6 Dials- Simfeeling Mod!

[FLB sale U-999]

Hi all!


This is my 6 Dials- Simfeeling Mod.


With this Modification u will get a new gameplayfeeling for this great sim!


!This Mod is only for those, who are using the TransparenteConsole Mod + Slideoutconsole, or for those who would like to use it!


This mod is NOT compatible with the 4 Dials Slideoutmod! U can only use the Slideoutsection from this Mod if u want to!


With this mod u will have a new textfield with a other Font, enlarged Messagefield and the ability to scroll the complete Messagefield very easy with a Drag&Drop function.


This modification was a very hard part of work, with editing, making new Textures and trying, trying and trying to get all to work how i wanted to have. On this is the Reason why u MUST go this Readme step by step, to get all right and correct to work!
U must insert/add every single Number, Letter and all Symbols correctly, like described down, or it could be that something will not work properly or u causes crashes or something like that.

So, please read this Readme very carefully and go this Installation step by step to get this Mod to work properly.

I cannot give u a finsihed Menu_1024.768.nin or dials.cfg, because there are so many Mods out there, which are affecting those Files and have different changes there.
Especially those ID Numbers and those IXXX numbers are individually different by everyone`s Files. So u will have to add/insert them by yourself.

But it`s not so dramatic, u just go point after point and on that way it will be easy to install this mod on your Game!

It`s necessary to set those XXX Numbers manually, i know it is a lot of work to retype 60 Blocks or more.....but u all know: It`s a long way to......;)



First i wann thank some People!

Thank`s goes to:

-S-XPress from German Ubisoft forum, which gave me the tipp to look at

Ex_Rasinban`s Big Slideout Compass!

-Ex_Rasinban for his great Compass, where i learned a lot of the needfull adds and

edits in the dials.cfg and the menu_1024_768.ini Files!

-FLB Chebawookee for the awesome, new Compass texture, which was a very hard and nice work!

-Oak_Groove for his fantastic Textures from Bordinstrumente 1.0 Mod!

-Frontflottille for their Slideoutconsole which i use a very long time.

-tienman74 for his new Compasspointer, which i overworked just a little bit and put it into this Mod.

Sry, if i forgot somebody ;)


Second i wann excuse my none perfect english! I hope u can understand all written things in this Readme. Sorry!





Short Story:

So, one thing i really missed a long time in this great Sim, was the ability to have precise and large Dials for the Main steering of the U-Boat. That Main steering is the most important thing in a Simulation, what Genre ever, which were really to small, to inaccurate, to uncomfortable and really to Arcadelooking.

For that Reason i maked (after a lot of trying, editing and testing) complete ,,new" Maindials, which are large and will give a feeling that u are really playing a simulation. Now u can work with the Maindials precise, accurate and more comfortable!

The Original Console (those 6 Dials at the right Bottom) will be deactivated by this Mod, because they are replaced by this ,,new" ones. The togglefunction stays the same, the text also just the positions and some smaller things are changed....

You will also have a new Scrollfield for the Messages, which is Drag&Drop. Also a new font used for the Text Messages in the Textfield and an enlarged one, which goes completely to the right Screen to have longer Texts visible there. Because now there is enough Space at the right bottom, so an enlarged Textfield to use that ,,new" free Space there....

Ok, i think u should give this mod a chance and just try it onces, then u will know what i mean with all that! ;)



Ok, here the new Dials.....

You switche/toggle the dials like before with the black Button....this here is the new 260 Meter Depthdial....

The Speedtelegraph....

http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/7316/mtelegraph1fw.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

When u toggle them, then there will be the Knotsdial, for more precise Speedinput....

http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/746/knoten9zz.jpg (http://imageshack.us)



The Compass, which was built by FLB Cheba, with the new Pointer of tienman74....
Now should be precise Coursesetting no game of luck anymore....

http://img283.imageshack.us/img283/1347/kompass5xp.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


And those who wants much more precise Coursesettings, those can do this now with the new Rudder! I placed behind those TGA a second Compass, which u can see now through a small window in the Rudder. there u will be able to see which course u are running or going to run, when working with the Rudder. Because in original game, i was never able to see which course i am now running when i set Rudder to 20 degrees Bkb or Stb....so for what do i have a rudder? Now u can work properly with the rudder!

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8648/ruder2pj.jpg (http://imageshack.us)



How i said, now u have a new Console because the old one is deactivated....

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4876/neuekonsole3du.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

This new console will slide out if u move to the Bottom with ur Mouse which i marked red.....

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5486/slideout9bq.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The Textfieldsize should be enough large now. Now u can scroll the complete Textfield with the Drag&Drop prinzip. U just Move somewhere on the Textfield and press left Button, hold em, and Move up or Down. so u scroll it very easy and don`t have anymore to do this on those small, ugly Sliders which are really too small and nasty to scroll with em.......the new Font gives al little bit more Flair into the whole thing, i think..... ;)

Hi!

Thank`s for so compliments....

It was the hard work worth!

@ Cdre Gibs


I am not sure what u mean with an english version?

I have no english dials! I have used those from Oakgroove`s Bordinstrumente mod.


If u mean the German Texts and so on....that is just on Screenshots German.

It doesn`t matter if u use the German or English gameplay.
U will have ur own Texts, u have set in the SHIII options.....

The text/messages Field is english in your Version! And it will be English.

Because there are no Textfroms changed, only the Positions and so on.

Don`t care about the German Screenshots. U will have english Texts there standing like before. that was not touched!


Read the Readme, and u will see that there is no MUST HAVE GERMAN Version or whatever....

@ ALL

I used just my German Screenshots, because i play with german texts. but this Mod is for all players, no matter if German, English, French, Spanish or whatever!


Sorry if it is iritating u that there is German staying.....

Here what i mean. i have setted to English Language in the options....

I like it! Good work! It makes the screen much less cluttered.

One question: would it be possible for you to make a version that uses the compass from the Bordinstrumente mod, as I see you've done with the other dials?

EDIT: second question: I see the slideout icons for the different stations (e.g, periscope, comamnd room, etc.) are transparent when viewing them on the navigation map, the conning tower, etc. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

[jimmie]

I've been waiting for this! This will be a very big addition to the game; it will make the game really new! I'm however, yet waiting for TDC panels as well. Since I am not yet using any of transpearent console etc, when everything's done, I download everything at once and make a custome JSGME ready package for myself...

Ja, editing menu_1024_768.ini is a pain in the a**. Will someone write a small program which makes editing menu_1024_768.ini like file easier...? :lol: like listing "section" entries and allows you to edit/insert new section text while keeping multiple entries (different editing) with comment (for which mod and so forth), a somewhat generic config file parser...


Thank you very much for your hard work :up: :up: :up:

[Letum]

:up: Thankyou

[The Avon Lady]

This is very nice work! :up:

Suggestion:

I like the game's 3 dial display because I can quickly view/change all three very fast. This mod only allows 1 dial to be viewed at a time.

Is there a way to have the best of both, i.e., display a small 3-dial console, click a button on it and the large dials are displayed instead, click another button to restore the 3-dial console?

Sounds like a great idea-I'd definately appreciate this if at all possible.
Another question: I'm using the 400m depth guage as I'm sure a lot of people are-can this be modded as an option?

FLB
Regardless this is great work and is much appreciated-Thank You for all the effort. :up:

All is workin perfectly , well done FLb, you're really strong ! :up:

Can´t wait to see the "Manual Torpedo" thing :yep:

I installed your great mod today, but i have some problems to get it

ok here is a pic about my problem *a picture says more than thousand words :D

http://www.fangarts.de/sh3/fehlers.jpg (http://www.fangarts.de/sh3/fehler.jpg)

i checked the read_me and my entrys thousand times :D but i can´t find the error :hmm:

Thanks for reply

Keep up the great work

[kapitanfred]

This is excellent :up:

Just to slightly going off the topic, I noticed on the Hydrophone picture, the text says: "17:20 SO: Range to target is 1650!

