what are the green lines for on the ships? You can barely read the text also....

Lovely!

I like the 'paper cover' too.

Those are the markings for the broken stadimeter. Worked very much to take these measurements and it's sad to see how broken the stadimeter is. Those green lines are where the stadimeter (stock, without any fix) will read the right range. So if you put the stadimeter horizontal line where is the green marking in the recon manual, you should get the corect range value for the selected target.

What I did was to load all SH5 ships into a custom mission, measure the range for every ship with the stadimeter, then I marked with the green line where the stadimeter will give you the good range value for every ship. I was completly surprised to see that there is no 2 ships with the same value, is no rule or pattern...

About the text.. not sure what text are you taling about. The info from the manual with the ship Lenght, mast etc.. or..?

TDW helped out with an optimized .py file, download link is updated, thank you very much.

Good work Magnum, this looks really nice

And, good going on finding another way to fix the stadimeter, I know that what you did had to be pretty time consuming.

Anyway, if I may make a suggestion, why not include this right into reaper7's UI without the green lines since he already has a stadimeter fix? Or Magnum, perhaps you could simply make another version without the green lines that would be intended to be used along with reaper7's UI. Again, just a suggestion. Either way, thanks for this mod.

I agree and intercede fot that.

Why is my text in rec. manual in white please? Text then merges with the background.

I have the same text problem with this (the bright version). That is why I also made a modified night vision version of it (so the text would show). I have US copy of game.

It's not compatible yet with my UIs mod (breaks the automatic mast height entry and doesn't allow manual entry of mast height). I have more script work to do with it. I sent Reaper7 a PM and awaiting a response back before I work on it any further.

Thats fine TDW, fire ahead. You can make any changes needed

.

As regards White text You need to change the Styles sheet to change the colours.
I have it done in my Mod to be black, I can post if ye want it.
Sure may as well post now. Link here:

Yeah, I forgot to add the css file, that's why only me was seeing the text black.. I'm still noob in modding

Updated the download links with a new release.

Reaper7 said that he will include it in his UI, so expect an update there. Not sure how this will work with TDW UI, but now he made several changes on the script, it should work. Download the pack with his changes and test it. I will upload later today a version with the green lines removed to be used with the major UI mods where the stadimeter is fixed and no need for these lines.

That's a localization problem, you are using the german version. I will try to make an update for this version too asap.
