Sorry for annoying... but have you seen the map in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=165272 post #6? He looks good and he has KM grid system!

what is the KM grid system going to do for us? I ask because I don't understand. SH5 doesn't use any kind of grid system does it?

You're right, SH5 doesn't use it but I thought the immersion would be better as the historical maps have such grid system.
Never mind, forgot it and thanks so much for all your hard work!

I can see your wish, and i would love to have it authentic, too. But it might be a good idea to implement that with a campaign mod, that actually uses this system, than having it done in an UI mod not everyone uses (well, that might actually not be true, but who knows what the future brings?).

naights reworked (new .dds file) the notepads for the UZO, attack, and obs scopes. A major improvement in visual quality

Build = NewUIs_TDC_2_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
Reolution = Windowed @ 1600x1024
Start from in Port Save - Total Germany Campaing (Hard Diffivulty)

My Changes to "data\Scripts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py"

UIStyle = SH3Style
HeadingRudderKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.H ]
FollowSelectedTargetHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.F ]

TeleportToAttackScope = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.P, True ]
IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.K, True ]

Problem's Discovers:
No TDC Dials display in Obs, Attack, UZO views. Default is set to display Minimal TDC Dials.
Intermittent issue using Obs view. Clicking "Exit Station" button returnns to camera view external to boat.
Notepad only displays in UZO view. This is also intermittent.
Obs and Attack Periscope View is off center to right side.

you didn't enable a TDC mode....you have to enable one of the add-on TDC mode mods....I know this because scopes are off center

Currently the only valid values for TDCMode is TDCMinimalDials or NOTDCDials (this is mentioned in the file)

If the default is Minimal TDC Dials, shouldn't that MOD already be installed?

no. As it says in the file I'm still working on getting that to configure the TDC dials automatically. Currently it doesn't work correctly so you have to enable one of the TDC mode add-on mods I included.

TheDarkWraith · 05-02-10, 06:46 PM

I've noticed something: the XO TDC dialog is out of sync with the TDC on/off. You have to click on turn TDC off then turn TDC on to get the notepad settings to be visible. I'm looking for solution for this.

EDIT: problem fixed. I made the XO default to turn TDC on at game start.

The CrewWarnings Text Bos button at Top Right corner went away upon clicking it once.

Good feedback. I forgot to take into account SH3 dials for the notepad. I'll fix that. I'll have the notepad move up to the same height as the messagebox. Then you can click the TDC dials on/off to view. You can always use the hotkey for toggling the messagebox visibility also.

Messagebox toggle disappearing after clicking on it is expected. That is the set new minimum size button. So basically you just told the messagebox that that is it's new minimum size (looks like it just so happens to be it's maximum size also). Now if you click on the top of the messagebox and drag it with the mouse the toggle will return (because you resized it) and it's saying if you want to make this the new minimum size then click me. When you set a new minimum size the messagebox will never shrink less than that size when you click the toggle at the bottom right of the messagebox (or use the hotkey)

The UZO stadimeter readings seem way off, by about 700m when aligned with top of masts, readings with the scopes seem ok.

When using the stadimeter in conjunction with the notepad the angle value is showing correctly as you use the stadimeter. If however you then click the range button again the range is shown in the angle field.

The new system in the SH5 TDC box allows for the user to type the numeric values in directly perhaps this would be good to add to the notepad too.

Noticed that the draggable compasses jump a fair distance when you flip them, it might be better if they stayed in the same location.

Going to try and get my poor crew injured now... it's all in the line of duty!
