Cool! Take a bow NefariousKoel (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=211644)!

No more hunting for, "that key"

Cheers,

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

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]

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? :)

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]

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

[leovampire]

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]

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]

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

[NefariousKoel]

It's okay, I just finished fixing the classic style with green lamp mod. It uses the RFB style buttons. :rock: Uploading now after I revise the ReadMe.

[NefariousKoel]

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

for me anyway, all i really wanted was a big change in the color of the button so you didnt have to guess if it was on or not. the grey buttons do that very well but they are too dark for me. can you brighten it more so you can see the button icon better or maybe darken the icon itself. i dont have good eyesight and reading glasses dont work well on monitor.

NefariousKoel made a classic style orders bar with a green lamp mod. Check the first post and the last link ;)

[NefariousKoel]

Yeah, my version has the green lamp mod in it.

I have a newer version with a couple changed button graphics in the Nav tabe (the range to end and est. range at curr. speed). I had somehow managed to reference the wrong graphics than I had intended there.

I'll upload the fix before long. In the meantime, the "Classic" bar includes the wonderful green button mod so get that one.:yep:

[swdw]

Under the periscope tab you have the button for raising / lowering the obs scope.
However, you don't have the raise / lower attack scope button. Instead there is a go to attack map button.

If this is intentional, please ignore this. If not, just wanted to bring this your attention.

[LukeFF]

A couple of other things I've noticed as well:
There is no "Identify Target" button on the bridge menu.
For the "Follow Nearest Warship Contact" and "Normal Sweep" buttons, the tooltip text doesn't pop up.
For those of us who run at higher resolutions, it would be nice to have a "Weather Report" button that is enabled when surfaced and disabled when submerged.

[ustahl]

Would be happy if you could make a version (or two) for the v1.5 Addon (U-Boat Missions) for use with the Fleetboats mainly.:D

I compared OdersBar.cfg from your original mod with that of the Addon, and decided not to try to rework the file myself - too much hassle, unsure what to change etc. I noticed though that for instance all references to hud.tga must be altered as hud.tga resides in different folder(s) in the Addon compared to v1.4.

It would be nice to have an option with stock buttons.;) Or would that be Misfit138's job?:hmm:

Hope you have the Addon, so you know how to rework the mod.:know:

[jimimadrid]

ustahl,
have you tried this?? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=131625

You will be able to design your own Hud Menu buttons.

[Ducimus]

Necro alert.....

but....

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=131625

I need to try this!

[ustahl]

Sieht ja interessant aus - muss ich halt mal ausprobieren.
= Looks interesting - must give it a try.

[ustahl]

It was easy to customize the orderbar to look and work to my liking.:smug:

Thanks jimimadrid for your great little tool! It works great.:rock:
Besten Dank nochmals.

[vinceor]

Having a problem with this mod. The game locks up after the loading screen and doesn't go to the main menu. An error message popped up saying:

"File not found: HUD.tga"

I am sailing with the 1.5 upgrade and this is currently the only mod, except for the German sound mod .

Nice stuff.

Please look in Mods\MyMenu\Data\Menu\cfg\Orderbars.cfg if there is an line that shows to HUD.tga.
1.5 should only be "data/menu/Skins/American/gui/layout/hud.tga"

Or please send me the Mods\MyMenu\Data\Menu\cfg\Orderbars.cfg.

Ahh... my sweaterpuppies sig.

It got axed here due to the gentler sex asking me to remove it at Subsim. :lol:

And, no, I still haven't got the add-on. Sorry guys, just don't like Direct2Drive.. I'll have to order the gold edition it seems.
