[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[TheDarkWraith]

Always use your new version, but this time is in my opinion version 4.5.2 better.

1) Why does not version 4.8.0 with patch 2 automatically hide asi in version 4.5.2? This was great idea!

2) I do not need the free cameras options on the top. Please, it is possible to hide (or make a option) this option?

http://s4.postimage.org/lDu5S.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/17wvxunqc/)

4.8.0 with p2 looks like on board a modern submarine. Prefer to return to 4.5.2 wide automatically hidden options. Is that not great? Screenshot with 4.5.2-only two small yellow arrow on the top right (as an external perspective as well from inside the submarine:
http://s2.postimage.org/fmTYS.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/v71kxtt0/)


3) Always report this:

http://s4.postimage.org/lEPUJ.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/17yg64gis/)



Is that OK?

Thank you TDW for your answer.

1) as many users complained about the automatic scrolling of the items in the HUD I disabled them by default. You can restore them by simply editing the options file and changing all the below to True:

# Do the top right bars hide when you mouse out and show when you mouse in?
TopRightBarsScroll = False

# do the essential controls (depth, heading, etc.) hide when moused out and show when moused in?
EssentialControlsScroll = False

# does the messagebox show when moused in and hide when moused out?
MessageBoxScrolls = False

# do the order categories scroll down when moused out and scroll up when moused in?
# set to True to have the order categories scroll
# change below to either True or False
OrderCategoriesScroll = False

# do the officers scroll down when moused out and scroll up when moused in?
# change below to either True or False
OfficersScroll = False

2) I did not include a way to hide the camera bar located at the top. I'll include that as an option in next patch/update (new option will be CameraBarVisible and will default to True [visible])

3) Is normal. It's just warning you that if you exit straight to desktop you'll lose any ship's journal changes. In the next patch/version of the mod this text will ony be visible is you have selected a ship's journal at game start in the main menu (not None)

v4.8.0 with patch 2 is far superior to v4.5.2. You always want to use the latest version/patch of my mods.

Help guys please
Im trying to install the SH4 dials and crew icons from NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith and i just can't seem to get them to work.

I have followed the readme and altered the text in notepad to sh4style and everytime i enable the mod and go to my ship in dock nothing has changed.

ps does everyone keep their 'mod' folder within the ubisoft game folder?

pps do i copy the contents from the NewUIs_TDC_v4_8_0_patch_2 and overwrite part of the NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith? file?

to install the mod correctly take the MODS folder from the mod and copy it to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder (this is assuming that your MODS folder is at the following path: \Silent Hunter 5\MODS)

to apply the patch take the MODS folder from the patch and copy it to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder (this is assuming that your MODS folder is at the following path: \Silent Hunter 5\MODS). NOTE: requires the mod to be installed (not enabled) first

ok
1 so i create my collective 'MODS' folder and keep it inside the game folder?

2 i place all my downloaded mods in there?

3 i take the patch file, open it, copy and paste the MODS folder from within the patch.copy and paste it over my 'MODS' folder within my game correct?

4 this then will overwite some existing files in your original 4.8.0 mod.

when you install the JSGME app install it to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder.

1) when you first run the JSGME app it will ask you what you want the folder to be called. Leave it as default (MODS)

2) correct. Be sure that when you unzip the mods that they aren't a double folder architecture or see if they contain a MODS folder. If so you'll need to extract these folders and place in your \Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder.

3) correct

4) correct :up:

When you install a new mod you can tell if it's installed in the MODS folder correctly by:

\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\mod name\data

the key here is that the first folder after the mod name MUST be data!

what does double folder architecture mean wraith plaese???

ps i have now followed your info and have unzipped both the ui files... in the actual mod folder is 3 files= text, dials and mods. do i leave them in the parent folder and then place them into my mod folder? or just copy the mod folder in to my mod folder?

[TheDarkWraith]

what does double folder architecture mean wraith plaese???

mod name\mod sub name\data or

mod name\mod sub name\some other name\data

you want the last folder that contains the \data folder from any mod.

[TheDarkWraith]

Is it possible to make the course dial draggable - the one that shows after clicking the heading bar. It is showing just over my TAI.

it already is draggable. Go to the very top of the dial and scroll up just a little more. You'll see the mouse cursor change to 4 arrows. This denotes draggable. Left click and hold and drag where you want it. Release left mouse button.

[Capt Sinbad]

Darkwraith
im nearly there :DL just did all you said and checked out ingame and the dials appeared and icons...xcept that there was lot of blank white boxes too blocking the screen...any ideas?

either patch not applied correctly or options file corrupt. Did you edit the options file? If so, can you send it to me for review (via PM)?

only thing i changed in the script file was the use sh3style. i can delete the mod and patch and reinstall will that work?

thanks for your patience mate

Yes try just enabling the mod with no changes to the options file. This will help narrow down any possible problems.

Install the mod, patch it, and see what happens.

Great!:up:

[TheDarkWraith]

all the files I posted should have 4_8_2 as their version number.

if that all looks correct then just enable the core mod without the patch and see if it works.

[Capt Sinbad]

ok will do

[Capt Sinbad]

whites boxes again:damn:

[TheDarkWraith]

whites boxes again:damn:

the only other thing to try is redownloading the mod again from my filefront site. Don't download the patch. When you copy the MODS folder from the redownloaded mod to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder you should see about 23 mods available in your JSGME app when you open it up.

have already downloaded files again and yes i can see the other mods when i enable yours...i dont enable them though.

[TheDarkWraith]

and running the game as administrator doesn't work? What is your install path to Silent Hunter 5? Did you install it to your \program files (86) and you're using Vista or Win7?

Something else to try is disabling all mods with JSGME. Close down JSGME. Restart JSGME with admin rights.

[Capt Sinbad]

dont have admin running..dont know how to get it running.im using win xp. have removed all mods and started and restarted and uninstalled and reinstalled jsgme. dont worry thanks for spending this amount of your time tying to help me.

wouldnt have to mess like this if it wasnt such a bloody awful mess this game.

i will wait for your mega mod. hopefully that may make it worth playing

[flymar]

Sindbad, are you playing with shadows on? I've had a whit boxes on elements of UI while using full shadows and get to a surface with lots of ships and big waves.

yeh shadows are on..should i turn them to low and see if that works??

Well it worked for me. They are nasty anyway.

[TheDarkWraith]

can you post a screenshot of what you are referring to as white boxes?? I was assuming you were talking about something else but it appears you're not :hmmm:

[Capt Sinbad]

white boxes still appeared when i turn down shadows to low...the boxes are items in the game. they look like they should show info.

1 one of them is the mini map
2 says good aiming
3 says bad aiming.
4 exit station deck gun tutorial
5 lock the target
6 press any key..

actually this looks like a tutorial trying to appear on the game screen.
tried to do a printscreen but it doesnt seem to work. how do i do a screen print?

ctrl + F11 will cause the game to capture the screen and save in your \Silent Hunter 5 folder.

[TheDarkWraith]

the user account you're using with XP is it an admin account or limited user account? What is your install path for the Silent Hunter 5 game?

[Capt Sinbad]

there are no other accounts but mine.

the game is installed on c:/ubisoft/silent hunter etc

[TheDarkWraith]

your user account I understand is the only account but is it an admin account or a limited user type account? IF you're using XP then you need to be on an admin account or the game (with my mod) needs to be ran under a user account that has admin privileges.

[Capt Sinbad]

oh i see...how do i do that?

[Silent Steel]

Hi TDW and all the rest of you,
I see here it could all be a matter of possible misunderstanding.
1a. When you extract the downloaded NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith (which contains many other MODS) there is (amongst others) the MOD by the Dark Wraith we're talking about here. Namely: NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith
The structure of this MOD is:
NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data (plus several sub/folders)
Amongst these subfolder you'll find the new options file by TheDarkWraith called:
NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\scripts\menu \ TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py
This file (TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py) is where you can set all the options you want to do.
1b. Now - BEFORE copying the MOD into JSGME and/or applying this MOD you should paste the PATCH: NewUIs_TDC_v4_8_0_patch2.7z into the actual MOD: NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith
2a. Here I think is where the funny thing is -
In the patch NewUIs_TDC_v4_8_0_patch2.7z you'll find a new NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\scripts\menu \ TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py
I think this is where you should pay special attention, at least it was for me.
IF any settings have already been made in the \NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\scripts\men u\ TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py in the MOD itself these ones will be overwritten when you paste the PATCH over the MOD.
In my case I at first didn't realize or expect the PATCH to contain a new TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py so it was necessary for me to set my options once more.
Maybe this can be of any help. :hmmm:
All my best regards AND ALL my gratitude to TheDarkWraith for all the work, devotion and skill given to bringing us this enhanced value of playing SH-5! Simply awesome. :rock:

[TheDarkWraith]

In my case I at first didn't realize or expect the PATCH to contain a new TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py so it was necessary for me to set my options once more.

Did you use the included options migrater app to transfer your old options file to the new options file? I made it easy now to upgrade to new versions with this app because you don't have to edit the options file by hand anymore (except for the new additions to the options file and only if you want to change the default value)

Hi
No I did not.
In this message I was just referring to a case where someone doesn't use the migration tool like I did.
Btw, so far I've made just one try to use the migration tool but I didn't succeed so I simply entered my settings in the options.py (I doesn't take much time to do).
I'll try to use it properly next time, promise.

I just found it funny that when I first (in the MOD's .py) set the XO box to be draggable and then after applying the patch I noticed that it wasn't anymore... Embarrasing. :oops:

One thing that thought of:
For patches to come - Is it necessary to include another options.py in the patch? Isn't there a chance that others, like me, get confused and mess this up? :hmmm:

the reason why the options file is sometimes included in a patch is because it has changed from the base version. Now if I release another patch it has to be cumulative and therefore includes all changes from the prior patch(es). Thus is the reason why you see an options file in say patch 2,3, etc. I wrote the options migrater app to try and make the updating of the options file as painless as necessary. If it's not working correctly I need to know so I can fix it. What problems did you have with it?

[Capt Sinbad]

your user account I understand is the only account but is it an admin account or a limited user type account? IF you're using XP then you need to be on an admin account or the game (with my mod) needs to be ran under a user account that has admin privileges.

is there a way to make the mod work without admin priviliges? when my OS was installed no admin was added as far as i can tell

[TheDarkWraith]

The power of Automation still amazes me, and I made it :D With it, recursion, and my new tutorial addition you all will be able to make tutorials to explain/document/and inform.

Good morning (it's morning here in Sweden)
After writing yesterday I realized my question was totally unnecessary and a really stupid. :oops: (Sorry)
As for the migration tool I last night tried to use it once again and didn't have any whatsoever problems. Works like a charm.
The problems were completely due to a faulty handling on my behalf. :oops: (Sorry again)

Please excuse me for causing you this extra work!
I should have understood that (since I as always consider your MODS to be the most reliable around here) that I should have paid more attention to how I was using it myself. (Terrible, I'm feeling like an idiot)

Thanks again for your hard work, quick answers and support.

My very best regards :salute:

[ustahl]

Maybe this has been covered before, don't know, but this is what's bugging me:

For a lengthy time I've been using a modded keyboard layout, adjusted commands.cfg, keyboard_binds.dds and keyboard_binds_shift.dds (for F1 help) myself to my liking. This worked great until I started using TDW's UI mod. This mod seems to somehow overrule part of the settings in commands.cfg. Even when I apply the keyboard mod after TDW's UI mod I don't get my "private" keyboard settings back, at least part of them.
It seems TDW has set some keyboard settings in some .py file(s) that will not be overruled by a later installed commands.cfg. This results in discrepancy between F1 help displays and actual keyboard functions.

Is it feasable for a user to edit the appropriate .py file(s) to adjust to one's private preference/commands.cfg? If yes, where in in the .py's are the settings?
If this is not wise, where can I find all the keyboard settings fixed in TDW's UI mod, so I can adopt them into my F1 help files (and command.cfg) to work consistently?

You can change the file TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py can open notepad, look for the word Keys and change the letters

example

# if you wanted to enable this without shift required:
# MostFuelEfficientSpeedHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.M, False ]
#
# if you wanted to disable this:
# MostFuelEfficientSpeedHotKey = [ False, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.M, False ]
#
# Note: Keys.M is used by the Navigation Map in the stock game! It was used only as example here. Also the hotkey will only be recognized if the sub is surfaced
#
change here
MostFuelEfficientSpeedHotKey = [ False, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.M, False ] # change the M to whatever you want. You can't use M!

[ustahl]

Sasha, thank you. Have to dig into that. Will use ConTEXT, which seems better suited for editing .py files than Notepad.
Hopefully all commands hitherto contained in commands.cfg are contained in ...Options.py, we'll see. Obviously editing ...Options.py + adjusting the F1 help files is the only way to make everything consistent. Commands.cfg plays 2nd fiddle in this context, right?:hmmm:
TDW's migration tool will be even more valuable in future.

[SashaKA001]

Commands.cfg plays 2nd fiddle in this context, right?:hmmm:

Yes, but Commands.cfg can also be set up under him, I do not look at this help, because I myself have set up Commands.cfg:yeah:

[ustahl]

Yes, but Commands.cfg can also be set up under him, I do not look at this help, because I myself have set up Commands.cfg:yeah:
Hmm, I don't quite follow you here.:hmmm: I too have initially set up my Commands.cfg, and those graphical help files accordingly. Do you mean you know your commands so well you need not use those F1 help graphics?
With TDW's UI mod some of the old commands don't work any longer, like F5, F6, F7 for manning the deck & AA guns etc. Hopefully that can be fixed in ...Options.py.

I only need these commands: on pereskop depth. to surface, speed, target identification, fire. map. pereskop up and down, turning the rudders, weather, Chronometer, back to the courses, by the look, and yet what is the key and everything, and the 14 - 16 keys.

I know them by heart

[ustahl]

I know them by heart

OK, that's what I thought.:up:

[ustahl]

TDW, thanks a million for this mod, I refuse to play without it.:yeah:
There are, however, certain keyboard issues I would like solved or clarified.

With this mod enabled, is it possible to toggle Deck gun, Flak gun and crew management with function keys F5, F6 and F7 respectively? These earlier settings from Commands.cfg seem defunct now.:hmm2:

I took a look at TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py to make relevant changes there, but Line 18 says:

# F1-F11 functions keys are unavailable even though MenuKeyManagerWrapper says they are available. Do not try to use F1-F11.

This sort of stunned me. Acc. to that line keys F1-F11 are unusable. Nevertheless keys F1-F4 do work (help, boat, nav map, conning tower), and that's how it should be. But why not the rest? Consistency? I want to key toggle Deck gun, Flak gun etc. Are keys F5-F11 intentionally meant to be dead & useless? Or is there a way to make them available?:hmmm:

Are all other keys (except function keys) supposed to work exactly as set in Commands.cfg, like before?
I have a feeling that this UI mod somehow "overrules" some of the key commands set in Commands.cfg, even if the keyboard mod with Commands.cfg is added after this UI mod. It seems some commands are determined by Commands.cfg and other by the UI mod. Is there a rule?:06:

I have touched this issue in some other postings, but haven't got to the bottom of it yet. TDW, can you pls shed some light on this?:sunny:

You can find those buttons in Commands.cfg if they are registered there then it should work. if not then there is nothing to change these.

Hey TDW couldn't read all these posts but the patches how do you install. When I did it overwrites the original version 4.8.0 is this how it's supposed to be?

[ustahl]

You can find those buttons in Commands.cfg if they are registered there then it should work. if not then there is nothing to change these.

Sasha, thanks for trying to help.:)
Yes, I know those key commands are in Commands.cfg, my settings are exactly the same as the ones shown by you. But F5, F6, F7 etc don't work now. Before I installed TDW's UI mod they worked fine (toggle gun etc.), but with TDW's UI mod installed nothing happens. :damn:

[ustahl]

Hey TDW couldn't read all these posts but the patches how do you install. When I did it overwrites the original version 4.8.0 is this how it's supposed to be?

I'm not TDW (wish I was:arrgh!:), but yes, the patches overwrite some files of the original mod, one file being the ...Options.py file with all the personal settings. Thus one is well advised to migrate one's personal mod settings into ...Options.py contained in the patch (piece of cake with the migrating tool).:salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

TDW, thanks a million for this mod, I refuse to play without it.:yeah:
There are, however, certain keyboard issues I would like solved or clarified.

With this mod enabled, is it possible to toggle Deck gun, Flak gun and crew management with function keys F5, F6 and F7 respectively? These earlier settings from Commands.cfg seem defunct now.:hmm2:

I took a look at TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py to make relevant changes there, but Line 18 says:

# F1-F11 functions keys are unavailable even though MenuKeyManagerWrapper says they are available. Do not try to use F1-F11.

You cannot assign keys F1-F12 as hot keys in the user options file. Game will not recognize them as valid keys. That being said I do nothing with those keys. If they are not working then something else is wrong. All the game's default values for those function keys work fine for me (using v4.9.0 of the mod)

You are so right!:know::up: Thank you for opening my eyes! I can see clearly now... :o:ahoy:
In my misunderstanding I thought the F1-F12 limitation would also impact the game's default values (Commands.cfg), and, as some function keys' behaviour indeed had changed for me, that confused me.:oops: I did not realize that the F1-F12 restriction was limited to the Options.py file only.:oops: I feel really stupid now, having sort of barked at the wrong tree, sorry.:oops::88)

I went back to make certain changes in Commands.cfg, and, voilá, I got my lately defunct function keys working again.:woot::sunny:

if you're asking then there's others that would like it also. It's very simple for me to add so it's no big deal. It should've been there anyways as the whole reason for the options file is so that the end user can tailor the game to the way the want to see/play it.

actually finishing up the new tutorial feature and expanding Automation. There are some major changes to Automation happening. Since I've added tutorials I've seen the need for sub categories in categories for Automation. Thus all Automation scripts will have to be updated to the new format or they will be unusable. I hate making drastic changes like this but had to in order to add the tutorial feature. The new format now also forces use to include a description with your script.

You'll find a new column just to the right of categories in Automation: sub categories.

[TheDarkWraith]

Here is a screenshot of the newly updated Automation screen and the tutorial in action:

I understand, that all desires to satisfy not probably. They fall on you as a snow clod. How many people, are so much and opinions. And, as is known, there is no limit to perfection! He is yours Mega-Mod and you know is better than it should be completed for correct work.
The sin to complain. You have done grandiose work. Thanks!

[TheDarkWraith]

As v4.9.0 brings some major changes to Automation with the addition of tutorials, I've put together some docs to help those who have made scripts for Automation migrate them to the v4.9.0 format. Any Automation scripts made prior to v4.9.0 will NOT work with it until they are upgraded to the new format. I hate doing major changes like this but because of the new tutorial feature it has to be done.

You will also find docs on the new tutorial feature and it's available commands and how to make script files for it.

I should have v4.9.0 released here soon :|\\

http://www.filefront.com/17464895/TDW-Automation-Update-Docs.7z/

If you have questions regarding migrating your old scripts to the new format please post them here in this thread.

[TheDarkWraith]

Only one more thing to add to v4.9.0 and it will be ready for release. Looks like it will be releasing today :DL What I have to add is a new item in the main menu of the game at game start. The new item will be 'Tutorial'. When clicked it will show all the tutorials available and will let you select the one you want to use. When a tutorial is selected it will show which single mission you should choose for use with the tutorial under the 'Tutorial' entry in the main menu (like I did with the Ships Journal). I haven't found a way to 'launch' a single mission from code yet.

Here is the change log for v4.9.0 as of now:

v4.9.0 - added a new user option that controls the visibility of the camera bar. The default value is enabled (True) (CameraBarVisible)
- the warning text about exiting to windows will only be visible if the selected ship's journal at game start isn't None
- the Navigator reports icons Maximum range, Time to course end, and Range to course end now are only available if your sub has waypoints on the map (they will be greyed out and unavailable when you have no waypoints)
- the Navigator reports icon Maximum range is not available when submerged (it will be greyed out and unavailable when you are submerged)
- added a new user option that controls the visibility of the Nomograph on the navigation map at game start. Default value is enabled (True) (NomographVisibleOnNavMap)
- upgraded Automation to include a sub-categories column. This change results in all scripts made for Automation to be revamped to new format! See \data\Automation\TDW_Automation.txt for format info
- added tutorials to Automation. End user can now define tutorials to be used in Automation. Tutorials are to be placed in the \data\Tutorials folder. See \data\Tutorials\TDW_Tutorial.txt for available commands and format info
- added a new button to the top left of the Navigation map that controls the visibility of the Nomograph on the navigation map

[ustahl]

Hi TDW,

The Nomograph now becoming a selectable item in the UI, can the same be made for the flag (your Subflag mod)?
I'd like to show the flag in or near port but strip it on high seas.

[PL_Andrev]

Only one more thing to add to v4.9.0...

Hello TDW,

At months ago in PMs I told you idea and math calculations for finding position by target with no visual conditions (only with the hydro operator).

Is possibile to add this order to automation process in 4.9.0?

Hi TDW!

Sorry if this subject seems too "newbeeish" or if it has been discussed somewhere here, but this topic is huge and i have not had the time to go through all of it!

I am using SH3 dials interface and manual targeting. My question is: how do I bring the stadimeter on with your MOD? I've just finished the first all germany patrol (docking pending) and i have not been able to find out how to use it. I adjust range manually based on estimated distances measured on the map but the stadimeter never shows.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

JC

to use the stadimeter you have to open the XO TDC dialog box and click on the highlighted range value in it. When that opens up you can select use stadimeter. Be sure to select the correct ship in the recognition manual first so that the correct mast height is set before using the stadimeter or the range reading will be incorrect.

Your problem may be a mod conflict or the mods were improperly installed in sequence. I had a similar problem when I failed to install another mod properly.

At the moment I'm testing with only TDW UI activated via JSGME- all other mods seems to work fine for me - but TDW UI seems to be the most important :)

What the heck can cause a conflict if there is only one single mod activated ? I went even further reinstalling all game - I'm starting to think about one of the Vista magic skills in duplicating exe and ini files at the moment...

But unfortunately I dont feel so confident with this system as i felt with XP.

You either have a type error or conflicting settings in the Options file.

Also, make sure you are not mapping keys in your Commands.cfg that are being mapped in the options file.

[Silent Steel]

You either have a type error or conflicting settings in the Options file.

Also, make sure you are not mapping keys in your Commands.cfg that are being mapped in the options file.

I agree with theBeast

I had this issue but after following some pieces of advice from TDW it was solved.

First I replaced the Options.py file with an unedited one and patched it with the NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_Patch ByTheDarkWraith (I just copied the "data"folder in the patch and pasted it in the NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith.
Then I set my Options.py
Make sure you don't make any changes to any of the "scroll" options.
You can do this in a few minutes.

Secondly I removed all MODS (JSGME) and then applied them one after another checking the effect and found that one or two of the MODS caused this.
(Don't rember which ones ) but it's worth checking

I think this is most likely to be caused by conflicting MODS :hmmm:

(My OS is Windows7 64 and my GPU is ATI 975)

are you patched to v1.2 of the game? Run your game updater to ensure you have the latest official patch from Ubi installed (gu.exe)

Thank You mates for support !

Problem solved - no more white windows !
Next installation to a new renamed SH5 folder together with installing/enabling only key mod found to be the wright solution.

99 % for some kind of mods conflict - however for me its still hard to believe that inactive mods residing in mods folder could do such a mess...

[TheDarkWraith]

Greetings from Brazil! I'm currently just outside of Rio De Janiero on work (rough isn't it? :O:). Much better weather here than back home that's for sure :DL

v4.9.0 is now complete. I need to discuss some things about the main menu screen now:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3222

As you can see there is a new Tutorial button in the main menu. Clicking that button will display a list of all tutorials found in \data\Tutorials. One caveat to this: in order for the tutorial to show up in the list above (on the right hand side) it must have an exact filename match (minus extension) in \data\Automation. The names shown in the list are the title part of the tutorial. For example:

I included a tutorial named '\data\Tutorials\How_to_use_tutorial.SHT'. In order for this tutorial to show up in the tutorial list I had to make an Automation file for it: \data\Automation\How_to_use_tutorial.SHA. Note: It is recommended that the automation file for the tutorial include just one command: the command to play the associated tutorial (for those wishing to be selected from the main menu)

Now a tutorial file does not have to have an exact name match in \data\Automation to be usable. But if you want to be able to select the tutorial from the main menu it does.

Tutorials can be included in Automation files as commands. For example:

[AS]
Dummy use of tutorials
[DESCRIPTION]
Testing purposes
[DESCRIPTION_END]
[CATEGORY]
Tutorials
[SUBCATEGORY]
How-tos
[COMMANDS]
Set_Time_Compression,1,0,0,0,0,0,0 ; set time compression to 1 and wait 1 second before next command
Rise_whole_obs_periscope,0,0,0,0,0,0,6
Play_tutorial,0,0,some_tutorial_1,0,0,0,0
Activate_Scope_Station,1,0,0,0,0,0,0 ; activate the UZO scope
Sweep_Scope,1,0,360,120.0,0,0,1 ; sweep the scope from 0 to 360 in 30 seconds. Next command will be issued after sweep is finished
Lower_whole_obs_periscope,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Leave_Scope_Station,1,0,0,0,0,0,0
Play_tutorial,0,0,some_tutorial_2,0,0,0,0
[COMMANDS_END]

the above is completely legal and allows you to be creative in your scripts.

