Dragable Chronometer in ALL screens (Ver. 1.1 available)

EDIT: I can make the chrono move, but you can't activate it.

Simple Idea to make the Chrono portable TO ALL SCREENS. After all, Kaleuns always have his chrono in hands.

First Download the new Chronometer with Wooden Casing:
http://rapidshare.de/files/16764339/..._v1.1.zip.html



------------------------------- MANUAL INSTALLATION ----------------------------
**************** First Backup Dials.cfg and menu_1024x768.ini. *******************
This method require to manually edit menu_1024x768.ini and Dials.cfg with the notepad.
Install the Data folder in the zip file over the Data folder of your SH3 Directory

Make the Chrono portable TO ALL SCREENS.
________________________________________

First, go to data/menu/cfg

Edit the file Dials.cfg, go to the first lines and increment the Dials numbers by 4 like this example:


[DIALS]
DialsNo=xx+4

example:
DialsNo=56; was 52

Now go to the end of the file and Copy paste these 4 definitions and replace
the xx by the numbers that follow the before number

*if your last dial definition was ie[Dial48] then replace the xx by ie 49,50,51,52

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoSec
Type=13; DIAL_CHRONO_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00002
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360

RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoMin
Type=14; DIAL_CHRONO_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00003
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoEstSec
Type=40; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00004
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoEstMin
Type=41; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00005
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

*Save the file after the changes (ctrl+S)


Now, open the menu_1024x768.ini file (../Data/Menu) and go to the last [G3F Ixx] parameter.
Continue the sequence like you did for Dials.cfg by entering these parameters:

IF YOU WANT THE CHRONO TO SHOW IN A SPECIFIC SCREEN.
__________________________________________________ __


What you have to do if you want to show the chronometer in a specific room/screen is simple.All you have to do is to do exactly what the previous manual installation instruction shows you.

Notice that all the references number are a mix of hexadecimal addressing, ie 0x3F000000. the 3Fxxxxxx or [G3F ixxx] is the reference number of the room/screen interface (ItemID and ParentID). Thus, you only have to replace the 3F by the referenced number of the screen you want, both in the Menu_1024x768.ini and Dials.cfg file.

Here is the list of the screen references ingame:

3F;Page layout
24;Page gui event camera
25;Page recognition manual
28;Page UZO
2B;Page obs periscope
26;Page attack periscope
27;Page binocular (Needles doesn't work ATM)
3B;Page TDC
31;Page navigation map
32;Page attack map
33;Page interior
34;Page exterior
35;Page captain log
36;Page mission order
37;Page radio messages



Therefore, if you want the Stop Watch to show only in binocular,
replace all the 0x3fxxxxxx by 0x27xxxxxx in Dials.cfg and Menu_1024x768.ini files.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KNOWN PROBLEMS/BUGS:

- The Chrono doesn't activate when I click on it.

It not a bug. The click ability is not implemented in this mod. Unfortunately, all buttons features in the
Interface of SH3 are Hardcoded somehow. Only effects and drag/drag buttons are accessible by now. If by any
chances you find or know a solution to that problem, feel free to write me at jonzadd@hotmail.com.
It will be my pleasure to integrade the solution with the mod and you will be fully credited in the release.

- The stop watch is showing, but it doesn't budge when I drag it, and the needles are off.

That could be for many reasons:

1. Make sure your new inputs are sequential and doesn't skip or write over an existing sequence.

Ex: [Dial53] parameter must have [Dial54] as the next sequence. or
[G3F i229] parameter must have [G3F i230] as the next sequence.

Any jumped sequences will results of errors or anomalies when playing SH3.

2. You followed the sequences number by the wrong room/screen number (ex: [G3F ixxx],,[G2F ixxx],,)

3. Many have reported that extra spaces in end of code lines may results anomalies.
Be sure to remove those extra spaces. Just don't remove spacers between parameters sequences.

- The Chrono Disapear when I press Del/. on Keypad

It not a bug. Since the chrono is binded to the Page Layout (0x3F000000), it supposed to disable like everything else on the Interface layout.
No workaround is found at the moment to override this matter.

- The Chrono work, but it behind some kind of mask, like behind the
Binocular mask.

It a stacking problem in the code. Every object you see on screen is
a stack display. The way it work is the objects called in the earlier
sequence (ie [G27 i2]) will be displayed OVER the later sequence
object (ie [G27 i3]). Thus, the mask covering the chrono is over the
stack. There's few workaround, but the simpliest way will be to
place the sequence of the chrono before the mask and renumber all
the section after. however, be aware that procedure can be very
long depending of the room/screen section. I would hardly
recommend to do it to sections such as 0x3f (Page Layout).

appreciate to be informed first.


- JonZ

Alright never mind...







As you can see, I succeeded :|\

[Church SUBSIM]

Fantastic!

[vodkaphile]

so how'd you do it?:P

There just a problem with it is it can only be activated through UZO or Periscopes. I don't know how it is possible it look like it have to be done elsewhere or in hardcode.

Maybe FLB Sale's know something, he did the buttons for the TDC for Periscope. Since he could make additionnal buttons different than the Periscope screen, maybe he can learn me something :P

[GT182]

You know what would be nice and maybe you could try it JonZ. Range to target showing up in the Attack Map screen. It's a pain jumping back to the scope TDC to see how close they are. Especially attacking warships.

You can already do it in TDC ??

Maybe you are looking for the FLB Sale's TDC to Periscope.
All the TDC dials in the Periscope screens

Sorry, I made a mistake on that. I just editied the above to Attack Map. Sorry about that.

lol no problem.

Hmm, interesting idea . I am at work for the moment, so I can't answer that. I think it slightly possible. :hmm:

[GT182]

LOL... sorry I threw you on that. It would be nice to see and I hope it's possible but.... with all the modders out there it's strange no one has tried to implement it before. Good luck on working it out JonZ.

Well perhaps because most of the people play at 100% realism and don't need a such feature since map contact update is deactivated. :hmm:

[GT182]

I know a few who don't use full realism, and they say the same about liking to see range displayed in the Attack Map.

I don't use Full Real either, and believe me, I don't sink em all. I've had many many misses. I figure if I have a weapons officer, he should do his job like the rest must or swim home. LOL

Understand.

Also to kept in mind that the most popular mods like RuB and IuB allow 100% realism with Map Contact update unchecked.

Still have to drive your ship back home manually

[panthercules]

Wow - I've been looking for a working stopwatch on other screens for a while now. This looks fantastic!

However, you show this on the TDC map - any chance you could make this work so it would be usable on the Nav map? That's where I always want to be to mark the position on the map at the end of the time interval, but the watch is on a different screen and I forget to go back and check it till too late a lot of times.

Great work

Hi, I was just reading your thread about the chronometer problem you posted some months ago. it disapointing to see that the Chrono cannot be activated elsewhere than UZO and Periscopes. TimeTravellers seems to hold the key answer.

It still could be Usefull. My main intention was to put it on ALL screens but I started where the chrono would be the most usefull first.


I would like to release the code, but for now I am trying to simplify it. There's codes that I am not sure if it necessary.
And the Chrono disapear when I drag it but reappear once I drop it
