Due to the high amounts of changes in the menu1024_768.ini you have to use the MenuMerger(included) to add the changes in the menu1024_768.ini.

Otherwise you will not see any changes.



First add the Mod with JSGME and then merge with the MenuMerger.

New Version of MenuMerger added (With Progress Bar for bigger Merge Files)

Lovely! I especially like the torpedo tube buttons and switches. Since I'm never satisfied, can we have a German version? :up:

I second the motion for German versions. Would be great to see this for Fifi's Dark Waters Mod.

I do not knew this mod, never played the german side in SH4:hmmm:
But as i see in the youtube video it has well done moving switches.
I will download the mod and look inside. :salute:


PS:

Ok, downloaded and installed. And now i see what you want. The switches only switch automatically when a torpedo is fired. They only simulated the opening and closing of the torpedodoor.


As Fifi changed so much, a normal mod will not be compatible to this one. Therefore i will finished first the normal one and then try to upgrade Fifi's Mod.

I will provide you the latest version of my SH_Menu1024_Editor application, designed to easily edit the menu_1024_768.ini File.
It helps me a lot in replacing graphics in the Game. Specially cropping the images can do very easy.

Much better than the old one; the standard torpedo panels really needed a facelift. Jimimadrid is like a magician...lol:up:

V0.5a avaialable. Removed a bug that overwrites the Backuped line which is marked with ' '. Now the original line is only backuped. This helps for testing with different values without loosing the original line.

More than ready for the "Jerry" version! Stock German image is just plain weird with big rust streaks and yellow paper; IMHO "Shells of Fury" and "Danger from the Deep" looked nicer. Too many interface items in SH4 seemed rushed or bizarre.

* Updated in First Post with the German Version included*
