[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[volodya61]

Where is the download link for 7.4? :oops:

:o

It's not released yet.. be patient and stay tuned :D

[Fifi]

:o

It's not released yet.. be patient and stay tuned :D

Okay! :haha:
Thought it was already out! lol

[TheDarkWraith]

I was thinking of a more basic graphic implementation of it. For instance something like this:

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/726/usercharts.jpg

Have it coded in (no radio buttons though - checkboxes) :D Testing it now.

Just have to revise the DLL code for possibility of multiple user charts files.

[TheDarkWraith]

ok all that works perfectly. Now just have to update the DLL code to handle multiple user chart files.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6627

this window is pretty cool in how it works :D The top is the title bar and where you put your mouse to drag the window anywhere on screen. The total left side of the user charts window can be grabbed with the mouse and expanded to the left in case you have long names in it.

Below that are all the categories read in from the files. Notice the small round button. Clicking it will expand/contract only the section it is in. Pretty cool :D You can only have one category checked at a time. Each time you click a category the bottom section will either fill in with all the available charts for that category or clear out to nothing (category not checked). When the game starts the 'Default' category is automatically selected.

Below the categories box are the charts box. When a category is checked all of it's charts are listed here. Check a chart to display it. Uncheck to hide.

Switching categories does not uncheck the charts already enabled for the previous category. You have to manually uncheck them yourself.

Clicking the charts icon will either show everything that is currently enabled or hide everything.

Revised UserCharts file:

; User Charts
; Category= the category where the chart will fall under (can be anything!) - if left blank will default to Default category
; Name= specifies the name to be shown in the charts listbox
; Filename= name of the DDS file of the chart (including .dds extension!) - user charts can ONLY be DDS files!
; Size= if you specify -1 then the DLL will get the size needed (width and/or height) from the image itself else you can specify custom size for the chart (image)
; Position= specifies the position on screen relative to upper left corner of game screen
; Draggable= valid values are 1 (yes) or 0 (no). If a 1 then you will be able to drag the chart anywhere on screen
; ToolTip= the tooltip displayed when the mouse is placed over the visible chart (image)
; max number of charts that can be defined is 20. Anything after 20 will be ignored!
; [ENDCHARTS] must be the last line in the file!

[Chart]
Category=
Name=Flags
Filename=FlagChart.dds
Size=-1,-1
Position=20,20
Draggable=1
ToolTip=Flag chart

[Chart]

Name=Shipping (colored)

Draggable=1
ToolTip=Colored shipping chart


[Chart]

Category=Speed conversions
Name=Knots in meters per minute
Filename=TabelleMin_English.dds

Draggable=1
ToolTip=conversion chart for knots in meters per minute

:rock:

I have been thinking of a funcional way to accomodate chart categories with individual chart cfg files. So far, these are the possible options that I thought of:

- defining some preset categories within a common cfg file, that individual chart cfg files should refer to.

- even better, making the game to parse all the available categories in chart cfg files. Indeed, there should be a maximum number of categories possible. If this limit is exceeded, all the categories in excess would be grouped in a preset super-category. In order to do it, you should device a category sorting system though.

EDIT: sorry, I see that you have already taken care of it: your wits is faster than my typing skills :doh:

[TheDarkWraith]

Yes it's an ingenious system I have devised :yep:

Multiplie chart files can exist in \data\UserCharts. The only stipulation is the beginning of the filename MUST start with UserChart and the extension must be .TDW. For example these are all valid chart filenames:

UserChart_Default.TDW
UserChart_Shipping.TDW
UserChart_Speed_conversions.TDW

The DLL will read in all the UserChartx's found and compile them into one master list and create the categories and charts from them.

A quick question about the ship's journal:
- where are the entries stocked?
- how to delete the whole current journal? (in main screen, we can select/create new journal but not delete it - ie to start over a new one with same name)

Currently the journals are kept in \Silent Hunter 5\Logs.

Just go to the logs folder and delete the journal if you want to start over.

In case you didn't know there is an app located in \data\Applications for editing/viewing the journal outside of the game (Ships Journal Viewer-Editor)

v7.4.0 released. See post #1

v7.4.0 - removed the polling for the DestroyedMarks.
- in process of rewriting destroyed marks code (and developing patch for it). Destroyed marks are no longer saved to ship's journal. At game start the mod will read the destroyed marks from the campaign file and add them to the map. During a game session if a unit is destroyed the Game will add it's own destroyed mark for it (until I'm done rewriting the DestroyedMarks code and patch)
- added all strings needed by my Generic Patcher to all the menu files for the mod
- redid how the charts are done. Now when user clicks the Charts icon in the low right upper bar a list box will be shown will all available user charts defined. By clicking the checkbox for each user chart defined you will control their visibility. Mousing over a user chart that is enabled will cause it to jump to the front (visibility). User charts are defined in the file \data\UserCharts\UserCharts.TDW (open with Notepad).
- added a new user option that controls whether follow selected target offset is reset to 0 when you lock onto a new contact. Default value is True. Can be found under the Follow target tab (FollowSelectedTargetOffsetResetOnNewLockedContact )
- added a new user option that controls whether the categories section of the UserCharts window starts expanded or not at Game start. Default value is False. Can be found under the Charts tab (UserChartsCategoriesStartExpanded)
- added a new user option that controls whether the charts section of the UserCharts window starts expanded or not at Game start. Default value is False. Can be found under the Charts tab (UserChartsChartsStartExpanded)

I get this error on game load with the new ui version .

[TheDarkWraith]

I get this error on game load with the new ui version .

copy the mods TDWFileUtils.dll and TDWUtils.dll files to the generic patchers. You let the generic patcher overwrite those files (via JSGME). They are new versions in this version of the mod and are not compatible with the ones in the current version of the Generic Patcher.

[Fifi]

You let the generic patcher overwrite those files (via JSGME).

And for generic patcher stand alone users? (not using JSGME for patcher)

On other hand at first glance, the destroyed marks aren't still appearing on map...
Guess i'll have to turn around as i did before by deleting your data/menu/gui/units/destroyed ships (blank square)?

EDIT: i delete the whole units folder, and have my stock destroyed marks again...

v7.4.0 released. See post #1

Thanks for the new version :salute:

Probably you forgot about this :06: :wah: -

Hi TDW :salute:

Always wanted to ask but forgot every time, now after a short break returned to the game and remembered :)
Is it possible to set impact detonators as default in the next version? Maybe via OptionsEditorFileViewer? Because now magnetic detonators are by default and so many torpedoes been lost by premature detonation in the rough seas..
Thank you
You want the magnetic detonators switched off as default? Should be fairly easy to do if that's what you're looking for. I could make a user option for it.

Russian menu.txt has not changed since v 6.9.0...

One more thing :)

I already gave you the Russian menu.txt files for version 7.2.0, probably you didn't find them now, it was more than half year ago :D
I just noticed in the new version (v7.3.0) is very outdated Russian menu.txt..
Here are two files (regular and for RealNav) - http://rghost.ru/45422454
These files already edited for compatibility with the wolfpack patch..

Sadly we´ll never see a Beaufort 12 in this game....

[gap]

Sadly we´ll never see a Beaufort 12 in this game....

I am positive on this point. Unless TDW puts himself at work on it :D we can't make the game to generate stronger winds than 15 m/s, but we can make the effects of a 15 m/s wind to resamble Beaufort 12. :03:

The hardest part would be to tweak ship physics in order to make them to handle realistically the huge waves. Hard, but not impossible imo.

[volodya61]

Guys, do you often faced in reality with the 12th-ballroom storm or the 12th-ballroom earthquake?

[gap]

Guys, do you often faced in reality with the 12th-ballroom storm or the 12th-ballroom earthquake?

The game limit of 15 m/s corresponds to force 7 winds, but most of the wave mods available mimic slightly stronger winds. I haven't ever been in North Atlantic, but I guess that though not being the rule, gales and, to a lesser extent, storms (Brt. 8 to 10) would be a relatively common evenience during the winter months. Have a look at the pilot charts available from this site:

Have some troubles with version 7.4 journal :hmm2:

I want to use the journal only with my notes writen on it day by day...
But each game load, this button is always activated allowing all message box text to be writen in the journal. Is there a way to make the NewUIs remember to not activate it?

http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_695107Journal.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=695107Journal.jpg)

Also, have trouble for journal to follow each new day coming.
It stays always on last day i made notes in it, and doesn't want to update new day/date!...even clicking on bottom arrows and/or on up right date (nothing happens)
So only way for me to give journal right date, is to activate again the button showed on my screenshot above, ask any officer whatever order (this way order is writen in journal at the right date) and clic the arrow again to move the journal page at the right date :-?

EDIT:
Forget my above questions...i've found out how to make NewUIs remember the buttons settings (it's via the fileviewer - tab ship journal!)
And strangely, after deactivating/reactivating my mods, i'm able again to get the good journal's date...arrows are working now...go figure!
Maybe we finally have too many mods activated! (71...)

Did you start a new campaign? Disable NewUIs_TDC_7_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith mod now to figure out what went wrong.

For all future mods, read all support documentation first and open up folder structures first.

A good possibility of why it did not work is double mod folders. That is why you have to check the folder structure. NewUIs_TDC_7_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith has optional mods. Other modders due this, too.

Check the documentation or support folders for all readme.txts, too. Some authors may not have given a unique name to their readme.txt file and may be overwritten by a mod following it., should be called modname readme.txt for example.

Dear friend, thank you very much for time you are giving me!
Nothing to do.... When I'm playing (through uplay, launching game with the usual icon sh5, my version is 1.2) the mod simply does not exist!
1) I have put JSGME in the main folder of the game (c:\ubisoft\silent hunter) and it has created the folder MODS (not existing before) 2) In this folder I have imported the decompressed file of the mod, named MODS and which contains the mod and other 12 accessory mods. With JSGME i have enabled only the principal mod (as recomended by the author) 3) regarding your suggestion: i have no of this c:\silent hunter 5\mods\modname\data\ , in the directory "mods" i have only the 13 folders of the mods and a 1kb file of JSGME.... Help!
I ask you another different question: when I'm playing campaign it's impossible to modify realism (set at 38% by default), this also if I make a new campaign and setting a different realism before starting mission or campaign. The problem is not present in historical mission. That's very disappointing!

Hi TDW,
In version 7-4-0 of file TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py at ligne 1227 i find :

1227 WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet = True

I think there is a possible typo error, i was expecting :

1227 WatchOfficerCheckForContactsOnTCxSet = True

I don't know if it has any influence at all, but I think it was worth mentioning it to your attention.

On another point, the "time compression" block, begining line 694 is a little bit confusing, as variables set to value and variables mentioned in the comments aren't really matching.

This sounds especially funny to me, because in Italian the term "contanti" means "cash". I just hope that our WO is not accepting cash bribes from the enemy, with TDW's complicity :O:

A little confused .
So you can have 20 UserChart TDW files . For every TDW file you can have 20 DDS files ? So 400 DDS files max ?


maxim in 20 :( i tested with more charts and only 20 of them will show i think we must ask TDW to let us to put more charts :)

See below guys, please :-?


- how difficult would be increaing the limit of 16 custom charts?

Would require a new rev of the mod as too many things would need to be changed. I increased the limit to 20.

If i enable follow nearest contact or nearest warship contact from the officers panel while submerged and then forget to click on normal sweep . When i am surfaced there is no way to turn the nearest contact or nearest warship contact off unless i submerge again .

Don't understand. I'm able to select normal sweep when I'm surfaced :hmmm:

On other hand at first glance, the destroyed marks aren't still appearing on map...

Fixed in new version (7.4.1)

Russian menu.txt has not changed since v 6.9.0...

I added what you sent me in v7.4.0. If it's incorrect send me the files again :up:

Max # of charts you can define is now set to 50 in v7.4.1. That's 50 total for the game.

Seem to be having a little issue, if i add NewUIs_TDC_7_3_0_jimimadrids_map_tools to my mods list then i loose my Depth gauge from the UI. As soon as i remove the map tools then it comes back, just wanted to know if anyone might have a workaround for this?

Fixed in new version (7.4.1)

Hi TDW,
In version 7-4-0 of file TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py at ligne 1227 i find :

1227 WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet = True

I think there is a possible typo error, i was expecting :

1227 WatchOfficerCheckForContactsOnTCxSet = True

I don't know if it has any influence at all, but I think it was worth mentioning it to your attention.

Fixed in new version (7.4.1). Had no impact on gameplay as it was just a typo that was echoed into every file that needed it.




v7.4.1 released. See post #1

v7.4.1 - fixed bug of depth scales not rendering when using the add-on mod Jimmimadrid's map tools
- inceased the number of user charts that user can define from 20 to 50
- fixed typo errors in names in TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file (had no impact on gameplay or functionality)
- fixed bug of stock air and ship destroyed icons not displaying on map when a ship or aircraft is destroyed (still rewriting the destroyed marks code and DLL needed for it)
- fixed bug in TDWUserCharts.dll that could cause an exception to be thrown if a user chart was defined as not draggable

Thank you :salute:
What about this issue -

Hi TDW :salute:

Always wanted to ask but forgot every time, now after a short break returned to the game and remembered :)
Is it possible to set impact detonators as default in the next version? Maybe via OptionsEditorFileViewer? Because now magnetic detonators are by default and so many torpedoes been lost by premature detonation in the rough seas..
Thank you
You want the magnetic detonators switched off as default? Should be fairly easy to do if that's what you're looking for. I could make a user option for it.

Then for each entry place the mouse in the entry's value and use the mousewheel to change the value.

Run the DbgView app found in \data\Applications before starting the game. My UIs mod will list all DLLs it finds. Post that list and I can tell you what you're missing.

What are you mousing into that is causing the error?

I would try deleting all the Pagex_Draggables.TDW files in your \Silent Hunter 5 folder first.

Time to revisit a feature some of you probably don't know even exists: Scope filters.

:doh: Why do you want to revisit this awesome feature, if i may ask?
Don't see how you can make it better than best :haha:

[TheDarkWraith]

Not changing it, just pointing it out because it appeared some users didn't know it existed and/or how to use it :up:

[Fifi]

Ah, ok!
Thinking about it, only minor thing would be to get those filters only for observation scope, and not for attack one (not sure about what was reality, but to me only observation scope could be night filters equiped - correct me if wrong)
Anyway, i just avoid to enable filters for attack scope in NewUIs to force me to use the obs one! :D

Little question: what exactly do the "night filter" feature in the fileviewer?

[TheDarkWraith]

As you are probably aware the old destroyed marks was flawed because I was unable to retrieve the exact position where the unit was destroyed. This resulted in destroyed marks showing in odd places on the map. Starting in v7.4.1 I disabled the destroyed marks (new destroyed marks in game only) until I could code in something to make it work correctly.

Today I finally coded in the hardest part of the new destroyed marks code. Now I get all the data related to the destroyed unit:

[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Unit_Destroyed command received!
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Destroyed unit data:
[18692]
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Ship destroyed event
[18692]
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Destroyed mark #0:
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: ClassName=LL
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Name=LL
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: UnitType=102
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: eSide=1
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Year=1
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Month=1
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Day=1
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Longitude=-7814609.000000
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Depth=-5.330906
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Lattitude=2184462.000000
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Tonnage=7173
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: FromNode=
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: PatrolGroupName=
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Type=_BR Large Merchant (ProxY)#1
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: GMTTime=1/1/0001
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: Text=_BR Large Merchant (ProxY)#1
[18692] Depth: -5.3m
[18692] Enemy
[18692] 7173 tons
[18692] TDWDestroyedMarks: LatLong=Lat: 18° 12' N Long: 65° 7' W

The Text= will change. I have to take the data I have and send some of it to a function in SimData to get the unit's name. That return value will be the Text= then.

As you can see I get a lot of data now about the destroyed unit. This will let me fix the radio messages and sounds for the destroyed units also. The Year, Month, Day, and GMTTime are incorrect also because I was just testing and this is not the final version (I have the gamedate and gamehour and just have to convert them into a readable format).

when the game first started a placed an X where the unit was originally. As you can see the coordinates (LatLong) given are exactly where the unit was destroyed:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6668

Now I just have to code in placing the appropriate destroyed mark (land, air, sea, or sub) on the map

:rock:

:up: So many features :haha:

[TheDarkWraith]

Test version 7.5.0 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?t55adiec9sgv0za

This test version is testing the new destroyed marks code. The mod will be able to show destroyed marks for land, sea, air, and submarine units. The destroyed mark will show the date the unit was killed, the unit's name (i.e. Liberty Cargo), whether it was enemy, neutral, or friendly, tonnage, latitude and longitude and some other items that aren't coming to me currently.

In order to test this you need this test version and minimum v1.0.107.0 of my Generic Patcher with the new Destroyed Marks patch enabled for the SH5.exe.

What you are testing:
- game does not CTD when unit is destroyed
- a proper destroyed mark is placed on the nav map (air, land, sea, or submarine)
- destroyed marks are shown on the nav map when the unit is destroyed for both single missions and campaigns
- for campaigns: when you load a campaign that had units destroyed the destroyed units are shown properly on the nav map (if you have never used my Generic Patcher then this will not work - you simply just need to run my Generic Patcher for this to be enabled)
- when you mouse into the destroyed mark a box is shown with all the pertinent data for the destroyed unit
- the destroyed mark is placed in the correct position on the nav map (exactly where the unit was destroyed)

Your anti-virus software may complain about the TDWDestroyedMarks.dll. I have to read/write process memory for this to work and thus some anti-virus software will not like some of the code it sees in that file.

Test will begin very soon :yeah:
Great, but i guess game will remember those marks each save/load?

[TheDarkWraith]

Test will begin very soon :yeah:

In campaign only. Campaign writes all destroyed units to a file in the campaign folder. The mod reads this file to build the destroyed units when in a campaign game. If you have ever used my Generic Patcher then it has automatically updated your SH5.exe to fix the problem with the writing of the destroyed units to this file. It has also added some new entries to each destroyed unit in this file.

In single mission games the mod will display the destroyed units but they will not be saved.

I'm coding in the ability to show all destroyed marks, only current game session's destroyed marks, or none. There will be some kind of UI for this. I might even add the ability to show destroyed marks by type (i.e. land, air, sea, or submarine).

I'm also thinking about color coding the destroyed marks to side of unit: i.e. blue for friendly, red for enemy, green for neutral. I'll make user options if I do this so that you can define the color of each one.

Any other ideas let me know :up:

I think it's a good idea, sub-campaign or game session or none.. as for marks by type, maybe it's not needed because not much other targets than sea targets :hmm2:

I'm also thinking about color coding the destroyed marks to side of unit: i.e. blue for friendly, red for enemy, green for neutral. I'll make user options if I do this so that you can define the color of each one.

These colors (blue, green, red) already present in the game, and the other colors filter is not necessary.. I think so :)

Any other ideas let me know :up:

Yes, sir :salute:

I think he is talking about his own NewUIs destroyed marks (different from stock) because for the moment they all appear in red color :03:

I tested new patch and new NewUIs with destroyed marks ---> perfect!
Has to test new destroyed marks in campaign now :up:

[Fifi]

Found a minor bug with destroyed marks...
Had a single mission where i destroyed 3 ships (all DM fine) and then loaded my ongoing campaign (in bunker) ---> the 3 DM of single mission were there! :hmmm:
Had to exit game, reload campaign save in bunker, and they disappeared...

So when destroying boats in single mission, best is to exit game before loading campaign :yep:

[divingbluefrog]

It is a minor annoyance I didn't point out, but as there is a new version in test, may I ask that the Nav Map Options window to be a little bit shorter in height?
With my screen resolution (1366*768) I can't see what I suppose to be the last entrance.

[TheDarkWraith]

I think he is talking about his own NewUIs destroyed marks (different from stock) because for the moment they all appear in red color :03:

yes, that is correct. Since I have control of what is being placed on the map in regards to the destroyed marks I can control what they look like and what color they are.

Other report :oops:

DM are not kept/remembered in campaign each save/exit game/load...
They are displaying very fine on exact place of sinking, but even with my journal enabled in main screen, and exiting game with journal saving ---> marks disappeared next load :hmm2:

On side note, when the window ask me for journal saves, DM aren't present with check box anymore. Only journal entries/supermarks/navmarks...

Guys, I think there was a little language misunderstanding.. I was talking about colors which already present in the game and not about marks themselves.. so, no need to choose other colors if these colors were already chosen..

On side note, when the window ask me for journal saves, DM aren't present with check box anymore. Only journal entries/supermarks/navmarks...

The problem with DMs not being removed at game end has been fixed.

The problem above was caused probably because while in game you clicked Escape and selected load game? If so, then yes it's a valid problem and I totally overlooked this. I have corrected this also .

The window for journal saves will not have DMs present anymore. The game saves all destroyed unit's to a file in the campaign folder thus I don't need to save them to the ship's journal anymore (and since the Generic Patcher fixed the problem with the saving of those destroyed units to the file I can use the file!)

[volodya61]

This error pops up at the destruction's point (first test, single mission) -

Lines in Russian:
Destination of a call generated an exception.
Overflow as a result of the arithmetic operation.

After that no destroyed marks at all..

I've added some error handling code to the function in the DLL to catch this now :up:

At the moment when the ship is transferred to the destroyed category..

Instead of making that window smaller I made the whole left side of the window draggable. That way you can drag it up and down to view everything:

v7.5.0 Test version 2 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?pbjafcr5j7h7xwi

This test version is testing the new destroyed marks code. The mod will be able to show destroyed marks for land, sea, air, and submarine units. The destroyed mark will show the date the unit was killed, the unit's name (i.e. Liberty Cargo), whether it was enemy, neutral, or friendly, tonnage, latitude and longitude and some other items that aren't coming to me currently.

In order to test this you need this test version and minimum v1.0.107.0 of my Generic Patcher with the new Destroyed Marks patch enabled for the SH5.exe.

What you are testing:
- game does not CTD when unit is destroyed
- a proper destroyed mark is placed on the nav map (air, land, sea, or submarine)
- destroyed marks are shown on the nav map when the unit is destroyed for both single missions and campaigns
- for campaigns: when you load a campaign that had units destroyed the destroyed units are shown properly on the nav map (if you have never used my Generic Patcher then this will not work - you simply just need to run my Generic Patcher for this to be enabled)
- when you mouse into the destroyed mark a box is shown with all the pertinent data for the destroyed unit
- the destroyed mark is placed in the correct position on the nav map (exactly where the unit was destroyed)

Your anti-virus software may complain about the TDWDestroyedMarks.dll. I have to read/write process memory for this to work and thus some anti-virus software will not like some of the code it sees in that file.

Run the DbgView app found in \data\Applications before starting the game. If you encounter any errors/bugs please save the DbgView output and post it along with what the error/bug was.

I've fixed all the errors reported so far and made the NavMap features window's whole left side draggable so those users with small screen resolutions can drag the window up/down.

[volodya61]

v7.5.0 Test version 2 available here:

I have noticed New UIs have keys modified for automation, independent engine controls, etc., etc. I modify the commands.cfg or add new key commands because I use voice recognition, too. I try to not to override any other commands.cfg file from all mods as much as, and whenever possible.

Is it possible to add another new option to the OptionsEditor someday. Create an easy to read text output of all the keyboard shortcuts created in the ***.py files.

:o crap!

WARNING: those using this damned UPLAY ---> launcher has changed (1 hour update :down:) and now unable to play offline...even when settings are offline... get a nice window thanking me to play for 0 seconds!!!:Kaleun_Mad:

[divingbluefrog]

Hard work in progress as I can see. :up:
I got the /!\ logo for TDW this morning too, disapeared after some time...

@TDW : ty for the new draggable side of the NavMap Features window, elegant :yeah:

I have two questions I don't know really where they should be asked, so :
1)Is it normal that I don't ear any specific sound from my Weapon Officier when I order to man the deck Gun?
2) what must I do to remove the manification in my scopes' views?

@Fifi : just got the same pb, first time you play on line, you save, you exit Uplay(nible:03:). You restart Uplay again, you change the settings to "go offline at start", you exit. You restart, you wait a little that it does whatever it needs, and then you will be able to access the game. Took me a 1/2 h to figure that out.

[TheDarkWraith]

1) I never hear anything from him either
2) don't understand. Screenshot?

[divingbluefrog]

The "X1.5" and "X6" on the left of the scope, just above the reticules.