How can I get the SO to say that? I have not ever seen that before?

[Tikigod]

Wow JUST 20 steps for installation!!! what is the uninstall like? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Looks good...Is there a light version? maybe keeps all the bottom stuff but adds just the 6 enlarged dials to the right?

[zoso791]

I have a problem. After installing the beautiful guages I started and I got this message:

Jan

Most likely you gonna have to triple check your 1024 ini file.

[Boris]

Awesome mod!

Is there any way to make the background for the station buttons on the left and the officer commands darker again?... since you have to use the transparency mod.
If I dont use it there is a dark bar right where the top of the old interface should have been.
Its just that the fully tranparent buttons look really shoddy against light backrounds like the nav-map.

[Boris]

I just realised the textfield really needs a dark backround too, its hardly readable against the navmap and the bordintrumente 1.0 periscope i'm using.

[Boris]

Another afterthought... could I just have the console stay out all the time? I'm sure theres something in the Menu_1024_768.ini that changes this, just don't know what or where.
It's just that I like to see what TC I'm on and what radio messages/kontact updates I'm getting without having to make the console pop up from the bottom all the time.

[Boris]

Ok... I'm an idiot... just found out to deactivate the slide in the readme :88)

THX jimmie for reply :up:

I checked my *.ini back ... the [G3F I34] entries are correctly

[GlobalExplorer]

@FLB sale U-999: This mod looks excellent. I just think the installation is too complicated. Do you think about offering an automatic installation program? If you need simple program code to create / change the entries with SetPrivateProfileString() I can send them to you. It would certainly be easier to do it once for all users, then let everyone go through that ordeal :)

Great work!

[Fangschuss]

Problem solved

after reinstall :sunny:

[FLB sale U-999]

I like it! Good work! It makes the screen much less cluttered.

One question: would it be possible for you to make a version that uses the compass from the Bordinstrumente mod, as I see you've done with the other dials?

Hi guys!


Ok, i think it is no Problem to have the compass u want. Because it`s is only changing the Textures there. So i will look if i find good Textures, which are sharp enough for enlarging them, and built one with the Original Compass from the Bordinstrumente mod.
I can do this only next week, because i have not much time at the moment. I have to finsih and release first my TDC&UZO&Peri Mod.


The second thing......hmmm That`s is the big Problem in that game. because all those things use the same Background TGA like for those Pannel and also for the Konsole Background.....

But i think i have a good solution for that Problem. Will test that next week to built an extra Block into the MenuXXXX.ini that uses another Background.tga and let work it as the Background for the Pannel up there....have to see, but really early next week.....


@ Fangschuss

Nice that u like it and much more nice that u could solve the Problem! :)

@GlobalExplorer

I gave u right! The insatllation isn`t easy! but believ me, i tried to make the Readme (with my bad english knowledge) so easy to go how i could. I think that all will work easy when u go the Guide step by step, and make no misstakes there.
I do not know what u mean with a Programm which could install everything by himself. Don`t know if that works? Because u MUST set those IXXX Numbers indivdually by everyone different, so a automatic installation will not be possible i think.

Thank u very much for ur effort, try it. If it works then it would be great to have such a EXE File which we could just start and it would do everything necessary byhimself! :)


@ tikigod

U said it, only 20 Steps for installation. i tried to write everywhere which was changed, something that u know for what it is and what it does. Hope so. Unstallation isn`t easy, so if anyone isn`t sure if he wnats this Mod, then please don`t install it! There is a smaller Version, the 4 DialsslideoutMod, i made. That should be for all those who want to let theri Console how it is but just the important Dials a little bit bigger.....

There is no light Version, sry.

No way for just adding them to the Right. because i have had to deactivate the Original Console, because i needed the MenuIDs for this Bigger Dials.


@ kapitanfred

? No idea what u directly mena with that?
In my game i have by every Message shown the Time before.

Don`t know what to do for that thing!?


@ Jochem

:D

Hope that someone will like it, like me.

I think that i can finish and create a Readme on Saturday afternoon, if i have enough time. But should a good release termin.



Oh, guys. The Installation will be much more Bigger then this one!
Over 150 New Blocks for the Menu_1024_768.ini and 27 new Dials for the Dials.cfg...... :lol:

(Damn, that was hard enough to create this things to work how i wanted to have...:dead: )

But don`t fear! It is easy to install! Because u don`t have to change much things, like those IXXX Numbers, because i know NO OTHER Mods which are affecting those Groups in the MenuXXX.ini.
So there should be easy Copy&Paste installation. but wait, u will see it!


@ The Avon Lady

Sry, but that will not Work i think. To make new 3 Dials and include them somehwere to have (Big Problem is the space where to have them, because there isn`t much free space) them, should be no Prob. But that is not what i want to have in the game. That is the Reason why i deactivated those small dials, which i hated so long time!

But maybe when i will have some free time i will built this mod out. With new Features or so.....time will see. If anybody else can look at that or would like to built them, then please do it! :up:


@ jimmie


,,Ja, editing menu_1024_768.ini is a pain in the a**."

:D Don`t say me that. lol

But i think that a Proggie would be great to have for this editing section! You should talk with GlobalExplorer!

[GlobalExplorer]

Hm, I think it might be possible to write an installer, and not extremely hard, as the structure of the files is that of an .ini file. There exist functions in win32 for reading writing those files that are very simple and very good, unfortunately some of the files in Sh3 can't be used with them. to be honest I am a bit worried about those colons and commentaries in the menu file, which could mean they could not be used like standard .ini files. If that should be the case, it would be harder, but still doable.

I think this mod is fantastic, so if you find somebody who can do some basic programming, I could send you some code how to easily write the entries. All you would have to do is insert the many values you change.

But, hm, it's a possibility, i don't think it's without problems though.

GE

P.S. Ich spreche auch Deutsch. Wenn du Fragen hast, schick mir 'ne pm.

[WolfyBrandon]

I just tryed to install this mod... Went through all the steps and added the new numbers like the readme says but when the game is about to load and says Initializing I get this warning error

Menu ID Not Found: 0x3f1c0007!

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4041/clipboard010eh.th.jpg (http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=clipboard010eh.jpg)


***EDIT***

Fixed the problem, I accidently skipped a number for all the new entrys I had to add in the 1024 file. I fixed the numbers and everything is working perfectly now.

I Have to say, this mod really changes the game for the better, the menu's are out of the way and when you do need to use them they are visible and big enough to do exactually what you want. This is how SH3 should have been in the first place, I highly recommend this though the install is a little scary :)

Nice Work FLB sale U-999, Superb Mod! and a big thumbs up from me to you! :up: :rock: :rock:

Nice to hear! :D

Hope u can all enjoy that Mod!


Udates for him will come next week!


@ Global Explorer

I think that u should me explain that one time more in German! :) Maybe i will understand it better...

Hehe, ich glaube auf Deutsch wärs echt am Besten! Kannst mir ja ne PM schreiben, weil es interessiert mich jetzt schon was genau damit gemeint wird. Klingt
zumindest komfortabel! ;)

I have your 4 dial slideout mod installed and really like it. In the readme of this mod you state that this mod is not compatable with the 4 dial one.
So what do I do with the 4 dial mod, and all the changs I made to install it? Do I leave it and install this one over it, or do I have to reverse all the changes I made in the files?
irish1958

[Jochem]

....



Irish, hope you'd saved the ini before add the change. So here what u must to do. Deinstall completely the 4dials cause it's not compatible with the 6 dials.

Install the 6dials. Use JSGME for better use. I explain. I copy a "clean" 1024x768.iniand include it in the mode at the right way, add the change asked by the 6dials mod, and JSGME do the rest :up:

[irish1958]

I have a problem, and I have been over the installation process several times and can't find what I have done wrong.
Nothing slides except the large gages on the right side. The konsol is the same as the orginal, not the new one. I modified the IUB 1.02 menu_1064_768 ini file. I uninstalled the 4 game mod first, but this new mod is about the same on my machine.
If I can figure out how to get imageshack to work, I can PM you some screen shots; even better I can email you some screen shots if you wish.

@ Nikuta


Please check your Entry for the Leer.tga in your Menu_1024_768.ini!

It should be something
[G31 IXXX]

U must set the IXXX number as the last entry in that Grup. Thew Chrono is working in the G3F or G31 Group? Or, shows she on every Station or only on Navimap?

Maybe there is a duplicated IXXX Number or something in that direction......

@irish1958

Ok, just load it up at Imageshack!

Make first a JPEG, then load her up and then post the shown link here.....


I don`t know if IUB is using or changing the Menu_1024_768.ini file in something which could be the reason for that Consoleproblem....

Or Load ur Menu...ini up, so i can take a look at it when i have time.....

[FLB sale U-999]

Very nice! But how did you replace the white bar at the bottom of the nav map? I thought is was hardcoded...

Nice mod :sunny:



It isn`t replaced!
There is just laying a TGa over it!

It`s the Leer.tga which u can download from several People here.
The necessary Entry for the Leer.tga in the Menu...ini is at the end of the Readme for my Simfeeling Mod!

[FLB sale U-999]

What is with that Chrono???

Is it installed only on Navimap?

Maybe the ItemID is duplicated or already used by another Mod.

Do have put the Leer.tga into the right folder?

[NiKuTa]

number is not duplicated, end i put a Leer.tga to correct folder.

This is my file
http://serek.one.pl/~nikuta/menu_1024_768.ini

[FLB sale U-999]

Ok, i set the Leer.tga bevore those Chrono Entries....

now it should work. Don`t know why he it not worked...

I have the same problem and yes I added the ; to the Pos=290,131,330,130 entry.


Edit: Did some more testing and found something strange.
Running SH3 in 1024x768 everything is OK, but if I use the d3d9 stuff to increase the resolution to 1280x1024 the old dials are visible.

An other small issue with the slide out console:

At the moment it is possible to move the mouse cursor outside the visible screen below the two new consoles and they don't slide out.

It would be nice if you could fix this issue.

[kiwi_2005]

WOW :o Another great mod!

I dont have hundreds of mods added to SH3 like alot of kapitans out there, but this mod im definatley gonna download.

:up: :rock:

Who has Problems with the visible old Console with high res?

What is the Problem there?

I will have time at the end of week and can fix that.

Thise mod is must have for all sh3 fans. Not so hard to install taked for me about 10 minits - sanks man good mod :rock: :rock: :ping:

[kiwi_2005]

I get that same error as savage wolfy

Menu ID Not Found: 0x3f1c0007!

But his fix didn't work for me

[WolfyBrandon]

kiwi_2005,

If you have the same error as me, you probably skipped a number for the new blocks in your 1024x768 file. I could swore when I did it I put in all the numbers correctly but after looking over it a couple times I saw I did infact skip a number. Just check all of your [G3F IXXX] entrys.

Wolfy

[oRGy]

Very nice work!

[Dimitrius07]

I think Savages_Wolf is right try to reinstall the mod and chek the numbers when you replace the text it should do the trick :hmm: :-?

Yup your right wolfy, i checked it for the 3rd time and found i missed one set of numbers, now she's working.

I think though i got the high res problem too. One of the dials is out of place a bit and the three dials on the left are backwards, example i click on flank and it instead goes to slow speed etc., but not a problem as i use the large dials on the right.

[Letum]

Please can we have a mirror for this excelent mod

[Emcon]

Who has Problems with the visible old Console with high res?

I have, well normally I don't have any problems, but I did see the old console a couple of times when alt-tabbing and using printscrn. So it is still there. :-?

I've got d3d9.dll installed...

Anyways its a must have! Great work!! :up: :up:

[kiwi_2005]

Just a question:
Is it possible to change the 3 dials into small windows [no bigger than those search windows u see on sites] where we type in the orders? Like we wanna go 50 feet we click on the window and type in 50feet or just, 50
For course we do the same 360 etc., and the same with depth.

Sort of like a text base.

[MarkQuinn]

Okay here's my dilemma.

One night I'm trying to install this mod and having trouble because of my own impatience. I really wish FLB had included the original block numbers in his readme so it would be just a matter of copy and paste. But hey, he did enough work on this mod. Why should he spend so much time renumbering when we're perfectly capable of doing it ourselves?

Well, SOME of us. For some reason I just couldn't get it right. My solution? Install the slideout mod HE had used, pasting the block numbers from that file, then pasting FLB's block numbers right behind it. Get two mods for the price of one AND have other people do all the numbering.

Well, problem is I don't really like the slideout mod. Makes the sides a little TOO cluttered for, and gets in the way of some things when scrolling in the map menu and using the recog-manual.

My question: what lines do I need to deactivate (using the ; symbol) in the original slideout mod's blocks to take it away from view? Or is this even possible?

Thanks all.

MQ

Edit: I tried deactivating all the lines from the slideout mod (aside from the block numbers themselves) but that didn't work --- got error messages when starting the program.

[MarkQuinn]

Oh BTW I have the high res/visible console problem too.

MQ

[Aqualung]

This mod looks brilliant :)

Is there anywhere else though I can get it though except RS? For some reason I can never download stuff from there - I just get a 'download invalid' message, even though I'm not using AOL or a proxy server :huh:

[FLB sale U-999]

Hi!


For those who have that Problem with the Old visible console with high Res Mod.

I have made this mod with my normal 1024x768 solution, so i cannot tell you how it works on high Res Mod.
Maybe it is not compatible with the HighRes Mod.....


Try this:
Because i don`t know that Mod and so i just can try it on this way...


Find that Block:

[G3F I34]
Name=Group feedback

ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
;Pos=290,131,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-141

and change the Pos line and VertSlide line into this:

;Pos=290,-200,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-500


Try it out, maybe it can help.....

Feedback please.

[mikaelanderlund]

Great! It works fine! No more problem with old console.

Any hope this mod will be hosted anywhere other than Rapidshare? (like u-boot.realsimulation.com) for example? I seem to have problems with RS :-?

[FLB sale U-999]

Ok, nice that we could fix that Problem :)

If anybody could upload it anywhere else with the Update, it would be great.

[JonZ]

I still have problems with the mod, no matter what resolution is it.

The new dials works but I get the new slideout console and officers console glitches. I get black transparent bars where it shouldn't and
the transparent dark bars on the new console is not stretched to full lenght.

I checked if I skipped a sequence and I found no skips :/

[JonZ]

http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/9364/bug5iv.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

heres a screeny of the bugs I get.


The slider is way too the left, the transparent BG on the message is not long enough to contain the messages and the top darker small rectangular block is always on.

I'm trying to edit the file myself but my knoledge on menu file is limited :/

[Mast]

Hi FLB Sale,

I finally decided to install your mod and it works like a charm! :up:
Thank you very much!!

Mast

P.S.- Now to install your TDC mod.

[Vonotto]

Could this be made into a pack that works with Jones mod enabler????

[Mast]

Could this be made into a pack that works with Jones mod enabler????

Yes it can, that's what I did. Takes a little time though.

Mast

[Nedlam]

Love this mod. I even got it to work with the mod enabler too first try. My problem is I like to see the status of my Uboat on one glance: heading, speed, depth. This doesn't allow for this.

It's a great mod though. I might try to "adjust" my routines to use it.

[ZanRod]

Thx, this is a really beautiful looking mod. Going to try it out now :cool:

And i've made a mirror to Megaupload for the guys that can't download from Rapidshare. :up:

Found a fix to make the bar stay up.... edit this in your menu_1024_768.ini file (the one you edited to add the mod)

see the ; before "Vertslide" at the bottom? add that.


This only keeps the bottom bar with TC + time up. I haven't bothered looking for the crew icons but i may.

[vodkaphile]

Hmm, anyone have any idea what's causing this....

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3927/bug9wr.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


I checked my mainorders.tga etc and they're fine so it has to be some positioning or something.

[WolfyBrandon]

I'm not sure what could be causeing that, but to me it looks like the buttons are to big so its only showing a part of them. In my game, when I click on my sonar guy and have him do a sweep, the button for that is right above the text not to the side. Maybe you did something wrong in the 1024x768 file? That would be my guess, unless you have another mod thats conflicting with the menu or something...

Is it doing that only for this order? If yes it maybe the sequence that call the mainorders.tga have been written over or accidentaly edited or the sequences that call the item has been skiped.

It sounds to me that a CROP command has been removed

[vodkaphile]

I'll check the crop commands thanks.

I probably bumped something, I was messing around in 1024x768 file to get some bars to stay up.

[Sailor Steve]

I finally finished a long patrol and installed the mod last night. At first I had a leftover version of the original dials, but on the LEFT side! After going back over it I finally figured it out-I had not installed the very last piece. Doing that cured it.

My opinion: let's see, great big dials that make it easy to get precise depth and compass settings, nothing on the screen at all except when I want to look at it, so no more 'Num Lock/Del' to take screenshots. How could it get any better?

Is it an absolute essential mod to play the game? No. Is it a 'must-have'? No. Is it so cool I'll never play without it again?

YOU DANG BETCHA IT IS!!! :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

[tedhealy]

I just wanted to write my appreciation for this mod too. :up: I love it and wouldn't play sh3 without it again. It's such a better user interface than the default one.

[Reece]

Hi, I have checked & rechecked but can't seem to get things going properly, I get all the large dials ok but the 3 old dials are still there on the left side :-? and there is a bar that appears on every screen just above the scrolling status bar (orders etc), also the map has a blank spot at the bottom where the dials, officer icons etc used to be! :-?
Could someone help please? :D
Thanks.

Try it !!!

[Reece]

Well that got rid of the 3 dials! :up: but there is still a bar directly above the status display (the part that shows the crews reports/orders). I do fail to see why altering the pos line would do anything as it is preceded by a semicolan! I may have to take out the hires mod & test!
Thanks.

[Reece]

Ok I put the Block back to:

[G3F I34]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
;Pos=290,131,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-141

Then removed the hi-res mod & the dials are gone so the above mod does works with Hi-Res! :up:
However I still have that Horizontal bar (about 1 line) above the 'Scrollfield for the Messages', there on all screens? :down:
Any ideas on this problem?
Thanks.

[Boris]

Did you install the transparent console mod?

[Reece]

No, in his readme it states:
"This Mod is only for those, who are using the TransparenteConsole Mod + Slideoutconsole, or for those who would like to use it"
I was not too sure what to make of this, I thought you didn't need it ( ....or for those who would like to use it) :)
Where can I get the mod please?
The thing is, the slideout section is already transparent!?
Rather confoosed I am! :-? :doh:
May be having a clash with a previous mod! :(

[Boris]

When I downloaded this mod a few months back, the tranparent console mod was already included. The zip file has two folders in it, one calledSlideoutAnzeigen and the other TranparenteKonsole... so you should already have it.

[Reece]

Oh YeH ..... There it is! :88) My glasses, wheres my glasses!! :rotfl:
Will give a try with this installed! :D
Tanks agin! :smug:

[Reece]

Thanks, all goes, pity the size of the dials are so big! :o
This all started out wanting Jonz large Rec Manual & really needed the status bar slidable.
Is there a mod to slide the bar but keep the old 3 dials on the bottom Right instead of the Huge ones?
Reece.

[Reece]

Hi, this is frustrating, regardless of Hi-Res mod the problem of the bar came back after enabling the stealth meter, Turning back off the black bar is still there! :x It's definitely the position of the stealth meter, although I changed the position in the following:

[G3F I139]
Name=Stealthmeter
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F380000
ParentID=0x3F0C0000; Original ParentID=0x3F120000
Pos=269,-10,141,24
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

to various locations & the stealth meter changed to the place but the Bar remains at the original location! in all screens! :cry:
Can someone with knowledge of the menu_1024_768.ini file please offer a possable solution please?
Many thanks.

Fixed!!! Thanks to Reece for input on where to possibly look. I changed this group:

[G3F I138]
Name=Group msg top bar
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F120000
ParentID=0x3F0C0000;Original ParentID=0x3F00000
Pos=284,-10,404,22;Original Pos=284,130,404,22
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

Basically, the Parent ID needs to be changed along with the Pos. I referred to G3F I148 which is directly (in the GUI) underneath.

Now the length of these items could be extended as the message go all the way to right hand side almost.

Update: To lengthen the background items, you need to change G3F I153's Pos= and one other item which I cannot find yet...

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

i liked this one....:cry:

[matttm]

I had the issue that JonZ posted. This is when I integrate into my NYGM V2.6B install. Solved most of it. At least all slides out of sight nicely. Just need to correct the background areas to be 100%. One of these is sorted the other is being difficult...

3. Look for the following lines & change the highlighted values:

[jollyroger131]

I'm taking a wild shot here on the chance that there's anyone still looking at this thread. FLB's post #2 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=201572&postcount=2) has a screen shot of the hydrophone station with an awesome hi res dial. I've searched all over the internet and my SH3 install for the hydrophone dial and how to change it, and haven't found a thing.

Does anyone know 1.) where I can get a texture/mod for my hydrophone dial or even 2.) where this dial texture is in the SH3 folder so I can try modding it myself?

Thanks in advance.

[Sailor Steve]

Everyone will look at this thread now, because you just bumped it back to the top.

Good question. I use this mod, and I'm pretty sure the hydrophone is not part of it. But where to find it? Sale mentions the Bordeinstrument mod from Oakgroove, but I'm also pretty sure that that mod is incorporated into GWX, along with a few others. My hydrophone dial looks real good, and I don't recall using any special modes for the hydrophone.

[Magic1111]

Does anyone know 1.) where I can get a texture/mod for my hydrophone dial or even 2.) where this dial texture is in the SH3 folder so I can try modding it myself?

Thanks in advance.

Hello !

The Texture from the Hydrophone it´s not a Texture of it´s own, but it´s the Texture called cadrane_radio_7.tga (7 for Sub Type VII for example; 9 for Type IX...).

You find the Texture either in the Texture Folder (data\Textures\TNormal\tex) or included in the file called "Nss_Uboat7_CR.dat" in the data\Interior Folder. Open the file with S3D and search for the file !

And a Tip: Download you this MOD: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158294 It´s a MUST HAVE MOD !

Hope that helps !

Best regards,
Magic

[jollyroger131]

Thanks guys! After a bit of searching I found Oakgroove's Bord Instrumente mod, and after a bit more searching I found a mirror for it that actually worked (thanks to Avon Lady's faq page with mod links).

I've been going through a phase of upgrading my dials, and did some of my own modifications to the menu_1024_768.ini file. Making the hydrophone prettier is the frosting on that cake.

I find this mod Great!

If I do adjust my glasses I have the great depth of alignerent ding right in the middle
, and if I'm going to be charged with the mouse on the monitor,
opens independently of the compass!

I think a interesting ad on for the non-play with the 3D glasses.
And these are the most.
Good work!:shucks:

[qwertyqwerty]

Subj. Should work on non-modified game or with mods that don't touch this mod's files.
Since there's no auto-install, I've added simple autohotkey script to automatically insert numeration. At least there won't be errors in numbers in case someone needs to set it up manually.

Someone pls repost to a more permanent file hosting:

Having it around would save me several hours and I think I'm not alone -- and in a couple of weeks the file will be gone.
