[REL] OLC Ubermod v2.4.3 for GWX 2.1

[bybyx]

I would like that the attack periscope to be as big as the Observation periscope. I also would like that the dials to be bigger when they pop-up including those from TDC and the markings on the AOB tool to be more detailed.
I am not saying that the mod is not good, on the contrary, it is wonderful for me because i can finally play SH3 with manual targeting but if I knew how to make a mod these are the the modifications I would make

You can use the OLC GUI 1.2.7 stand alone instead of GUI Special to keep the zoom levels. You'll lose the "3d waves which make your periscopes worthless except in perfectly calm seas or when surfaced seen through the scopes" though. You just have to deal with the double mast things and slightly different tools. This will also restore the zoomed in map view as well.

As you found out though, you can delete the Submarine folders under GUI Special, then change the SymbolZoom= settings in maps.cfg to change the "no map contacts zoomed in" feature of GUI Special. Search this thread for exactly how to do that.

All the same charts are there in OLC GUI. Move the mouse to the left for the convoy map, to the top for the minefield/subnet maps and to the right for the time/speed conversion charts. Especially with the Convoy one I preferred the drag down map since it was easier to reference and wasn't cut off, but most of the data is available.

Yeah, I prefer the old style myself but it'll work. I do miss the mirrored chrono on every screen, but again that's replaceable.

[gutted]

nah, i'll pass on it.

i prefer to have a stadimeter for ranging.

Just one question..
Do I have flat sun issue?


I admitt I use old misc tga(I replaced newer 14mb tgas with 4 mb old versions)?
I don't use any ccc feature(use ati hd2600pro).. Because of perfomance..

Thanks..

Cheers!

Could you post another screenshot taken at 1500h?
Also, what time of year is it?

I had this kind of sun in OLC 2.4.2 with resolution fix enabled.

Very good work, one of the best mods ever created for SHIII/GWX. I've decided to use OLCE2 only (sunrises and sunshines and ocean never looked better, very close to real), mostly because it's not possible to use OLC GUI with integrated orders (absolutely must have for me).
Many thanks OLC

[Sledgehammer427]

Ctrl+Shift+PgUp makes the sun look less "flat"
alsot gives the proper atlantic "haze" if you ask me

Thanks for making outstanding mod.

I now play with SH3 + GWX + SHCmdr 3 + OLCE2 + OLC GUI Special
and I could not be happier

PS.
I also printed the AOD Map pages and had my wife laminate them to a nice table map.
To my surprise, she liked it and started thinking it could made great tablet to kitchen !!!
...maybe I'll have to print another...

OLC, I'd like to use the following 4 mods of yours:

OLCE2
OLCE2 Adjusted GWX 2.1 Crew Skins
OLCE2 Adjusted GWX 2.1 Enhanced Damage Effects
OLCE2 Fixed GWX 2.1 Ship Reflections

Do they need to be activated in a certain order?

Do these mods need to be activated before AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugfix or after?

I'm also using other mods along with yours. Should yours be activated first and then the other mods or should I activate yours at the end?

Ace would you mind reading the README for your first question.
(Also JSGME will warn you about any collisions, those 4 olce2 mods will not conflict)

#2 Not that it would matter but it's a good idea to install AOTD first than all other mods..

I did read the README file but I was still confused. In any case, I just tried activating the mods and it seems to have worked.

I do have another question however, regarding OLCE2's use of 16km Atmosphere. I noticed me game became more laggy and I think it's because of this. Is there any way to change the Atmosphere from 16km to 8km? Is there a patch or mod for this?

[wolfpack_jim]

And now time to beg.
