Wonderful idea!

This is absolutely my much-favoured UI mod! Thank you reaper7! You´ve come an incredibly long way since version 1.0!

Cheers Mate Glad you like the changes

But I still got more Didn't like the way the game was running my RAOBF due to the method I had to use to keep proper scale with regard to screen resolution.

So went and totally reworked my RAOBF Dials and redid the methods employed to scale them in-game.
The Graticules of the RAOBF scale with the scope to maintain proper degree spacing, while the RAOBF scales in relation to the screen resolution.
Now there is less distortion while scaling plus I've much better graphics and easier to read numbering on the dials



To be released soon.

Finished article. Did some tweaking on lighting etc and did the Redlight mode.

Reworked RAOBF dials are great!

Ok Version 4.13 of the Ui-Boat mod is released:



Fixes as in previous 2 posts.
RAOBF has been reworked, Higher resolution in-game now.
RAOBF Graticules aligned to Scope Graticules (were 1 pixel out).

Hi reaper7,
I really like your mod! It's all the SH5 Community was waiting for.
But I have one question though:
Is there any tutorial on how to use the RAOBF on the different zoom levels in the attack periscope?

Greetings from Germany

See this thread link

The rings used look different but it will all work the same way

Hey Reaper, just took your latest version out for a test run. Nice job mate. Everything is looking and running great. I love the addition of having metal in view when you first start raising the Attack scope. I didn't realize that was a texture we were seeing there. Or did you add that as an overlay?

Hiya Mate, good to hear from you. Now yah had a nice break I can't wait to see your new additions
Only joking, but seriously its great to have you back

Glad you like that little touch, yup its an overlay that is attached to the alpha (Cover) of the periscope lens.
Works well once you don't rotate the scope while the texture is in view .
Discovered that little trick when I was attempting to get animated background for the 2D Interface working, but due to linear dials working only in the up/down plane and not left/right plane had to give up on it .

Have some more ideas for my next release. Gonna be good ones

Also made those charts (Just waiting on permission first As Based mine of originals)






Also some bugs worked out and currently tracking down one or two more bugs.

Tried to understand how to read the charts for the torpedoes ... but without success, one advice? I am sure that it is a straight 90° attack, but the lb and u cannot work out.
Thanks for your help

Reaper the link for 4.14 goes to Subsim main.I used the previous 4.13 link further down the page(leads to 4.14) but others may not be so lucky.
