Hi my Friend !

I vote for pic 3 & 4 ! :up:

Best regards,
Magic:salute:

[BossMark]

Pic 3 also gets my vote

[Fubar2Niner]

3 & 4 For me too please, makman. :yep:

Best regards.

[VONHARRIS]

I voted for No3 but I also like No4.
How can I get these?
Thank you!

[Jimbuna]

3 or 4...definite improvements.

[Sailor Steve]

3 and 4 are much prettier, and look more like modern maps. I voted for 1 and 2, however, because they look more like German period maps I've seen.

[LeeHower]

I like Nr. 3 , very nice :yeah:

[Volk2]

1.

The colors of map fit the rest of interface and bronze gives nice old feeling.

[Myxale]

Looks great maestro!

Been hard at the business huh!

Voted!

[FIREWALL]

I must be missing something. They all look the same but 3+4 have Green on them.

Please explain.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Three, better colouring and text is German (I assume). :D

[Fish In The Water]

I must be missing something. They all look the same but 3+4 have Green on them.

Please explain.

Maybe it's a secret psych test... :D

[makman94]

thank you all guys for your inputs :up:
i got the 'picture' of what most of you like !

soon , i will show you the final map colors . with a new FANTASTIC tool that TDW created i managed to create the colors that fit to mine and your tastes for the map . it will take some time becuase each color (256 total) must be seperately adjusted via their hex values but it will be done ! (thats why i showed you only two very 'lightly' tweaked versions...just to 'catch' your tastes) .for this reason it will be only one version and i just hope to be the same in-game as i see it through TDW's tool

@Firewall : take a closer look ...all four colors sets are different
@Herr-Berbunch : the texts can be at german or english at whatever version.it is in a seperate file than map colors

almost complete:

If you double click the values under red, green, or blue you can adjust the value (possible values of 0-255). Gradient and map will be updated to show change. Here you can see I adjusted the Red value for Index 4 to 255. Notice the current gradient and map.

You can pan map with mouse.
Zoom/unzoom with keyboard (going to change to mousewheel)

Have to add/code in ability to save changes
You'll have the ability to save as a different file so you can scroll through different gradients and see what they look like without having to enter the game.

Works with SH5 also (originally made for SH5 but I ported it over so it can be used with SH3)

fantastic work TDW ! :up:
would we be able (with your tool) to SAVE the changes DIRECTLY to terain.act file (and not only to a gradient image) ? saving the changes only to a gradient image will help in sh3 only for viewing the colors (through your tool) but in order to see these colors in game we have to save these colors DIRECTLY to terain.act file !
you think that is possible for you to make it save the changes directly to terain.act ?
i mean that the best is to make it able to 'read' the colors from a gradient image(can be worked all colors together through graphics programmes) and to make it able to import these colors from gradient image directly to the terain.act file


Hi mate,

4 but with German text :Kaleun_Salute:

ahoy 'teacher' !! :Kaleun_Salute:

don't worry....text is not a 'problem' at all ,german text will always be availiable

yes it will save changes directly to terrain.act file for SH3 :up: You'll be able to create 'gradient' files for SH3 by creating multiple terrain.act files (terrain1.act, terrain2.act, terrain3.act, etc. and then you can cycle through these by pressing G. These files will be located in the folder where the app is located)

[postalbyke]

So we can change the gradient for the water depth, also?

[TheDarkWraith]

So we can change the gradient for the water depth, also?

If by water depth you mean the colors used for the water on the map then yes. If you are referring to the color of the water when you use external cam then no.

makman94 has a test version of the app. It's not complete yet but it's close (few little logic errors to correct and have to code in the saving of the gradients). Works with SH5 or SH3 :up:

Hi !

Can someone please explain me how this tool works and for what this is ? :oops:

I mean, I start the .exe and after loading I see an empty navmap. And now ? :06:

hi Magic,

the tool is not ready for sh3 but also is not released yet .

about what .exe are you talking about ?

Hi makman !

The .exe from this SH5 Thread:

http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1734267&postcount=7746

Download Link at the end from the post !

