The MaGui mod (Manos Gui mod) - Final version
-----------------------------------------------------------
UPDATED: 20/11/2010

MaGui F
----------
This is the final version of MaGui.After about two years working on the Olc's gui (Olc gui 127 was the base) i ,gladly, presenting you now the final version of MaGui.



Many FAQ questions ,such as how the RAOBF wheels work (for example,look at post 413) ,are allready answered in this thread.



note1: ''MaGui F'' is NOT a patch for any previous versions.remove the previous version and install the last one.DON'T mix things with previous versions !

note2: it is included (in .rar) the ''FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui F'' that is making ''MaGui F'' compatible with the Flakmonkey & DD's interior mod([REL] Fm_NewInteriors v1.0... (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162631)).read its readme carefully for the proper installation.
and the ''CT_FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui F'' that is making ''MaGui F'' compatible with the Lucagaeta's Open Conning Tower mod([REL]Full open the Conning Tower Hatch 0.9.3 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159772)).read its readme carefully for the proper installation.

note3: Also, included , three sets of filters (green-yellow-red) for the scopes and binoculars (jsgme ready) and some other stuff to explore...

note4: For the gwx3 players only : Always use the ''TMT v2'' mod with MaGui.
For the NYGM players only : Always use the ''TMT -NYGM version'' mod with MaGui .

note5: At the start options of game ,you must have the ''Manual Targeting System'' CHECKED and the ''No Weapon Officer Assistance'' UNCHECKED.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MaGui mod was a non stop effort to make a gui which will not 'compromise' anything. the ''so...so'' solutions has no place in MaGui.everything in MaGui has been done with extreme attention to detail and to the higher,as possible, level of accuracy to everything.every dial ,every tool and the optics (you just experience the real view of objects looking through MaGui's optics) are made and checked with care and passion.
MaGui's top priority is the manual targeting so this mod is not recommended to players that are not familiar with manual targeting.However,you can find at optionals files a mini mod that enables the weapon's officer ability to give you the torpedo solution data for the target.


i wish to all of you huppy hours with sh3+MaGui

and i want to specially give thanks (and congratulations) to:

Skwasjer for his amazing (the best tool ever made) S3d tool and to JScones for his amazing ''JSGME'' tool.
*Without these two tools a lot of mods (not only MaGui) will never have been built !
and to
Onelifecrisis for his OLC GUI 127.MaGui mod is builted on OLC's amazing gui
and to
Karamazovnew-Carotio for the code about the working tdc button (One of the best additions in game!)



CREDITS

Wonderful! Still better.

Not sure about the rusty look for me, but the dials' used look, pointer and other features are really good. This GUI is the top for me. Thanks!

If only you could do a Luca's "Conning Tower Open Hatch" fix... I guess it is better to wait to a FM_NI compatible/final version of Luca's mod before make a fix for this. But I can't wait!

[comet61]

Everything is great except that the Salvo Selector Mod doesn't seem to work. Loaded per instructions and did a few other type tweaks to no avail. I haven't tried the type II one yet. Tried loading in various different orders with the other mods (FM, Stealth, MEP, etc...). Not sure. Made sure that the directories were correct. Tried the type XXI, IX and VII. No go....

But I do like the new look. The other fixes and mods are working great. Love the giant compass...!!:yeah:

[Buck_O]

Love it! thanks Makman94:up:

[Rubini]

As always a very good mod!
Thanks mate!:up:

Just downloaded, loaded the type 7 salvo, worked fine. Hate to ask the obvious, but did you select the salvo switch?

A question for you. Do you know if MaGui 3 will work with Anvarts new mod.
GWX_DFa-Flags&Pens_2010, plus Patch_compat_2_DD_OH_V3.09 and if so what install order would you recommend?

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=165617 ...

I'm currently trying it out & it seems to work fine except I cant get the pennants to raise (yes I'm tryng it while only in port). Below is the order I installed

DD_OH_3.09
GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010
Anvart FM30_UpDown_final
MaGui 3
Patch_compat_2_DD_OH_V3.09
FM_NI_Fix_for_Magui 3

Top notch stuff mate, had a feeling a v3 would be out. Reworking my zoom and aob disc mod to inlude the observation periscope aob disc instead of olc's attack scope aob disc.

[comet61]

OK...Got it fixed. Folder SNAFU....:damn:

[Pisces]

Makman94:

What things did you change in the language files? I understand from the readme/install you only worked with the english language files? German (and French) won't work correctly? What could happen if I have the german language files selected in the options? If it is not too much work I'll see if I can make the corrections (for German only, sorry, my French skills are like 'Allo Allo' ).

[IFRT-WHUFC]

This was a widescreen version! but nevermind! Awesome Job Mate!

[KL-alfman]

thx for this great GUI, makman! :salute:

will load as soon as in port again.
hope, you don't mind that I posted one pic in the SH5-board.

thank you all guys !
i am really glad that you like it :up:

hi Darkbluesky, you can use the correspoding images from MaGui 2+ if you don't like the rusty panels.it is easy to customize your MaGui as the positions of items is not changed
about Luca's mod...the truth is that i am not following the development of all these mods . give me a link to its final version and i will look at it

thank you very much Pisces !:up:
if you play with german language ,the game simply use the german files (of gwx,nygm,wac,lsh3) and you will 'miss' some commands and some text phrases or panel's logos
the commands_de is not a problem although i am not sure about this. at some tests i made ,i had simply rename the commads_en to commands_de and all worked fine so i don't know why the game uses different files for the commands.can anyone confirm that it is ok to just rename the commads_en to commands_de ?
about the de_menu and de_help is not a problem for me to send you the changes i made at the english files(are not many) and see if you can adjust the german files.do you want me to send you the changes after all ?

This was a widescreen version! but nevermind! Awesome Job Mate!

Rick.

:DL......that needs a lot of time Rick (and not a job to be made by one) and i haven't study yet the changes that must be done at menu_ini
maybe...at the future ....

Hello Makman.
Let me tell you that this is a awesome mod.
One question I have, an that is: Is it possible to make a stand alone mod with that big chrono that can be used with other gui. I have 2 installs of SH3. One with your mod and another with Karamazovnew. I would like to use that big chrono with Kara's gui.
Thanks!

[Darkbluesky]

Thanks makman94. The link of Luca's mod is http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159772

I was starting to adapt it, but as I am pretty new to modding I am really slow and not very reliable ;). On the other hand I was thinking to put bak your Dark env. but keeping the new dials. Time to work a little with Photoshop...

[Pisces]

...do you want me to send you the changes after all ? ...Please do. PM on the way.

[Munchausen]

hi Darkbluesky, you can use the correspoding images from MaGui 2+ if you don't like the rusty panels.it is easy to customize your MaGui as the positions of items is not changed....

:cool: I was thinking of doing that very thing. Problem is, I'm not sure which images to swap out. Can you list them?

[Buck_O]

hi Buck_O,

go to files of ''FM_NI_Fix_for_Magui 3'' and open the commands_en.
find there the [Cmd418] and [Cmd429] and add the red lines like this:

no Bybyx....it is impossible to make it as a stand alone mod becuase it uses the menu_ini but what is possible to be done is to make a DIY walkthrough. but don't expect it soon becuase there are other priorities for me right now as to prepare the version for lsh3 v5 and the german versions of MaGui.
in the meantime send over a pm to Kara,as being the author of the gui you are using it will be much faster for him to import it

Thanks makman94. The link of Luca's mod is http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159772

will look at it asap(but don't expect it soon). is this its final version ? if not....better wait
in the meantime try it yourself .here is a thread that will help you: how to make your gui compatible with Flakmonkey & DD's mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162696&highlight=how+to+make+compatible)

Please do. PM on the way.

thats very easy to find out Munchausen ! navigate through the files of MaGui 3 and everytime you see an image with rust ....replace it with the correspoding image from bright MaGui 2+ or Dark MaGui 2+

Hey, Markmann:

I must say thanks, VERY,VERY MUCH, your MaGUI mods. I'm relatively new to SH3 -only 6 Mo-but have tried all the supermods and many other smaller mods. How could I missed yours for months? I've been testing your mods-from the original to the latest-including the optionals, reading txt/pdf docs and subsim's fora posts, watching tutorials, actually studying to learn all the marvelous tools included in your mods. I think they are a MUST for a serious, hardcore player-I'm still not in that category-for the historical accuracy and the inmersion level they provide to the player. I'm still learning, a bit confused with so many variants, but above all, ENJOYING IT A LOT!

I've searched but found no answer to this Q: are your mods compatible with DD's conning tower open hatch mod?

Re: Widescreen version of Magui...


:DL......that needs a lot of time Rick (and not a job to be made by one) and i haven't study yet the changes that must be done at menu_ini
maybe...at the future ....

I've been studying it for days. I'll be glad to help with this effort, since I'm attempting to do this for myself anyway. I've got the viewports nearly corrected for the uzo, obs and attack scope.

The uzo and obs accepted a straight formula (for instance new value for right viewport is (lVal * 1024/1365) + (rVal - lVal)) , but for some reason it didn't work with the attack scope. I've gotten that one close enough to be a single fat line.

The formula did also not work for the deck gun zoom, but I have not even started to look at that. This may take a while, but look at all that room...

(nearly) corrected attack scope
http://www.coolpup.com/silenthunter/test/attackscope.jpg

with the conning tower open hatch mod:
http://www.coolpup.com/silenthunter/test/openconninghatch.jpg

It's basically an introduction to modding for me... and still almost everything yet to learn! It probably took me 8 hours to get the red tdc button to go off the screen in the periscope view, lol.

So Makman, if you get the chance, I'll be happy to help, whenever you decide... I'm sure I'll still be working on it when you do. :DL I'm actually surprised nobody has this done already!

hi Munchausen,
yes...these are the images but not that the TDC.tga (the one that is in data\Menu\Gui\TDC ) can't be replaced by the previous one (you will 'miss' the correct -according to the real one tdc- dials for bearing and aob)

hi Flopper,

for the attack peri : your fault is that you didn't notice that the left value is not 0 so you must edit this value also .

the number '1365' that you mentioned is not correct . you must use the 1360 ( this is the number that it is in the dll right ? )

also at uzo...if you edited only the right value this is wrong too (notice that once you enter for first time the uzo is not pointing at zero now...right? )

here is how to adjust the viewport values :

example: at attack peri :

left=0,1230469 that give us 0,1230469x1024=126 pixels.
now, to find the new value you have to divide the pixels by 1360 ,
126/1360=0,092647 <-----this is the new value that you must set at left


right=0,6992188.......0,6992188x1024=716 pixels .....716/1360=0,5264705

so the values for the attack are : left=0,092647
right=0,5264705

you must do this to all viewports that you are looking through an 1024x768 image ( uzo ,obs ,bino ,attack ) .wherever you see the ''1'' at right value you must edit that too replacing it with 0,7529411 (1024/1360=0,7529411) but only at the screen which uses 1024x768 images.

you didn't have to spent your time(although this is good for you to learning moding) trying to 'dissapear' the red button as all these panels will be removed at the new edge of the screen so you have only to edit the menu_ini and just replace the corresponding items .


Flopper,this mod opens new ways in gui designs and if and when there is a MaGui 4 for widescreen will not be the same as MaGui 3.


@ Rubini : i have two problems with the widescreen mod.
1. it doesn't 'full' the monitor ...leaving a pretty big black frame around the game's screen.
2. i have the feeling that in the game's screen [which is 'small' ] the images are a little bit stretched.i can't take a pic to show you what i mean becuase when i look at the pic everything looks normal (no black frame around the game's screen and no stretched images) but it is not so in-game.
is there anything i can do for that ?

[Magic1111]

note3: the version for LSH v5 will be released soon





Hi makman !

Sorry for my question :oops:, but "When is soon" ? :D :yep:

Best regards,
Magic:salute:

[Flopper]

for the attack peri : your fault is that you didn't notice that the left value is not 0 so you must edit this value also .


I adjusted both left and right values, using a formula approach (I noticed the values had remained unchanged from the original OLC mod) but it was still way off.



the number '1365' that you mentioned is not correct . you must use the 1360 ( this is the number that it is in the dll right ? )


This is the number in the dll, correct, but exactly 16:9 is 1365 x 768. Also, I get a CTD if I don't use 1365 for my resolution. I can try the 1360 number and see how that works with the formula.



also at uzo...if you edited only the right value this is wrong too (notice that once you enter for first time the uzo is not pointing at zero now...right? )


No, I entered both values and it's perfect. I was not clear in my previous post, and only gave the right value as an example.



here is how to adjust the viewport values :

example: at attack peri :

left=0,1230469 that give us 0,1230469x1024=126 pixels.
now, to find the new value you have to divide the pixels by 1360 ,
126/1360=0,092647 <-----this is the new value that you must set at left


right=0,6992188.......0,6992188x1024=716 pixels .....716/1360=0,5264705

so the values for the attack are : left=0,092647
right=0,5264705


Perhaps it's my hardware, but using these values for the attack scope puts the "center" at quite a few degrees to port. The values I have now are left=0.1375 and right=0.4795.


Flopper,this mod opens new ways in gui designs and if and when there is a MaGui 4 for widescreen will not be the same as MaGui 3.


Yes, I'm sure, but I must have magui on widescreen, and can't wait! :haha: Also, as you mentioned, just for the experience.



@ Rubini : i have two problems with the widescreen mod.
1. it doesn't 'full' the monitor ...leaving a pretty big black frame around the game's screen.
2. i have the feeling that in the game's screen [which is 'small' ] the images are a little bit stretched.i can't take a pic to show you what i mean becuase when i look at the pic everything looks normal (no black frame around the game's screen and no stretched images) but it is not so in-game.
is there anything i can do for that ?

If you are using nVidia, you'll need to use nVidia scaling to fill the screen. There is a problem with some ATI cards I believe where the images get streched, but vertically (egg shaped).

[Munchausen]

hi Munchausen,
yes...these are the images but not that the TDC.tga (the one that is in data\Menu\Gui\TDC ) can't be replaced by the previous one (you will 'miss' the correct -according to the real one tdc- dials for bearing and aob)

:up: Thanks for the correction, Makman. I'll put that one (version 3) TDC file back where it belongs.

Once again Thanks for your great Mod Ijust started a new mission with it in place I think the graphics and interface is superlative. I really like the big compass.

I have one question that may have been addressed before. Am I able to use SH Commander's sabatoge and malfunction selection while using your mod? Thanks in advance, and sorry if I am old ground.

If you are using nVidia, you'll need to use nVidia scaling to fill the screen. There is a problem with some ATI cards I believe where the images get streched, but vertically (egg shaped).

I would say that this would happen on the previously standard 16:10 monitors because 1366*768 is the 16:9 resolution which leaves you with black bars on top and bottom if the aspect ratio is maintained. The standard 16:10 resolution would be 1280*800, but I guess it's too much work and I don't mind the black bars (with 4:3 1024*768 I had much bigger black bars to the left and right, anyway).
The Nvidia Control Panel contains the option like Force Aspect Ratio or something which works rather well, but I'm not sure what it looks like on ATI.

i am really glad that you like it :up:

hi Buck_O,

go to files of ''FM_NI_Fix_for_Magui 3'' and open the commands_en.
find there the [Cmd418] and [Cmd429] and add the red lines like this:

[Cmd418]
Name=DGuns_Update_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x22,Cc,"Ctl+PgDn"
Key1=0x22,C,"PgDn"
Key2=0x21,C,"PgUp"

[Cmd429]
Name=AAGuns_Update_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x21,Cc,"Ctl+PgUp"

your installation order is:
1.GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010
2.FM30_UpDown_final
3.DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038
4.FM_NewInterior_V1.0
5.FM_NI_Fix_for_Anvart_FM30_UpDown
6.MaGui 3
7.FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3 (with the edited by you commands_en)

i didn't test it ,just looked at the files so tell me if it worked


Makman94

I was was thinking over my JSGME mod list & I was wondering why you say I don't need to install ( Patch_compat_2_DD_OH_V3.09 )?

The reason I ask is that w/ MaGui 3.1 everthing seems to work fine at this point ( haven't tested it extensively yet, I have not been in port to try pennant) , & I was thinking over things wondering if I must do the above changes ( in red ) to MaGui 3.1

[Buck_O]

Makman94

Ok, I started mission from port. Everything checks out great!!, with MaGui 3.1. Still I'm courious as to why I dont need to install "Patch_compat_2_DD_OH_V3.09"?

hi Buck_O,

becuase it contains files that will be overwritten by the ''FM_NI fix for MaGui'' .have in mind ,that the game 'reads' only the last installed at your mod list and as these files are allready in the ''FM_NI fix for MaGui'' ,there is no need to run "Patch_compat_2_DD_OH_V3.09" at all .

[CybaGirl]

First of all would like to say this is an awesome mod and I love the way it changes everything in SH3. It brings new life to the game and is simply fantastic! So thank you so much for creating it :D.

I do have one question though and it is probably a lazy question more than anything :). But I was wondering is there anyway or anything I can do to enable the range of a ship to be shown to me on the Periscope and UZO screens like in the stock game?

As the notepad just has a ship on it and a tick. I noticed sometimes this tick went red but I am unsure what it meant. But no range distance is ever displayed on the notepad.


So I am just wondering if there is a way I can get the range to be displayed on the notepad?

Thanks.

[comet61]

Has anyone noticed that when in the Obs Periscope view that the Gyro dial when turning the scope "sticks" then skips? If I turn the scope to the left and hit about 340° the gyro dial stops while I keep turning the scope than jumps to about 240° and continues then does it again as I turn a full 360°? Odd. :06:

[Magic1111]

Yes, I agree with this ! That would be great if that were possible, that I have the range on the notepad ! Makman, is it possible ??? :hmmm:

hello CybaGirl,

i guess that you use MaGui with manual targeting OFF. well , MaGui is designed for manual targeting (must be checked at your options) other way a lot of MaGui's stuff will not be fuctional (like the aob wheels or the tdc-torpedo settings panel at obs peri )
BUT, if you still want to use MaGui with manual targeting OFF ,then the range that you are looking for is always showing on the range dial at tdc (right bottom dial at tdc on peri and uzo page). when you point your scope to the target ,you will notice that the dial is showing you automatically the range

hi Comet,

gyroangle is working only for angles -95,+95 ,other than these angles ...you don't have a solution for the target so you don't look at the dial

The MaGui 3.1 mod (Manos Gui -v3.1)
---------------------------------------------

================================================== ===============
last update on 14/4/2010 (a patch for MaGui 3.1)
---------------------------------------------------

MaGui 3.1-patch
-----------------


changings-addings
-------------------

1.replace the torpedo's icons (at obs peri ). now the icons are above the periscope.that way ,we can look and use them when the torpedo settings-tdc panel is locked on view. I like that.

2.tweaks at dragable nomograph so ,now you can draw lines on top of it.you can 'grab' and place it on screen only by its wooden part on the upper(thanks to Karamazovnew-Hitman for this 'solution').
the printed one navmap nomograph is removed. A must to have 4me.

3.correcting some tiny inaccuracies at depth's,shallow depth's and speed's dials. I took note of this- sometimes up to 2°! So this is another welcome change.
4.the 'pointer' at the small compass (the one that show up with the other dials for speed and depth-and why not that in the huge compass?) is now directly linked to the bearing of scopes. that way is showing to you imediatelly the relative to North bearings so there is no need for the player to move the pointer anymore. This is GREAT!

can be found at my FF page. Downloading, THANKS AGAIN MKN!
================================================== ===============


UPDATED: 5/4/2010
playing the game , i thought that it will be more handy to change the torpedoes settings-tdc's panel at Obs peri from sliding to a clicable one. now, the panel has a button (the handle that you see at the right of screen) ,clic on it and the panel will show up and stay locked there.that way we are able, always, to see tdc's dials at obs peri too.
clicing again on the panel's handle will take it out of view.

addings-changes to previous version
-------------------------------------
1.changing the diameter of obs periscope and the 'look' of it to be more 'close' to the original one (based on photo's infos from Hitman). Is this change to a smaller or larger diameter? I really love that large diameter!
2.changing the torpedo settings-tdc panel from sliding to clicable in order to stay locked on view.
3.adds at obs periscope a rounded dial for the gyroangle made by FLB Sale`s ( the digital gyro is removed). I'll love this. Definitively, I don't like digitals...Is it possible to elimitate the digital clock in the bottom panel and to convert it to analog? Actually, other than the time X settings, I prefer not to look at the left-hand side of this panel. For a greater inmersion I make all of my reading on the instruments...
4.replacing the dragable nomograph with a new one made by Fader Berg.
also , Fader Berg's nomograph is now printed on navmap's paper
5.reworked images for the shortcut's,map tool's and officer's icons(the outlines are based on images made by Naights)





I love your work, Markman!

Regards, rea00cy

[IFRT-WHUFC]

Great work again Makman!! :yeah:

Can you possibly fix the Compass.tga, Line.tga, Protractor.tga and Square.tga so that 0 degrees or North are at the top when in use kind of looks a bit weird when N is S ie at the bottom! After all N is always at the top of the screen!

ok

Rick

That's the way it is supposed to be.
If you use one of those tools, click on a point on your map and draw a line toward the bottom of your map. Where the line crosses the compass gives you a "true" course, in this case 180 if you go straight down.
Confusing at first, but it works and that's the way the tools are supposed to work.

:)

[comet61]

That's the way it is supposed to be.Yup...this is true. This eliminates having to subtract or add 180° if the tools had 0° on top. Of course the drag-able compass/protract. tool on the map is opposite. Basically that is for you to help set course or find a course with a known line. :DL

[IFRT-WHUFC]

but in reality a compass needle always points to North therefore a real navigator would need to add/subtract anyway to find the true bearing so IMO it makes no sense being set that way!

thanks
Rick

[comet61]

The tools in the Navmap are basically for tracking and finding targets if not pinpointing true course and their position. Yes..you'll need a compass that points true north, however, having the tools "upside down" eliminates the calculation process when getting a bearing to target from your position. Also, these are plotting tools, not necessarily used to find where you are, but the target. If you really want to go hardcore use the sextant in Magui. That tool is used to find where you are on the map.

[makman94]

but in reality a compass needle always points to North therefore a real navigator would need to add/subtract anyway to find the true bearing so IMO it makes no sense being set that way!

Rick

hi Rick,
i am not a sailor but i guess that in reality they didn't draw lines been like a 'rope' extended it or moving it up or down on map.i guess that they had a special tool for making parallel lines , a diabetes and an angle tool.
these tools are made so (rotaded 180 degrees ) just to make your life easier and i really don't see the point to make them the other way and have always to add 180 degrees.
but if you still like to have the 0 degrees up it is very simple to make them so...open the images with a graphic programme and rotate them by 180 degrees

[makman94]

I love your work, Markman!

Regards, rea00cy

hi Rea00cy,

not sure what you mean with the digital clock but there is no space for a rounded clock at the console.if you mean to make the hour appearing on the dragable stopwatch (like sh4 style) well, this may be possible but i think that this clock will be confusing (with all these needles speaning around). one question: do you really ever look at the time there ?

about the pointer of huge compass : read the readme ...it will answer all your questions

about the diameter of obs scope : i didn't change it at this last patch.you can see the scope at the first post

On the other hand, Markman has created a a "FM-NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3" mod that according to some post # 22 in this thread addresses most of those incompats; with the exception of those related to the CT Open Hatch mod (those related to Urfisch's are .tga files, not so important. Am I right? If not forgive my ignorance)
Here's is another capture showing JSGME warnings while enabling this last fix:

[Darkbluesky]

Hello makman94, I have seen the update 3.1 and wanted to congratulate you. There are quite some things I like very much, but on the other hand I have some questions:

1- I didn't know that the obs scope had these "black bars" on top and bottom of it, was it as that IRL? I wonder if it is a mask, and so if maybe, could I remove it myself (even if it becomes less realistic)?

2- Maybe the size of the obs periscope is more correct, but I miss so much the big size of the MaGUI 3 version (I loved your big obs scope!). At side that it shows more, it felt so different from the attack one, it was so quick and easy to differentiate/identify from the attack scope for me... I really would like to put back the big obs scope but without lossing the last nice additions you has put into the 3.1 version. I wondered also if I could do it myself, if so could you point me to what needs to be changed, pls?

3-And last. The bearing indicator at the top, in the yellow rectangle, sure is a very nice feature because it allows you to see clearer the bearing (and probably more realistic?), but for me it breaks a little the color balance of periscope screen, it is too evident. So I guess I have 3 options, repaint the yellow thing with another, more discrete (maybe more unrealistic, though) color, the second one, to move the bearing indicator to other place and change color, but I don't know where it could go (there is no place with the big scope and I guess it'd make no sense to put it at a side), and the third one: still better (I prefer this one), to put it back as it was in the 3.0 version. Is it too difficult for me?

These are no critics, it is mainly my own taste and way of playing. Thank you sincerely for your really wonderful work and continued efforts!. When I first saw it I was in love with your UI and I don't look anymore to others.

Thanks

hi Rea00cy,

talking about compatibilities is an endless story ...
as i have said i will give you a 'fix' to make MaGui compatible with ''CT Open Hatch mod'' which i also believe is a great mod ! but i am just waiting the FINAL version of Lucagaeta's mod (also i am bit 'lost' at his thread and can't figure out what is its current version)
once he give us its final version i will release a the 'fix' for its mod
two files needs adjustments : the commands_en and the cameras.dat
if you can't wait and want to try make it yourself,i have made a thread giving instructions on how to make your gui (not only MaGui) compatible with these kind of mods ( the thread is called "how to make your gui compatible with FM_NI mod'' or something like that ...do a search)

I'm having a problem with both periscopes, the "crosshair"(for lack of the right term) is out of place I guess:

I only have Sh3+GWX and your gui 3.2 installed. Any ideas?

Thanks

This seems like a mod conflict. What have you enabled?

[SkyBaron]

This seems like a mod conflict. What have you enabled?

Hi geosub1978, I only have SH3 + GWX3 and MaGui 3.2 installed. I used JSGME to install/uninstalled two other GUIs (just to test them) but I disabled them before I installed MaGui. Maybe one of them wasn't uninstalled correctly and left a file somewhere? I've always enabled mods with JSGME and never edited or changed anything.

hi NewCaptain,

there is definetely something wrong at your installation . when you unzip the files did you had a warning that something was corrupted ? if yes then redownload the mod and reinstall it .

also , if you are using sh3 commander make sure that you have use the ''roll back'' button or something like that before you install MaGui.not sure though about this,as i am not using commander, so better read carefully sh3 commander's readme on how to properly install new mods

The left vertical and up horizontal scales don't belong to MaGui so, something has definitely remained after disabling.

[SkyBaron]

Thanks guys for the help. I went ahead and did a SH3 reinstall and everything works fine now. It was probably something left by another mod.

[Buck_O]

excellent job on MaGui 3.2 Markman94. I'm downloading it now:yeah:

[makman94]

ATTENTION !

for those who are using MaGui 3.2 ....delete it !

i am uploading right now the MaGui 3.2.1 which is correcting a tiny mistake at scopes that escaped at MaGui 3.2

[Assprella]

Thanks a lot Sir.

[java`s revenge]

With the latest version i have 2 horizontale lines, is that correct?

[geosub1978]

Noop!This shouldn't happen. Corrupted installation I guess like NewCaptain posts above.

[java`s revenge]

No it isn`t the same. Herefore i had the elder magui version..:hmmm:

edit; deactivated the magui + fm ni fix and after that activated firstly the
magui. All was okay and after that activated the fm ni fix and i got the 2 lines
back...

hi Java,
are you using the FM_NI fix of the current version of MaGui ? i mean that each version of MaGui has its own FM_NI fix.
if you run MaGui 3.2.1 you have to use the ''FM_NI fix for MaGui 3.2.1'' (older fixes will not work and will cause problems like this)
post a pic with the 'problem' will be more helpfull and also post a screen with your mod list (a screen ...don't named them)

So I just loaded Magui 3.2.1 and am a little confused. The attack scope view only goes to 6x, but-your text file states that the AoB wheel is set for 15x like Magui 3.1. Is this a goof or did you not update the text file for Manos Optics. Is the wheel to be read at 6x and multiply by 2.5 or not. Is there suppose to be a 15x?

I can edit the camera.dat myself if this is the case. Thanks!!

Hi Comet,

if you are 'missing' the x15 zoom that means that you have messed your installation .

i have allready told you once, to check the mods that you have enabled after MaGui and if jsgme is warning you about conflicts...disable them .

a rule when you want to check if something is wrong with a mod is to disable ALL mods and enable ONLY the one that you want to check .its the only way to have valid comments.do that to see if your 'problem' with MaGui insists .

also ,pay attention to that ''roll back'' thing for sh3 commander's users

there is nothing that you must edit at MaGui's files ,all are ok.

bye

[comet61]

Sorry...no other mods were loaded after Magui. I learned the lesson of loading anything after the initial load. I always roll back prior to new mods.

So I opened up the Camera.dat in the *.rar file. Guess what? Only 2 entries in the periscope Optics section: 1.5x and 6x...no 15x. I edited the lines and added the 15x. I went and checked the Obs scope optical parameters...it was OK. Why is this? I have no idea. There was no "cross-filing" that I am aware of. I keep all older versions in their separate folders to minimize confusion. Once de-activated via JGSME (Magui 3.1) I deleted all Magui files (older ones). SH Commander always rolls back after I am done in the sim. Then I load files usually 1 at a time. I have created a mission with nothing but the uboat and utilize the blank campaign mod to check all new mods. Magui 3.2.1 does work flawlessly, so no problem there. But on initial checking in the blank mission to make sure that Magui and it's add-ons were working I fiddled with the Attack scope and all I got was 1.5x and 6x....no 15x. I tripled checked it, made sure I was not mistaken. Just the 2 views in the attack scope. I did in fact switch over to the Obs scope to make sure I didn't have them backwards....nope. So, I checked it out for a few minutes before I wrote the post concerning the views in the attack scope.

Not here to create a problem. The problem is solved as far as I am concerned. Perhaps I got a "rogue" file, I don't know. Not sure what happened. On another note: I do in fact edit other files to suit my needs, but they are very minor.:06:

[java`s revenge]

I have took the fix from your website...

:hmmm:.....thats very strange Comet !

becuase i just downloaded the MaGui 3.2.1 and opened its cameras.dat
everything is ok in there ,i see three entries for the zooms.
you must open the cameras.dat of MaGui's files BEFORE you install it to see if it has three zooms.
DON'T open the cameras.dat from the data of silent hunter(after you have installed the mod) becuase if something is messed at your installation you will be not able to see the three zooms in there.now, if you did so, again i am telling you that your installation for MaGui is not correct and the only problem will possibly not be only that with the zooms.
but as long i see the three entries for the zooms at attack scope in MaGui's files and these entries are not showing in your install the only thing that i can think is that you have messed your install


ps: i didn't say that you are trying to make trouble ! i said what you must do in order to have valid comments becuase with all these mods conflicts out there, is pretty easy (and more possible) to be an ''install'' problem than a 'bug' of mod . you can be sure that if indeed was a bug i would have correct it

I have took the fix from your website...

Here is a screenshot,



that fix is for MaGui v2+ .as i told you, you must run the fix for the current version of MaGui .the fix is in the .rar of MaGui 3.2.1
navigate through the contents of the .rar and you will find it .
if you run MaGui 3.2.1 you have to use the fix called '' FM_NI FIX for MaGui 3.2.1''
Also ,everything you need is inside the .rar of MaGui 3.2.1 .i am telling you that becuase ,as i see from your pic, you have the casing for stealthmeter but not the sub's icon so you haven't use the ''optional-no stealthmeter for MaGui 3.2.1'' but probably you used the optional for an older version

my advice is to delete everything that involves older versions and keep only the .rar for MaGui 3.2.1 .all you need are in there

[java`s revenge]

Thanks, it`s all okay now :yeah:

I have a question about the attack disk. Sometimes it "resets" so when I pull it up again all the info is lost.
What actions affects the attack disk?


I refer to the disk that can be pulled up just under the recognition manual

hi Swampy,

basically ,whenever you use a tool the others are effected becuase of the fact that most of them are 'sharing' the same type of dials alteration . that means that the tools doesn't have 'memory'

[makman94]

Hello guys,

i added a button at MaGui that is applying a filter on both scopes.(see the pics below)
at the moment i am working at the filter itself (color,transparency...etc)
there is a limitation on the technique i used to apply this filter and this is that the filter is visual on all pages(filter is attached at the layout page) even if we 'leave' from periscopes's pages and we will have to manually switch it off via the button ( in other words...the filter will not automatically switched off).but there is ,afaik, no better way to have a filter applied to scopes and at the same time the scope and its tools to be availiable and fuctional .with this method we can have a filter on scope and also all features of scopes to be in use

now,becuase of the fact that the design of filter is a real headache for me i want to ask the fans of MaGui if they are interested to this addition so i will finish it or else i will drop it down.also,if anyone wants to produce some filters for me (i will give him all needed details for the dimensions of filter) in order to test them ,would be great !

hi makman,

i tested the bearing aob tool in your mod like TXT-file says...
i did it 5 times and never got correct AOB with this tool.

i waited (3 minutes) between b1 and b2 and (3 minutes) between b2 and b3.

i got:
B1 346
B2 357
B3 4 (364)

so... B2-B1 = 11 and B3-B1 = 18

i used tool and got a AOB of 138

but when i go to map and draw with goniometer at first bearing (346) and the course of the ship i got an AOB about 100 at (346) and not 138.

Where is my error? can u help?

oh, i got 3 things in your GIU which did not work for me. i cannot click "logbook", "obs perisope" and "radio messages" - do you know about?

[makman94]

hi Briklebritt,
here:
http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh372/makman94/aob-1.png

first of all the tool is showing 135+ degrees (not 138)
i entered your data at Gutted's tool in order to get fast the target's course . it showed that target's course is 30,7 degrees .
now ,look at the white paper, the calculations for the aob at b1 are resulting to 135,3 degrees.

so, the tool is showing you the correct aob at b1.



oh, i got 3 things in your GIU which did not work for me. i cannot click "logbook", "obs perisope" and "radio messages" - do you know about?

no,the buttons you describe are all ok. i don't know what is causing you these issues becuase you didn't gave any clues so i can't help.
basically ,it seems that something is not going ok with your Commands_en
file.
a) are you using the german language ?
b) are you running mods that conflicting with MaGui's files ? (a pic of your mod list would help )


bye

[briklebritt]

got another question... how to get correct AOB with wheel. Please anybody help me.

i cannot set final thing for AOB on wheel. Where is my error?

i read to use x2,5 at 6-zoom and use complete length of the ship.. please look..

PS: i got range of 560m with statimeter - map shows 560m too.

hi Briklebritt,

you haven't made any error ...:)

continue counting...from '40' . the '0,5' that you see next is representing the '50' and the '1' far left is '100' .

the '75' is under the g of the word 'lange' and shows you aob=67 degrees

hello guys,

MaGui v3.3 is ready !

from its readme :

addings-changes(to previous version v3.2.1)
-------------------------------------------

1.adding a button for switching a visual filter at attack and obs periscopes (the filter must be manually switched off-via its button-when you 'leave' from periscopes)

2. add marks at ''aob'' wheels for the angle x (info for this angle can be found in the tutorial for the ''broken'' TDC Attack methods)

3. adds ,also,the digital gyro on Torpedo-TDC's panel at obs scope ,in order to be visible when tdc's panel is on view.

4. adds the shooting bearing's tables for 30,40 and 44 knots torpedoes at attack scope,obs scope and uzo pages (info for the use of these tables in the tutorial for the ''broken'' TDC Attack methods)

5.tweaks at commands_en.cfg file. with these tweaks ,if you choose a new torpedo tube the previous selected tube stays open and will close only by the key ''W'' or by the order of weapon's officer . ( ''Q''= opening selected tube(s) , ''W''= close selected tube(s) and ''Y''= cycle tubes ).

6.reworked lens ( darker) for the attack and obs scopes and reworked reticles .also, you will find at optionals a set of alternative lens for the scopes(brighter) directly taken from sh5.

6.many minor graphical touches here and there.


you will find ,also,at its .rar a new tutorial that explaining you how to use the shooting bearing tables. its another one ''broken'' TDC method ,but this one is when you want to achieve straight shots to the target with different intercepts angles . a technique that i believe many captains used in real life.
this technique has also the possibility to ''correct'' your shot with adjusting gyroangle value but its not analyzed in the tutorial becuase then the shot is not a straight shot. at the future i will make a tutorial explaining the advanced uses of this technique.
many thanks to Geosub, how helped me a lot with the 'ditry' job on excel (writing a formula on excel is very 'tricky') for finding the values for the shooting bearings for each type of torpedo.

at the moment,some final checks are taking place and expect a release tomorrow.

Hi makman94,

very nice work :up:

I don't know whether you are aware of this, but the electric TII torpedo runs at 28 knots and not 30 knots (at least in GWX. No idea why it's always written 30 knots :06: ). The steam torpedoes (and the TIII) run at 30 knots (when set to slow). Some time ago I made similar tables as you did now and figured this out. You might add a torpedo.sim file with modified speeds to your release.

Cheers, LGN1

PS: For my private use I added a second speed setting to the electric torpedoes to simulate a cold and preheated torp. I use the preheated setting only when I have enough time before shooting. My settings are:

TII: cold 28kn/3000m preheated 30kn/5000m
TIII: cold 28kn/4500m preheated 30kn/7500m

I don't know how long the preheating took in real life. I play with 15 min.

[comet61]

The bearing tables would be awesome since I shoot from "the hip" at close range a great deal. Can't wait for the update.:yeah:

really very usefull information LGN1 ! thank you
at the test i used only the steam torps (becuase they had the three speeds 30,40,44 availiable) but no the electric torps .i didn't know that electric torps were running at 28 kts so your info is more than usefull .

i will adjust the .sim files for torps, but i have a question .look at this pic :
http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh372/makman94/torps.png

if node 17 is steam torps (correct?) and node 19 is electric torps (correct?) then the node 21(type iii) and the node 23 (type vii) what torps are altering ??

ps: so , you had made these tables and you never released them :o?? it was a real pain in the a... to create them ! these things must always 'see' the 'light' of day ! don't keep them at your hd :DL

For more Information take a look here:

Hi makman94,

you are right about the nodes 17,19,21 (just change the marked 28 in your picture to 30). Like Plissken_04, I think the other one is the Walter Steinbarsch Torpedo. But it's not implemented in the game (you can get some information about it in the GWX manual. Only 10 torps are used in the game IIRC, see below). TIII is the improved electric torpedo (new fuse and better batteries).

I made the tables for my malfunction mod which simulates TDC failures. I wanted to offer the player a tool to compensate the failure. However, I never finished it because I decided not to release my malfunction mod. It took me quite some time to figure out why my numbers (obtained from the steam torps) were sometimes working and sometimes not.

Cheers, LGN1


From the GWX manual:

• Stock Silent Hunter III includes graphics and modeling information for the T VII Steinbarsch (―rock bass) torpedo, but the torpedo is not available in the game. Germany produced at the very end of the war 100 of these wakeless, 45-knot, hydrogen peroxide-fueled torpedoes with LuT pattern following and a range of 8 km, but none went to sea before the end of hostilities.6 The Silent Hunter III game engine only reads one character in the applicable .cfg file when identifying torpedo types, so only 10 types of torpedoes (numbered 0 – 9) are allowed, BUT the T VII would be the 11th torpedo type. GWX does not replace any other torpedo types to enable the T VII.

Makman,

I am missing the posibility to use the AOB wheel with 6x zoom.
It`s almost impossible calculating a target which lies 800m from you.

Or am i missing something :hmmm:

:06:....what do you mean ? i don't understand....

[java`s revenge]

In an elder version of your mod you could choose to install a zoom version.

I do only see that for this version 15x zoom is applicable.

I know..i know, i have to calculate by 2.5 but...

[makman94]

I know..i know, i have to calculate by 2.5 but...


you can use the obs scope then, there (at obs) the rings are setted for working at x6 zoom .
now, if you want to have the x6 set also at attack peri then

1. open the files of MaGui ,find the ''AOBFInnerDisc2'' tga and ''AOBFOuterDisc2'' tga and copy and paste them at your desktop.
2. RENAME them to ''AOBFInnerDisc'' and ''AOBFOuterDisc''
3.in the files of MaGui, REPLACE the images with the same names (''AOBFInnerDisc'' and ''AOBFOuterDisc'') with the ones from your desktop
4. enable the mod

that way you will have the x6 set rings at both attack and obs peri (so you will take your measures at x6 zoom when you are at attack or obs peri)

ps: NEVER MIX things from earlier versions of mod ! whatever you want to do must 'come' ONLY from the .rar of current version

[tomfon]

Hello.
Which zoom levels are available through the attack periscope view, makman?
x6, x15 or both of them? I didn't try version 3.3 yet so i'm just asking. Thanks!

[java`s revenge]

Thank you, thank you great modder :yeah:

[jaxa]

Makman94, I like your mod very much, good work :up:
I have one question and request - could you use in your GUI small icons for orders (part of Integrated Orders from GWX 3.0), like in h.sie's hsGUI v3.1 or ACM-GUI Reloaded h.sie's Edition v1.15? These small icons look very good - it's only one thing missed for me in your GUI. In my opinion it will be good addon for your work. If it's not possible, could you describe me how to do it manually?

[Magic1111]

MaGui v3.3 is out !

first post updated

enjoy

Many, many thanks makman ! :up: Wonderful work ! :yeah:

hi Tomfon,

it is all written at reads me texts. zooms for attack are x1,5 / x6 / and x15

hi Jaxa,
not interested at these small icons at all. there will be no further changes at MaGui unless something really good 'comes up' ! to start telling you what to do to get these icons is equal to the time i will need to make them . basically , you have to resize the orders1,orders2 and order3 and then you have to find the entries at menu_ini for each icon and adjust there the crops and the positions of items . but ,really, i believe ,that the current icons are more comfort when you are in action


ATTENTION:
i have made a typo at the table for 30kts torpedoes. when target's speed=18 and angle lb=90, the correct shooting bearing is 31 degrees and not 30,1 degrees as written by fault .
many thanks to a friend who checked the values and 'catched' this.
you will find at my FF page the correct table for the 30kts torpedo.
it is not jsgme ready ,you will find instructions on how to import this table to MaGui's files

bye

[Kpt. Weyprecht]

I must say, I'm really impressed! RL holds me far away from the game but I definitely will try your mod as soon as I get back to the SH3.
I zas considering migrating to SH4/OM but I feel I'll stay in SH3 a little more thanks to you, Marksman.

I just have one question, by pure curiosity (I'm pretty sure it was already answered somewhere), but I'm pretty ignorant in the matter.. Are the new reticles a late-war model? I've seen this kind of reticles on some German explanatory drawing from the time, but most of the photos show reticles closer to what you used in older versions of MaGUI, as Hitman did in his GUI?

[tomfon]

[comet61]

I gotta say: I really like makmans (Magui3.3) new bearing chart shooting solution method. I have done it at least 4 times and it works great. I think my accuracy of shooting "from the hip" has gotten a lot better.

In the middle of the night I did a surface attack on a Large merchant. My AoB was 70°. I was able to calculate the speed (8Kt). Using 2 TII eels set at impact at a 1.5° spread. I was about 900m away. I set the scope at 0°, turned off the auto targeting and swung the scope according to the chart (I used the 30kt chart, went down to the 70° column to 8 knots), set the crosshairs at the proper angle per the chart (something like 8.5 degrees, can't remember) leaving it on manual targeting (red button). Once the target's mid section reached my crosshairs I fired. BOOM, BOOM, right on the money. Broke it right in half. I love this method!

I also noticed that there is a decent/acceptable margin of error concerning the AoB. The other night I was about 10° off of my AoB calculation, but I had the speed correct. I still hit the target, but missed the desired spot by a few meters...still sank.

Good job Makman....love this new mod method.

hello Kpt. Weyprecht,
i have seen pics with different reticles on german scopes so i believe that there was not a standar design for the reticles (just my opinion).
i was inspired with the american scopes and the reticles you see at MaGui's scopes are more 'close' to this 'look' . i prefer this style for reticles for many reasons .two of them is that i need the reticles to be 'close' to vertical and horizontal line of peri in order to be visible even when 'wheels' are on and second becuase using the 'reversed' scopes (horizontal line at top mast of ship and read the scale's mark that waterline is showing to you) is way more comfort for the vertical reticles to be close to vertical line of scope.
i have seen pics that reticles are ON vertical line of peri but this was not ,let's say....not 'eye candy' !




I also noticed that there is a decent/acceptable margin of error concerning the AoB. The other night I was about 10° off of my AoB calculation, but I had the speed correct. I still hit the target, but missed the desired spot by a few meters...still sank.



hi Comet,

of course it is working , it is just trigonometry !
yes ,you have an acceptable error at angle lb but have in mind that the faster the target is and the longer the distance that torp will travel then these 'errors' will turn to be more critical. practising is the only way .... the longer your shots are,... the better you become !

[klh]

I love this GUI, and really appreciate the hard work that went into it.

I'm having a problem running it with the FM interior mod. I installed FM, then MaGui 3.3, then the MaGui/FM 3.3 fix as described in the manual. Both mods work fine by themselves, but together the open hatches command and engine room cam no longer work. I am using the latest version of JGME

Anyone have a similar experience and how did you fix it?

(By the way, I am running mostly stock. I've been in a campaign since GWX3 came out and since I play DiD, I haven't upgraded yet.)

[Kpt. Weyprecht]

Thank you for the explanation. Sure your version is more eyecandy than reticles on the centreline!

Can't wait to use your awesome mod (and a few other mods that got released since the last time I could play the game...)

hi Klh,
the 'fix' is tested and working fine. i am running it at my install and all works as expected.
what do you mean by saying '' open hatches command doesn't wok'' .you mean that ''shift+H'' and ''ctrl+H'' is not working ?
and also what do you mean with the engine room cam problem? can you express yourself with other words ?
please ,show me your mods list (showing the order of active mods)

Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt I'm doing something wrong.

Here's my mod list that's giving me trouble...

Vasserbomben_Chalkboard
UboatReflectionsFix
Tikigod's - Engine Order Telegraph (German)
Shell Damage Textures
RealisticFatigue 2.0
Ambient Hydrophone Sound
Ambient Underwater Sound
Explosions_and_gunfire
JIRM - Stock SH3
Cable Fix Type VIIC
NewDcSounds
FM_NewInterior_V1.0
MaGui 3.3
optional-No Stealthmeter for MaGui 3.3
optional-stopwatch with speed lines for MaGui 3.3
FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3.3

When I say the open hatch commands don't work, I mean that after installing MaGui 3.3, the Shift-H and Ctrl-H don't do anything. I can not open the hatches. Without MaGui installed, I can open the hatches.

Also, pressing Shift-E does not do anything after MaGui is installed on top of my FM_NI.

I'm guessing it has something to do with my other mods, or the fact that I'm not running GWX, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own. Thanks for any help you can give.

[tomfon]

Hello klh.

I believe that the problems you face are due to a wrong installation order.
The "FM Interior" mod should be enabled after makman's mod. This way, when you enable the fix after flakmonkey's mod, the cameras.dat file which is included in the fix and which has been adjusted for the "MaGui" mod, will overwrite fm's cameras.dat (which has already overwritten magui's own cameras.dat) and will ensure compatibility between makman's mod and flakmonkey's mod.

You have enabled makman's files after fm's own files thus undoing any changes fm's cameras.dat file introduced.

This is my opinion but wait for makman to reply too.


EDIT

I was wrong. From the readme.

for those who want to use Flakmonkey&DD's ''FM_NI'' mod with MaGui 3.3

B. without Anvart's mods

Thank you comet.;)

[comet61]

The "FM Interior" mod should be enabled after makman's mod.


Not sure about that. My mod load order is the original FM mod, then Magui3.3 and then the FM fix by makman for v3.3. Everything works just as it is suppose to with that setup.

[tomfon]

You are right, comet and i was wrong. I've edited my post above.^^

hi Klh,

from the way you are describing the situation , two things are more possible:

A.according to your note ,it seems that the 'fix' is not taking effect ! i am saying this becuase there are ,indeed, in the fix's command file the orders shift-h ,ctrl-h and shift-e
so,disable the 'fix' and reenable it ! does the jsgme is warning you for conflicts with magui 3.3's commands ? if YES ,this is normal , proceed and activate it .
if not then the fix is not installed correctly
now,assuming that your install is correct ,enter the torpedo training mission(no other mission...just enter this one) .do you still have the issues there ?

B. the other posibility ( that i think is exactly your fault) is that you are not riding a viib sub (when you tested fm-ni fix for magui).
the correct install is :

without Anvart's mods
-------------------------
1.DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038
2.FM_NewInterior_V1.0
3.MaGui 3.3
4.FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3.3

the ''DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038'' is neseccery if you want 'opening hatces' to all types of subs ( ''FM_NewInterior_V1.0 '' is containing 'opening hatch' only for types viib)

so if you are not riding a type viib sub then the shift-h,ctrl-h (you haven't enable the ''1'') and shift-E (no engine room to other than viib ) are useless.
thats why i am saying to test it at torpedo training mission

bye

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try as soon as I dock from my current mission. I will let you know what happens.

[klh]

Makman,

You were exactly correct. :yeah: In my career, I have a VIIC boat.

But when I tested FM_NI and MaGui separately, I was running one of the single missions using a VIIB. It was only after loading both that I tried them in my career mission, and couldn't get it to work. Somehow I missed that FM_NI only modeled the VIIB hatches.

Thank you for helping me to sort this out.

[aus3620]

Firstly, thanks Makman for a terrific mod. Using GWX3, MEPv3, Magui 3.3 with optional scopes/stopwatch, TMT v2. Play at 85% realism.

Is there a tutorial about using the UZO, obviously for surface attacks? Just read "The Golden Horseshoe" - Kretschmer's career, so keen to try surface attacks. To date have preferred to launch the attack submerged.

It seems that Kretschmer cruised between the convoy columns and launched his torpedoes for "right-angle" track - can anyone point me to a how-to for that?

Thanks

[clouclou]

Dear makman94,
Super as work,
One question though. In Uzo, how to place the names of boats and torpedoes as icons in the PERISCOPE ATTACK. (Boat: bottom right in the label, Torpedo icon in the upper right) I know you have to go menu_1024_768 but where exactly?

hello Aus3620,


you will find instructions on how to use the range finder at uzo(red scale) at the manos optics.txt (at documents)
i don't know what you mean by saying ''right-angle'' track but i guess that you mean that torpedo's run course will interesept target's course vertically .in this case read the ''perfect shots'' tutorial that is included in MaGui's .rar


if you mean (with ''right-angle'' track) that your sub's attack course is intercepting vertically target's course then after you have placed your sub to a vertically intercept course ,you can use your tdc :
1.uzo at zero degrees
2.set tdc to manual
3.set aob 90 left or right (depending of situation)
4.set target's speed
5.set tdc to auto
6.lock uzo on target
7.wait untill your gyroangle goes to zero and...shoot !
or you can use the procedure that is described at the ''straight shots'' tutorial (looking the column for lb=90 degrees) that is ,also incuded in .rar

Hi Makman,

Thanks for responding. Of course, after posting I had a look at my download and found the help files!

The Angriff in the manual has more "arms" than the two arm version in the game. I presume because there is no "rear" side as per the manual. So using this angriff you can calculate the AOB of the target or the true course of the target.

Thanks again for your many contributions (patches, tutorials, comments) to the forum and SH3/GWX.

hello Wolfpack_jim,

yes, you can enable MaGui after Olc gold but have in mind this:
one of the parts of Olc gold mod is Olc's gui.so, if you enable MaGui after Olc gold you will miss Olc's gui as all files that are altering the gui will be overwritten by MaGui's files

hi Aus,

have a look here: [REL] Manos Gui (MaGui) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=157376)

at post 45 you will find explainations on why the front side of attack disc has two ''arms''.
no ,the uses of front side of attack disc are not only the two you mentioned. just to name some additional uses:

1.you can choose the aob that you will attack (if you know the target's course) and the disc can show you ,fast, the course that you must set to your sub in order to intercept the target's course with the given aob

or
2.disc can,also, show you the relative to north bearings(if you want to get them from disc)

you see,front side of disc can do a lot of things and maybe you will discover more by your own imagination.

the back side of attack disc is attached to the navigator officer's orders.clic on him and look at the right edge of your screen.


Makman, I can't find speed/range charts in your GUI. Is it included or not? If not - how to include them to your mod?

hi Jaxa,

place you cursor at the right edge of screen at navmap page and these charts will pop up.
if you are using the MaGui's version for lsh3 v5 then these charts are draggable (again at navmap page)

[wolfpack_jim]

Makman hi again

I would like to ask something about the shipchart. I see the drawings and colours but i don't know what it's colour means. If you have any idea you it's welcome. Ah and another think. Doing a reacearch in the net i find in wikipedia that liberty ship displasment is about 14000 tons but in the tmt2 it's appears some 7000 tons. What is going on?

thank in advance for your imply

[wolfpack_jim]

This morning i did my third patrol with my UIIA and i engaged a medium cargo at 5500 meters. The aob was few degrees less than 90 but to your mod i red few degrees plus. Is it reliable at these distances or i am loosing something here.
thx mate

hi Wolfpack_jim,
what do you mean shipchart ? the freighter's panel at obs scope ?
about your second question , at TMT v2 ,the values for displacements are not edited . the 7170 tons that you see at recmanual is the displacement value that ship is using at its .sim file . this value is the unique value from gwx or from devs (if we assume that gwx hasn't edit it also)

This morning i did my third patrol with my UIIA and i engaged a medium cargo at 5500 meters. The aob was few degrees less than 90 but to your mod i red few degrees plus. Is it reliable at these distances or i am loosing something here.
thx mate

i think that you are trying to get aob from the wheels , right ? if yes, then have in mind that the wheel's method for attacking is only when you want a fast solution for the target (basically when you are in pressure).so, yes your target is very very far (at 5,5 km) for getting an very accurate aob . distance is the 'problem' here .
also, never 'stick' to a solution by one measurment ,always you must 'fining' your solution and this needs time and patience (but if you are in a hurry then you can use the wheels for attacking but your target will be close enough so your solution data will be pretty good then)

bye

[wolfpack_jim]

i meant jibuna's shipchart.pdf (http://www.filefront.com/13792872/shipchart.pdf). i can't find any information about the colours of "sweet spots"

Yes i was meaning finding the aob from the wheels...

thnx

I've just realized that I forgot to express my admiration for this mod. It's amazing how many tools you've managed to integrate and simply how awesome it looks. :up:

[Henri II]

Hi,

after a long time with GWX and OLC GUI I decided to switch to LSH3 and to try this new (to me) GUI. I love it, especially the combination of all the wheel gizmos with the little notepad. I have just two questions:

1. How do I switch bewtween the different controll dials? I mean compass/rudder, telegraph/knots? I can't seem to find any button or switch for that.

2. Rangefinding with the notepad works great, but it seems to be impossible to send the range to the TDC, the way it used to be in the vanila game. Unless I misremember that. Is it supposed to be impossible or am I doing something wrong?

hello Henri II,

for ...
1. place your cursor at the left of each dial and the secondary dial will pop up automatically

2.
sending range to tdc is very easy to be done . (so easy that can be done by changing one id....or two ,can't remember right now)

I ,also, will like it more to be done so BUT there is a problem here! (big problem)
if i make it to send range to tdc,then the problem is that is sending all data (aob-speed) to tdc . this is hardcoded (afaik) and i don't know a way to overpass this.

maybe you think that there is no notepad at the gui BUT the notepad is hardcoded . this means that there is at every gui but to some of them is OFF view of player .the attack scope page of magui is using also one more element from notepad(exept the range element)...the aob in order to show the aob wheels. this means that if the player have used the aob wheels and after that the stadimeter then...when you press the button to send range to tdc it will send also the aob (becuase aob wheels is a 'covered' aob dial) and will mess the solution . thats why this fuction (sending range to tdc) is disabled.
you have to manualy set the range to tdc.

as i said , i also would like it to be the other way but i can't find a way to make it so...

bye

EDIT : WAIT A MINUTE ! i think i have an idea that might work ! will let you know !

edit 2 : no ! i changed also the altering at dials.cfg but this also didn't work totally correct .(it did the trick but other problems are appearing...).difficult to explain...but i am afraid that range will stay as it is (manually input).

[Henri II]

Well, it's not a big problem, I just wasn't sure if it was intended or if I was making a mistake.

[Seminole]

I DLed the mod and started by reading the Readme...no German allowed...English Only....:cry:...rats!!!!


Any chance of the German language being accommodated?

[makman94]

I DLed the mod and started by reading the Readme...

...good start ! :DL

no German allowed...English Only....:cry:...rats!!!!by that i mean that you have to use the english texts. (german texts are not adjusted becuase ,as you understand, i don't know german) .you can switch,though, to german voices (at the start options) if this is the case.voices is ok to be set either to german or english.

what ''rats'' means?

Any chance of the German language being accommodated?do you speak german ? if yes,come give a hand(i will show you the parts that must be changed) and make the adjustments for german languange.

[Munchausen]

what ''rats'' means?

:cool: It's an expression of mild dismay. Like "heck" or "shucks" or "darn" ... often used by characters in the comic strip "Peanuts."

[Henri II]

...
do you speak german ? if yes,come give a hand(i will show you the parts that must be changed) and make the adjustments for german languange.

I actually might be interested in that. For my own setup I already "germanized" most things, like the menu and help files. Commands_de file was also somewhat strange (not the usual commands for a german keybord). I also changed the english labels in the .tga files that had them. But it would be nice to get a list of what needs to be changed, just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

A big round of applause for Henri II.....:yeah:

hello Henri,

i ,just ,renamed the commands_en to command_de (in other words both files are the commands_en with different names).i did that in order to prevent odd things for the players that ,by fault, would have switched to german keyboard(at the start options). my thought is that the player has no need to switch keyboard to german. just leave it always to english .does it make any difference in game if keyboard is switched to german ?

about the texts : the de_menu must be adjusted (and de_help at some supermods). send me (via pm) your e-mail and i will send you all the changes that must be done at de_menu

Hi Makman,
Just a quick heads up,went to download your UI but ff says 'file not found'.
Might be the 'disappearing file syndrome' that I've heard others on the board talk about sometimes happening.

hello to all,

Henri II prepared ALL the german texts for ALL supermods and worked on ALL images that was showing english letters in order to make them with german letters.
also , he adjusted the commands_de .
all these means that the players can now use (fully...commands and texts) the german languange in MaGui

Thank you very much for your work Henri ! :salute:

as some changes needed at menu_ini i decided to release a new version ,the MaGui v3.4

also ,this version is correcting an issue at scopes that the player was able to ,slightly, see through the background .thanks goes to Reaper7 who posted the solution for this issue.

and ,as always, some minor graphical touches here and there

it will be released in one of the next days ,some final checks are taking place atm...

Hi makman !

First let me say I love to play with your Gui, it´s wonderful ! :up:

But second I have an question and a big wish to you, please look at the Screenshot and the question in it:

I mean, it is possible, that the three Big Dials came out with an slide, when I go with the Mouse Cursor in the near of the left side from the Monitor Screen ?

I hate this, when I must press the Button that the three Dials came out, especially if it must go fast (submerge when airplane spotted for example, or another situation).

I hope you understand me an my question and you can do my wish ! :D;)

Hi, mates!

I have a visual problem with this magnificent GUI: The image in periscope is slighty moved to left; I think is a problem of display resolution (I use 1360x768 on my 4:3 monitor). On the periscope, I view four lines, not the cross of two lines. :hmmm:

I think a problem in the "camera.dat" file, too...

UZO works fine, looks normal, without problems. All other functions of the GUI are OK (and the GUI looks great!).

Is there some solution for the problem? I have the same problem with Raptor´s GUI (Hitman optics version).

The problem:

Good question...The MEP 20 Km. is fully compatible with SH5 Water for SH3?

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

there is no meaning at talking about ''compatibility'' between two environment mods . it is not the 16 or 20 km thing...

use your logic and come to think this: how could two mods that both are altering,for example, environment's colors to be called 'compatible' ? there is no way...i don't see any point...

if installed through jsgme...game will always 'read' the last one installed so no harm is done.i mean ,your pc will not explode and the worst thing that may happen is to experience the 'faults' of env mod's author.
now,if you start mixing things (by taking parts of environments) ...thats a totally other story which is not recommended at all !

I would put the "Periscope filter" and "ObsScope filter". They were not in the c. 3.3. I found their places in "menu 1024-768" and changed it (from G26 I101 to G26 I111 for the peri. For example). Or does it still occur? In what folder?
Thank you.

i really don't understand what you are running after and asking all these questions.becuase,for me, things are much simplier Fitzcarraldo.
it is a little embarassing to be 'forced' to talk about thing that are under the common sense. run it,test it ,delete it ! can't be simplier...
to answer your question: at bad weather the sea is blue...dark blue like the ...ink. the truth is that sea has no color and theoritically can take all the colors of the world so i choosed to design M.E.P. as i see the ...sea ! i live next to 'her' and i see 'her' every day ! and what i see at bad weather is very close to what you see at bad weather of M.E.P.
grey or black(!) sea....no ...not usual ,not to my eyes and not to pics that i investigated...maybe it is eye candy or something (and believe me it is easier to make the environment grey at bad weather than dark blue-you will not believe what testing colors i had in my HD when i created it ) but i was running after to make M.E.P as real as possible and ,for me , M.E.P has succeed at bad weather . maybe i have overact a little at the blue at the sky (at bad weather) but NOT at the blue at water !

now, i am not here to discuss or argue with anyone about this . tastes are ...tastes ! and M.E.P fits to my ...tastes ( ...logically)!if you like grey colors thats fine too for you but...not for me. fire it up,,,if you don't like it just delete it ....and try something else .i knew from the first time i designed it that M.E.P will not satisfy everybody...you see not everybody likes ...souvlaki and ...tzatziki !!
that's all...

till then ,let's sail to the sunset ....

I would put the "Periscope filter" and "ObsScope filter". They were not in the c. 3.3. I found their places in "menu 1024-768" and changed it (from G26 I101 to G26 I111 for the peri. For example). Or does it still occur? In what folder?
Thank you.

i can't understand you Clouclou....why to do this ? for what reason ?

I got to run this "option": Periscope filter. (Version 3.4)
The question is what is it?
Nothing happens. I thought about darkening the atmosphere!

again,can't understand the question ....if you are talking for the ''periscope filter.tga'' and ''obsscope filter.tga''...then these are there for correcting an issue that the player ,slightly,could see through the background .

tip: if you edit these images(color-darkness) can work as permanent filters for the scopes too !

[fitzcarraldo]

i really don't understand what you are running after and asking all these questions.becuase,for me, things are much simplier Fitzcarraldo.
it is a little embarassing to be 'forced' to talk about thing that are under the common sense. run it,test it ,delete it ! can't be simplier...
to answer your question: at bad weather the sea is blue...dark blue like the ...ink. the truth is that sea has no color and theoritically can take all the colors of the world so i choosed to design M.E.P. as i see the ...sea ! i live next to 'her' and i see 'her' every day ! and what i see at bad weather is very close to what you see at bad weather of M.E.P.
grey sea....no ...not usual ,not to my eyes and not to pics that i investigated...maybe it is eye candy or something (and believe me it is easier to make the environment grey at bad weather than dark blue-you will not believe what testing colors i had in my HD when i created it ) but i was running after to make M.E.P as real as possible and ,for me , M.E.P has succeed at bad weather . maybe i have overact a little at the blue at the sky (at bad weather) but NOT at the blue at water !

now, i am not here to discuss or argue with anyone about this . tastes are ...tastes ! and M.E.P fits to my ...tastes ( ...logically)!if you like grey colors thats fine too for you but...not for me. fire it up,,,if you don't like it just delete it ....and try something else .i knew from the first time i designed it that M.E.P will not satisfy everybody...you see not everybody likes ...souvlaki and ...tzatziki !!
that's all...

till then ,let's sail to the sunset ....

bye

I like the colours of MEP, and it is the environment I use now. In the post of the link, I discuss with other mate about the grey colour of the water...The mate (Nemo7), tell me he use the MEP 3, and the water in bad weather is grey. Only that...I think, with others mates, in a problem with ATI cards, but now you tell me the bad weather in MEP is dark blue, and it is great.

Many thanks and congratulations for the mods you make. My interface is MaGUI, and is the best.

Kind regards.

Hello!

I like the attack-periscope look of your mod Makman, and I'm trying to copy-paste it to olc-periscope gui. I've been succesful with only two problems:

1. The "notepad" in up-right corner. Do you maybe have this periscope graphics without the notepad, so I could avoid erasing it manually in photoshop?

2. I don't know how to add the manos8.tga lines to periscope. I have found it in menu_1024_768.ini:

[G26 I104]
Name=DegHL
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x26060008
ParentID=0x26060000
Pos=-124,66,1024,768;-124,89,1024,768;
Color=0x66B26680
Materials=1
Display=0;No stretch
Mat 0=data/menu/OLC/manos8.tga
MatFlags=0x29
TexFmt=0x9

But simple copy-paste from your menu_1024_768.ini to olc menu_1024_768.ini didn't work - the lines were not there. Is there any other option, that I must copy?

-----------

I have found an answer to the second question, the lines on periscope works.

[fitzcarraldo]

The WS GUI looks great, I´ll try it when I have the solution for a problem with the HiRes Mod in my W7 (CTDs). It don´t work. I think a problem with the DX (I have DX10).

hi Verte,

for the first question : for which one you are interested ? for the default or the sh5 style (alternative) one ? i have some back ups but have to look for it.

for the second question : you can't use these marks at Olc's gui becuase MaGui's scopes are using different viewports and different angular angles . the marks that you see can be used only on MaGui . (for use at Olc's gui ...you must adjust the marks to match with Olc's vertical scale)

In the "MODS" folder inside the "SH3" folder, put the MaGUI folder and activate with JSGME. Inside the MaGUI 3.4 folder, there is a "data" folder: please, check it. The JSGME overwrites some files of the SH3 GWX 3 "data" folder; because that, inside the "MaGUI 3.4" folder there is a "data" folder.

Hi, Makman, thanks for the tip (the wrong Torpedo Botton order). The "HiRes" mod I have is a d3d9.dll and d3d9.cfg (where you put the desidered resolution). Both installed in the SH3 main folder, and activated via a batch file. I think is the resolution mod used by all the mates (SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b).

The files date is "2005" and - I think - is for Windows XP and DX9. I have W7 Home Premium and DX10. The SH3 go to CTD with this mod.

Many thanks and regards.

Fitzcarraldo

[kaizerkat]

quick question.Does the inner ring or middle ring the only ring that moves in the periscope attack sight?I was reading the perfect shot tutorial and it showed me how to use the device that sets up the firing solution and it seemed to me more rings should rotate.Also, the charts that give the firing solution formula, is that set up for 500-700 m shots on ships?

[verte]

for the first question : for which one you are interested ? for the default or the sh5 style (alternative) one ? i have some back ups but have to look for it.

No problem, I've edited them already in photoshop :)

I'm using them only as decoration anyway, because I don't know how to use them correctly :oops:

I've made a nice olc-magui combo (so its a combo of combo :DL) and I'm very happy with it! Thanks for your work.

[makman94]

hi Captaindnnis,
i am sure that i can't help you....but what error is this ?
are you talking for MaGui or for Widescreen MaGui ? try redownload and reinstall the mod (in case that something was corrupted)

Fitzcarraldo

oh ...i know this hi-res mod . well , this 'problem' with the CTDs has nothing to do with MaGui. (i assure you)
i think that you can't set whatever resolution you want in its configuration file.wrong resolution settings ...leads to ctd.

quick question.Does the inner ring or middle ring the only ring that moves in the periscope attack sight?I was reading the perfect shot tutorial and it showed me how to use the device that sets up the firing solution and it seemed to me more rings should rotate.Also, the charts that give the firing solution formula, is that set up for 500-700 m shots on ships?

hi Kaizerkat,
Only the middle ring is rotating.what part of the tutorial made you think that more rings should rotate?

about the second question: the charts for the straight shots are for shots as far as your torp can travel

[makman94]

No problem, I've edited them already in photoshop :)


ok Verte ! :up:

[kaizerkat]

Ya, i re-read the manual and found that only the middle ring moves and i will play around with the long torpedo shot, to get use to the system.I think this will bring a whole new attack to the sim for me, once i get it down.I am getting tired of trying to get into position for that for sure shot at 500-800 m shot, especially going up against an convoy.Thanks for your great work.Any other info i can read to better understand your system?

Makman could you tell me why the dials in TDC.tga in your mod are rearranged - in comparison with eg. OLC TDC.tga? Were the dials placement in eg. OLC wrong?

no , i think that everything you need to know in order to use the 'broken' TDC methods are allready included in the two tutorials.

Makman could you tell me why the dials in TDC.tga in your mod are rearranged - in comparison with eg. OLC TDC.tga? Were the dials placement in eg. OLC wrong?

i can't say for sure what is wrong or right but according to photos from the real TDC, it was the aob dial the one that had the 'cut' with the 10ths and not the bearing's dial .

Good day,

would be grateful for any help on this problem I am having. Whenever I try to launch SH3 with the The Widescreen version for MaGui v3.4, I receive the error Can not Initialize 3D Engine :cry:

Have tried the suggestions in the following thread that I found as best I could: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=78827 but the same error instantly appears every time.

It is a laptop with I5 quad core and 1Gig ATI 5850 video card on Windows 7.

Will try anything to get this mod working, thanks!!

[casso]

Hello,
Are you getting this error only with MaGui or with clean install too?
I was getting the same error message when i tried run clean install of SH3 on my W7, and the problem was refresh rate below 60Hz.
It's a common Win7 bug so make sure your refresh rate is set at 60 or above, and if not try to set it manually in your card control panel, or download a PowerStrip or simmilar program to set a profile for SH3 with 60Hz or above.

It's a common Win7 bug so make sure your refresh rate is set at 60 or above, and if not try to set it manually in your card control panel, or download a PowerStrip or simmilar program to set a profile for SH3 with 60Hz or above.

I have the same error with stock SH3, SH3 GWX and MaGUI. The problem, I think, is the d3d9.dll of the HiRes mod. That don´t work with DX10.

Regards.

I think its not connected with DX10. It have all stuff form DX9 too, so it should be fully compatible.

I'm running SH3 with GWX and MaGui on Win7 with DX 10 on it and graphic card which can fully use it.
On my rig Sh3 (even with mods or not) wont run with "can not initialize 3d engine" message when windows controls automaticaly refresh rate - its Windows 7 59Hz bug. It may be connected with Vsync - not sure.

If you have Win 7 and SH3 can not initialize 3d engine - set manually refresh rate >=60Hz and make sure windows will not reset it back to lower

I downloaded makmans manual targeting tutorial and iwas wondering if that tutorial came with sound instructions in the files.I am running windows media player 11 and it shows the picture but no sound.Is there another program i could use to hear the talking part of the tutorial? My system is win xp sp3.Also is the magui 3 easier to figuer out the torpedo firing solution?

Good day,

would be grateful for any help on this problem I am having. Whenever I try to launch SH3 with the The Widescreen version for MaGui v3.4, I receive the error Can not Initialize 3D Engine :cry:

Have tried the suggestions in the following thread that I found as best I could: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=78827 but the same error instantly appears every time.

It is a laptop with I5 quad core and 1Gig ATI 5850 video card on Windows 7.

Will try anything to get this mod working, thanks!!

:arrgh!:

hi Jonesy71,

you should have post this question to widescreen MaGui's thread as this question you are setting has to do with widescreen version.
now, i can't help to questions like these becuase i have no idea why the ''Can not Initialize 3D Engine'' is appearing but i can only tell what i think.

the d3d9.dll is not working to all pcs ,for some reason not all pcs are handling the 1360x768 resolution .now ,why is this ? i don't know...it will better to ask the expert on these themes ....that means that you have to ask Seeadler

bye

hi Casso,
i will agree with your post Casso. I ,also , have Vsync ON (if not ....i can't see the sh3...i can hear the sound but no picture.with Vsync ON ...all are ok).so, i also believe that a combination of drivers versions and cards-game-monitors settings is responsible for issues like these.

but i can say one thing for sure ! if your game runs OK without MaGui v3.4 then FOR SURE it will run OK with MaGui v3.4 enabled (becuase MaGui v3.4 is not effecting critical parts of sh3's engine)

hi Kaizerkat, it is been asked many times...the video has NO sound (couldn't find a way when i was making it to get sound).as many have asked for this via pms i have written some basic explainations for the video to some pm replies . if i haven't delete them ...i will send them to you too.

the final version of MaGui is coming...

the final version is the most polished of all versions,it is correcting all tiny bugs (some of them was really very hard to find) such as the not showing the 100% of mine's chart image quality or the not showing of nomo's image quality just to name some.

there are ,also, changes at code just to make it even more handy and freedly to player .

almost ALL images are reworked and fining and also there will be a number of several filters for the scopes (blue,green,yellow...etc ).

from the pic you can see the reworked console ,buttons and icons.the buttons for the map tools may not be included at the release(i used part of images from TMO and Conus00 icons as bases in order to create these, so i need some permissions from the authors)

more details later...
