[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[kylania]

TheDarkWraith, I have question about Church's Keyboard Command mod or any similar mods - can I use safely these mods with your Multiple_UI or not?

I use Church's keyboard mod and here's the changes I make to TDW NewUI to resolve conflicts. All these changes are made to the NewUI, I don't change Church's at all. Bold keys are the ones I change.

HeadingRudderKey = F (default C)
FollowSelectedTargetHotKey = V (default X)
NomographVisibleOnMiniMapHotKey = N (default N)
DisplayTheMessageBoxHotKey = U (default L)
DisplayTeleportingOrderBarKey = Y (default T)
ShowChalkBoardHotKey = B (default B) (shift)
IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = K (default K)

I don't map any of the TeleportToStation keys though.

[jaxa]

I want only use arrows for walking on boat - is it possible to change these buttons?

Didn't you say you use Church's Keys for SH5 mod? Arrow keys = avatar movement is part of that mod.

[longam]

I have enabled this mod but see no change in the UI. The offline game files update and I wonder if they are taking over the mod. I have tried to stop the files from being stored offline, but it never works. I have even blown away the game but the freaking files online keep coming back.

[Sonarman]

I have enabled this mod but see no change in the UI.

Double check your directory structure in regard to the mod it's probably installed at the wrong level.

You should have the folder "NewUIs_TDC_2_2_2_ByTheDarkWraith" in the mods directory and whichever other one you choose eg "NewUIs_TDC_2_2_2_MinimalDials_TDC" etc

[longam]

Drilling down into the directory I can see why it didn't work.

[TheDarkWraith]

Made the officers draggable but only in the horizontal direction. The narrow band between the bottom of the order categories and the top of the officers is where you 'grab' to drag them. If you try to reposition them vertically they will snap back to the bottom as soon as you stop moving the mouse. You'll notice the 4 arrow cursor (drag cursor) right above WEPS (the currently selected officer) in the screenie below:

what if you could reposition the dials in the TDC modes? I'm running into difficulties adding a user assignable offset the scopes to allow you to offset the viewing hole. So what if I allowed you to reposition the dials (they are in groups)?

I've been forced to play NoDials just because there -is- no where to put the dials. Unless the dials were 1/2 size or something.

Edit: Here.. I'll load up all dials and show you and grab a screen shot.. BRB

[TheDarkWraith]

just wrapped up v2.3.0. Here is the change log for it:

v2.3.0 - conus00 redid the draggable compasses on the navigation map. They are now the default draggable compasses for this mod
- added missing icons to add-on mods made by others that were revised to comply with patch 1.2
- changed operation of heading bar. Added a new toggle at the far right end of the heading bar. It toggles between heading
bar advanced mode and regular mode. Toggling between the two modes is done via either clicking the new toggle or pressing the
control key (just like advanced HUD mode). If the control key is pressed then advanced mode is enabled for the new heading bar and
once control is released (and if the new toggle isn't active) then advanced mode is disabled for the new heading bar. If the toggle
is clicked then this will either lock in advanced mode or regular mode for the new heading bar.
When in advanced mode you click on the headings shown to order that new heading. When in regular mode you use the hotkeys to assign
the new heading (just like you did in previous versions of the UI mod with the old heading bar). If in regular mode and you are
ordering a new heading, pressing just the hotkeys will change the desired heading by 5s. Pressing just the the hotkeys + holding
down shift will change the desired heading by 1s.
- made the officers draggable but only in the horizontal direction. If you try to reposition them vertically they will snap
back to the bottom when you stop dragging them.
- Navigator's return to course order category is now controlled by the number of waypoints you have for the sub on the map
(s). If you have no waypoints then the icon is disabled. If you have at least one then the icon is enabled.

I need to ensure that I didn't screw up the new heading bar with the changes I've made. That is why this release is small as far as changes go.

Packaging up now and uploading shortly.