The names shown in the list to the right come from the [TITLE] header of the tutorial file. For example (from How_to_use_tutorial.SHT):

; title is a single line entry only!
[TITLE]
How to use Automation's new tutorial feature
[TITLE_END]
; can be blank, i.e. nothing between the header tags, at which case no tooltip will be displayed
[DESCRIPTION]
Describes how to use the new Automation tutorial feature
[DESCRIPTION_END]
; specify SH5Enhanced, SH3Style, SH4Style, or Any
[UISTYLE]
Any
[UISTYLE_END]
; single line entry only! Specify Any for any single mission
[HISTORICMISSION]
Any
[HISTORICMISSION_END]

The tooltip text for the tutorial's title box comes from the [DESCRIPTION] header.

The name of the currently selected tutorial is found under the Tutorial menu item in the main menu. The text in parenthesis after the currently selected tutorial is the historic mission name (which comes from the [HISTORICMISSION] header) recommended to be used with this tutorial. Any signifies any historic mission will do. The historic mission name should be pulled from the associated historic mission's .tsr file:

[Text]
MissionTitle=this name is to be used for the HISTORICMISSION header in the tutorial files.

I've included two tutorials with the mod: How_to_use_tutorial.SHT (which is a tutorial on how to use the new tutorial feature) and Basic_sub_handling-depth_control.SHT (which describes basic sub handling - depth control). From these you all should be able to figure out how to make your own tutorials and I hope to see new tutorials from you all very soon! :yep:

Finally you can specify a UI style that this tutorial is to be used with. This is specified in the [UISTYLE] header of the tutorial file. Specify Any for any UI style.

I'll be packaging up v4.9.0 for release here very soon :D

[TheDarkWraith]

v4.9.0 released. See post #1 for details.

The new tutorial feature allows you all to make some very power tutorials. I'm hoping to see some of these powerful tutorials from you all very soon :yep: My included ones show some of the power that this new feature has.

Thank's for your mod.
We are many, many, to have this message when whe activate this mod (in a french forum). And then it is difficult to find some boat, because we have always this message.
I see in this forum that you say we had to be in .net framework 3.5.
I am in windows 7, .net framework 3.5 is integrated, but it is necessary to activate him.
I activated .net framework 3.5, and i install the new .net framework 4.0.
I allways have this message.
Have you some idea about this problem.

I need to know the exact message you see in the message box when this happens. A screenshot would be best :yep: I would like to have a copy of your ship's journal for this also.

Also I would like you to set the user option ShowContactsActualSpeed to True. When it shows the contact's actual speed in the messagebox I would like a screenshot of that also.

I think I know what the problem is (European way of showing the decimal symbol - ',' vice American way - '.') but need to see screenshots to be sure.

Hi TDC!
I am upgrading from 4.8.0 with patch 2 to 4.9.0. Could you explain in detail how to use the OptionsMigrater app to migrate the old options file to the new one?
Thanks and best regards,
JC

Here's how one should use the app:

1. download new version of mod and unzip to desktop
2. disable old mod via JSGME
3. Open the OptionsMigrater app
4. Select File-->Open old options file and point it to the old options file
5. Select File-->Open new options file and point it to the new options file (located where you unzipped it on desktop)
6. Select File-->Migrate
7. Select File-->Exit
8. copy MODS folder from new version of mod to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder (thus overwriting previous version)
9. Enable via JSGME :DL

[TheDarkWraith]

anyone have any recommendations for new commands for the new tutorial feature? I've come across 3 while making a 'how to successfully torpedo attack merchants' tutorial:
- WaitMIVisible. This command will cause the tutorial to wait until the menu item specified is the specified visibility (0 = hidden, 1 = visible).
- SetMIVisibility. This command will set the associated menu item's visibility to the specified visibility (0 = hidden, 1 = visible)
- SetMICheckState. This command will set the associated menu item's check state (0 = not checked, 1 = checked)

These will be included in patch 1 for v4.9.0.

I'm also making Automation scripts able to call other automation scripts. Should be available in patch 1 for v4.9.0 also.

Any recommendations/suggestions/criticism/etc. is always welcomed :yep:

anyone have any recommendations for new commands for the new tutorial feature?

I am going to have a go at tutorials this weekend and will report:salute:

I'm also making Automation scripts able to call other automation scripts

Can you explain this please? Does it mean there can be auto within auto?

[Olzeen]

tdw??...you make my day...(night):yeah::salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

Can you explain this please? Does it mean there can be auto within auto?

I guess if you look at it this way then yes, that would be the case.

I'm thinking the command is going to be PlayAutomationScript and one of the parameters is going to be the name of the automation script to start (play).

I'm also looking into adding globals and some very crude conditional tests (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=, and possibly a goto style command) so that some form of branching can be implemented in the automation scripts.

Looking forward to some tutorials from you Trevally :up: If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask :yep:

Hi again TDC!
After installing 490 i get this menu screen:
http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/jc_alonso/SHV_NewUIs490.jpg
Clicking on the options (Clear, Apply,OK, Yes, No) has no effect whatsoever and if I try to continue or start a campaign, after a little time loading I get a CrashToDesktop (incompatibility between MODS perhaps?).
Here are the MODS I have activated:

start game with admin rights (right click SH5 icon, select RunAs-->Administrator). Where did you install SH5 to? Program Files? What OS are you using? How did you install the new version? Did you overwrite the exisitng version or did you first delete the existing version then copy the new version's MODS folder to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder? Did you edit the options file?

[stoppro]

I got the same exact screen and i have sh5 running as admin and i removed 270 and installed this version. I did edit the options file.sh5 is installed C/ubisoft

I have downloaded 4.9.0, but do not get the Tutorial info at the SH5 opening screen. Where is this 'OptionsMigrater' app that we are asked to open so this mod upgrade can be operational? Appreciate all the work you have given to this mod. Any help would be appreciated.

For those of you getting 'white boxes' or experiencing problems with the mod I need you to enable something so that any python errors will be displayed onscreen. Please edit your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg to look like below:

Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes

save the changes made and restart the game. When it asks you if you want to start the menu editor say no. Now if there's a problem the game will display a dialog box onscreen to you denoting what the problem is. I'll need to know the information in that dialog box.

When I open the main screen of SH5, I am unable to get any kind of mention of 'tutorial.' I have downloaded the 4.9.0 version of Multiple UIs and unpacked it with my zip file manager, transfered it to SH5 mod file through JGME, but still no luck finding anything about tutorials when I get to the main screen where I choose the type of game I want to open (new campaign, load saved game, historical, etc). What do you suggest?

I had the same thing happen after editing TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file. The problem went away when I deleted and replaced that file.

After fixing the problem, I started making my options edits again one by one. The cause of the problem turned out to be bad formatting on my part when setting up a hotkey.

This is what I did wrong: [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.0, False ] for the Number Zero key.

This is the correct way: [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key0, False ]
Just like it says in the instructions at the top of the file. :oops:

[TheDarkWraith]

Hi TDC!
After doing what you suggested in your post this is the error message i got:
http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/jc_alonso/errormessage1.jpg

looking into this reveals that either you have edited your options file incorrectly and corrupted it or incorrect versions of files are mixed in the mod. Those are the only ways you can get this error.

Update on patch 1:

v4.9.1 - added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the hotkey for an item defined in the options file to be displayed in the tutorial box
- majority of the tutorial commands have had a wait time parameter added that allows user to specify time to wait until next command is issued. See
\data\Tutorials\TDW_Tutorial.txt for more information
- fixed bug of when the tutorial 'Stop' button is pressed there was a possibility of a 'Wait' timer still timing out before user was able to start
tutorial again by pressing 'Play' button
- fixed bugs in tutorial documentation (\data\Tutorials\TDW_Tutorial.txt)
- added new commands to the tutorial feature that allow user to control visibility of menu items (and pages)
- added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows user to control the checkstate of menu items
- added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the tutorial to wait indefinitely until a certain menu item or page is the specified visibility

I'll probably release patch 1 as the above mentioned items here soon.

[Trevally.]

Your adding some good commands here:up:

Can you add one for pausing and TC control?

Also, would there be anyway to add a pic to the text box, Im thing for demonstrating charting techniques.

good ideas. Will do.

I'm also giving the new tutorial feature the ability to call ANY automation command specified in \data\Automation\TDW_Automation.txt. This greatly extends it's power.

Added the commands wait until station activated/deactivated (scopes) and ExecuteAutomationCommand (for running any automation command)

I REALLY like the picture box idea. I will implement :yeah: Just have to figure out the correct way to do it.

[stoppro]

I have decided not to use 490. I don't use automation or tutorials at least not yet. so I would like to know if there is a way to remove the nav map nomograph from the older versions that I have [270 and 290]. thank you. these versions of the ui are perfect for the way I am playing right now.

So far I have the one with 3 still ships in front (sm20).

Thanks Smelikatt and TDC!

A corrupted Options file seems to have been the cause of the problem. I decompressed and reinstalled your MOD from zero and everything seems to be working fine now.

Even though you do not use Automation or tutorials you can still use 4.9.0. There's no reason to downgrade to an earlier version. Every new version fixes errors or bugs in previous versions and might add new features. The options migrater will not work on pre v4.8.0 options files also.

[stoppro]

Ok I'll reload it in again and try to fing out what i did wrong in the options file thanks

[TheDarkWraith]

patch 1 just about complete for v4.9.0. This patch entails:

v4.9.1 - added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the hotkey for an item defined in the options file to be displayed in the tutorial box
- majority of the tutorial commands have had a wait time parameter added that allows user to specify time to wait until next command is issued. See

- added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the tutorial to wait indefinitely until a certain menu item or page is the specified
visibility
- added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the tutorial to wait indefinitely until a certain menu item is a certain checked state
- added a new command to the turorial feature that allows the tutorial to execute ANY Automation command in data\Automation\TDW_Automation.txt or in
\data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
- added a new command to the tutorial feature that allows the tutorial to wait indefinitely until a certain station is a specified state (enabled or
disabled). i.e.: you can specify to wait until the attack periscope has been enabled/disabled. See \data\Tutorials\TDW_Tutorial.txt for list of stations available

@ Trevally: the idea about being able to add pictures I'm still working on. What's probably going to happen is I'll have the game create a new window that will display 'outside' of the game (afterall it's a new window). This new window will allow the user to resize it by dragging the corners just like you can do with practically any window in Windows. This new window will display the picture via a .NET picturebox control. The picturebox control can display many different picture formats and thus is the perfect candidate for this :yep: Once I finish this then patch 1 will be complete and ready to release. For pausing and TC control use the ExecuteAutomationCommand command with parameter3 set as Automation's Set_Time_Compression command.

[TheDarkWraith]

adding this picture to the tutorial is a little trickier than expected. Thus I'm going to go ahead and release patch 1 as is. When I figure out the picture thing I'll release another patch.

v4.9.0 Patch 1 released. See post #1 for details :|\\

Don't forget to use the options migrater app to migrate old options to new options file (I made some changes to the options file also in this patch).

There is a new tutorial included that details the new commands added to the tutorial feature in this patch.

It can be plugged? Otherwise the crew of freighters observe the wake after the antenna...

[TheDarkWraith]

just figured out how to change menu item textures dynamically :rock: This means I can add images to the tutorial feature now :D Trevally your idea will become reality here soon.

This also means that one could make 'skins' for the UI and let the user switch 'skins' on the fly. Very cool.

[ustahl]

I love the CameraBar!:/\\k:
In particular I love the "Activate free camera" command (2nd from left). It is very versatile and greatly enhances visual immersion. :yeah: However, I have 2 suggestions/questions:

1. Is there a way to attach this "Activate free camera" command also to a keyboard command key for even faster use? Having fiddled around with Commands.cfg somewhat, I'm not sure this particular camera view is available there, or is it? Or would a key fixture require an alteration in options.py? Feasible? :06:

2. When available/visible, the camerabar shows as a thin white line slightly beneath the top screen edge. Could this white line be moved upwards 1-2 mm to hide behind the screen edge and work similarly to the officersbar and other completely hiding toolbars? This might be a tidier option. :|\\

[TheDarkWraith]

@ Trevally: what size of images are you looking at? I'm looking for a default value to set the tutorial image menu item. You'll be able to resize it by dragging the corners of the image and also by a tutorial command. The image format is going to be .dds or .tga only with NO alpha channel.

[PL_Andrev]

TDW,

Since SH2/DC we have specified weather conditions for singleplayer and multiplayer missions. But the player must know the difference between different weather, f. e. day/night, foggy day or not, windy day or not.

Could you think that you can put the weather/time controller to each single/multi mission like on the picture or before mission starts?

Not very big, say about 50% of the tutorial window.

If like the tutorial window it was draggable, users could organise on the screen to allow reading whilst studying the picture at the size they want.

If this could also be saved to remeber placement:up:

Thanks m8!

re 2.: I don't think people would 'forget' such a goody even if it would be made a hidden dragable because of its position opposite the (likewise hideable) officerbar. Why not make it an option in options.py for the sake of aestethics. People who choose to hide it would know where its hidden.;)

Any recommendations for new commands/features for Automation or the new tutorial feature?