But in my opinion it´s the same for SH3, or ? :hmmm:

I have revised that app to also work with SH3. It's not complete yet but should be soon. makman94 found some issues I need to fix and I also need to let SH3 read .bmp files for the gradients (currently it reads .act files) :up:

Same here TDW , doesn't working. unable to see any adjusters or different gradients.bmp or different Terrain.act files

[Lucky07]

Pic 2 is so nice !! :yeah::yeah:

[TheDarkWraith]

Same here TDW , doesn't working. unable to see any adjusters or different gradients.bmp or different Terrain.act files

There are no more different .act files. Everything is done using either tgas or SH3's .act file.

Very baffling to me as I have no problems on Win 7 64bit. When asked I can use SH3 or SH5 and I can use the gradients or the .act file :hmmm:

test version 0.0.3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2GSORUUP

run the Dbgview app first then the SHMapViewer app. This way I have some debug feedback to see what's going on.

[SquareSteelBar]

test version v0.0.4: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3A6F25NA

now I should see why it's not creating the gradients

run the Dbgview app first then the SHMapViewer app. This way I have some debug feedback to see what's going on. Send me output of Dbgview app if doesn't work.

[SquareSteelBar]

...run the Dbgview app first then the SHMapViewer app...I did that [v0.0.3] but nothing happened [no output]...

____________________________

Same with v0.0.4 - no luck :shifty:

[TheDarkWraith]

I did that [v0.0.3] but nothing happened [no output]...

use the new version 0.0.4 and under Dbgview-->Capture ensure:
- Capture Win32 is checked
- Pass-Through is checked
- Capture events is checked

[SquareSteelBar]

Capture Win32 wasn't checked. Now DebugView works at least.

thanks for taking the time to test and help me figure out why some users are having problems :up:

test version 0.0.5: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W0N9I8WM

Still trying to figure out why can't create gradients for some :hmmm: Hopefully this sheds more light on it

[SquareSteelBar]

When I tried it I noticed the install path listed for SH3, was not the same as my SH3 install path.

Maybe there's an entry of an older SH3 installation in registry?

Look for this hive key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III
InstalledPath...... REG_SZ -> ????
Path ................ REG_SZ -> ????

???? = entries of an old installation ?


Did you move or copy the SH3 installation folder to a different path?



.

[TheDarkWraith]

When I tried it I noticed the install path listed for SH3, was not the same as my SH3 install path.

I'm reading the registry to get this info. What does your registry key say the install path is? I'm looking for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III

could also be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Si lent Hunter III

and I'm looking for the value of InstalledPath

okay this finally tells me something.
you see the 'map: creating gradients' which is good. The next entry should be 'Gradient: creating gradient'. This entry is the first thing the class's constructor does but since it doesn't show up then during class initialization it's failing (variable initialization) :hmmm:
What version of DirectX do you have installed on your computer? What OS are you using?

test version 0.0.6: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O624VRC2

this will give me info on the exception being raised when it tries to create the gradients

Gotta love these problems that only some people experience :shifty: Nature of the beast I guess :-?

Does this app work for anyone here in SH3? I know it works for me but that does me no good.

...I would like to test when anybody answered me my question from post #23 here...:hmmm:

I don´t know furthermore the sense behind this tool, sorry ! :oops:

For what is it ? What can I do with this tool ? How I see this tool work when I start the game ?

Sorry folks, but what are "gradients" ? :hmmm:

Hope I become a longer clearify, then I will test...!

You know the map that shown in game? This lets you change the colors of it. Plain and simple. SH5 uses a .tga file that specifies the gradient (a list of colors in a line) for the map. SH3 uses an .act file to specify them. This will let you make custom gradients and see what they look like before applying them to the SH3 .act file.

I'm really miffed about this ATM :hmmm:

I have 0 problems with the app and I can't figure out why some others are having problems when it comes time to make the gradients. It has something to do with DirectX I do know that but just can't quite pinpoint what....:shifty:

[TheDarkWraith]

test version v0.0.7: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6H7533Q0

changed how the gradients are 'stored' in memory. Hopefully fixes problem some users are experiencing

alrighty then it's time to swap hard drives on my computer and fire up XP 32 bit and see what happens :shifty:

EDIT:

test version 0.0.11: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OSAMHESH

Problem was a threading issue :shifty:

I got this to load on my laptop (XP 32 bit) so it should work now

You need .NET framework 3.5 intalled (found this out by trying to run on my Windows 98 computer)

[SquareSteelBar]

Tried it on a VM for now with WinXP Pro SP3 [32bit], latest DirectX 9.0c [June 2010] and .NET FW 3.5 SP1 installed.

It's working so far but huge parts of the window are out of screen range [17", 4:3, 1024x768] basically the lower part, also at left and right side. Is there a way to downsize the window?

When minimizing the window I get the following error:

Maybe that's VM related?

[makman94]

same as SquareSteelBar ,TDW !
your last version (.11) is working for me too BUT :

1. huge parts of the window are out of screen range . i am also have set the monitor to 1024x768 and almost all the lower part (with the adjusters) is out of screen range . i changed my screen resolution to maximum set (1680x1050) and still not all of it were vissible

2. still unable to change gradients or Terrain.act files (by pressing 'g' or 0-9).
editing ,updating map and saving is working perfect.
still can't find the fuction that app is 'reading' from gradient but saving to terrain.act

get the DebugView from here: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/30068925/DebugView.rar

ps: .NET framework 4 is installed (win7 x64)

[SquareSteelBar]

Screen resolution 1600x1200:

Hi Mate I vote for 4 :up:

How about trying to make a black and white version to make it look more like the authentic Kreigsmarine maps :hmmm:
It might need remaking of the maps to get rid of the land gradients so they appear all white but this is possible.
If I get a chance I'll try altering the Map level 1 to see what it looks like :salute:

I'm working on the ability to resize it currently :up:

You won't be able to change terrain.act files. It now works with only the game .act file or the tgas. So you load up the game .act file and then save it as a tga (when saving in SH3 it will ask if you want to save as game .act or tga). Edit it in Photoshop (or use the app's editor to make changes to the gradients) then copy modified tga to app's folder. Fire up app and then press G to cycle through gradients till your edited one is visible in Selected gradients. Press save button in selected gradients and select save as .act file to apply to game.

[TheDarkWraith]

Map viewer/gradient editor v0.0.12: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8MCUUF6Q

you can now resize the app and maximize it :D

Default starting size is much smaller also (1006 X 879)

[SquareSteelBar]

Good morning, TDW.

Window width -> OK
Window hight -> still a little bit too large [lower edge covered by task bar]

Minimizing and resizing don't work properly:

...you can now resize the app and maximize it...Is it possible to remove the limitation of downsizing?

[Magic1111]

You know the map that shown in game? This lets you change the colors of it. Plain and simple. SH5 uses a .tga file that specifies the gradient (a list of colors in a line) for the map. SH3 uses an .act file to specify them. This will let you make custom gradients and see what they look like before applying them to the SH3 .act file.

Okay, thx TDW ! :up:

Best regards,
Magic

[TheDarkWraith]

Good morning, TDW.

Window width -> OK
Window hight -> still a little bit too large [lower edge covered by task bar]

Minimizing and resizing don't work properly:

resized it so it will fit in 1024 X 768 screen :up:

These errors when minimizing and all are puzzling. Once again I don't experience these problems but I did some more checking before DirectX tries to render the map to ensure there are no errors in v0.0.13

v0.0.13: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C50QY1S0

[SquareSteelBar]

resized it so it will fit in 1024 X 768 screen...But very cramped.

Resizing is working well now [in a small range].
Minimizing still generates error message...

[TheDarkWraith]

But very cramped.

Resizing is working well now [in a small range].
Minimizing still generates error message...

Problem is I can't make it any smaller than 1024 X 768. If I do then I can't display the data.

Now the minimizing error just baffles me. I can't get it to reproduce and thus can't trap it to see why it happens. It doesn't happen to me - I can minimize, maximize, resize all day long without error :hmmm:

[I'm goin' down]

looks interesting. I do not want to fiddle with it until it is ready for installation. Will this be issued in mod form?

It's ready to be used but I won't officially release it until I figure out this minimizing error that some users experience at times :up:

THATS IT TDW !!!! :rock: Your tool now is...ROCKING !!!!

IT works perfect ...can save to terrain.act (from gradient) and all these with a very comfort interface !!!!!

still i have the same issue with SquareSteelBar (an error when attempt to minimaze it) but i haven't notice any side effect by this exept that it is generating the map again from the start (when you caome back to the app)

Thank you very much for this tool TDW !! editing the colors map is a piece of cake now thanks to your great tool !
one final request if possible : can you make it,saving the new terrain.act on the desktop ? (it always asks to overwrite the existing original terrain.act).

ok guys ...lets rock the sh3's map now !

some pics from my first version for sh3 map :

Hi Mate I vote for 4 :up:

How about trying to make a black and white version to make it look more like the authentic Kreigsmarine maps :hmmm:
It might need remaking of the maps to get rid of the land gradients so they appear all white but this is possible.
If I get a chance I'll try altering the Map level 1 to see what it looks like :salute:

yea sure Reaper ! no problem to make one version with the historical colors of kriegsmarine maps . can you post an original map to get an idea of its colors ? (googling shows many different results).

don't worry about the land gradient . if you make it all the same color it will appear with no gradient at all so ,i think, there is no need to edit the map level 1

[SquareSteelBar]

Problem is I can't make it any smaller than 1024 X 768. If I do then I can't display the data...Ok I can live with that.

...It's ready to be used but I won't officially release it until I figure out this minimizing error that some users experience at times...There's an easy workaround: don't minimize... :yep:

So let me see...you minimize the app and when you restore it you see a box in the middle saying 'Generatig map' right? If so, this is normal and expected (because the DirectX device was 'lost' and everything has to be re-initialized). Is this the error you speak of or something else?

I will make a change so you can save the terrain.act file to another location :up:

There is this crazy guy on the site that has a Damage Caused by Fires mod and a DC Water Disturbance mod. I use them! They are great. Let me know how to use the app when it is ready.

I like map pic no. 2, becuase it looks just like the view I had of the middle east from a jet airliner when I flew to Saudi Arabia years ago.

[TheDarkWraith]

Was finally able to duplicate and trap the minimize error :D So yes I fixed it now.

v0.0.14: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1OAM9NSL

If you are saving as .act file you have the option to choose folder to save to
If you are saving as .tga file you can choose folder and filename to save to

Everything should be 100% functional now :yeah: Barring no bug reports I'll make an official release in a couple of days.

[TheDarkWraith]

v0.0.15: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UR2WIX67

Fixed some logic errors in the buttons

A colormap is now generated in memory to help speedup the map rendering

You can now take a screenshot of the map in the display or the raw map (4320 X 2160). Screenshots are saved in folder app was started from and will be called SHMapViewer_currentdate_currenttime.tga where currentdate and currenttime and the current date and time

:|\\

[SquareSteelBar]

v0.0.14 is working fine so far.

In v0.0.15 when I'm asked 'Would you like to use .....Terrain.act instead?' and click 'No' appears an error:

So let me see...you minimize the app and when you restore it you see a box in the middle saying 'Generatig map' right? If so, this is normal and expected (because the DirectX device was 'lost' and everything has to be re-initialized). Is this the error you speak of or something else?

I will make a change so you can save the terrain.act file to another location :up:

Yes TDW, I was talking for the error that appeared when you tried to minimize the app (the same that SquareSteelBar described to you ) but i see that this is allready solved at your 0.14 version :up:
also, thank you very much for the addition to save the terrain.act wherever user want ! thats it !:up:
something else that i notice (very tiny !) is that if user tries to adjust the values at RGB adjusters of your app(via num numbers) ....the side effect is that app is changing also the gradients.tga at the 'selected' area becuase both ('adjusters' and 'selected area') are using the num numbers. better to allow user changing the gradients.tga only via the 'g' button .

with version 0.15 i get exactly the same error message like the SquareSteelBar (version 0.14 also works perfect for me).

[TheDarkWraith]

with version 0.15 i get exactly the same error message like the SquareSteelBar (version 0.14 also works perfect for me).

Learned something new from that error that some users were experiencing :D :yeah:

v0.0.16: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XD12AYU

Fixes error posted by SSB and verified by makman94. Once again only some people had this error :-?

Good morning. Let's try again! :salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

v0.0.17: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9TQYEW5E

was trying to optimize in addition to adding the screenshot ability and it backfired :damn:

This removes the optimizations and takes it back to stable version with addition of screenshot ability. Let me know how you like the screenshot ability.

[TheDarkWraith]

something else that i notice (very tiny !) is that if user tries to adjust the values at RGB adjusters of your app(via num numbers) ....the side effect is that app is changing also the gradients.tga at the 'selected' area becuase both ('adjusters' and 'selected area') are using the num numbers. better to allow user changing the gradients.tga only via the 'g' button .

Here's how it works (or should be working):
When the app is loaded everything is using the same gradient (map, selected, and editing) and the Gradients color changer box (indicies) is loaded with colors from that gradient. If you press G to cycle through available gradients then obviously the selected gradient changes. To adjust the colors (indicies) of the selected gradient that you have chosen you have to press the load colors button. Pressing that button will change the editing gradient to the selected gradient. That will load the colors from the selected gradient into the editing colors box. Now when you edit any color index in the gradients editor box it will update the index color and also update the editing gradient so that you can see the change. To apply the editing gradient to the map you have to press the editing gradient's map button. Anytime you press the load colors button the selected gradient will be replaced and all changes are lost.
Pressing any gradient's map button will cause that gradient to be used for rendering of the map and the map will be reshown using it.
Pressing any gradient's save button will save the gradient shown in that gradient box to a file.

yes TDW , I have understand all these (i have allready created my first version for map colors ) . i think that you didn't understand what i told you so look at the following pic .

ps: your last version ( 0.17) works perfect for me (haven't notice any issue)

still 'exists' in version 0.17 too ( the pic is from your last -0.17- version).

I didn't get the 'problem' to reproduce until I entered an invalid value. Fixing now :up:

Going to add something also:
at app start it asks if you want to use the game file or not. If you opt not to I'm going to have it ask you if you want to specify a gradient to use (select one from a GUI) or let it use the default gradient (current behavior)

You open explorer to view files and you navigate to where you recently saved the gradientx.tga file. You double click it via mouse thus asking explorer to open it up using the default program associated with tga files correct? And when doing so it crashes? It's quite possible this can happen with some image editors because the tga is a very strange size and bit depth (width 256, height 1, bit depth of 24bpp). Try right clicking the file and selecting open with and using another image editor (I use photoshop and it has no problems with the saved tgas).

[SquareSteelBar]

Nothing to do with associated prog.
When single clicking [right or left] the file WE immediately crashes.

Can you possibly send me the file in question so I may test it on my system?

[SquareSteelBar]

Hard to get access to it since WE crashes when I try.

Will try to pack it by WinRAR.


Here you are: http://www.file-upload.net/download-3699291/gradient.rar.html

After I saved gradient.tga to a different folder the crashes also happen with the .tga files inside SHMapViewer_0_0_18_by_TheDarkWraith folder although they haven't been changed [checksum].
Since WE doesn't work properly after the crash [freeze] I'm forced to reboot the system.

That all seems to me like parts of WE are kicked out of memory whilst saving the tga...

I can open the file with Photoshop and can use Explorer to open it up (double clicking it - Win7 Ultimate 64bit). I can also open it up with the app with no problems :hmmm:

[SquareSteelBar]

After system reboot I can open the file by double clicking with the associated prog but when I try to 'Open with' by right clicking WE crashes again.

But the loop way is working: 1. starting e.g. Photoshop, 2. menu bar 'File' 3. 'Open' and loading the file - no prob.

But right click in WE let it crash [maybe 'crash' is the wrong term -> WE window is closed], so I open WE again but now any access is impossible, WE window is immediately closed, open it again now WE freezes and I'm forced to reboot [relogin doesn't eliminate the error, restarting WE via task manager either].

[SquareSteelBar]

Just tried it on a VM with WinXP Pro SP3. What do you think?
All is working well... :rotfl2:

So there seems to be something wrong on my OS. Maybe some kind of incompatibility. http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs4/i/2004/244/a/f/Don__t_Know_Emote.gif

Don't worry farther about that...

So to be clear:
I need .NET 3.5 or better to run this?
I'm running a winxp SP2 machine (I need to get it connected to the internet to get sp3 :oops: ) and .NET 4 says it needs sp3 to run?
Is there anything else other than the download itself that I need to run this?

Yes you need .NET 3.5 or better. You also need Microsoft's DirectX installed (and updated to latest version via web updater). All rendering is done using DirectX (no OpenGL or anything like that). Those along with the app is all you need.
