For those with slider mods

Maera

I couldn't find an answer, probably because I can't figure out how to word it for a search. Basically, I added a slider mod and enabled max sliders in Master Controller. However now the sliders are so powerful too the point of being useless. Is there a way that I can enter a numerical value as opposed to using the slider bar? I need more control! Thanks to all in advance

I use some custom body slider mods and do use MasterController but I don't see any setting in MC to "enable max sliders". I don't know which setting you are referring to, so I'll take a few guesses.

Under MC>Settings>CAS there's a setting "Max Sliders in CAS" but that's a numerical value you enter. Default is 100. I think this setting determines how many slider mods you can have. There isn't any documentation on the MC Interactions page that I can find, so that's only a guess.

There's also 2 entries for Slider Multiples, one for Facial and one for Body. Those could make sliders more "powerful" because they increase the range of the sliders. For example, a slider which normally goes from 0 to 256 would now go from 0 to 512 if you set the Slider Multiple to 2. At high multiple values this setting makes precise control of sliders somewhat difficult in my experience. But these two settings are not something you enable, it's a number you have to pick.

Finally I see a setting to Override Custom Core Sliders, default set to false. Did you enable that setting (that is, set it to true)? I never have. I don't know what it does. The description on the MC Interactions page doesn't explain much.

I hope that helps. As far as I know, there's no way to manually enter a value for a slider position. There is a setting in MC that shows the number positions on sliders, but it doesn't allow you to enter numbers. Finally, my comments are based on MasterController v133. Maybe you are using a much older version with a setting to "enable max sliders" that I don't see in the current version.

There is no documentation on the Max Sliders setting because it is still considered new and experimental, having been released in v132. That pertains to the number of sliders, not how individual ones behave. The Custom Core option pertains to users of core mods that affect sliders such as Awesome and XCAS.

What sliders are we talking about, exactly, if they are suitable to discuss on open here?

Oh, I didn't realize the Max Slider setting was new. I guess I don't remember it not being there. Thanks for the explanation of the Custom Core option. I read the description several times and drew a complete blank on what it was referring to.

@Maera in MC CAS Settings what is your slider Multiple? I usually set mine at default 1, which is EA default. I HAVE on occasion bumped it up to 2, to get a bit more out of the sliders (some people will increase this more, to like 5 or so). You should be able enter a numerical value by shift-clicking on the slider, and then entering whatever number you want.

I think the main problem was the sim I was trying to edit was not my own, and had custom sliders already used on it by the original creator, which was making editing really wonky. Everything seems to work ok with my settings when I'm making my own sims on my current settings (max sliders 100, multiples of 5). However, I am still unable to shift-click to enter numerical values...is there another option I'm forgetting that needs to be clicked somewhere?

Oh, and I'm using MTS Jonha sliders & LadyFrontBum's Bella3lek4's Facial Sliders (hopefully ok to mention here lol).

GaiaHypothesis

Yeah that likely is the issue. If someone else is using slider multiples that differentiate from yours it can make things wonky. There should be another setting in CAS settings (MC) that says something about numerical value. "Show numeric slider value" make sure that is set to TRUE. Its right after the "show in compact form" options.

TRY that, and if that's set to true then..... I dont know!!!

Maera

Awesome! This is the first time playing with custom sliders, so haven't found all the different options. I'll go check and see if I've set that one. Appreciate your help
