I'm not complaining....your work is VERY GOOD!

I installed the mod correctly...the problem wasn't your mod. I just never knew I could switch gauges. Therefore I have only seen the default gauges which are displayed on the bottom row of your screenshot. I am new to the Silent Hunter Series, in fact this is my first. So when I saw your updated screenshot changing the red borders to shiny with gauges I never seen...Wow... I thought you created them. It's kind of funny... nowhere has there been a screenshot posted with the knots and rudder dials...that I've seen, until you posted one.
In other words... I thought you were a genius for creating NEW gauges...oops
Thanks ever so much for your reply and for the GREAT JOB with the NEW GAUGES

Has anyone taken a screenshot of what the whiter gauges look like at night?
I'm more interested in the enhanced crew icons.

jimimadrid--s_shinyborder_Hud.rar conflicts with Real Medals v1.01. Is there a simple way to merge the 2 onto the CrewSystemsManagement.dds, so they don't conflict? I'm guessing it's simply the rearrangement of medals in Real Medals?

I'll ask fullmetaledges too.

Here you get a new CrewSystemsManagement.dds with the new Medals and my Icons. Replace with this the one in Real Medals, and delete it from my shinyborder_Hud. So no conflicts will occur.

Later on the day i will create a new version of my shinyborder_Hud without the crewmanagement and an extra Mod only with the Icons.

[Tigrone]

OK, faster than a speeding MOD! Thank you so much.

[jimimadrid]

As promised:

shiny_Hud Mod without Crewmanagement_Icons:

Only Crewmanagement_Icons (Without Real_Medals - The Real Medals Mod will include my Icons):

Great work! .

Now I have a question/problem, about the HUD.dds, Im trying to insert new icons in the "blank" buttons added in a mod (the old orders of SH3 that not appear in SH4) I convert the HUD.dds to photoshop format to edit, make the changes, save it in Photoshop format, and convert it again in .dds file. But when I starts the sim and enter in the sub I saw this black background over the green and yellow buttons...

Looks to me like you've got a transparency problem. The black bits in the HUD.dds file should be transparent. I don't know how the DDS plugin in Photoshop works, but I'd make sure haven't altered the alpha channel (transparency).

[Antenor]

I try 2 ways to convert, one with the dds converter 2.1 and 2 with a nvidia plugin for photoshop, in the to cases I have the same black background. Here post a images of each program for you can see the options screen, I use the default settings, but, I may change something to apply transparency?.

Thank you!

Look in the "Alpha" channel in photoshop, I am pretty sure that's your problem. That's like a mask. If anything is blocked in the "Alpha" (black) it will not show up properly in the game. And when you save use the DXT 5 Interpolated Alpha.

[jimimadrid]

Hola Antenor,
please use this photoshop plugin to load and save direct the dds files.

if you use new icons, take care to renew the alphachannel.