I have been getting the feel for the tutorial commands but I have a question,

" If x != 0 then a 'Wait' command will be issued with a time of x."

Im assuming this is just as it sounds - enter any number for seconds to wait in the para x and thus removing the need for the wait command.
But what does the "!" stand for?


At the moment I am making some single missions for use with sensors etc (still reading the tutotial by Kylania on how to do this:oops:)

I have been getting the feel for the tutorial commands but I have a question,

" If x != 0 then a 'Wait' command will be issued with a time of x."

Im assuming this is just as it sounds - enter any number for seconds to wait in the para x and thus removing the need for the wait command.
But what does the "!" stand for?

sorry, I guess that would be confusing to those who aren't familiar with programming in C++, C#, or Python. The expression 'x != 0' translates to:
if x does not equal 0

This does indeed remove the need for the wait command :yep:

[TheDarkWraith]

why there is this file? answer please.

it has the revised clipboard made by naights in it. I was using this at one time when in the scope views I had the clipboard showing (it used to slide out of view at the right bottom of the screen)

[THE_MASK]

Would it be possible to have some sort of UI to select diffrent filters for the game on the fly . Like filters for black and white , sepia , diffrent saturation , etc . Maybe with sliders . It would be a way for noobs to adjust the shader paramaters . Thats a whole folder that isnt touched atm .

[TheDarkWraith]

TDW,

Since SH2/DC we have specified weather conditions for singleplayer and multiplayer missions. But the player must know the difference between different weather, f. e. day/night, foggy day or not, windy day or not.

Could you think that you can put the weather/time controller to each single/multi mission like on the picture or before mission starts?

now this was one challenge I couldn't back away from. From first view of it I thought that this was going to be impossible to do......but I was wrong! Through some very clever coding and even more clever problem solving I was able to find the single mission picked, extract the name of the single mission and the date (I can extract anything from the selected single mission). Here's a little debug window showing me what single mission I clicked below:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3239

now through testing I've found that the single missions are dynamically generated in this page. So it appears that I should be able to pull this idea of Antar's off :yep:

I now might be able to select the single mission for the tutorial picked (if one was picked in main menu) and automatically start it...we'll see how this one goes.

what version of the UIs mod are you using? What version of the IO map mod are you using? For the buttons to not be working in the top left there is a version/file conflict somewhere.

I changed the Page navigation map.ini file and thus until Obelix releases a new version to be compatible with v4.9.3 you can't use the IO map mod.

That square is supposed to be the map border. So this is definitely a file conflict that's giving a Python error.

Good (well not good but you know what I mean :DL). Just making sure I didn't overlook something and I was the cause of the error/bug

Absolutely. Previous IO map mod is not compatible with v4.9.3 :)
Download the new IO map mod for the current version. (see thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1532931#post1532931))

[Silent Steel]

I had the same problem with these IO map mods. (NewUIs_TDC_4_8_0_TheDarkWraith)
The one I found out to be the bad guy was the "IO_MapCourseLine_sharp pencil_mod"
After disabling this one the square was gone ;)
Besides, I didn't have those problems with not working buttons though.
I'll try this again today whith your new MOD. Downloading as we speak.
Thanks again TDW

ok trying to finish this feature of v5.0.0 up but don't know the max values for each of these and what exactly each of these are:

Fog=0 ;easy enough fog state. What is range of values? 0-?
FogRand=0 ;fog randomness. What is range of values? 0-?
Clouds=1 ;cloud cover. What is range of values? 0-?
CloudsRand=1 ;cloud cover randomness. What is range of values? 0-?

WeatherRndInterval=5 ; not exactly sure that this is. What is range of values? 0-?
SeaType=0 ;not exactly what this is. What is range of values? 0-?

[Echolot]

Fog=0 ;easy enough fog state. What is range of values? 0-? 3 (none, light, medium, heavy)

Clouds=1 ;cloud cover. What is range of values? 0-? 2 (clear, calm, cloudy)

WindSpeed=5.000000 ;what is max wind speed? 15

WeatherRndInterval=5 ; not exactly sure that this is. What is range of values? 0-? 5 to 96 (hours for weather changes)

SeaType=0 ;not exactly what this is. What is range of values? 0-? 0 to 3 (seatypes in seaparameters.cfg)


The Random-Options i will check in missionseditor. Post it later.

Gruss.

Edit: The randoms 0 to 2. :salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

ok the mission settings UI has been completed:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3243

Here's how it works:

when you click on a mission it gathers all the information it needs from the mission's files. It updates the mission settings box but the box isn't visible yet. Once you mouse into 'Start' the mission settings box appears for you to make any changes you want. When you're finished with the changes you click 'Apply changes'. Then click 'Start' and enjoy your changed mission.
If you click on another mission or mouse into 'Back' the mission settings box will hide.
You click on the value of the entry to change it. Those that require keyboard entry will display an edit box for you to type a value into. Those that don't require use entry will scroll through available values with each click on the value.

[Obelix]

Hi TheDarkWraith!
Here (http://sukhoi.ru/forum/showpost.php?p=1495636&postcount=295) is new rus translate for your mod v4.9.3

[PL_Andrev]

Looks good!
:yeah:

It is this same rule for select conditions at multiplayer missions?

Weather conditions:
#1:
It looks that SeaType parameters is always 0.
Probably this value is connected with SH3 (Atlantic/Polar/Middleterrain) - now the mission's locaton depends from environmental data...
I check all missions (single and multi) and all 'SeaType' were 0.

#2:
Precipitations are existed when heavy cloud is selected.

#3:
Is possible to put "default" and "random" buttons?

#4:
Good options is show when the sun rises/sets but I have completely no idea how to check it - it can be depended form time (summer/winter) and uboat's location (polar/equator)...

[Obelix]

Hi TheDarkWraith!
There was a problem with the definition of the type of vessel. In the messagebox given here is (see screenshot). Suspected Russian menu.txt but the problem was not in it. Because of what can this be?

You can change the sea type now with this UI. Valid ranges are 0-3.

I'm going to add a random button. The discard changes button is the default button.

looks like an error in data\Roster\Names.cfg to me. That or the ship targeted is missing a name and thus the game was using it's class instead. Any idea what the ship type would be in the English version of the game?

