Rec book too bright

[bstanko6]

Here’s one for you guys. I have TWOS and the recognition book is really bright against a dark scope. Hard to see. Can the brightness be lowered on the book?

[Ashikaga]

That would only be possible if someone would edit the light map for that entire object.

Ok. Thanks. Maybe a future mod?

Hi!!!
I tried to make the recognition book darker and I can make it even darker. I can do a JSGME and TWoS compatible mod if you want it.

Ahh...Torpedo again! Very nice..very nice. Yes, the "stock" TWoS book is too bright at night, much too bright.:yep:

Your fix Torpedo.. - you only changed the background i hope. That would be very fine. Please upload a version that we could test this beta.

Iam sure Vecko will add the final selection (mod).

Thanks Torpedo. :up:

[bstanko6]

That’s perfect! I assume it’s not an easy fix? Something I can’t do right here right now? I’m no modder. but if not I would love this mod! thanks!

[bstanko6]

did you use GIMP?

[Torpedo]

Hi all!!!
I used Paint.NET v4.0.21, it's a free program and it's very simple to use especially for the ".dds" format. Now give me time to darken all the flags and the mod will be ready in a few days. I uploaded the file recognitionmanual.dds in Paint.NET so with the rectangular section tool I highlighted the part of the page of the recognition book to be darkened. I used the brightness / contrast tool and I decreased the values to -50 for brightness and -30 for contrast. So I had to darken the three flags, which you see in the image I posted, in the same way, because they are very bright in the original mod and the result seemed good to me.
I'm glad you enjoyed it but I can always change the brightness and contrast values as you prefer.

Awesome thanks

Hi all!
Here is my version for a darker recognition manual, "Darker Recognition Manual v1.0 by Torpedo".
This mod is compatible with JSGME and TWoS and can be installed at any time because it only contains graphic files. I hope in the future to be able to evenly darken the images of some ships that have a too light background.

Awesome Torpedo... thanks!

[bstanko6]

Just tested it! good work dude! appreciate it. this is way better. Before I was blinded by the contrast of the dark scope and the bright rec book. This is just what this game needed.

Thanks Torpedo!!!This is much better :salute:

[Torpedo]

Thank you all for your appreciation. Now I am checking and arranging more than 200 ships for the silhouette with a too light background and for now I have arranged 20 ships, but I hope within a few days to complete the remaining ships. These silhouettes come from different mods with different graphics, I try to standardize the brightness and contrast.
See you soon ... with version 2.0!

Oh if we could get a proper recognition manual as the germans used ;)

Just silhouettes.

Hi Ashikaga!
It is not a big problem to replace the shapes that are in the "Sea" folder in SH5 with the shapes that were in the original recognition manuals, it is just to create a mod that replaces the files "anyship_sil.dds" with the new files with dimensions 512x256 pixels and in dds format, the problem is to find all the silhouttes for more than 200 boats that are in the recognition manual of SH5 with the TWoS mod.
It is already a wonderful thing that Vecko has added many boats but that unfortunately have different origins and therefore different graphic appearance. However the important thing is to have them as they are in the recognition manual.
Unfortunately I do not have these 200 silhouettes and I am darkening the silhouttes that have a too light background to make them uniform. Having all the 200 original silhouttes that come from a single source would really be the best!
I hope that someone might find these 200 silhouettes from a single source to be graphically identical.

Torpedo, could you please update the last version with the new entries from TWoS v2.2.4 - thanks!! :D:salute:

That wont be necessary excel4004 since Torpedo's mod only contains dds files. It's perfectly fine to use it even with latest TWoS if you like it...:yep:

Cheers! :salute:

Hi all!
Here is my last version for a darkened recognition manual, "Darkened Recognition Manual v2.0 by Torpedo".
This mod is TWoS compatible and can be activated with JSGME at any time because it only contains graphic files.
In this mod I darkened the manual, the flags and the silhouettes of 56 ships that were too light.
