SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - [REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=2151

If you all didn't know or figure it out I changed how the ship's journal behaves when you import in an existing ship's journal (in-game). Before it would discard the old journal and use the new one. Now it appends the imported journal into the existing one (and does the appending by date and time). You can import more than one ship's journal and they all will be appended to your existing one. The only catch is the newly imported ship's journal title becomes the title of your existing one. Now this is true for in-game but not for the ship's journal editor app. I'm going to change it to reflect what the game does but was wondering if there were any requests for features/changes/additions to the ship's editor app? I know kylania wants to be able to export a text version of the ship's journal which I will add. Anything else? I'd like to release this updated app with v3.0.0 of the mod.

What about a ships log book look just a suggestion

The work you have done to bring this game up to standed with all the pain

Hi,

Is it possible to implement an automatic torpedo data report (Schussunterlagen) to it? :D

Greets,

Hello,

In the last ZIP file, we don't found
- 'NewUIs_TDC_2_9_0_AllDials_TDC' - enables all dials for TDC NOTE: ensure TDCMode = TDCMinimalDials in options file
- 'NewUIs_TDC_2_9_0_MinimalDials_TDC' - enables minimal dials for TDC NOTE: ensure TDCMode = TDCMinimalDials in options file
- 'NewUIs_TDC_2_9_0_SpreadAngleOnly_TDC' - enables only the spread angle dial for the TDC NOTE: ensure TDCMode = TDCMinimalDials in options file
- 'NewUIs_TDC_2_9_0_NoDials_TDC' - no TDC dials NOTE: ensure TDCMode = NOTDCDials in options file

Yes, I belive that (I play with the old version 2_5_0) but in this old version, we found this 4 files in the MODS directory and now I don't found them.

v2.8.0 - fixed bug in ship's journal application that caused an exception anytime the root node of the tree was checked
- TDC mode is now set by the value specified in the option file. There are no more add-on TDC mode mods.
- the TDC dials that can be shown on the nav map are completely independent of the TDC mode. The nav map will display ALL TDC dials and will also display a SH3 style torpedo box where you can select the tube and FaT/LuT mode.
- The FaT/LuT buttons have been moved to the torpedo box in the scopes
- fixed bug of ship's journal not responding to entries and messagebox not responding to entries after importing a ship's journal
- changed the operation of the ship's journal next and previous day arrows. Just clicking the arrows results in change of +- 1 day. Pressing and holding shift while clicking the arrows results in change of +- 1 month. Pressing and holding shift + control and clicking the arrows results in change of +- 1 year.
- opening a previous ship's journal into the existing ship's journal in game causes it to be appended to the current ship's journal

I think, you don't need them anymore.

Yes.... you can enter all that you listed into the ships journal.

Infact you can enter anything you like. :yep:

e.g. my hydrophone operator was as useless as ever, so i sent him to clean the toilet with his toothbrush... that'll teach him. :O:

I think the only restiction is 250 character per entry.

P.s. Dont worry about the " how do i change the name " part. I already know..... just reused a screenshot from a past question.

Hello TheDarkWraith.

I'm sorry, if i use the SH5EnhancedStyle the Visibility-button appears, but not if i switch to SH3Style. There's no button.
I copy back the whole Menu-folder from my backuped SH5-Files and reenable your mods and with SH3Style no button.
Please can you fix this?

Thanks in advance

Echolot.

EDIT:

Yes, I tied the feature to SH5Enhanced only. I'll issue a bugfix for this here very soon. Testing the change now.

EDIT2:

Here is the bugfix for that problem:
