Cold Waters retro UI released

MekStark · 06-27-17, 11:10 AM

as the title says, if you want bit different, heavier feel to ingame UI grab it here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=5256

this modification changes the appearance of ingame panels, icons, supplies new periscope graphics (both monocular and binocular) new plotting-table styled TACMAP and some other minor things like colours of ingame text on some panels, position of icons, bearing indicator, zoom scale readouts etc

tested in 1.04b

some screens:

have fun!

This is great! The stock UI is very good, but it is fun to have choices and change things up.

Long live Cold Waters!

This is very nice!

Very nice work

MekStark · 06-27-17, 03:39 PM

one of things I would very much like would be different panels for different subs, but that at the moment isn't possible AFAIK

Berserker · 06-27-17, 04:53 PM

I would like to see the environment tab that shows depth to floor and thermal layers so all you have to do is left click on a depth and your sub dives to that depth..

..I am tired of kissing the floor..

Yes it is. Each sub references its own HUD as specified in the
default/vessels/vessel.txt file:
PlayerHUD=hud/default

You can make multiple HUDs and they should swap out depending on the sub being played at run time.

I thought that I saw on steam that the devps were going to make a Helm UI similar to that of the SH series as far as speed, nav etc...

Is this correct? If not I am sure our guys could make one just as good if not better.

hi all just started playing cold water love the look and feel of it use to play sh3 and make mods and camo for the subs. And i came across this little jem so iv started to up date the the layer that's if MekStark doesn't mine...?
I started by sorting out the weapon control panel

It's difficult to see much difference from a photo. When it's ready, upload the work you have done and some of us will install it and let you know.

Please do as I would like to see your work in-game.

I'm guessing this mod is for earlier versions of CW.

Mod is broken on my installation. Vanilla install, 1920x1080 with 1x UI scaling, all as suggested in the readme. But still have a broken and useless weapon panel and missing icons with a lot of large white spaces where UI detail and icons/buttons should be.

What does show properly, however, looks amazing. Fantastic look and feel.

It's just too bad I can't actually use this mod. Looks great.

Thanks.
