CapnScurvy informs me about wrong Depth guage (imperial and metric uses both the 260 m)
Here the corrected versions:

Enjoy it.

Awesomeness...looks great, thx. :)

P.s. I combined this mod with your compass-needle - part of this mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=130389&highlight=compass+heading+needle), and it works great.

IMO, it allows for greater accuracy, when setting out a new heading:

Thanks. I could only get this clarity drawing every line new. Two days in painting dials.
But i'm very satisfied with the solution. This ugly looking Hud dials has disturb me from the first day i bought SH4. I hoped so much that one of the graphical artist, who made the wunderful SH3 Dials, take care of SH4. But nothing. At last i have to do it myself.
Time to learn graphic hints for an old man. :cool:

Hi Hector,
here are your Highres German Dark Hud Dials (American side also Dark Huds)

Unfortunally the Depth Needles are painted dark grey. They can only be changed via the Menu1024...ini. A good task for some Menu1024 Gurus.

Wow. Those are fantastic jimimadrid. Thank you. :up:

As for the menu .ini, I can probably change the needle color.

The telegraph dials for the Batfish are black print on a white background and over top of that is a red lense. How difficult would it be to make a mod like that?

Let me ask around. The USS Drum guys may already have some close-up shots. They recently posted a bunch of interior shots at www.submarinemuseums.org (http://www.submarinemuseums.org).

I hope this fits your request.

You have to install this Mod first with JGSME and then add a line to menu_1024_768.ini with JTxE.

Download -> http://www.file-upload.net/download-944008/JTxE_Red_Telegraph.rar.html
(Filefront = http://files.filefront.com/JTxE+Red+Telegraphrar/;10838119;/fileinfo.html)

JTxE Download here -> http://home.arcor.de/jimimadrid/MiCasa/SH4/JTxE.exe

If you prefer to modify the menu_1024_768.ini manually then you have to change this line:

[G3F I51]

Thanks, Jimi! Two thumbs up! :up: :up: I hope that you didn't have to spend too much time on it.

I'll just modify the .ini file manually.

I noticed that the original MOT has a battery charging order, too. Would it be possible if we added that to the dial that we could map the option to toggle the battery charging button on and off in the menu bar? I know that you mainly do skins. This is just a hypothetical.

I found only a battery charge option through the ordersbar.cfg. I do not know how to implement this button through the menu_1024_768.ini, which would be necessary to add this order to the gauges.
No change for me - would need the help from menu1024_768 gurus.

PS: CapnScurvy noticed a fault in the german dials. The imperial and metric uses both the 260 m depth gauge. I have corrected this and added a download on the first post.

The american whites are GORGEOUS! The one thing that stops me from DLing them is the lack of a central bearing dial on the compass that I have grown so addicted to having. Also, there is something in RFB (I believe) that makes the dials VERY big, and 'explode' (as ussual) even bigger on mouseover. That is a blessing for me cause the original sizes, even though they enlarge as well, were not big enough to allow me the accuracy on the compass I desired.

All in all, this is absolutely superb! Amazing! Great work!

Regards,
Mr Sargyano

PS I love your greenlamp (with gold border) mod also! *sigh* I'm really going to have to 'adjust' RFB.

I have to apologize jimimadrid. If I EVER get these files downloaded they're going up on my Filefront page where they can be downloaded. Over 30 minutes and I haven't got a one. It refused to work at all with Firefox and it's busy pretending that it has intentions to work with Internet Destroyer. But no joy yet.

Another 30 minutes later.... Nope. Isn't going to work at all. I'll try again another day.

that clock is the chjronometer and you can push it off the screen out of site just leave something to grab to bring it back when needed.

if you darken it it might be hard to seen other times but its easy to do with any type of image editor because its just a plane old image file.
