TDC Mod!

[FLB sale U-999]

Hi!



This is the TDC Mod!


With this Mod u will become all the relevant Instruments for the manual torpedoshooting, into your Attack Peri & UZO! Also u can update your F6 TDC Map, if u want to.


This Mod was made for all those who want to fire their torpedos directly in the A.Peri & UZO! So, if u don`t really need those Instruments, then don`t install this Mod!

There are rare individuall settings possible, which are listed at the end of this file.


This Mod was a very hard part of work (making Textures, making edits without an end and a lot of testing, testing and testing...) to get it to run, so i hope u can enjoy it and it will make your game more better/easier!


So, please don`t irritate about the complexe installation at first look!
(Who take a look at her, will see very fast that she is comfortable and that only those lot menu_1024.768.ini blocks are looking strange to built them in at the first look....but they are easy because no much changings there for you!

:)




I made this Mod because the Original Dials and instruments for Manual Torpshooting are too small and ugly. Also i wanted a long time to be able to shoot them directly in the UZO&Peri!


____________________________________

!!! ATTENTION !!!

1. This Mod is ONLY for those who are using the Slideoutconsole!!! Because the enlarged Instruments are not useable with the Original Console! (Only if u lock them out with the DEL Key on your Num Pad....)

2. Who is not sure if he needs this Mod, or who don`t know what this Mod is for, those should NOT install this Mod!!!

3. The necessary Menu_1024_768.ini- & Dials.cfg Edits MUST be installed 100% correctly, so PLEASE follow the this Installguide concentrated and step by step! Or it could happen that u get Errors/ CTDs or another Problems.

4. When u installed this Mod, then PLEASE check your installation a second time, to make sure that u don`t have left any Letter, Symbol or Texts!

5. For the Navimapmod User (Flaggen.tga for Peri & UZO, where u have the TGA with the Nationalitys) are at the end of this File, the new Edits u must take! So, u just install all this new Blocks and at the End of installation u reset the ,,new last Block" in the responsible Flaggen.tga Block!

_____________________________________


Note:

I know that the installation isn`t easy, but u do it only once! So please follow this guide step by step!
So please read this guide carefully and make the edits concentrated to make no misstakes!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------

Known Problems:

- U have still to go to the F6 TDC Map to set there if u want to shoot
manually or automatically! But u can edit a command for that, to change it with a key if u want. It is comfortable.

For this u open ur commands_en (data/Cfg Folder) and set a key for TDC autoupdate:

[Cmd131]
Name=Toggle_TDC_autoupdate
Ctxt=1

for Example u with SHIFT+T:

[Cmd131]
Name=Toggle_TDC_autoupdate
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x54,s,"T"

- The toggle function for the Glasses (light/dark when toggling TDC update like in TDC Map) will not work in the UZO & Peri! In the TDC Map it works normal.

- I have deactivated (Dials.cfg Edits) the clicking sound for the Bearing and Angle on Bow Instruments, because it will click the whole time if u move the Peri or UZO.

- The numbers in the Torpedosalve (Choosing the tubes) are not working with changing them (I, II, VI aso.), like in the TDC Map, so i just wrote them on the Texture.

- A small part of the Bearing Instrument, will be not overlayed of the
Redlight in the Peri! Because it is in the viewing circle of it.


That`s all. No dramatic things....but i must do compromisses....

INSTALLATION:


The Installation is stepwise! That means that u install whatever u like!

There are 3 steps for Installation:

- >>For the Attack Peri<<
- >>For the UZO<<
- >>For the F6 TDC Map<<


Be sure what u wanna have installed before u beginn with the editing!
For Example: U want only the A. Peri, then install just that. Or u wanna have only the Peri & UZO without changing the F6 Map, then just install that, whatever u like.

So, that is your individual decision! So please cheack the whole Readme to know what u want and to know how much Diails u insert into the Dials.cfg...(for the complete mod u have to make 28 ,,new Dials" into the Dials.cfg)



Ok, now in Pictures:

This mod contains following Addons/Changes:


How u can see u have down right the normal Torpedosettings (Torpspeed, Torppistol, Torpsalve or not, Torpdepth) permanently visible. If u wanna fire a salve, then u set it there and then go to the top of the Notepad up right. Then there will be a slideoutconsole where u can choose the Tubes and spreadangle....

All other manual Torpsettings like Bearing, Angle on Bow and so on, will slideout from left to right. (Or u set them so that they will be permanently visible)

Here are all Instruments in sight....

This will most certainly be a huge help to all of us using manual TDC.
With these new mods, I think you will notice a dramatic increase in friends FLB :up:

[Jochem]

[CCIP]

Best thing to happen to my periscopes, ever :up: :up: :up:

I especially love how it actually make sense to use the Attack scope now instead of the observation one for making attacks.

At this rate, I might even learn how to use my TDC :hmm:

[Redwine]

Many thanks for job and effort FLB ! :up:

It looks wonderful !

Can you help me with the folowing ?

1]

Hi!

This is the TDC Mod!

___________________________________

!!! ATTENTION !!!

1. This Mod is ONLY for those who are using the Slideoutconsole!!!

Sorry...what is this mod ? Do it hide the bottom and lateral task bars ?

where can we download it ?




2]


Because the enlarged Instruments are not useable with the Original Console! (Only if u lock them out with the DEL Key on your Num Pad....)

I cant understand well this red portion, may be because i dont know Slideoutconsole Mod and how it works.......

Do it means ...even with the Slideoutconsle Mod, we need to fix or lock out the task bars ?


3]

The mod dont use the original periscope background texture, but it is not included into the download...... can it be used over any periscope background texture ?


Thanks in advance ! Wonderful Job ! :up:

[CCIP]

I actually use it without the slideout console - I made the gauges stay on all the time by using the trick mentioned towards the end of the readme. As long as you hit "Numpad ." to get rid of the instrument panel, you can see all the gauges just fine when setting up for attack.

Thanks CCIP..... you must to maintain the "Del" numberpadkey pressed ? ............or you press it one time and the task bar goes off, and press another time and it back on ?

In another way..... nedd i to maintain my finger over the "Del" key to use the TDC Instruments ?

Is the Slideoutconsole Mod mentioned the same as the called "6 Dials- Simfeeling Mod" ? Because i cant use it, i need to adapt it to the 400m Depth Gauge mod, need time to do it.

:up:

[gutted]

would be nice if the manul entry on/off button was in the periscope as well.

but other than that.. nice job!

[Boris]

For all those who are too daunted or lazy to change the menu_1024_768.ini, I am posting my edited files...

This one contains all the default changes:

http://rapidshare.de/files/13159812/Siledout_Anzeigen_-_Edited_Files.rar.html

This is the one I use with fixed officer icons and console (as I always like to have my time, and TC on screen):

http://rapidshare.de/files/13158770/menu_1024_768_-_Fixed_Uhrfeld_Offiziere.rar.html

You MUST have the following for this to work:

- Fabc Slideout mod (already included in IuB/not sure about Rub)
- Navimap mod
- 6 Dials simfeeling mod
- TDC mod

For this to work with JSGME I recommend that you bundle these mods together, along with the files I have edited into a single mod folder... and install

I can't guarantee that my files will work with your game and do not be surprised if you get error messages or missing features.
That said, its worth a shot!

* NOTE - to activate your TDC controls on the peri and UZO views you will have to press SHIFT - T

[FullFathomFive]

In order to enable the TDC mod do I need the "Slideout 4 Dials Mod" or the "6 Dials Sim Feeling Mod"??? Thanks! :D

[FLB sale U-999]

Thank`s to you all for compliments!

Hope u can all enjoy it!


Note:

This TDC Mod is an Standalone Mod! The Simfeeling mod is also a mod for himself! But if u want i can make a small Installationguide for only installing the Sideoutconsole (But it is already in the Readme of the Simfeeling Mod)




Any feedbacks of someone if it is working correctly?
What do u mean of precise settings now? Better or somehwere Errors or something wrong?


(There shouldn`t be any Error, but you all know: 10 Testers find more then 1....:))

Thx!


Greetings Sale

[Letum]

MIRROR? :arrgh!:

[NiKuTa]

Is any posibility to set a kay for "manual imput on/off" ????

BTW great mod. Thx :)

[gutted]

* NOTE - to activate your TDC controls on the peri and UZO views you will have to press SHIFT - T

doesn't work for me.. how to enable it?

[edit] nevermind, i reread the instructions. looks like i missed that part.

[supersloth]

wow, this thing is off the hinge :rock: i ve been waiting for something like this for a while. nice work flb.

ps. thnx boris, your compilation was a huge help. i had it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

[FLB sale U-999]

@ Nikuta


Please read the Readme! There is a part where u can set a key for that!

@ Redwine


You can use it with any Texture u want.

I have only make this Mod with my personnal darkened Periscope Texture!

@ dutch

I think it shouldn`t be so difficult to isntall it properly, by following the Guide step by step....

@ Salvadoreno

Easier for install is impossible! How muc heasier should it go?

It is for all users, if ME or not! U just edit your Menu_1024_768.ini and activate the Modded one with the ME. That`s the way i am doing. I do not touche any Original file in the Game! I am only working with the fantastic ME! Would go crazy without him :D

[NiKuTa]

If this is Shift+T this kay dont work for me :(

[gutted]

^ the instructions for enabling that shorcut are in the readme.

i didn't see it the first time either.. but it's there.

[Dutch]

Well I finally got both you mods installed it wasn't near as hard as it originally seemed.

Your slide out mod works great I love it.

I have one problem though with the TDC mod, in periscope mode I can not change the dial setting, ie the dials slide out but when I press Shift T I can not change any of the dial be it depth AOB or anything else. Works fine on the Binoc on deck (name escapes me)

Can you tell me what I have done wrong? Please help me lol.

BTW again great work on the mods they look very nice and to anyone who seems overwhelmed by the maunal instalation its not really all that bad once you start it, just consintrate. :rock:

[Dutch]

Can anyone help me?

[Boris]

You're saying Shift-T works in the UZO, but not in the periscope... that doesn't make any sense!

[Dutch]

right I shift T and it works on on the UZO but when I go to the periscope it doesn't :hmm: :doh: I've probubly messed up something somewhere, man I'm going to hate having to redo all of that :down:

[Dutch]

U-999 can you help me at all? Any suggestions?

[Dutch]

Never mind downloaded the files somone posted earlier and they work fine, problem solved.

Very nice mods indeed 999, keep up the great work! :rock: :up:

[Mast]

I'm in the middle of a patrol and must wait before I can try this out. :x
Must finish patrol....must finish patrol...MUST finish patrooool...

Mast

[Sturm]

@Mast

You can install this in mid patrol. I did and didn't have any problems.

[Mast]

Thanks Sturm! :)

Mast

[reznor]

U 999 very nice work. I installed the attack periscope mod to see and I tested some single missions to see how it works in the deep down there. Actually it didn't fail me. I wonder is it possible to make the slides faster.
Thanks

[Sturm]

@reznor

Find this line from your Menu_1024_768.ini
[Settings]
SlidingSpeed=200;pixels per second
and change it to whatever you want. I'm using 1500.

[Letum]

Please can we have a mirror for this excelent mod

[XXi]

Hey redwine, when you look at your screen you should see NO dials at all, then if you mouse to the sides of the screen the dials should "slide" out and be seen. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Vonotto..... i am refering to the original task bars, the left one with the access to the stations and the bottom task bar with the text and officer icons.......is the same for them ?
They slide out with the mouse ?

[Vonotto]

On mine they slide out with the mouse yes (the slider bar on the left side to access stations).

At 1st when I tried to install this mod I had some problems but then I went back and started again and got it right. (thank the lord for the mod enabler).

Also make sure you have these mods installed for this one to work correctly:

Fabc Slideout mod (already included in IuB/not sure about Rub)
- Navimap mod
- 6 Dials simfeeling mod
- TDC mod


Anyother questions ask...ill be around the house all day today and will check this thread.

[Redwine]

On mine they slide out with the mouse yes (the slider bar on the left side to access stations).

And the botom one, with officer icons, text and intruments ? Is it accesible by a key...by the mouse ? How it works ?

:up:

[Vonotto]

On mine these also slide out with the mous, I do not know if you can "pin" them (to make them stay out.

Thanks for help :up:

[Vonotto]

ALSO for those scared to edit things yourself....DON'T DO IT....I found a much easier way (only for those of you that didn't already know.)

1. Download the TDC mod file wherever you want (I have a folder called sh3 mods).
2. right click on your desktop and create a new file folder.
3. rename file folder "TDCmod".
4. extract/unzipe the TDC mod into this new folder.
5. open your jones mod folder (c:/programs/ubisoft/silenthunter3/mods)
6. drag and drop the "TDCmod" folder from your desktop into the mods folder.
7. close all folders
8. open the JSGM shortcut
9. in the left side find the "TDCmod" file click once on it then click the arrow to add it to the right side/installed mods side.
10. close JSGM and run Sh3

DANGER DANGER DANGER.....Make sure ALL of the other required mods are loaded BEFORE the TDCmod.

This works great and no need to dig around and edit anything in your SH3 folder.

[Letum]

*Still* need a mirror

[XXi]

Perhaps I`m asking quite a stupid question right now, but... where can I find the very Periscope and UZO, seen in the first post ? Seems I haven`t seen them anywhere so far.
