Speed Conversion Charts

[Niteowl84]

hey guys,

was just wondering if there is a downloadable or printable version of the speed conversion charts? i seem to not have them anymore for reasons im thinking pertaining to other mods overwriting them or something... rather then mess with those i was just wondering if i can print out a copy of this chart someplace?

I don't think there are printable versions of charts.
But what you can do is get an application such as photoshop to read dds, open any userchart folder you find in latest NewUIs or Sjizzle's - Charts for NewUIs ByTheDarkWraith, or RPM hydrophone merchant 2.0, and open the dds files in it.
You'll find all the charts you need, and then will be able to resize it and print it :up:

ok sweet thanks fifi appreciate it :) ill try that out later this evening :)

hey fifi sorry man i gave it a go with photoshop but it wouldnt open the dds file cause its not the right file type apparently lol ...was wondering that if by any chance if you have those installed would it be to much to ask you to screen shot the 2 speed conversion charts for me so i can probably write it out?

Is that the ones you're talking about?
Is it what you want - JPEG images?

There are several programs that will open DDS. I use a free program called Gimp. You have to add the dds plugin in, but you should be able to open and print the dds once you do. :hmmm:

I added the following to UserChart_Default.tdw in data\usercharts:

[Chart]
Category=Speed conversions
Name=Knots in meters per minute
Filename=TabelleMin_English.dds
Size=-1,-1
Position=40,20
Draggable=1
ToolTip=conversion chart for knots in meters per minute



[Chart]
Category=Speed conversions
Name=Knots in kilometers per hour
Filename=TabelleStd_English.dds
Size=-1,-1
Position=60,20
Draggable=1
ToolTip=conversion chart for knots in kilometers per hour

Now i can see them again when i select them.

Gonna have to bump this post, just recently decided to play yet again lol can never get enough of this game...still dont got the conversion table tho, tried opening the TDW fiel but have no idea how to do it, any suggestions on how to get this table im pretty well sitting dead in the water until i figure it out.

PShop CS has a free (IIRC) plugin that will read/write .dds files. Or download Paint.NET, which is freeware.

In Silent Hunter 5/Data/Menu/Gui, you'll find four files:

TabelleMin.dds
TabelleMin_English.dds
TabelleStd.dds
TabelleStd_English

Them're it! Choose English or Deutsch, open, and print out.

Dude so many thanks for that, your awesome!! cant seem to find tablemin tho...but got tablestd which is a massive help!! would that tablemin be somewhere else perhaps or am i missing it altogether?

[Sjizzle]

best free and easy to use software to print them is paint.net

It's TabelleMin.dds, and, if it's not in Silent Hunter 5/Data/Menu/Gui, then it's missing. Mebbe a mod took it out? JSGME can do that, but it doesn't seem necessary. Look in Silent Hunter 5/Mods/!Backup and see if JSGME has saved a backup of it. The extension will tell you which (if any) mod called for its removal.

[Niteowl84]

yeah took a look into that folder as well but couldnt locate it...any chance you got an extra copy kickin around so i can download it and print it out? or even a screenshot would do but if ya dont its perfectly cool dont want ya to go through any trouble. i might be able to screenshot one form a tutorial on youtube or something lol

[BigWalleye]

How about just deactivating all your mods, then looking for it? AFAIK, if you used JSGME, you can't actually lose anything beyon recovery.
