OK - I'll try to explain how to add the Bearing and Lead Angle Pointer to the OLC GUI Attack Disk. The procedure is similar to makman94's sliderule addon, mentioned in the above post.
Please backup files, before you make any changes
.
1. Download latest version of Hitman's & joegrundman's U-jagd tools from -
http://files.filefront.com/U+jagd131.../fileinfo.html
Copy the U-jagd folder, in the U-jagd tools data/menu/ directory. Paste this copy in the data/menu/ directory of your SHIII installation - This contains the necessary image files.
2. Open dials.cfg (data/menu/cfg/) in SHIII installation with any text editor - notepad will do. Scroll down to the bottom of the file & add this entry -
[Dialxx]
Type=16; DIAL_TORP_DEPTH
Cmd=Set_torpedo_depth
Dial=0x0x3F4E1008
CrtVal=0x0x3F4E1006
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=5,5.2; meters
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes
RelativeDrag=Yes
You have to number this dial so it is in sequence with the others above it. For example, if the last block was numbered [Dial79], then change your entry from [Dialxx] to [Dial80]. Then go to the very top of the page. You will see a line DialsNo=xx. Add 1 to whatever this number is, then save & close file.
3. The final step is to edit the menu_1024_768.ini (data/menu/). Open file & use search tool to look for 'whizwheel'. The entries immediately below this word,in the text, relate to the OLC Attack Disk. Delete this section of text -

Then replace with this section of text - Just copy & paste.

You, then, need to number each of the block's [G3F Ixxx] lines, so they are in sequence with the previous blocks, before the text substitution. There is a boring, last step, which is renumbering all the [GF3 Ixxx] lines in the menu.ini, after the changes, to maintain the sequence - There are quite a few
. Take care with this. You did backup the file - didn't you?
Save changes & close the file. You should now have a new pointer on your OLC Attack Disk. It turns by clicking on the innermost, black section of the disk.
Any questions, problems or suggestions for simplifying/improving this procedure - Please let me know. This is rather complicated for a DIY mod - Apologies for that. I did this originally for my own use, but thought other forum members might find it useful.