Edit: Here.. I'll load up all dials and show you and grab a screen shot.. BRB

why don't you use a TDC Dials mode and just toggle them on/off with the toggle I provided in each scope view (attack, obs, and UZO). That way you can enable them when you need them and disable them when you need to look through the scope.

[McHub532]

Here is what AllDials look like on my woosie sized monitor.

Notice the size my TAI has to be in order to see all the dials, the compass problem (you fixed that already so way cool), the notepad covering things.. also when the officer pops up when you lock onto a target.. you cover even more dials.

the gyro angle that's being covered up by the messagebox is draggable so you can reposition it. Pressing the toggle dials button in the torpedo box will hide/unhide the dials :03:

I need to reposition the left side dials though so that they clear the map tools bar and everything on the left side :yep:

[McHub532]

I need to reposition the left side dials though so that they clear the map tools bar and everything on the left side :yep:

The hope I had of shifting the scope to the right was so that I could open up the TAI large enough for better use. It keeps having to cover up a good portion of the scope.

I sort of realize the size/resolution has limitations.. as is, is amazing.. just a little OCD and always seeking improvement. :)

I made my copy of the hud a bit darker . Also could we have that um contact kilometers in increments of 50 instead of 1 please .

[McHub532]

BTW.. thank all of you for putting up with me.

I'm living down in Arizona by myself (new job) for a few months now.. and a few more months before my wife and daughter move to join me.

You have 1, 10, and 100 available....depends on whether you're pressing shift or shft and alt when clicking those.

[McHub532]

You have 1, 10, and 100 available....depends on whether you're pressing shift or shft and alt when clicking those.

Awesome.. Yeah, I've been using Shift (10) myself. Not sure if that was too small for Sober at 10 and too large at 100.. I'm just trying to be supportive of ideas. :)

[TheDarkWraith]

Awesome.. Yeah, I've been using Shift (10) myself. Not sure if that was too small for Sober at 10 and too large at 100.. I'm just trying to be supportive of ideas. :)

well there's also the control key to use.

So I could do:

no keys pressed and just clicking them yields change of 1
shift pressed and clicking yields change of 10
shift + control pressed and clicking yields change of 50
shift + control + alt and clicking yields change of 100

I think 50 is what Sober wants.. I could see using it too but I've been using 10.

I'd so reverse of this personally. I'm not sure where a 1km change would be helpful, but 100 or 50 I can certainly see, so making the larger changes easier would make sense to me. :)

[kylania]

Yup! :sunny:

[TheDarkWraith]

Yup! :sunny:

changed :salute:

Also added a new user option OfficersPinnedToBottomOfScreen. If set to True then you can only drag the officers horizontally. If set to False then you can reposition them anywhere on the screen:

and if you're using the SH5Enhanced UI mode I made the heading/rudder togglable dial draggable:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=285&pictureid=2063

ok now I'm finally done with v2.3.0. Packaging up.....

[TheDarkWraith]

v2.3.0 released. See post #1 for details.

v2.3.0 final change log:

v2.3.0 - conus00 redid the draggable compasses on the navigation map. They are now the default draggable compasses for this mod

- made the officers draggable
- added new user option that pins the officers to the bottom of the screen when trying to drag them if set to True. If set to False then the officers can be dragged anywhere on the screen (OfficersPinnedToBottomOfScreen)
- Navigator's return to course order category is now controlled by the number of waypoints you have for the sub on the map(s). If you have no waypoints then the icon is disabled. If you have at least one then the icon is enabled.
- changed the operation of the +- icons for max radio contact range. They now operate as follows: no keys pressed and just clicking them yields change of +-100. Shift pressed and clicking yields change of +-50. Shift + control pressed and clicking yields change of +-10. Shift + control + alt and clicking yields change of +-1
- in SH5Enhanced mode made the heading/rudder togglable dial draggable
- Adjusted TDC dials to be more low screen resolution friendly
- fixed bug of clock/chrono when in high TC settings (the bug was user was not able to toggle the visibility of the clock/chrono at high TC settings)

