Nav Map color change for night time.

[Gairith]

Was messing around with some things and came up with this, probably already been done but I was amused. :88) Map only looks like this at night.

Looks cool.

BTW, what mod allows you to put the gauges on top of the Officer panel?

I never understood why the map should get darker at night. I mean it's not like the sunlight has stopped streaming in the subs windows...

Rig for Red - running red light at night

Ottos Slide out compass mod (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=37558)

The new version has the gauges and chrono changes.

The DL link for the new one, only the slide out bar wasn't working. It sait the link was deleted because of to long time no DL!

Do you know how to get it in some way? (The new version)

[Gairith]

Its available at http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/

File under Mods section named "EX_Rasinban_v1.2_forSH3(1.4ready).rar

[rulle34]

Yes, but I meant the newer verson, only with this gaugh mod.

[_alphaBeta_]

Anyone who's been following this - is there an easy way to just add the mini FBAC panel of dials above the officers? It doesn't need to be mouse-over, in fact I would like it if it stayed there permanently.

how do I get just the version of the map? Does it adjust automatically to day and night? Thanks it looks great

Yes it changes with day (normal color) and night (what you see here). I didn't mean to make it a public mod but I will make up a readme and get the file up if people want it.

I don't know of the version without the slideout big compass. I will look into the cfg file and see what I can do unless Ottos has it done up already.

Im in for this too, and thanks Gairith for checking out :up:

[Farside]

definately installing this when i get my new sound card :)

[Gairith]

The map download is in the original post.

[Tim D]

Gairith, I just downloaded it and it looks and works great!!!! Thank you so much, it makes it easier on the eyes at night and darken ship.

[Gairith]

Great! I'm glad you like it. :D

Rig for Red - running red light at night.

I guess you're right but it isn't really red, but more like a regular light bulb that's too dim for the purpose.

[Gairith]

The mini FBAC guages are here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/4131178/Mini_FBAC.zip.html

I have also uploaded them to Terrapins site.

These are NOT compatible with RUB or any mod that modifies the menu_1024_768.ini file.

[martes86]

Hmmm, that light seems more like if they had ordered a "rig for blue". :hmm:

[redstorm101]

Great! I'm glad you like it. :D


Gairith! I am so pleased to see this mod! I have a post awhile back asking how to do this for the whole boat .If I recall the post is" rig for red mod". In this post we where playing with the thought of having the option to rig for red,blue,and white. Also there was talk of how to have the option of rigging at the captain's command, not by the sim's time clock..And this possible mod was thought of to give comfort to the "captains" eyes. I often boot up and return to my missions in the evening, after I let winston my 15 year old dog "best friend" out and my wife is well off to sleep. I start and resume my mission.

This is the scenario:
It's 10pm at night,my time..real time..In my mission it's 2pm daylight...mission time...I have the realism setting and mods set so I have no external views outside my uboat..It would be great for me and other captains to have the option to "rig" at their own discretion...simply put, It's easer on the eye's.

And yes,before there is a joke from the "other guys"...turning down the contrast on the monitor is not a effective option.
Gairth! your getting me and other captains closer to this option in a round about way! I love your Idea of the"blue map mod"! With a great deal of respect, can you take this mod to the next level? With that said, I greatly do appreciate the work you have done.
Bravo!!.....

Big thanks Gairith! :up:
For all users with Rub 1.43: The file menu_1048_724 is not fully compatible with RUb 1.43. It changes the small mod for "hiding the shorcuts bar" and the crosshairs in the binoculars. If you want this features, then make the values like this:

[G3F I21]
Name=Group shortcuts

ItemID=0x3F020000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=1,761,56,474
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
HorizSlide=-56

and in this post, remove the lines marked in yellow:

[G27 I12]
Name=Viewport
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x27000001
ParentID=0x27000000
Pos=32,730,960,586

I was actually looking into this idea when I stumbled across the map color. :yep:
I am a bit busy at the moment, but when I get freed up I plan to look more into it. I don't think the option will be at the captain’s command since I believe the change is hard-coded. :hmm:
