I remember someone bringing this up a couple times: particularly in those HUD debate threads.
Can the LCD display on a Logitech G15 keyboard support Renegade? If so, how?
I just got this keyboard... but I don't have any games that the LCD display supports installed ATM, so I wanted to see it in action.

Or SSD's. I'm sick and tired of these assholes loading their levels faster than me and grabbing the crates.

The only game where everyone competes to be an e-janitor.

You can but that's not the way he created it.
This is the exact same discussion as building bars, as that's what he showed on the keyboard.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I don't have anything on my G15 related to Ren. I think andr3w282 created something. It's funny, because EA made C&C3 support G15s and it shows numbers that you couldn't get otherwise at a glance. It's generally been held (in other game communities) that the skill of the game is how well you react to situations, and how well you aim your mouse, not how well you deal with limitations in the UI.
I'm the bawss.

It doesn't matter how he creates it, it's how the keyboard itself works.
The keyboard comes loaded with programs, such as a clock, stopwatch, RAM/CPU monitors, ect. It can only show one program at a time.
Regardless of how the Renegade input information is, I could still have my clock as the default program and only have the information come up when I press a button. (The switch program button)

jnz posted a simple but lovely c++ wrapper on the g15 sdk a while back and it demo'd basic usage of it. The code was compiled inside of shaders.dll so naturally it allowed full access to everything. I meant to wrap that and the principles of jnzs ideas it into a customizable class but never got around to it. One issue i found is he was using version 2 of the g15, whereas i have version 1 so i had to play around with the font settings to make them legible.
Another way I had done it was via a proxy app that runs outside of renegade. I used a g15 .net sdk wrapper that was released and used VB.net to read renegade memory locations X times per second and then draw it on the lcd. This of course is much less of a code-"drawing" headache but gives limited access and only access to static constant memory locations like your players health and what not. Also allows you to not have to mess with your renegade at all.
