[EN] The PipBoy2 beta1 english thread

Hi english G50 users and welcome on this small piece of France !
Feel free to register and post in the forums, we can understand english for the most part...

Here you can post every remark or problem you encounter with the PipBoy 2 beta. It will help to finish this version and release it to the public.
I thank you to report every mistake that I could have done while writing and traducing this short user manual, and every bug you find in the program

What is in this PipBoy 2 beta package :

• 3 fonts (needed)
  
• script
  
• plugins
  
• driver
  
• English and French langage files
  
• PipBoy Companion (not really multilang yet but i'm certain it's simple enough to understand)
  

You will need Everest Ultimate, Fraps, and of course LCDhype

PipBoy Installation

I - First, install Everest and configure it :
in Everest préférences :
Stability : tick 2,4,5,6,11 boxes, untick the others
External apps (or whatever it is called) :
- check box 1, uncheck the others.
- In the list, check "CPU speed, "CPU temp" and "GPU diode"
It's not necessary to activate "load with windows", it's driven by the script.

II - Next, install Fraps and start it.
In settings menu, General tab, check the 2 first boxes, uncheck the 3rd one
FPS tab, check 'Disables' box and uncheck the others

III - Now, let's install the fonts :
Press win+R on your keyboard, enter 'fonts'
Drag the 3 fonts in this directory

IV - Finally, LCDHype :
1) install LCDhype 0.6
2) Copy the content of the LCDHype directory (update) to the place where you installed LCDHype
3) Start LCDHype, configure it like the screenshots :


Here, click on 'advanced options' :

Choose your prefered key combination for the PipBoy fonctions.

V - Now, launch the PipBoy Companion, it is located in %Program Files%\LCDHype\scripts\PipBoy2\Companion.exe
On the first page, browse and find 'en.lang' file. It's in the same directory.
Continue the configuration and accept when it's done.

VI - Now, return to LCDHype and launch the PipBoy script (%Program Files%\LCDHype\scripts\PipBoy2\PipBoy2.5.sd)

You should see your new PipBoy instead of the ugly DirectConsole screens

Basic use

Old screenshots from 1.13.13, but it's not really different now :


When your PipBoy is started, you can use your key combos to control it :
- LEFT, RIGHT : switch mode
- UP, DOWN : change screen inside the mode (except in options page) or change option in options page (in options page)
- SP1 : Enable/disable autochanging of pages (except in options page) or choose option (in options page)
- SP2 : Call/exit otions page


Alerts :
- Critical CPU temp
- Critical GPU temp
- Critical CPU & GPU temps

Popups :
- Mode change
- Autochange on/off
- Volume change (XP only)
- Volume Mute (XP only)
- Wifi on/off
- Ethernet on/off
- AC line on/off
- CPU speed change (change > 50Mhz only)

Special fonctions :
- Screen autochange and screensaver to minimize OLED burnin effect
- Normal mode switches automatically to Gaming Mode if GPU or CPU temps reaches level 1
- Control of everest and fraps on loading, basic error control (if you see 'Everest error' on loading, don't panic, it can take a few seconds to initialize. The PipBoy will start when everything is ok... Or will stay stuck there, and you'll need to verify Everest setup).
- Every usefull fonction is configurable with the PipBoy Companion

Troubleshooting / FAQ
- "Problem with Everest" on startup : please let Everest initialize itself, and the PipBoy will continue loading. It it stays stuck there, you should check your Everst setup.
- No volume popups : you're using Vista, right ?
- Annoying CPU change popup : The script is working the way it should, with a builtin 50Mhz error margin. Your PC is not. Check your PC.
- Empty boxes in the second clock screen (normal-2) : is Wifi connected ? Is Ethernet plugged ? Is AC line plugged ? Is your CPU overclocked ? These are the 4 ipossibles icons for the 4 boxes... Check your PC...
- PipBoy doesn't report any infos about wifi and/or ethernet : check the name of your adapters and copy them in the PipBoy companion, last tab. It should resolve your problem
- Can I control case cover leds ? Not for the moment
- How can I stop the old DirectConsole screens appearing ? Stop using DirectConsole, they are not compatible. Isn't the PipBoy far more better ?

I switch to this version and here is my problem: it concerns he time and date on the clock page

Thank you

Hi StefUb

I had the same problem !

In your LCDHype\scripts\PipBoy Folder, open "Companion.exe"
In Companion, Info in top, "Parcourir" button and open "en.lang" close and restart LCDHype !
