FAO TDW
It's a bank holiday this side of the pond so just managed to have a very quick test (had to take Her out lol) Anyways 1st thing that's struck me is the Knuckle to port/starboard and the double knuckles don't seem to be working It's off the Engineer Maneuvers UI Until i've had tea i won't get a chance to see if anything else crops up Running AllDials on top of the Base with twisty things and scopes and coloured chart Back asap after tea Cheers

those only work when submerged and if you're not deep enough then first it takes you to a deeper depth. Then it starts the knuckle commands. You probably didn't wait long enough to get the depth to see it issue the commands for the knuckles.

Another idea for you to chew over... feel free to spit it out if it tastes nasty!
I was thinking about the draggable compass again, perhaps it would be good as a three way tool... functions 1. place it on a target to determine her course (0 up?) 2. hit the button to flip the compass to get your intercept bearing (180 up) 3. grab the other ring and rotate it to the ships heading to determine a target's angle on the bow. Maybe we could even have second button to scale the tool or use a different "frame" within the dds file for increased image clarity?

added a new feature: show an officer's abilities. If you left click and hold on an officer that is already selected then after 1 second his abilities page will show so you can change them rapidly
EDIT: removed the requirement that they have to be selected first. When you click on them with left mouse button it will select them. Last edited by TheDarkWraith; 05-03-10 at 11:32 AM. |

that sounds like a mod conflict to me. I would disable all mods except UIs mod (and TDC add-on) and try it again.

The "hidden depths" of Silent Hunter 5 (pun intended).
It makes you wonder how many crew animation files etc are also just waiting to be "reconnected".

Looking good, not sure if it's possible, but could the cross in the middle turn with the outer ring as that would greatly help when aligning with a ship to determine AOB?

now you ask after I already 'erased it'.....yes it can be done. I removed the cross from the outer dial but left it in the inner dial. Like I said someone with better photoshop skills than I needs to make this. I made this one just for testing the theory and implementation of it.