[Obelix]

Apparently it is. Once this problem is not with me as a user on a sukhoi.ru. He using only two mods:
Environmental MOD 4.5 and Multiple UIs for SH5 4.9.3
Game is lokalization from Buka.
I sent him another file names.cfg. Wait, that he would respond.
I myself like I did not notice, there is simply no time to play, trying to build mod.:DL

[TheDarkWraith]

added tooltips and random button to mission settings UI:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3245

if you click the random button then it will select random values for ALL settings. The above is a screenshot from a press of the random button. :|\\

[PL_Andrev]

#1:

That is true, but "SeaType" is SH3 relic and does not effect in game.
Previously SeaType control different environments (different color for sea), but now sea color is selected by climatezones.cfg.
I check SeaType 0 and 2 and no effect in game.


#2:
Precipitations are existed when heavy cloud is selected.
Don't understand

Precipitations (rain) are only available when 'heavy clouds' condition is selected.
No rain effect for 'no clouds' or 'light clouds'.
So, if player/random function chooses precipitations = 1 (light) or = 2 (heavy), the heavy clouds should be automatically selected.


#3:
Maybe good option is wind selected with precision 'point one number' ?
X.X no X.XXXXXX

[Obelix]

Hi TheDarkWraith
Replacing the file names.cfg has not changed result. Established English names.cfg from the original game - the same result.

for #2 it's been coded in :up:
for #3 it will stay that way as the mission files use 6 decimal places also

added some checkmarks that let the end user decide which items can be randomized. Also added the title of the mission to the title of the mission settings box:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3246

just a little more work to do on it and then v5.0.0 will be ready.

[PL_Andrev]

for #3 it will stay that way as the mission files use 6 decimal places also

1. Look, I have no problem with it but it looks very... hmmm... funny and 'not professional'. There are no phisical difference between force 14.999998, 14.999999 or 15.000000 - this value may be rounded to one decimal place for better view.
14.999998 = 15.0
If you select depth with 15 meters is not important if few millimetres or centimetres will be less or more, isn't it?
But the rounded value looks much better.

2. Did you do this weather controller for multiplayer mission too?

3. How the weather controller works? The original parameters of weather conditions are permanently overwrited or stays without changes at some 'safe location'?
It means: original wind is 5, you select & apply 10. After next game and select this mission again is the wind still 5 (original) or 10 (previously edited)?

It's not a controller. It's just code editing files to make this 'magic'

see below


http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3247

when you select 'Historic Missions' from the main menu the game will check to see if the folder \data\SingleMissions_Backup exists or not. If it doesn't it creates the folder and backs up all the single mission .misge files to it.

I added two new buttons to the mission settings box: Backup mission and Restore mission. Backup mission will backup the selected mission's .misge file to the backup folder. Restore mission will restore the selected mission's .misge file from the backup folder.

Apply changes takes the current changes you have made and writes them to the selected mission's .misge file (thus they will persist across game starts). Discard changes reads the settings from the selected mission's .misge file and updates the mission settings box.

See the difference between Apply changes and Backup mission?

If not then take this example:

You want to do the PQ-17 historic mission. You make changes to the mission settings. Now in order for them to 'show up' in game you have to click Apply changes. You click start and do your mission. You exit mission. Now you're back at main menu screen. You didn't like the changes you made and you want the original settings back. Click on Historic Missions. Select the PQ-17 mission. Mouse into Start to show the mission settings box. Click on Restore mission to restore settings from back up.

[PL_Andrev]

It looks... absolutely perfect, man!
:yeah:

Last comment:
Delete please the 'sea type' - this parameter does not effect to game.

"SeaType" is SH3 relic and does not effect in game.
Previously in SH3 SeaType controls different environments (different color for sea), but now in SH5 sea color is controlled by climatezones.cfg file.
I check SeaType 0 and 2 and no effect in game.

Hi TDW

I have been testing with the tutorial, making sure I know where items are and called etc.
At the moment I am looking at maneuvering and so far I have from PageDefaultHud_BottomBarHeading:-

Return to course.
Toggle mode button.
Heading.
Heading bar.
Heading toggle.

But I can't find the compass or rudder. Are the on a different page?

Hi Swordfish

When TDW updated to v4.9.3 all auto scripts needed to be upgraded.
Please see here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174400) for my updated v0.2 that will now work.

You must un-install v0.1 first. You can also try my harbour pilot scripts by clicking on my sig:up:

I've updated Krauters scripts and will release them on his behalf (for compatibility with v5.0.0) here shortly.

I had an idea hit me last night as I was laying in bed: hotkeys for Automation scripts. What I'm talking about is the ability to assign hotkeys to say 2-4 scripts. You could assign these hotkeys to those scripts which you use the most. Might even make it able to assign the script to the hotkey via the Automation panel. Thoughts? :06:

Beware this game does not take over your life:haha:

I think this is a great idea:up: I use auto scripts a lot and this would make is easier during those panicky moments.

To set hotkeys in the automation pannel, I think would be better for most users. Could there also be a way to warn you if that key is already in use.

Hi TDW

A question about tutorials.
If I "SetCheckState|1|0|PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBa rHeading_HeadingToggle|1"
and the user had already clicked that toggle. Would the the button remain active?

[TheDarkWraith]

Hi TDW

A question about tutorials.
If I "SetCheckState|1|0|PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBa rHeading_HeadingToggle|1"
and the user had already clicked that toggle. Would the the button remain active?

Yes. If a checkbox in the game is already checked and you ask the game to check it again it will ignore it (nothing happens). It won't even call the event handler for it (because it didn't change state)

[TheDarkWraith]

added hotkeys to Automation. You can now select 4 scripts to hotkeys. The hotkeys are defined in the user options file. In the screenshot below I set automation's hotkey1 to X with no shift required:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=305&pictureid=3255

To set a hotkey for Automation:
- (before game start) edit the user options file and set the hotkey wanted to True (enabled) and set the key wanted for it. You can also make the hotkey have a SHIFT key requirement if so wanted
- (during game) from the list of activated scripts you select a script (background solid black)
- (during game) click on the hotkey you want associated with the script selected above

To remove a hotkey from Automation (set it to None):
- ensure no scripts are selected in the Activated scripts box
- click on the hotkey you want set to None (nothing)

To activate the script just press the hotkey! Each press of the hotkey will start the script associated with the hotkey. Thus is the script is half-way through and you press the hotkey again it will restart from the beginning.

I'll be releasing v5.1.0 with this feature here in a few :|\\

Hi there,

TDW, you are truly a god at this game modding business.

First off, I want to say thank you for not letting my Mod die and have everyone forget it.

Secondly, I want to apologize for all those who got to first use it and gave me feedback (which is still being looked at!). The Mod, at least on a developmental standpoint is on hiatus until I get back to a computer that can handle Sh5.

Thank you TDW again for keeping this Mod in the present and at least still kicking until I can get back to it and release some updates and new features.

Cheers,

Krauter
