@TheDarkWraith

The dails.dds shows the dails a little big bigger. does your mod scale the dails? is there a chance to make dails like original size shown in dails.dds?

they seem to work well, however my game crashed for the first time while 15 minutes into the game (hard lockup, needed ctrl-alt-del to get out of the game). I sank enemy sub and clicked on captain's log to see what I sank... not sure if new dials have something to do with it. I'll play again if it will happen again...

that's the first report of crash. I can't see how new dials would effect this but keep me posted please. I haven't noticed any problems yet (with the mod) as I use it also.

which folder did you get the dials from in the mod? I haven't noticed this problem. I use the German metric Dials.dds though.

I tried to repeat mouseclicks and screen layout what I did when I crashed, and can't repeat the crash..so apparently crash was unrelated to dials.

again, they work well - BIG THANKS for them, they make life much easier. I also installed command keys 1.03, finally getting some functionality in the game when I have compass and rudder...

Just one question about this amazing mod, any idea why I don`t get "Depth under keel" information when using this with CCIP keymod (it even makes "ping" but no info on depth)?
All others seems to work just this one "ctrl+D" doesn`t.
Thx for help.

Edit: It worked with TheDarkWraith first compass only mod.

guys I messed up with the folder structure in the zip file. I see it's been hard for new people that aren't familiar with JSGME to use because of my error. The folder in my zip file 'for_MODS_folder' should have another folder under it - the name of the mod AND then under that the folder \data. I'll correct my uploaded zip files to reflect this change. I'll also update their readme text files to reflect this change.

The last thing I want to hear from you is an apology sailor!! :haha: Please keep up the outstanding work. I love the new 3 dials set up!!

well I can admit when I'm wrong and I errored there :-? But the problem has been fixed. New zip file uploaded and post #1 changed :up:

ok got an idea here. I can add buttons to the UI to take care of necessary items. What necessary items would you all deem as necessary? These would be like quick keys.
For instance I could add a depth under keel button. What other ones should I add?

I had this problem before; could hear the ping but no info in the notepad. I'm using command keys as well; I think the game is just buggy and sometimes certain functionalities are lost randomly. For instance, my command keys work during current patrol, but suddenly except the "view to heading", the keypress does nothing. It worked before. Go figure...

I don't think it's related to dials at all, it's the game itself. I lose functionality on keyboard commands here and there, sometimes keys work, sometimes not. Same with the notepad output, sometimes I get the written output, sometimes not, deppends on the game's "mood", haha

excellent idea. beside the "depth under keel", I'd love to see the following:

return to course
go to command room
- that would avoid lengthy clearing the bridge before dive by climbing the damn ladder; or "go to attack perriscope", would work as well; anything would be great to get out of the bridge with a single keystroke or mouseclick

One that takes us to an actual TDC would rock!! :D

Depth under keel would be great. Rig for silent running would be nice... that way you don't have to find an officer that will tell you he can't comply! hehehe Maybe return to course. I'm sure others have better ideas than I. These just popped to mind first.

It's really sad to see the awesome animation job they did with the attack periscope, and then look at it when it pops up :cry:. I know you guys will get to those big fish soon enough, so I won't complain! Your doing some really beneficial work TheDarkWraith... you guys are rescuing this game from the trash heap!!
