:D Wider version looks great! Thank you! :up:

[TarJak]

Love it, looks great. Actually gives a reason to use the OS.:up:

[Dimitrius07]

Note: I simply forgot to wright thise, when you install the package - you will see 4 new folders in sh3 MOD folder, from thise point - use one of the versions according to readme, just be shure you roll back sh3 commander before.

You also prety shure that you can use it in the middle of patrol, thince its only texture changes ;).

Love it, looks great. Actually gives a reason to use the OS.:up:

Agreed. I have the standard version me thinks and it's if anything something different. Another thing it 'fixes' is althought the magnification is correct in the regular OS the ring indicates 1-6x which mirrors the AT graphic.

[Jimbuna]

Just for clarrification, in your first post you advise 'do not install it in MOD directory' In your whilst in your second post you advise 'you will see 4 new folders in sh3 MOD folder'.
Could you furtherr advise ? :hmm:

[Dimitrius07]

I`am sorry - my English is not so good. :cry:

Ok, run my install - select your main sh3 gwx folder (example c:\Silent Hunter 3) press next and my program will do the neccesery job for you :D . From here read the readme file ;)

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice work here:up:

don't understand what you're trying to convey here......

[namika]

I'm using "my favourite dials mod with integrated orders" mod is there a way to enable yours and editing the menu file manually to put everything into the right position while keeping the dials mod?

[Dimitrius07]

Hello Steve. I simply tryed to give to a players choice ;) . I prefer the standart version, its all matter of "taste"

jimbuna

You don`t need a fresh install, thince my pogram don`t mess with anything that you allready have.

Affter the instalation you will open your JSGME and you will see 4 new folders

Yes - you need to do thise manually, (its not hard). The instructuions in the readme ;)

It makes the hull look a little smaller, like the point of view is higher. Probably an effect of having a *wider* view.:rotfl:

Dimitrius07, it wasn't meant to be a criticism, just an observation. It's a lot of hard work, I know, and both versions are cool.:sunny:

[Jimbuna]

yup it's definately your brain jim matey LOL ;):p

Yep....your probably right :lol:

Greetings to all :D once again

I finaly manage to understand and fix some little and annoying problem with the obs_mask wrong position.
Let me explain
In the original code - the sides of the redlight effect are made for a circle form of scope, but in our case the observation scope have a different forms. Acording to that all code position are need to be changed, and that what i did. Affter some retesting i manage to get thise results.

Thince most using Wider FOV version - i made some changes (see the picture)

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1325/fordanlisace2.jpg

The red mask edges are now reworked acording to a new sides of the main observation scope shape.
Some grafics on the right side are correct now
The scope now have a dynamic edges (fotoshop books for a noob are actually help some time :rotfl: ).
---------------------------
I will upload a update version as soon as i will clean the mess in my hard disc ;)

[Jimbuna]

Danke :up:

[lutzow]

Great work Dim !!! More excitating night sinkings!;)

When release? I'm waiting impatiently!

Greetz

[Dimitrius07]

I`am sorry for the delay, i have a hard time with my old hard disc, as soon as a finish with a data backup i will post the update version :D :up:

[Venatore]

Thankyou for fighting through on this mod. :up:

Ven.

[Alex]

clearly a must have ....thanks to all involved

That's my opinion as well ! :yep:

Congratulations ! :rock:

[Dimitrius07]

First post updated :yep: :up:

[lutzow]

YES:up: THANK YOU DIM!
So, your HD is alive;)

[Dimitrius07]

A simple note:

The update i just made its not only in Grafics but the code in menu_1024_768.ini was changed in order to bring the redmask in the right position ;) .

The instalation its not ordinary zip file ,it comes with instalation program, i made thise just to make your instalation a bit faster and eathyer. Its not a virus or something :D .
In any case if for some reason you don`t want to download the exe package i will made a standart additional instalation ;)

lutzow

offtopic
I bought a new sata 2 hard disc - game preformance (specialy in GWX ) are much better now :up: ;)

[TheDarkWraith]

In any case if for some reason you don`t want to download the exe package i will made a standart additional instalation ;)

that would be great! I'm sure most of us just need the TGAs and a little text file denoting what changes need to be made to the menu_1024_768.ini file. I can't just copy over mine because it's custom for my installation by me so I have to manually insert changes that I want.
Good job Dimitrius07! :up:

Thank you; Dimitrius. Even computer stupids-analphabets like me were able to install your mod and enjoy it. It works perfectly and now I have a nice observation periscope.

Thank you-and other modders- very much!!:up: :up:
