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.

The mission editor is totally different from the single mission settings you can change with my UIs mod. When you select a single mission and you mouse over the start button (don't click it) a single mission settings window will appear that will let you change many of the parameters of the single mission (along with letting you choose your start location also!)

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?

Yes it will be returned along with radio messages/sounds for sinking units.

Ok, before testing your latest test v3, i wanted to report other bug from long time ago (day one using NewUIs):

In NewUIs, i use the Emtgufs Aspect ratio 16_9 (but it was the same with manos scope 16/9) and of course i have enabled the Emtgufs option in fileviewer.
Now, from time to time, i get this bug when taking deck gun:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_202417Gunbug.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=202417Gunbug.jpg)
...and i get this bug in the periscope view:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_202837Periscopebug.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=202837Periscopebug.jpg)
Just playing with scope zoom, it's back normal again:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_224490Periscopebug2.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=224490Periscopebug2.jpg)
Same with UZO (as well as from time to time) but couldn't take a screenshot yet of it...

Is it known, or did i missed a setting somewhere? :06:

PS:
- If i try your latest NewUIs test v3, and i load my last save, will it keep the DM i have already get in my campaign with the v2 and your latest dll ?
Or do i have to start over again?
- Are the saved DM reset each time in bunker, or we are going to get hundreds of DM along the full campaign?
(just saying because map should be very red one day!)

In NewUIs, i use the Emtgufs Aspect ratio 16_9 (but it was the same with manos scope 16/9)..

They are not the same.. these files (cameras.cam) have completely different angular angles..

Now, from time to time, i get this bug when taking deck gun:

I have never seen similar view.. always use Emtguf scope..

...and i get this bug in the periscope view:

Just playing with scope zoom, it's back normal again:

It's ok.. this may be only after the scope's rise.. it's not hard to play with zoom :03:

Ok, Ive spent the last four hours testing build 3 of 7.5 and it looks good to me

Also on Volodyas problem, windows can be funny about NTFS access permissions. Theres multiple levels, its not just a matter of local group policy there can be hardcoded access control lists ACLs and there is a hierachy of order with domain admins overwriting local group policy and so forth

TDW you need to understand at what level your trying to confirm the file accss it isnt a simple as just a local machine access in a domain context

TDW I respect the decisions you have/will make on your code, but I do sir encourage you to open source it. I posted my opinion in a thread about how I consider the dev effort for SH5 to be somewhat broken. However, if you choose to continue this closed source model for your goodies thats ok, Im just trying to share a view with you :) I love your work

Dm work fine for me with tha lates test version.

Never seen the deck gun bug. Never seen the periscope view bug. The UZO sometimes tries to 'unzoom' but a simple roll of the mousewheel forward cures that.

All your campaign DMs are saved to a campaign destroyed unit's file by the game. I simply read that file to get the destroyed units.

Currently I read in all the destroyed unit's in the campaign destroyed unit's file at game start. The only way they are going to get reset is if you delete the campaign's destroyed units file.

First off I have the same privilege level as the game because of how the DLLs are 'loaded' into the game. Second, I'm not trying to confirm any file access. I'm simply using an intrinsic function in .NET to see if a file exists (File.Exists). volodya61's problem makes absolutely no sense to me. He had it working and now it's not again. I didn't change anything in the DLL which would cause him to have errors again. I'm beginning to think his computer is possessed :huh:

I'm wondering if the DMs are fully compatible with Real Nav. If the DM appears on the right position just after the unit is destroyed, as I know where I am relative to the destroyed unit, I get a very precise reconning....

good point! I'll have to ensure they are shown with the error that your navigator currently has :up: I'll do that in test version 5. Currently uploading test version 4

NewUIs v7.5.0 test version 4 available here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4081&act=down

Same test conditions as before.

Added:
- ships and subs will have a message placed in messagebox when destroyed (WEPS: x sunk at position y etc.)
- radio messages for destroyed units active again
- crew sounds for radio messages (destroyed units) active again
- revised TDWRadioMessages.dll for new destroyed marks

Fixed:
- no more radio messages or crew sounds for destroyed aircraft

I would appreciate when the DMarks & radio messages about sunken ships etc. shown up are optional. I dont use the AI Navigator to calculate my position. I calculate my position on my own (stellarium, true navigation) and i want to decide on my own what, where and when i will put marks on my map. It would be cheating when i miscalculated my position for whatever reason and suddenly marks shown up on different locations.

test version 5 available here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4081&act=down

test version 5 adds:
- DMs are real nav aware. Thus whatever error exists between your current position and your actual position will be applied to the DMs position on the map.

In test version 6 I will add the code necessary for switching on/off DMs

Yes, UZO and periscope bug are cured with a simple roll of mouse wheel :yep:
Gun bug, i have to leave station and take it back again.
So it's coming from my side...:-? But it's not a corrupted file as since very first NewUIs i used, it was the same. And with all others versions up to today!
Well no big deal, i can live with it anyway, as it's not that often :up:

Hi, I understand you

Its possible Volodya has either:

1. NTFS corruption / bad sectors
2. Core Windows file system corruption for the core kernel files

So I suggest

a) Running chkdsk with the filesystem un mounted by setting chkdsk to fix all errors on a scan at boot time. chkdsk cant fix errors on the fly with the file system mounted. If that passes, then I would include chkdsk to scan every sector of the drive for a bad block.

b) in an admin command console, run the command "sfc /scannow" to integrity check all core windows files for checksums against corruption

If that still fails to fix the problem, I would suspect a trojan virus / rootkit has taken control of his system as often they implement their own filesystem on the infected machines system outside of the ntfs file system and strange things like this exhibit themselves as hints to the infection. I would in this final case secure wipe the drive and reinstall the OS all together cos either corruption is so bad it cant be fixed by chkdsk and sfc, or there is rootkits messing things both of which cases is a wipe.

I use not only CCleaner..
And the problem arises only when using a single DLL in a single application..
So, where is the problem? on my PC or with this DLL?

As I always use the 4 bearings method to determine the course and speed of my targets, at the end, the result is very often an overwritten shema with a lot of circles, angles, lines and so ....
What would be a very useful feature, is to have some colors, at least for the pencil and the protractor, something like that :

- ships and subs will have a message placed in messagebox when destroyed (WEPS: x sunk at position y etc.)

Messages in the message box appears not each time.. I mean not always when unit was destroyed..

sometimes when several units were destroyed at the same time, there is only one DM for all.. all the other DMs appears after reload..

I've already reported about this.. all the DMs I can see only after the save/load, but not always, sometimes all the DMs appears at once..

I was reading through the first post and I realized that I don't actually have a folder designated "Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5". The only file in my Ubisoft folder is the "Ubisoft Game Launcher" file, and that doesn't seem to contain any sub-folders related to Silent Hunter. All of my Silent Hunter files are located under "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Silent Hunter 5". Does this matter?

Edit: I went ahead and tried anyway, the mod seems to have installed correctly- comparing file snapshots shows a great deal of new files- but it didn't actually change anything. Even though there are a lot of new files in the game, it still acts vanilla.

Currently I read in all the destroyed unit's in the campaign destroyed unit's file at game start. The only way they are going to get reset is if you delete the campaign's destroyed units file.

When i started second mission after docking at Kiel, all previous DM at Dantzig bay were deleted automaticaly!
So it seems NewUIs delete all DM after each time in bunker...that's good :up:

I'm almost ready to start my first campaign with OHII and I want to know if
OptionsFileEditorViewerr>>Player Objectives>>Player objective Events Enabled
must be set to True or can I let it on False as it is currently?
And what does excatly this option do?

This option is for enabling one (useless in my opinion) thing.. see here -

As far as I know, there isn't such option.. you will see your wounded officers in the officer's toolbar as soon as it happen.. :03:

I agree with volodya61. Could you be thinking of the mod, NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_alt_officer_wounded_by_Torpedo which is contained in the compressed files of NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith?

Yes! You put me in the right direction! First time I play and had officiers wounded, I was playing with only News_UI.
Then, when enabling mods, I added the alt-officiers-wounded, not really knowing what I was excatly enabling, and when today I made some crash test, I got the "soft" pictures of my wounded officiers.

On another topic, I find a little bug with the WIIInterface. In the toolbar, I get the SH5enhance icons for fuel, battery, compress air and CO2. I take a look in menu editor, but my screen resolution is 1366x768, and the windows are too big and not resizable. Any idea to get around this problem? I can always try to deal directly with the Page Layout.ini file, but it's a little tricky...

v1.0.32.0 of the OptionsFileEditorViewer released. See post #1

This updated version has language packs and allows you to resize the window. It also has a new File command: File-->Reports-->Hot keys that creates a file in the applications path that lists all the hotkeys used by the mod and their status. This version also adds the familiar enabled/disabled icons that the Generic Patcher uses for a Boolean options (see post #1 for screenshot of the app)

Yes all of that is completely normal. Those are the destructors of the DLLs being called.

Second picture was taken just after the click to set the new course from the first one.
I know from where this problem comes. It's related to the [G3F I639] entry in the Page Layout.ini file. In fact the "New Val" zone ([G3F I643]), which define where to click to set the new course is define with a width of 12 pixel, and the parent, which defines the global zone is 100 pixel wide.
BUT, for a round dial with a rotating needle, the size must be an odd number of pixel, to enabled a "central" pixel which is used as pivot point.
If not the case, the needle is always offset from one pixel, thus the inacurracy of the click.
When the dial is just here to show a feedback of some technical data of the sub, it has absolutely no impact, neither when the area where to give the input doesn't require an absolute precision.
But for a compass, it's mandatory.
I tried to tweak some values in the Page layout.ini file, but unfortunately with no succes yet.

TheDarkWraith

06-07-13, 05:22 PM

I know from the first post of the Generic Patcher thread, that it is "easy" to have different colors for different tools, but what about different colors for a given tool?

Well I added the code to allow the colors to be changed on the fly for the map tools but it didn't work as expected. The game updates all instances of the map tool with the new color WHEN a new instance of the tool is placed on the map. I'd have to rewrite all the map tools code in order to be able to use different colors for each instance of the tool. Maybe someday I'll do this.

In the meantime here's the new feature:

mousing over any map tool (compass, ruler, marker, or protractor) you will see this:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6709

Right clicking the map tool will cause this to appear:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6710

scrolling into each entry of Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha and using the mousewheel will allow you to change the values. The color box will be updated in real time to show you the new color. Once you have the new color wanted mouse over the color box:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6711

Clicking the color box will set the new color for the map tool. The new color DOES NOT take affect until you place a new instance of the tool on the map. Doing so will cause all instances of this tool on the map to change to the new color.

Note: you CAN set the alpha value to make them transparent :D

Here I clicked the color box to set the new color and placed a new mark on the map:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6712

Here I clicked the Restore original color button to restore the map tool's color to it's original color. NOTE: you still have to click the color box to apply the new color to the map tool! I did click the color box to set the map tools new color. Also note that the instances of the tool on the map remained their previous color. When you place a new instance of the tool on the map then all instances of the tool will change to the new color.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6713

Here I place a new instance of the marker tool and all instances changed to the new color:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6714

NewUIs v7.5.0 test version 6 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?kags81b36bs6jss

NOTE: Your anti-virus software will probably really complain about TDWDestroyedMarks.dll because of the code I have in their for updating colors in real-time :D

Cool! How is this feature going to interact with your tool color patches? are the colors set via patcher going to be treated as "original color"?

TheDarkWraith

06-07-13, 05:35 PM

Cool! How is this feature going to interact with your tool color patches? are the colors set via patcher going to be treated as "original color"?

Yes. The DLL reads the colors from the game (in memory) and stores those as the original colors. When you set a new color for the tool the DLL writes the new color to the game's memory. Thus these map tool color changes only persist while the game is active. Once the game is shutdown the changes are gone :up:

The color system doesn't work on the Nav map, only in TAI map.

I have some difficulties to change the three values.
If I go from Red to another color without leaving the color windows, I can't change the value.
If I move my cursor outside the window after each color change it's works.

Works just fine on any map I try it. As soon as I set a new color and then place a new instance of the tool on any map ALL instances of the tool on BOTH maps get updated.

I have had some difficulty changing the four values also (Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha). I need to space the 4 values out more so that there is a little more blank space between them :yep:

If not the case, the needle is always offset from one pixel, thus the inacurracy of the click.
When the dial is just here to show a feedback of some technical data of the sub, it has absolutely no impact, neither when the area where to give the input doesn't require an absolute precision.
But for a compass, it's mandatory.
I tried to tweak some values in the Page layout.ini file, but unfortunately with no succes yet.

I think you can see them now. But they are uploaded on Imageshack. Still investigating.....:hmmm:

Clicking the color box will set the new color for the map tool. The new color DOES NOT take affect until you place a new instance of the tool on the map. Doing so will cause all instances of this tool on the map to change to the new color.

It's not working for me :hmmm:
I have clicked the color box and nothing changed.. still old color which was chosen via the patcher..

Excellent idea for radio and messages... :sunny:
Funny thing is i was about to ask same thing, but was hesitating because i know TDW is always very busy fixing more important stuff :oops:

Anyway, while we are there, and if it's not too much demanding, i'd rather see a ship's journal more looking like NewUIs identifying manual :rock: ...or like Reaper's manual...with a different kind of font, more looking like a hand writing! :sunny:

Sorry for the question, i know that this thread is full of them but i've made a mess with charts, this afternoon all was good but then the first problem emerged: i tried to add the AOB slide ruller to my mods but when i started the game i was unable to find it over the speed conversion tables, but that was ok, no problem.
Now when i start the game and i click on charts button on the middle right only the recognition manual shows up, nothing else (also no interface for charts choice). I tried to reinstall all the mods that i have but no problem solved...

Open the data/application/fileviewer, set right path for SH5 and menu text, and the open TheDarkWraithUserOptions in data/scripts/menu.

Are you unzipping the main file after downloading and putting it in MODS? I had the same problem and had to go into the file which had its own MODS folder then took out what I wanted and put in the JSGME folder.

Now my problem is I cannot get the TDC to work properly at all. Sometimes all of the dials will spin out of control when locked on. I guess it isn't like SHIII and IV.

I am running the TED tutorials on how to use hydros for target solution. Even though the sonar man is reporting a contct along a brg u can not hear it? I am at 18 meters deep.

The stock protractor and ruler are incredibly small does 7.4.2 have alternatives? I can set to True? I located a new mod for cursor and KM tools ..

Firstly, many thanks to all the modders. I received SH5 as a birthday gift years ago and was sorely disappointed with its original version, until I found this community and its mods. After 2 years I still spend many a late night glued to the periscope with all the improvements to the vanilla game.

I have a question about Radio Messages ( in the English folder ). I notice all of the special characters in the Radio Messages come up 'glitched' while playing the game [EG: Kr�fte instead of Kräfte]. Playing around with the radiomessage.txt file in Notepad I notice that they are saved as UTF-8. If I correct a special character AND save the file under UTF-16 then it appears correctly in-game.

So, are the radio messages in the Mod saved as an incorrect format, or is it something I missed in the Mod install / options?

I'm using 7-zip 9.20 to unpack the mod. I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I'm using NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith but this problem goes back as far as version NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0 ( the oldest version I still have ) and I see the same issue with the stand-alone Radio_Messages_1_2_0_Non-NewUIs.

Any thoughts / fixes?

Thanks.

Those radio message files were created by an app I made. I probably didn't tell the app to save as UTF-16 :yep:

@TheDarkWraith: I'm using your mod (finally got it to work fine after disabling some of the Generic Patcher patches and mod options which were causing CTDs for me) and enabled radio messages, and noticed that many messages contained non-ascii characters and didn't display properly. Before you tell me I did, I've never edited the radiomessages.txt files and only used JSGME to activate the mod and your Options editor to manage the settings of the mod. I only opened it myself to look at it but never saved it, so they came like this with your mod. I did see the yellow warning message in one of your threads where you mention to always save the options file as unicode, but I checked and it's not the problem.

See for yourself:

UltraEdit (the editor I used to check the file) should be able to display the proper "Ü" characters if they were truly entered and saved as utf8 unicode, but it's showing unknown character symbols instead, so it look slike there was an invalid conversion done at some point...

Do you know how to fix this?

ok... ...thanks, but this is not really helping... what am I supposed to do with this?

"Those radio message files were created by an app I made. I probably didn't tell the app to save as UTF-16"

this statement doesn't say what to do to fix it or if you will release a fixed version or not... am I supposed to open each file with your radio message editor and save them as UTF-16 or should I wait for you to release a fixed version?

EDIT: Nevermind... the link opened the post in a separate window without showing what followed... I read your other posts... so in other words, if the source is bad, you won't fix it... nice.

Can I just disable those modified radio messages in your mod (keeping th erest of it) and use the stock radio messages instead?

ygirouard, if those little glitches bother you in radio messages, open TDW radio message folder, and change manually all the letters containing the glitche by a normal letter (without any accent or ¨)
It should work, and there aren't that much to change :03:

I checked the source file the app I made extracted all the radio messages from and all the special characters are correct. This means my app I made to extract those is wrong. I'm updating the app and hope to release updated radio messages here soon :up:

Thank u for reply. I dl'ed and will work on it after I resolve the following:

Even after REM installed ......Hydrophones do not give prop noise .... just background noise.
Sonar man does not give est rng to target
Navigator does not have D icon for dead recogn.

in instructions in REM it seems like he is suggestion to override the sensor.... something warning when installing? I did not do that... little reluctant...

I can get around the dead recon... but need the est range and the audio fixed for sound man:<)

Any ideas? Could TDW 7.4.2 have a solution ?

@TheDarkWraith: After I accept and start a new patrol and go from the bunker to the sub, the radioman is going crazy with all the messages he has received and intercepted during the days spent inside the bunker. The audio is also spamming as if 5 guys were speaking at once. I always have a full page of radio messages (red ones, intercepted) to click off every time I start a new patrol.

Would it be possible to automatically ignore any radio message received while inside the bunker so they don't "queue up" like this the moment you get back in the sub?

Note: The change to intercept option is left to its default at 50. I tried to lower it, but it didn't change much.

- In hydrophone, i still see unknown when needle is 180...but all others entries are showing fine (even submarine :D)

Both on my desktop.
For your UI, i have clean act files and exe...

1st one can't help you with, never had that problem before.

The hydrophone one I just verified. The new code I put in is allowing the player's sub to be a contact and thus you get the unknown. I'll have to test for the player's sub so this doesn't happen. I'll rewrite that code tomorrow :up:

Will this new zoom level affect the "normal" UZO view, or it will be only enabled when in sextant mode? Our scope modders have made their best to keep optics magnification levels as historical as possible, and we should respect their work :D

Coded in all the new changes for the Sextant (except for converting to degrees/minutes/seconds):

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=6836

My sub's course was 44 degrees.

The set reference azimuth allows you to place the sextant on one object, click set reference azimuth (will be placed in the Ref azimuth), place sextant on another object and read out the azimuth difference (Ref azimuth diff). Ref azimuths are in relation to the sextant only (meaning in relation to the sub - if you change course they do not get updated with your new course).

Any other data that needs to be shown?

For testing purposes I have 3 zoom levels for the sextant - 0.5X, 1.5X, and 7X (zoom level is not shown)

I'll upload new test version here very shortly so Sjizzle can test it out.

v7.5.0 test version 10 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?949tsc1xuaa1fa7

Updated the sextant so Sjizzle can test. Sextant is now done through the UZO. You do not have to be at the UZO station to use it. Click Navigator-->Sextant to bring up the sextant window. Click Enable sextant and the game will do the rest. Then click the button to use the sextant to take elevation reading. Sextant allows you to also take an azimuth difference between two measuring points (horizontally). Sextant has 3 zoom levels: 0.5X, 1.5X, and 7X (for testing purposes). The viewport for the UZO is different from OBS scope so I'm curious to see how Sjizzle's testing works.

When done using the sextant click Disable sextant.

NOTE: you have to be surfaced in order to use the sextant. Obvious to most but just have to make sure.

...

The set reference azimuth allows you to place the sextant on one object, click set reference azimuth (will be placed in the Ref azimuth), place sextant on another object and read out the azimuth difference (Ref azimuth diff). Ref azimuths are in relation to the sextant only (meaning in relation to the sub - if you change course they do not get updated with your new course).

So, if I got it correctly:

Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to sub course
True Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth: azimuth of the reference point relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth Diff: azimuth of our star relative to the reference point

Is this correct? :hmm2:

Any other data that needs to be shown?

Ref Altitude and Ref Altitude Diff would be nice also, but I suppose that due to the way you are calculating altitude (through the stadieter), there's not an easy way to get the above values...

