Updated 9/16/07

Here it is. I added a lot of commands to the orders bars using OakGroove's orders bar graphics and cdrake66's extra icons which Ducimus put in TM.

Changelog:
(Modified from TM 1.6.2)
*Added Battle Stations and Silent Running to ALL stations excepting Free Camera Tab.
*Interior View Tab - added Nav Map.
*Nav Map Tab - added Max. Range at Current Speed, Depth Under Keel, and Deploy Decoys. Removed Gramophone button.
*Periscope Tab - added Attack Map and Crash Dive.
*Conning Tower Tab - added Nav Map, and Crash Dive.
*Deck Gun Tab - added Nav Map.
*AA Gun Tab - added Nav Map.
*Hydrophone Tab - added Nav Map and Attack Map.
*Radar Tab - added Nav Map
*Crew/Damage Control/Loadout Tab - no changes.
*Free Camera Tab - Replaced Previous/Next Unit buttons.

Here's a sample of a few tabs:

Cool! Take a bow NefariousKoel!

No more hunting for, "that key"

Cheers,

Those 3 guys did all the work I just added to it.

I liked some stuff in numerous mods but it seemed like each one was missing a button or two that another one had. I just threw them all in.

For example: RFB had the Run Silent & Battle Stations on all tabs which I always liked (along with some other additions) and TM had Range at Current Speed (for example). I wanted my cake and eat it too!

Plus, double clicking on the Nav map and then going back to the previous tab I was on (back and forth in a short span) started getting annoying, so I added it to a few useful tabs. Less clicks = me happy.

What screen resolutions will this work in?

NefariousKoel · 09-16-07, 03:03 AM

I believe 1024x width is the only one it won't be kind to resolution-wise.

I made it using 1280x but 1152x and up should be good to go.

Any chances of getting a version with the stock order bar graphics?

I'm looking into it. Right now, with a stock look, there are a few buttons that don't have a symbol on them at all.

Tikigod · 09-16-07, 01:53 PM

Is this like integrated orders mod for sh3? where it maps macro keys to actual buttons?

leovampire · 09-16-07, 02:27 PM

Is it possable to easily change the color of the order's bar to like a Brass color? OR is it very complicated?

For instance I like using the Shinny Border's Hud from Jimmadred and was wondering if the outer ring texture for that can be applied to the order's bar.

Hmm, that's weird. I just did a quick and not that dirty version of this orders bar mod of yours but with the stock colors. No missing symbols. Gonna make a few adjustments in it and probable release

NefariousKoel · 09-16-07, 05:00 PM

Go for it Misfit. I miss having stock colors with green lamps mod too and need the extra buttons.

LV- I'm sure it's possible to change the colors and such but I'm definitely no gfx person.

leovampire · 09-16-07, 05:09 PM

I know what looks good and works right for the game and how to manipulate the numbers to get what I want for effect's but when it comes to making textures or making new DDS files and adding the layers to them so so forth I might as well be a 5 year old trying to do it for the first time.

He he, actually I hated to green lamp enoght to have it removed from my system a long time

But making an additional version which includes the green lamp mod shouldn't be a too big of a hassle

NefariousKoel · 09-16-07, 06:10 PM

It's okay, I just finished fixing the classic style with green lamp mod. It uses the RFB style buttons.

Uploading now after I revise the ReadMe.

NefariousKoel · 09-16-07, 06:29 PM

Okay here is the classic style all in one orders bar for those of you who want the gray bar with yellow/green buttons.

I had to change the menu.txt file for new tooltips but everything still runs fine - if you install over RFB or TM, the main menu will be back to stock text but there will be more tooltips for the new orders and I also included Duci's great torpedo tooltip text. Also used the RFB-style Silent Running button (the cool SHHH one).

JSGME ready
