[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[THE_MASK]

Absolutely fantastic

[Obelix]

Ja ja! Das ist fantastish!
Sorry, It's really fantastic!
Just one question: while other units operating in the mission move to new position with the boat or not? Or it will be an excellent tool for testing (not just for the environment)?

OK finally ready to try this - downloaded and now I cant make out what goes where - your mod references mod options for SH3 style, SH4 and SH5 I cannot fine any of these in the mod file - instead there are a bunch of other mods some of which I already have and others I'm not so interested in - Obviously I've missed something, I also am working in XP so the intructions for installations dont reference my operating system or at least they dont seem to - can some one help

Yes I do release updates quite frequently. I'm a perfectionist - nothing I can do about that. I have made updating relatively painless by including an app (written by me) to migrate your options file from old version to new version.

So take it for a spin. If you don't like it uninstall and go back to whatever you were using

Other units will not move. Only the player's sub will move to new location. This is to be used for testing. I could code in moving all the units but don't see the need to. You can use the mission editor to do that.

Main reason I made it is for testing the Sextant. This will allow you to quickly move to different starting locations so you can verify the Sextant is working correctly.

Noticed while testing it that I forgot to code in current location. So it's been added. A red boxed X will denote your current position on the world map (you are at the center of the X)


I quickly made the world map so I'm hoping someone with better Photoshop skills than I will make a better one. The map used came from \data\Terrain\Maps\Map1 (I kept the full size of the map - 4320 X 2160. Now this map is unloaded from video memory before the mission starts to avoid video memory problems )

all user options are located in \data\Scripts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file. You can open and edit the file with Notepad.

If you go back to posts #1 - 5 of this thread there are instructions for how to edit the options file and how to install the mod.

I have nothing against it, just may need and the unexpected.

I will try to appeal to Illyustrator, sure, he can draw a good map. (Unless there is another handy and do not draw a map before)

If Illyustrator can take the map from \data\Terrain\Maps\Map1 and color in the blue water and give the land color that would be excellent We have to stay with the map stated as that is one of the maps the game uses. It also needs to stay at the same dimensions of Map1. If he would like to use a bigger map we could use \data\Terrain\Maps\Map2 and I can adjust the code for it.

OK, We consider thisMaybe I myself can make a map - the experience of work in photoshop I do not have small, only an artist out of me no!

There was a proposal to remove the contacts on the navigation map. That is to say that they do not appear on the map spontaneously (intelligence, etc.) and to map his own according to radio intercepts.

[Obelix]

During heavy rain, the navigator determine the position of the boat.

Edit
In the screenshot:
Information at the top map of the contact makes it easy to determine the position of the boat on bearing of the contact

I haven't coded in weather yet for real navigation.

Any ideas on how to solve/resolve the bearing of the contact issue?

Or disable the display of contacts on the navigation map and put a mark on the contacts manually. Or remove the top of the navigation map contact information.

If you have last position and you know the current speed and bearing it is no problem to calculate your new position.

Maybe good idea is put the error +/- 2° to bearing and +/- 1 kt to current speed - these errors can be described as the "human error" (and effects of the wind, sea currents) and user should use sextant & chronometer to determine his 'real' position.

What do you mean?

Obelix was saying that the Navigator was able to calculate current position during heavy rains. Which is correct because I hadn't coded in weather to real navigation yet.

But I just finished that part of real navigation Here are the conditions when the navigator cannot calculate position based on weather:
- clouds overcast
- any type of rain
- heavy fog

[TheDarkWraith]

the mission settings box's change location's 'Change' didn't look very professional to me and it was too generic so I changed it to show your current location in lat and long degrees. Did the same thing to the world map current location:




@ Obelix - maybe Illyustrator can add lat and long lines to the world map? The world map I made for this can be found in \data\Menu\Gui\Layout\WorldMap.dds
