Mini Chrono not mini anymore

[mercury_marauder]

Does anyone know how to make the chrono small again because the mod for it dosn't work with 1.3 without error warnings of things missing?

[CaptainCox]

Here is the code you need to render the clock 75% smaller. Plug this in to the

menu_1024_768.ini

Found here

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu

Open with Notepad and find

[G29 I2]- [G29 I18]

DONT FORGET TO BACK UP THE ORIGINAL "menu_1024_768.ini" before you do this!!!

DDDDDDAAAAAAAMMMM you did that fast!

Thanks for the help and quick reply CC. And I am sure others will be glad for the info as well!

[CaptainCox]

Cheers. actually did it some days ago

[the_belgian]

The 75pct. one gives me no time untill impact,so for me;back to big ben...

[CaptainCox]

Hm, thats strange as I only changed the size of things.
If you want to try yourself look at this line from in the "menu_1024_768.ini"
found here

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu

Open with "NOTEPAD"

[G29 I2] to [G29 I19]

Check out the ZONE LINE

[G29 I2]
Name=Chrono
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x29020000
ParentID=0x29000000
Pos=412,0,312,300
Zone= 412 768 312 300 0 1 0x29000000 1 0 0x29020000 -1 0 -300 0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

if you want to set it to lets say 60% you just do the calc
Like this
312/100X60=187.2
300/100x60=180

etc etc
If you want to set it to 70%
312/100x70=218,4
300/100x70=210

etc etc

You have to do this to the 3rd and 4th value in all the zone lines from
[G29 I2] to [G29 I19] and you can set the size to what ever you want.

[CaptBackasswards]

Work fine when I tried it. Thanks! CaptCox.

One thing that I had to worry about was positioning the second hand when I worked on this (I chose a 50% reduction so that may have had something to do with it). The parts that I had to change was as follows.

[G29 I8]
Zone= 563 567 4 30 0 1 0x2902000C 0.5 -1 0x29020011 -0.5 1 -1 11

had to be changed to

[G29 I8]
Zone= 563 567 4 30 0 1 0x2902000C 0.519 -1.0628 0x29020011 -0.5 1 -1 11

for a close aproximation. This moved the hand slightly to the right and slightly down. The second hand still seems slightly off but I got tired of messing with it. Hope that helps anyone with this same problem. My res is only 1024x768 (would use higher if my system would not lag so badly since I can not shrink the panels on the periscope/TBT screens). Please note that these figures are for a 50% reduction and you will have to find your change through trial and error.

Cheers

Nice one cheers!

If you are using the u-boat add-on (version 1.5) for Silent Hunter, here is the proper code that will get you a working mini chrono with all the parts in the right places and running like any fine time piece should.

There were changes in the menu_1024_768.ini file (for some reason, they changed the order of the tags) as well as changes to the directory structure and file locations that made previous stand alone mini chrono cause the latest version of SH to throw fits. So here you go, thanks mainly to Jimimadrid and captaincox.

A mini chrono that works 100% - ONLY for version 1.5

Just paste this text into any text editor, save and implement with JTeX.exe