[TheDarkWraith]

The "X1.5" and "X6" on the left of the scope, just above the reticules.

There's really no easy way to do it. The way I would do it is:

In the Page attack periscope.py file in the StartGame method add the following code:
Pageattackperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapFromAnch or.OffsetX = -500
Pageattackperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapFromAnch or.SetDependentPosition()
Pageattackperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapChildZon es()

In the Page obs periscope.py file in the StartGame method add the following code:
Pageobsperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapFromAnchor. OffsetX = -500
Pageobsperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapFromAnchor. SetDependentPosition()
Pageobsperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.SnapChildZones( )

That should do the trick :up: If it doesn't then try this:

Pageattackperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.Visible = False
Pageobsperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom.Visible = False

I hate this stuff.

Thanks TDW! PM done :up:

[divingbluefrog]

Arggggllll! Don't tell me I will regret the menu_1024_768.ini file :D
Try that right now.

OK, Pageattackperiscope_Markinglines_Zoom deals with the vertical and horizontal lines of the pseudo stadimeter.
Something like Pageattackperiscope_Magnification_Zoom or Pageattackperiscope_Zoom should exist.

[volodya61]

gap's destroyed sub icon looks good :up:

Land targets I don't think are in the game yet :cool: I just went ahead and setup everything so that once they are available everything is in place for them

Now it was again a similar pop-up error screen in the single mission, like this - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2064073&postcount=10139

DbgView was not running, so I will try to replicate this after the rest..

[Fifi]

Ok, now that SH5 is working fine again, new report:

- DM are displaying very fine either single or campaign

- DM aren't still saved in my campaign :nope:
(can't figure out why - maybe something missing in my game?)

- each time i attack a convoy, when i lock and clic for identifying boat (among others) ---> CTD :doh:

[TheDarkWraith]

- DM aren't still saved in my campaign :nope:
(can't figure out why - maybe something missing in my game?)

go to your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\x folder. Inside it you'll find a file called DestroyedUnits.ini. Are there any [Unit_x] entries in any of the files? Look at the DateTimeStamp for the file to find the career you were just playing. If the file has no [Unit_x] entries then my mod is working correctly - it didn't find any destroyed units to read in.

What does the DbgView output say? :06:

[Fifi]

If the file has no [Unit_x] entries then my mod is working correctly

I found a unit entry...so it's not working correctly?

Here is what i found in the folder you pointed me:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_622349destroyedunits.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=622349destroyedunits.jpg)
And this is the last ship i sinked in my career (the convoy), wich icon didn't come back next reload :hmmm:

:oops: I don't usally run the debug while playing...and now it's too late for this boat to do it...
Ok, next one, i'll sink it with the debug activated :up:
Will not take that long hopefully!

[Fifi]

:o...where is the save game folder supposed to be (path)?

Think i'm going to reinstall...

Edit: ah sorry didn't see your previous post...

[Fifi]

ok when you're done and have played a campaign mission and destroyed a unit save the game. Exit to windows desktop. Restart game. Go back into campaign. See if destroyed mark(s) reappear.

and the data from the ReplayInfo.rep file:

savename=First mission
savemissionname=EAUX C.TI.RES
saveuserprofile=Oscar Schultze

because the two savemissionname's don't match my TDWDestroyedMarks.dll was saying it couldn't find save game folder. The names don't match because one is Unicode and one is ASCII. I have an idea to fix it though :hmmm:

[TheDarkWraith]

a little bit wrong :), your Win doesn't support Cyrillic too..

So, your last fix is not suitable for Cyrillic :hmm2:

EDIT: forgot to say, after this errors (and complete exit) I'm able to load the game again without any errors..

[TheDarkWraith]

Started new campaign, skipped tutorial, so I must reload the game after the first appearance in the bunker.. tried.. this error -
Debug output - http://rghost.ru/46358809

This will stop the error from happening: http://www.mediafire.com/?amuqtalzjbc7p1b

I have to figure out why when retrieving your user path it's garbage :hmmm:

Disable UIs mod test version
place in my UIs mod test version's main folder and let it overwrite the old one
Re-enable UIs mod test version
restart campaign game :up:

Everyone who's language uses special characters (those with accents and stuff) will need this until I release a new test version.

OMG! So it's just a typo issue :o
I suppose it's from one of my french translation mod (not made by me though)

Thank you very much for fixing this :yeah:
Will test your fix very soon!

EDIT: might be a stupid question, but...if i open all the french trad i find in my mods, and re-save them in unicode, could it solve it too?

[Choum]

you will crash your game, this is a very bad idea.
The stock game doesn't support all files in unicode.
menu.txt -> unicode -> CTD

This was only a tdw problem as without his fix. Destruction marker save" corrup all accent so
the mission name inside doesn't match with the real game mission after reload.

EAUX C.TI.RES =/= EAUX CÔTIÈRES

All language with special caracters can have this problem, even stock game without the fix.

@ TDW:

Wanted to report an other small trouble with the UI charts draggable window.
Depending where you drag it on your screen, but playing/switching the small round buttons to fully open/close the windows (top one and low one) the charts window can disappear by itself (each time mouving up) at a point you can't drag it down anymore :doh:
On picture below, i couldn't grab it down anymore after switching buttons:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_443770UIcharts.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=443770UIcharts.jpg)

It happens quite often to me, and i have to delete the TDW draggable files in main folder for your application to reset it next play.
I'm sure you you'll find a fix for incoming UIs update :up:

Edit: when all items needed for an attack are out on screen, not that much space left to see the target! haha...

Hello, I just downloaded this mod and I want to enable compass on the bottom of my screen like many guys do, but I dont know how, can you tell me? also I installed WWII interface by naights on JGSME, but it seems doesnt work, any help is appreciated.

What do you mean? give an example, please..

also I installed WWII interface by naights on JGSME, but it seems doesnt work, any help is appreciated.

It will only work if you choose the SH3 interface.. you have to use the OptionsFileEditorViewer to choose interface.. the link 'How to' at the bottom of the post #1..

u must enable from optionfile viewer the SH3 or Sh4 UI style ... if u mean toes 3 dails from the left side from Volodya screen :)

[Fifi]

Can't wait for your DM save fix!
They are all working nice, just need to be solid saved now :D

Also, I have some problem here, how to remove Fuel and battery level as shown in lower part in this picture, http://puu.sh/3550r.jpg

with TDW optionfileviewer u can remove it if i am not wrong ....

[THE_MASK]

Also, I have some problem here, how to remove Fuel and battery level as shown in lower part in this picture, http://puu.sh/3550r.jpg
Also you can click the red square in the moddle of the compass panel to bring up the round compass . Then click on the little round icon on the compass panel to hide the compass panel .

[TheDarkWraith]

Can't wait for your DM save fix!
They are all working nice, just need to be solid saved now :D

If when loading a campaign you are still not seeing your previous DMs can you do what I asked of you before? I'll need the DbgView output from start of game till end of game and the whole \Documents\sh5\data\config\SavedGames folder zipped up.

All my DMs are being read from the destroyed units file in my saved games folder so it's a problem with languages other than English.

[TheDarkWraith]

Hello, I just downloaded this mod and I want to enable compass on the bottom of my screen like many guys do, but I dont know how, can you tell me?

It depends on what the heading bar's state is. There are two little round buttons located on the heading bar. One of them controls expansion, the other controls the state. The heading bar can be in one of two states:
- click to set new heading or
- click to enable/disable compass

The compass's zoom level can be edited by using the OptionsFileEditorViewer app found in \data\Applications. This of course is only available in the SH5 Enhanced UI version. The SH3/4 have a heading dial in the lower right corner of the screen (all the SH3/4 dial's zoom levels can be edited by using the OptionsFileEditorViewer also)

If you can do the same thing I asked of Fifi that would be great. I'll need a DbgView output from start of game till end of game and your complete \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SavedGames folder all zipped up so I can see what's going on :yep:

[Fifi]

All my DMs are being read from the destroyed units file in my saved games folder so it's a problem with languages other than English.

So to resume, with game fully in english DM are saved :hmm2:

To make my all game in french, i have the following:
- French menu txt in NewUIs
- French dialogs.tsr in MCCD
- French dialogs.tsr in Reworked Morale and Abilities
- French traduction in FRA v3.4 for Open Horizons 2.2 (by Choum)

I tried to play game without FRA v3.4 for Open Horizons 2.2, result is same...DM aren't reminded. So it's not coming from Choum mod...

:hmmm: I will test game with all stock english files enabled again then!
But i don't think MCCD and RM&A has to do something with career, hence DM not kept :06:
I'd rather see maybe something wrong with NewUIs french text...
If no result, so it should come from game itself (don't remember, but if i recall, i had to choose a language when i first installed game, so it can be the issue too...)

What do you think?

[TheDarkWraith]

Can't wait for your DM save fix!
They are all working nice, just need to be solid saved now :D

TDW, still nothing..

From looking over volodya61's files I saw I was going nowhere with my current code in getting his saved games folder. Thus I found an alternate way of doing it :D This should get volodya61's and Fifi's DMs loaded from their campaign destroyed marks file now: http://www.mediafire.com/?k5zfsats59f0la5

Same as before, let it overwrite the old one :up:

[Fifi]

Haha...was reinstalling all in english!...too late to try on previous install :/\\!!

Anyway, thanks TDW. I'll try it once all in French reinstalled :D

New install full english from start with no french trad files nowhere ---> it's a no go :o
Are you sure your english game is saving DM? :D

So i reinstalled french version of game with all my mods + french trad, and your new dll, and all i got this time is a mess on main bunker screen :/\\!!
NewUIs icons and windows are all mixed up with bunker view :doh:
Tried to reinstall only NewUIs with fresh extract, and it's still the same...

Can't believe the mess my computer is making...tomorrow, will start from scratch again :nope:

[volodya61]

New install full english from start with no french trad files nowhere ---> it's a no go :o
Are you sure your english game is saving DM? :D

Are you running local French version of Win or English version? and are all paths in your registry in English?

[Fifi]

No my win7 is in french of course, and my registry paths...i don't know!

[volodya61]

No my win7 is in french of course, and my registry paths...i don't know!

If you have French names of folders, respectively, and in the registry paths are present French names..

Probably not related, but New UIs is always messing up with decimal marks, on non-imperial localized systems which use commas instead of dots as default decimal marks. In my experience, going in windows international settings, and switching decimal mark to dots solves the problem. :know:

I don't remember how to access them in XP, but in Win 7 it is quite abstruse:

control panel => clock and international settings => change date, hour and numerical formats => Additional settings => Decimal mark


on the other hand, probably it will be an inconvenience for users.. :hmm2:

Yes, this bug bothers me especially when I want to change mission settings within New Uis: the mission gets messed up. I think TDW should fix this incovenience once and for all

If you changed your regional settings to English then change it back to your home country's first! The DLL now takes into account regional differences.

Do you have a \SH5\data\Users folder?

[volodya61]

There are no destroyed marks to load in SingleMission games. DMs only get loaded from campaign files (a campaign game).

Perhaps you got me wrong, I didn't mean that I've checked DMs loading in the single mission.. I checked DMs generally, will they appear or not..

if you destroy a unit in single missions you should get a DM. Is this not happening?

Of course I have.. how else would I've started a campaign without this folder :06:

Yes.. I don't see any DM if/when I destroyed a unit..

EDIT: Okay, I will re-test it all over again to make sure.. anyway I'm going to test Page single mission settings.py

Yours is a strange one :hmmm:

currently I'm at a loss. My DLL finds your \SH5\data folder but it can't find your \SH5\data\Users folder :hmmm: Don't understand :dead:

See edit to the previous post.. I'll reload the PC, reload the mods through JSGME and will test it again.. give me a few.. :up:

[volodya61]

First report -

Fix for the single mission settings works.. now I'm able to change the settings as many times as I need/want.. without any errors.. :up:

But.. There are not any DMs..

Glad to hear the single mission settings works :up:

The DMs are never going to work for you until the DLL can find your \SH5\data\Users folder. It's makes absolutely no sense why it can't. I use library calls to see if the folders exist (Directory.DirectoryExists) and the first library call finds your \SH5\data folder and the next library calls fails to find \SH5\data\Users. Mind boggling :doh:

[Fifi]

My result is different from Volodya...
With your latest DM dll, i get destroyed mark in single mission!
Gonna test in campaign now, and see if they are saved.

[Fifi]

:Kaleun_Party::Kaleun_Applaud:

IT'S FINALLY WORKING!!!!
Destroyed marks are now saved and back on reload in campaign :yeah:

I keep your last dll preciously! :haha:

[volodya61]

Second report -

No luck.. DMs are not appearing neither in campaign nor in single mission..

Reports (Dbg outputs campaign&single mission, SH5 folder of My Documents) - http://rghost.ru/46441567

Sorry, all the new tests after the short rest :), 05:00 AM here..

See you :salute:

EDIT: just thought.. could this be due to the fact that I completely removed the Users folder before started a new campaign? :06: :hmmm:

the only problem that will arise is if \SH5\data\Users doesn't exist on your computer (the game would have problems with that also!). I'll look over the files in the link you provided. I'm really stumped with yours. Fifi's is working so what's different with yours :hmmm:

[TheDarkWraith]

Excellent :yeah: Now just have to figure out why volodya61's isn't working (why I can't find his \SH5\data\Users folder) :hmmm:

TDW, I just checked it (couldn't sleep :D).. yes, if the Users folder doesn't exist before the game was loaded, your file doesn't see it for some reason even after it has already been created..
I tested single mission with folder that I sent you and DM was appeared..
So, we can't start new campaign from scratch (empty MyDocuments/SH5 folder).. we should start campaign, then completely exit the game and then load the bunker save..

ah, ok. I can work with that. What I'll do is have the DLL check for them again if it didn't find them at first when it goes to create a new DM :up: Problem solved.

About magnetic pistols, they were so useless that almost no Kaleun use them before they were replaced by a new model in late december 42.

I don't know if it's actually correctly rendered in game, as I've not been further than the entrance of Kiel canal presently :yep:
But for sure they should not be the choice by default....

I don't know if we are talking about the same thing about changing mission settings, but when I use the mission Editor to modify a single mission : tab mission>>parameters, everything is ok, but in game, the date/hour is also messed up. Never had a warning message as described by Volodya or Gap.
I'm in metric system too.

I'm still using 7_4_0 and 1_0_94. I want to finalize my mod list on a stable version (for me at least) before migration.

[volodya61]

OK, I'll test it soon :)
One small remark, as I remember, there was a message displayed in a message box (Enemy unit destroyed) in the stock game.. menu.txt lines 4140-4143.. is it possible to return this message back?
