I looked through my code to see what was going on (and to remember how they worked) and now I know why you can't set a supermark. In order to place a supermark your sub or a previous supermark has to be visible in the nav map. I need a reference to work off of to 'place' the supermark and that is why there is this limitation (and this was the only way I could get them to work).

Thxs for the explanation. That illustrates why at extreme zoom-in without any sub-icon and no other shown supermarks it is not possible to add a supermark on the map.

I reinstalled real nav and forget to comment out the sub . sorry .

Does it matter when this is installed?

No. Each patch can be enabled/disabled at any time :up:

Great, thanks :up:

DOH--me too. Sorry DW. For some reason I thought one of the other patches/mods took care of this.

Hmm. I verified my menu.txt has the right entries--but still can't place a SM unless there is another SM within view. For now, just using solution above, creating one zoomed out, then moving it, zoomed in.

see post #151

got it

preview for mapcolors?
 

Hi TDW,

thanks again for your great work.

To make the pathcher even more enjoyable for noobs like me, there would be one thing that'll be realy helpfull.

Sometimes when chosing new colors, I had problems with the readability.
And starting up SH5 to check the new colors always take a lot of time, so
a navmap preview would be awesome.

regards

You have some colors chart exprimed in RGB value here:

RGB-COLORS-CHART-1

RGB-COLORS-CHART-2


And here is a useful tool to make your combination in the RGB code to see how the colors will be displayied in your game:

RGB-colors-CALCULATOR

Hi Folks!

I´ve a question: Can we change the color for the plotting line with the SH5-Patcher Tool?

I mean, when i click with left mouse key on my sub-icon on NavMap to plot the course, this color of line I would change in another color (because the line is too thin, hard to see) ?

Mean "compass" from the above quote these plotting line ? And when yes, I doesn´t find the right setting in the SH5-Patcher-Tool ? Which "change Number" is for the compass ?:hmmm:

Best regards,
Magic

Thx Stoianm, very helpfull!

But personaly, with these charts only, I find it hard to figure out if these colors are matching. Maybe I'm some kind of colorblind??
So I thought that this could be a nice feature if TDW is bored for a minute or two. :D

Men here everything is clear and simple.:har: Choosing a protractor choose the color you want, make it true.:yeah: You also have to have all chewed only remaining swallow,:yep: and all. it is not clear?:timeout:
