Two minor issues with the Ubermod that I'm having as a n00b Keleun --started a career 9/39 (Wilhelmshaven) at dusk, and noticed that we have many new planets in our solar system. That is, the magnification of stars are many times greater than they ought to be -- is there any simple way I can poke around inside a file to change the parameters?

This is a new one to me. A screenshot would be extremely useful. If you don't know how to take/post screenshots, please send me a PM!

Other than that, I'm getting some truly Turner-esque sunsets.:up:

Following your video tutorial accompanied by the associated community pdfs it's clear that an older(?), simpler, wizwheel is being demonstrated, whereas in more recent releases of your GUI has been replaced with a deluxe/more realistic(?) version which doesn't correllate to your video wizwheel. I recall using the former version, and was actually making headway with it, now I'm struggling with the deluxe version pretty badly for some reason.

The "wizwheel" (a.k.a. Attack Disc) has hardly changed at all since it was added to OLC GUI v1.1.0. I wonder if perhaps you mean the Range/AOB Finder?

Is there any way of obtaining an earlier release of your GUI, and replacing the new with the old, at least as far as the wizwheel goes?

Nontheless, thanks again for your hard work -bravo! :D

Post #1 updated.

If I am using OLCE (part 1 of 2) from Ubermod 1.2 but using OLC GUI 1.2.3:

1) Should I install the OLC 1.2.3 "Dark" files
Entirely up to you. It'll work with or without. However, the "light" GUI (which is what you get if you don't install the "dark" files) will probably be difficult to use on those dark OLCE2 nights.

2) Can I use the same UBoat files for SH3 Commander that were provided with Ubermod 1.2 or must I install the UBoat files for SH3 Commander that were provided with OLC GUI 1.2.3?
The U-boat files included in the Ubermod are identical to those included in OLC GUI, so it doesn't matter which ones you use.

3) Which Version of Phoenix3000's English to German Names should I use: The ones for 1.2.3 and original GWX or the new one for GWX 2.1 and Ubermod 1.2?
If you're using OLC GUI 1.2.3 then you need to use the German Names Mod for 1.2.3.

Actually, when I bought my rig I bought a projector and screen, and surround speaker kit, the whole shebang. But the projector and the speakers were both broken some time ago, and since then I've played on a 15 inch CRT with headphones. But I digress.

It's not a complicated situation, I broke one thing to fix another, I was just a bit perplexed by your long-winded post about how pointless the excercise was in your opinion. Doesn't seem very constructive to me.

A few problems:

- I have the flat sun fix enabled and the sun halo now works in deck view, external view and observation periscope view, but the sun still shows flat in attack periscope view. Not really a major problem as players seldom need to be targeting the sun :lol:

I know, and it really annoys me, but this is a stock problem I've had since day 1. I'm convinced it can be fixed because I once managed to get the sunhalo working in the attack scope, but then at some point I re-broke it and I couldn't work out what I'd changed in-between! :roll:
Anyway, I'm wondering whether (A) you always had this problem but only just noticed it, or (B) you didn't used to have it. If (B), your setup might give me some clues on how to fix it. If you wouldn't mind helping me out... would you disable all your JSGME mods and do a quick training mission to see whether you still have the problem in unmodified GWX 2.1?

- In the radio/sonar room view, two of the lights only "light up" from certain angles. I think the problem may be similar to the sun halo problem.
I don't think that has anything to do with my mod, nothing I've changed should affect the interior lighting. Did you install the open hatch mod? I think that changes it, but I'm not sure.

If I knew a way to fix the pancake effect without breaking zooms, I'd do it. What bothered me about your post was, it's like you were saying that nobody else is going to like it at all... and I hope that's not true. Remember what I told you before, grasshopper: if you love your mod, it was worth making it; if one other person loves your mod, it was worth releasing it. :know:

From a gameplay/functional point of view, for me personally, the only thing I miss (just a little bit) is the 1.5X zoom on the obs scope... the new attack scope zoom suits me fine, even if it's not a RL zoom level.