Sextant is now done through the UZO. You do not have to be at the UZO station to use it. Click Navigator-->Sextant to bring up the sextant window. Click Enable sextant and the game will do the rest. Then click the button to use the sextant to take elevation reading. Sextant allows you to also take an azimuth difference between two measuring points (horizontally). Sextant has 3 zoom levels: 0.5X, 1.5X, and 7X (for testing purposes). The viewport for the UZO is different from OBS scope so I'm curious to see how Sjizzle's testing works.

When done using the sextant click Disable sextant.

Simply brilliant :up:

just a couple of minor remarks:

- I have the feeling that too many button clicks are involved for enabling the sextant. Are they all really needed? If possible, I would keep sextant usage as simple as possible.

- Is there any use in marking lines. Can't you get rid of them at all, without giving the option to disable/re-enable them?

..Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to sub course
True Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth: azimuth of the reference point relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth Diff: azimuth of our star relative to the reference point..

If you don't mind, can you explain it more simpler (like for children in kindergarten), because I'm trying to translate it in Russian and can't understand what Russian nautical terms I should use :hmmm: :06:

Just a question . What is the different time that is shown on the debug info enabled in the Scene Dat ?

No idea. Never seen that before. How did you enable it :06:

So, if I got it correctly:

Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to sub course
True Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth: azimuth of the reference point relative to the true North
Ref Azimuth Diff: azimuth of our star relative to the reference point

Is this correct? :hmm2:

Azimuth: correct
True Azimuth: correct
Ref Azimuth: incorrect. azimuth of the reference point relative to sub's course
Ref Azimuth Diff: correct

You are currently getting Ref Altitude Diff. It's the angle val. The angle val (or now Elevation) is the difference between scope horizontal reference mark and sextant (stadimeter) line. That's the best I can do currently.

There are only 4 button clicks needed to use the Sextant:
1) Click Navigator
2) Click Sextant
3) Click Enable Sextant
4) click Sextant button to start using it (I can't call events thus you have to press the button yourself). Anyways you have to align the vertical reference line with the body you want to measure first so there's no need in even trying to call the event (once you are using Sextant [stadimeter] you are not allowed to move camera left or right)

Marking lines auto disappear when you click Enable Sextant. When you click Disable Sextant they are re-enabled (and you are booted out of sextant screen)

Open the Scene Dat with S3D .
EnvSim Debug show info = True
I was wondering if it could cause problems .

Azimuth: correct
True Azimuth: correct
Ref Azimuth: incorrect. azimuth of the reference point relative to sub's course
Ref Azimuth Diff: correct

Okay. For more cleaness, what about making all the Azimuth values relative to the true North? The only use of sub-course relative azimuth would be if magnetic declination (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination) was simulated in game, or if our compass could break apart (thus forcing us to adjust our route or to orient ourselves with the stars), but I don't think this is going to happen anytime soon... :hmmm:

Okay, I think this is good enough :up:

then what is the use of the "Toggle marking lines visibility" button? :hmm2:

Toggle marking lines visibility is test code until I finish coding in two new commands (Disable_marking_lines and Enable_marking_lines). Currently I only added the new command Toggle_marking_lines. I'm writing that code currently.

Compass may break one day :D

Okay. I don't think those lines could be enabled/disabled in reality. Again for more cleaness, I would remove the markin line option(s) from the UI, letting the new commands to deal with those lines automatically, when needed. My two cents :03:

Compass may break one day :D

:o

Cool, but I think that by the time of WWII they could orient themselves through radio beams :D

..Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to sub course

If you're standing outside on the sub this would be the relative bearing to the object you are measuring (relative meaning 0 would be sub's course)

True Azimuth: azimuth of our star relative to the true North

if you're standing outside on the sub this would be the true bearing to the object you are measuring (true meaning 0 would be north)

Ref Azimuth: azimuth of the reference point relative to sub's course

If you're standing outside on the sub this would be the relative bearing to the reference point you chose (relative meaning 0 would be sub's course)

Ref Azimuth Diff: azimuth of current sextant location - azimuth of our reference point. This value will either be positive (if between 0-180 degrees of reference point) or negative (if between 180.0001 and 359.999 of reference point)