I'm assuming from the lack of posts about it that I didn't screw up the new heading bar when I gave it advanced/normal modes? :hmmm: I didn't find any errors in my testing with it but you all seem to find the errors that I don't ;) :DL

I loaded up your new mod but haven't started the game with it yet.. catching up on Flashforward and Survivor episodes. :)

I've been using it and love the ability to shift on the fly to bring up the compass if needed. No troubles with the heading bar for me. :up:

One thing I noticed and I haven't tried restarting the game to see if it fixed it but when clicking the Chief Engineer symbol and then the propulsion symbol, the recharging batteries symbol (think that's what its called) found there is always 'shaking' back and forth like its trying to position itself.

I'll get a screenshot if needed to show which one I'm talking about.

[Jens-Uffe-Andersen]

First off: Thanks for a great mod.
Now, I seem to have some problems with the 2.2.2 and 2.3.0 patches. My fuel gauge is a bit messed up and it is placed in middle of the speed gauge, and I can’t seem to move the indicators around. Is this a bug or is the problem at my end? I run the game via steam and I don't think it has updated the game to the newest patch yet. Could this be the cause of the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Have the same problem. But it does reload the battery as long as I don't use this feature.

[7thSeal]

I just saved and restarted the game and it seems to have stopped shaking. I thought having dragged the bar around trying out this new feature might of triggered it but dragged it around again and its working fine. :)

[SeaWolf U-57]

Yes it seems that SH5 is a bit temperamental to say the least
if you change anything even add or remove a mod you will
need to run the game and save it then reload it to make the
changes work properly :hmmm:

[TheDarkWraith]

these shaking issues.....can someone show me screenshots? Is it caused by enabling the mod mid mission or mid patrol?

Anyone using this mod in multi-player? If so, any noticeable problems/bugs? I've tried to ensure that it works well in mutli-player mode also but I don't get to test it out much with multi-player since I don't play in that mode.

[conus00]

big apology to conus00 for not getting to this sooner :oops: conus00 has redone the .dds files for the draggable compasses and they are now the default compasses in v2.3.0.
I also got around redoing the .dds files for the add-on mods for this mod. Below is naights alternate advanced speed control and jimimadrid's map tools:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=285&pictureid=2053

Not a big deal, mate. I figured that you had a 'bigger fish to fry' while working on your mod :D
I'm glad that you ended up using the files after all.

Just a little request here :

Could it be possible to make the desired heading set with hotkeys to take effect while actually have the mouse over the heading bar only.

I ask this because everytime I overed the heading bar with the mouse (even without clicking) it ordered a new heading course. I found out it was because when moving around in the sub with WASD Keys (ZQSD here, azerty keyboard) it memorised a new course order which will take effect as soon as I will be overing the mouse over the heading bar.

I have tried to bind the A key instead of Q in the option file but for some reason the A key will close the map, making impossible to use the rotating dragable compass. So I wish to keep the Q and E hotkeys for this.

Thanks.

[sentenc3]

Hello, you tell me how to activate the red when an officer is hurt ... is that I had wounded officers, and nothing came ... what also surprises me is that when I select either an officer does not leave the edge of color gray surrounding the square where the officer.
Only in the game see the top bar.
I have to activate something?
Thanks

Mine happened after enabling during mid patrol, just a quick save and restart of game has fixed it though. Haven't seen it anymore after playing for several hours. :up:

this appears to be a side effect of the fix I made to make the officers clickable for those of you who were unable to select them. I'll have to dig a little deeper into this.....the problem is I don't experience the problem on my computer and many others don't either so it's hard for me to develop a fix/solution.

[TheDarkWraith]

Just a little request here :

that's actually how it's supposed to be working. This means that I have a bug that I need to track down. I knew there would be at least one bug with the changes I made :yep:

Is this mod compatible with More Crew Commands?

[Ackwell]

I hqave to say that this mod is anbelievably good! I'm loving it.

One thing I would like to point out is that there is wrong pictures on the officers. The guy called "Weapons officer" is now featuring the gunner who just hangs at the back of the boat. Should feature the face of the guy who has only one eye since hw is the XO of the boat handling firing solutions etc with the captain.

[Athlonic]

Is this mod compatible with More Crew Commands?

Yes

Some commands like depth under keel and weather report will trigger twice if you use the officer bar order instead of dialogs.
Nothing dramatic.

[Krauter]

Excellent; is your Mod compatible with Mighty Fine Crew?

Very nice mod !

thanks :up:

figured out how to set mast height independant of dial.....time to get rid of the dial and add something more user friendly (or even automated) :rock:

Way to celebrate your 3.000th post! :woot:

Im new to this mod thing , but i read your installiation instructions i think and it isnt working for me. Some of the mods you included are working and some arnt , and i cant get yours to work. I extracted to my MODS folder , opened the folder clicked on the mods folder in your folder i downloaded and copied all of those MODS in your MODS folder in my SH5 MODS folder and it wont work. :(

read post #1 of this thread. At the very top of the post it tells you how to correctly install this mod. The documentation provided with the mod tells you how to also.

[kylania]

You don't want them all, usually just two of them. The main mod folder NewUIs_TDC_2_3_0_ByTheDarkWraith and a TDC option like NewUIs_TDC_2_3_0_MinimalDials_TDC

Just copy those two folders to your MODS folder, and enable them via JSGME. Once that's working you can investigate the other folder options or change the settings for the mod.

[milky]

Worked thank you , the main file was embedded in the big file. I was activating the BIG file instead of the Min Dials , and the the regular file. (If that makes sense lol)

one step closer to automated mast height input :rock: When you click on the 'use stadimeter' in the XO TDC dialog box it finds the ship's name.......that's all currently but that was a major step. Now that I have the name I can get the rest of the info......Then it will set the mast height, then let you use the stadimeter to get the range.

Wow major step indeed I would say, if you get automated without the use of the dial that's not just a major step but one small step for mankind. :salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

well here's how this is going to have to work for now: I need a file that I can open and read that will allow me to cross-reference the name of the ship found to the actual ship in the \Silent Hunter 5\data\Sea folder. Then I can open up the .cfg file for that ship and read the Mast value to set the mast height. Right now I'm trying to figure out how the game came up with the ship name 'Liberty Cargo'. I look through the entries and none have an exact name of that :hmmm:

I have been using the dotted lines shooting... this manual targeting looks really sweet. I really need to start doing it. The immersion factor is 100x higher than -line up the numbers, press fire- technique.

I've been so limited because if it's past my '3' it's a wild guess and I just don't shoot. Manual targeting lets me really get out there and touch someone from a longer distance.

I have a question: i noticed that my u boot cant keep depth i set if i'm running slow. And i'f i set a depth manually the sub stop the immersion at 10-20 meters below the depth i set...
Is this a known issue? Maybe there is already a mod for that?

Sorry for noob question,but i reinstalled SH5 and i'm going crazy with all these mods...

Amazing. I'm really impressed by your modding qualities. :rock: If you can find the time for a minor change in the heading indicator read-out. When I mouse over it the heading is shown like for instance: 320.0000 in stead of 320.

No big deal, but a minor thing for you're skills.

[brixia91]

hi all guys,,,this seems a very good mod...but i don't understand how to install it =// i'm not english so it's difficult for me to read well,,,but i tryed to follow the instructions on the first page... i did this

" Navigate to where you unzipped the mod to and open it up. Select the 'MODS' folder and right click on it. Select copy. Navigate to your '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\' folder and open it up. Right click in an empty area and select paste. Enable 'NewUIs_TDC_2_3_0_ByTheDarkWraith' via JSGME FIRST. Then enable your preferred TDC style then enable any additional add-on mods you want (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default) "

but i don't understand if i must do also this

" PLEASE READ THE NOTES FOLLOWING THESE - YOU HAVE TO SETUP THE OPTIONS FILE BASED ON TDC MODE SELECTED
Add-on mods for this mod are located in the folder '\MODS'. Currently the following add-on mods are available:
- 'NewUIs_TDC_2_3_0_AllDials_TDC' - enables all dials for TDC NOTE: ensure TDCMode = TDCMinimalDials in options file

there's no option file,,, where's it..?? what have i to do..heeeelp me plssss =(((((

You will find that at first (1939-early 1940's) that your crew is very green. Assigning a depth, they will often under or overshoot it by a good 10 meters. Later on in the war they will stop to withing 1-2 meters of the depth you set.

Also, when submerged deeper then 40 meters (I found) and at 1/3 (again early war) you will slowly sink to the bottom. However as the war goes on this becomes less of an issue. It might also be from the crew upgrades (as I had navigator and Mechanic maxed out on passive ones) but I'll know when I get to 1941 in my new career :) 100% Realism (with cams) and no abilities is the way to go :yeah:

anyway..did u restart a new game after installing this mod?

[kylania]

There is a mod in the Download section to remove the 1-2-3 shooting if you find it cumbersome or not realistic..

Why not just turn on manual targeting in the options, or at the very least turn on the TDC while in game? Both methods will "turn off" the 1-2-3 circles (and auto targeting) allowing uncluttered manual targeting.

If you're using auto targeting I'm not sure why you'd turn off the 1-2-3, and if you're not using auto targeting you shouldn't see the numbers. :DL


anyway..did u restart a new game after installing this mod?

Nope, this mod should work with saved games as well. If you're NOT seeing it make sure you copied the right folders from within the 7Zip file to the MODS folder in game as shown in this link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1392263&postcount=2

[Krauter]

As I started with Auto-Target, they were there most of the time. Afterwards I just got annoyed with them and found out the way to target past the '3' reticule (which is covered in one of the TDC stickies).

I left the Mod in my activated Mods list and when I did the transition from auto to manual I didn't know if they would stay so I left it :)

already send you my comment on this.

[TheDarkWraith]

I've 'future proofed' the code that reads all the files to get the mast heights for the ships. As new ships are added/removed it will accomodate those changes. It reads all this information at game start also.

[TheDarkWraith]

can someone with a default install of SH5 using a 32bit OS tell me their registry key path for SH5? For Win 64bit it is:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\S ilent Hunter 5\

I need where it's found in a 32bit OS version. I need to read a registry key in order to find the files needed for reading the mast height. Every person installs SH5 to different folders thus I have to read registry to get the installdir.

I had a good break-through happen with it yesterday and after that it was just a matter of writing the code to access the files on the user's computer to read the data the mod needs to determine mast heights.
If any ships don't have entries or their files were corrupt then you'll see mast height as 0.0 for them. We need to make a log of which ships those are so we can fix them. I've found one already.

I have the correct entries for 32bit and 64bit users already coded in.

When you identify the ship are you opening the XO's recognition manual and checking the check box for the correct ship? If you don't check the checkbox then the correct mast height will not be used. I guess I could add some code that automatically updates the mast height if you issue the command identify target and never open up the XO's recognition manual.

[Lopo]

I'll fix the code to read the correct location for 32bit OS users. I run 64bit OS so I didn't know where to find the correct value I was looking for in 32bit OS registry. I'll issue a bugfix for this soon.

Thank you very much.

[PL_Cmd_Jacek]

When you identify the ship are you opening the XO's recognition manual and checking the check box for the correct ship? If you don't check the checkbox then the correct mast height will not be used. I guess I could add some code that automatically updates the mast height if you issue the command identify target and never open up the XO's recognition manual.

TheDarkWraith, first thanks a lot for the mod.

But problem with zero mast height is also at me. I do, as you told. I click on recognition manual and check a box, but no value is transfered to TDC. I clicked several times without any effect. Sometime value is transfered but most time no.

What I also noticed, that icon for following the target is not active. Why ???

Look at the screen

[TheDarkWraith]

In order for mast height to be automatically entered you must:

- have a contact locked
- XO TDC must be turned on
- open up the XO TDC dialog box and select the correct ship


Does it appear to be a language issue with the automatic mast height? Are any english users having any problems with mast height data being automatically entered?

[PL_Cmd_Jacek]

TheDarkWraith, until the problem is solved, could you reactivate or tell how to reactivate height mast value manual setting ?

[furby]

thats what happens to me too...same set up

[Jander]

TDW, I am quite sure it is a language thing.
I did not do extensive testing, but up to now, all ships which have german umlauts in their names result in mast height 0 - ships without umlauts work.

And see the example of PL_Cmd_Jacek, the polish language is full of special characters - maybe nearly all ship names in polish contain some ´ and ` and whatsoever.

That's it !

Roster name are langage localized, I've got 0m masts prob here too.

I think if use the name before the = it should be fine.

That's the step there that's causing me problems. I'll lock a ship, shift-I to identify it, then click on Range and it'll be locked at 20m or whatever the last ship I ranged was. It isn't till you open the rec manual, flip all the way over to the ship in question (what I wanted to avoid by using Shift-I :O:) then it'll update the proper mast height.

So it was working, I was just Doing It Wrong™.

I would suggest some way of updating it without having to open the specific req manual page. If only that thing opened to ID'd ship page rather than whatever arbitrary start page it has.

[caine007]

Ok I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit. English (Australian?) version.

I started up the warspite mission... got one of the German DD's in my scope, locked the target and then clicked Identify Ship in the weapon officers menu.

He says it's a Z34.

I then click range and it says the mast height is 20m which is wrong.

Then if I go back and click on Z34 to see the ID book, scroll through to the Z34 entry and click it off then back on - now when I go to use the stadimeter the mast height is zero. From that point on no matter what I do the mast height for any ship is zero.

I'm trying to make that happen (not having to open the specific rec manual page) but due to the way I made this work it's not easy to implement that. I don't give up though......there's always a solution it's just not obvious yet.

I am having the same problem as described by caine007 above.
Not only that but Ubi did something in the patch 1.2 that also effects targeting causing some torpedo types to miss by more then a boat length. I tried the MOD that disables the torpedo speed ability but I am still having problems with the Type III and Type IX Torpedo's missing and the Type IX is a homing torpedo. Go figure.
P.S. I am running Vista 32. I should drop Vista 64 in to take advantage of the other 5 GIG of RAM not being used or do the REG hack to access it with the 32 bit OS.

Hi TDW,

Have you noticed that "Large Steamer" seems to be missing from the rec manual?

that and some others also because Ubi disabled them from the rec manual in patch 1.2 :nope:. This needs to be fixed but just haven't got around to it.

[speedbird]

That's ok mate, I though it was me going mad...:03:

[TheDarkWraith]

I was going to add this in the next version of the mod but since we have what appears to be a language dependency problem with the mast heights I've had to make this now. I've added the ability to edit the mast height using an edit box. You click on the mast height and then you can type in the mast height for the target. You have to click Accept for the new mast height to take affect. Clicking Exit makes no changes. Clicking edit lets you re-edit the mast height if you made an error.

NOTE: when editing the mast height value you effectively put some parts of the game on pause. If you have follow target enabled it will NOT be updated and following the target while editing the mast height. As soon as you stop editing the mast height the follow target will re-acquire and re-follow the target it was following.

I've also found a way to set the mast height when using WEPS-->Identify target (or similar key command used). When the identify target command is issued there will be a slight delay before the mast height is updated. You do not have to have a target selected in the rec manual to use the identify target and have the mast height set.

You also now do not have to have a target selected in the rec manual to change/edit the mast height for the currently selected target in your scope.

I'll be issuing a new complete bug fix revision for this (v2.4.1) due to the amount of changes and files effected. I'll have that ready here very shortly. Just have to package up and upload.

I still have to resolve the language dependency problem with the mast heights. I hope to have that resolved here soon also.

Thank you so much. I ve just tested it and works perfect. I can manually adjust the mast height.

Another question. When I command Crash Dive during being submerged, my boat is going to surface :o. When I am on surface, crash dive works good. Is this an issue, I only have ? It happened also on previous version.

[Stepe47]

hmmmm... when I connect to Ubi server my version is still 1.1.5
should I go and search for the 1.2 patch, then apply it myself or it's applied only over a fresh unmodded SH5 installation??

Do you have any other mods enabled? If so, have you disabled them all except the UIs mod and tried it again to see if the problem still exists?

[kylania]

Minor bug, but when you bring up the stopwatch you can't close it with the little 'x' button on it, it just pops right back up. This appears to be due to the officer bar thinking the watch is active (it's highlighted yellow). Clicking any of the officer's watch buttons will close it, as well hitting a key mapped to 'toggle watch'. Just not the lil 'x' on the watch itself. Minor in the grand scheme of things, but might cause some confusion. :DL

There are ships ingame that look alike in the recognition manual. That makes it difficult to identify. After patch 1.2 we dont have multiple entries of those ships in the rec. manual. Large steamer is an example. Another example would be large european liner, patroclos ship and queen mary (They are using the same photos for different ships)

Taking a reading from the standimeter is resetting other TDC settings previously set. Is that supposed to happen?

I'll preset the AoB and Speed from my observations, then go to check range with the now working standimeter and speed and AoB will have been reset.

[LeBabouin]

It seem there's no problems to write the mastheights keymap or whatever it's called in python, with a key containing a special char :

http://anubis.clan.free.fr/images/mastheights.JPG

so I would bet that's the reading that's causing problems. Maybe you could have one more param, numeric, in rostersea : params = [ classname[ 1 ], classname[ 0 ], n ], then, at display time, get the correspondancy between unit[0] and unit[2] and read mastheights[unit[2]] instead of mastheights[unit[0]] ?

[TheDarkWraith]

It seem there's no problems to write the mastheights keymap or whatever it's called in python, with a key containing a special char :

It's an encoding problem which I knew all along. I'm using python to read the files and python's default encoding is ASCII (just read about). I have to use .NET to read the files which is what I'm trying now since it's default encoding is UTF-8 (StreamReader).

The sonar guy seems to be stupid now, and I think it might be the 1.2 patch? I'll get contact lines, and TC will drop, but I get no message box or voice confirmation of sound contact. Using the "report nearest" does give message box, but not the voice response? Anyone else seeing this?

He's all crazy, and I'm not sure exactly how. He finally started calling out contacts, but randomly it almost seemed and not all of them.

Of course, having a 30 ship convoy spawn within hydrophone range probably blew out his eardrums, but still! :O:

[kylania]

Is it possible to hide the exclamation mark and/or the binocular crosshairs?

The patrol objectives exclamation mark is hidden by default (except for during the tutorial), it's also toggleable from the expanded button bar at the top. Make sure you're using version 2.4.1 and not an earlier version that didn't include that feature.

Not sure where the binocular cross hair is called from, so not sure about that.

I have this impression too, but later I remembered that I actually started a new campaign and I didn't yet spend any promotion point on my sonar passive detection abilities. Thereas on my old campaign he was full promoted.
Maybe it has something to do with his bad competence right now, time will tell.

It should from the looks of things. Try lowering your scope all the way down and then back up and see if that works.

EDIT:

I see why. You don't have a currently selected officer......how's that? You have an order category bar visible.....?? Click on WEPS to select him again and see what happens.

Did you experience the strange bug some versions back where you weren't able to select an officer?

I selected WEPS several times without any effects on the icon. In the past it worked good. I am not able to tell you if it was before the bug or after (probably before). I've checked some previous version of your mod. 2.2.1 (the same behaviour).

Unfortunatelly older one were for 1.1.5, and now with patch 1.2 I received CTD after installing them

I test your mod without any other one.

I'm looking into something that might be causing the problem.

I'm not sure but I seem to have lost some tool tips on some of the buttons in the officer menus. I think in previous versions they all had one. Is it only me?

I might have a conflict with some other mod. If you can point out what file these tool tips are in I could check if I've somehow overwritten them although I sort of doubt it 'cause then I shouldn't have no tool tips at all.

anyhow, thanks for the great mod and keep up the good work!

which ones are missing? The strings are referenced from \data\Menu\menu.txt

Ok wierd...the game had been running for more than 24h or so...restarted it and tooltips are back.

Sorry about that.

Curious bug though...maybe something goes haywire when you minimize the game once too much or just leave it running too much...not that it would be an easy bug to reproduce.

[TheDarkWraith]

I know it when I click on my moving officer to open the dialog window. In the top right corner theres a red text 'wounded' and the orders are greyed out (I´m not able to chose an order). I thought that the officer icon would change when this happens.

Think I finally tracked down the bug for this. I'm sending it out to some people for testing and am awaiting their feedback on it.

I would still like some more people to test this bug. If your officer icons never show wounded when the associated officer is wounded and you would like to test this please PM me.

[TheDarkWraith]

added a new user option that lets you control the visibility of the TAI map at game start. Also added a toggle that controls the visibility of the TAI map to the map tools bar:

Not sure if this is a bug with your mod or just the game but I had SH5 CTD when I clicked Identify from the torpedo officers menu when I was locked on to what looked like a troop ship.

Since then I've clicked identify on troop ships again with no crash (it's just called them a Troop Ship) but those have been ordinary 'Huge European Liners' on visual confirmation.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to visually identify the ship that made me CTD but the convoy make up looked like it might have been one of the armed merchant cruisers like the Rawalpindi. (was just the troop ship and another transport, no escorts. From memory the last time I saw a convoy like that the troop ship was definitely a Rawalpindi)

Win 7, 64 bit. Version 2.41, Minimal Dials SH5 UI.

POSSIBLE BUG

When I click on the Impact or Magnetic detonation switch I get two verbal confirmations for each mode as well as two combat log entries Same goes for Salvo or Single Tube switch. The switches seem to function fine other than this.

Cheers again. Great work!

[furby]

great work DW...this is turning into a supermod!

[Manny]

DW - Many thanks for your work on this UI Supermod, it's very much appreciated. I only installed it a few days ago because i wanted to wait and see what the new patch did first.

Can i ask for a feature change request for the next release?

What do you reckon to adding the existing "Show TDC Dials" icon to the user notifications menu & toggle on/off from there. Keeps everything nice and tidy then.

Once again many thanks!!

I don't understand what you're asking. A screenshot showing the changes/additions would help.

[Scurvy Dog]

DW -This is such a masterful response to the original interface of SH5,
that I have no unique superlatives to express my appreciation and gratefulness for your creativity and dedication to this project except to add my voice to the chorus of Awe and Respect... :salute:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Damn the new additions look good :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

I have a vision of what I want the UI of SH5 to look like/function. In time I will accomplish my goal.

Now can someone explain to me how to use this new sunrise/moon thing with the new version of ottos chalkboard? I can make/add anything but it does me no good if I don't understand why/how it works and what it's supposed to do :doh: Is there anything that could be enhanced/changed/added in it?

With this addon you know how many hours you have to wait till it gets dark for example. So you can follow a convoy at day and attack at night.

[darkfin]

Thanks Man. This is just my opinion...

I dont know if this happened after patch, or after downloading queen mary mission, but the dds image of this ship has changed.

that part I understood but why does he have a piece of chalk that when clicked takes you to a screen where you input the latitude and longitude and time offset? Shouldn't that be updated automatically or am I missing something here :hmmm: I added an update button to that screen that when pressed will input your current lat and long into the boxes.

There was a two mast "Huge European Liner" that shipped with the game that was a placeholder until you downloaded the Queen Mary mission from UPlay. For some reason however the 1.2 patch downloaded the upgraded QM skin for everyone.

I believe it is updated. Maybe it is there for searching other regions. Example: I am in Kiel and want to know the day-night time of mid atlantic.
