Very interesting. I was playing around with your compass mod last night (tweaking the position to my resolution and preference) when I moved it way too far. I ended up having a Telegraph, Rudder indicator, etc pop up in the top left corner. Of course they did not work, but mousing over them did bring up the "tekegraph" pop-up tooltip. It would be awesome if some of you more talented people could get them working!

I'm guessing there is no reason SH4 Uboats UI can not be used in SH5. :03:

Looking at the SH5 files i see a lot of old files fron SH3 & SH4. :damn:
The date stamp of these files is everytime the 29.01.2010.

Tzz, the devs seems to be lazy boys.

Our mother never tell you to clean your rooms?? :shifty:

Are you sure that is garbage ? :hmmm:

who knows if the game can use old files or commands like "depth under keel report" or make that some things work as in sh3 , for example radars...

I remember with the release of silent hunter IV that some managed to introduce a german submarine, despite some problems , in the game.

this show also that they ran out of time and the game is unfinished, a lot of broken scripts, glitches, poor tweaking of IA..

That's easy after I saw DarkWraith's solution:

Open his mod file Page layout.py
Go down to where he inserted this line:

Code:

if d == Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Rudder or d == Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Heading:

            continue

Delete the first line and just leave continue on the next line, so the whole file becomes like this:

Code:



def InitializeScript():

    # SH4 orders bar

    ShowOrdersTabControl = False

    dry = -10

    if ShowOrdersTabControl:

        dry = 1

    for ctrl in Pagelayout.Controls:

        if ctrl.Name == "OrdersTabControl":

            Pagelayout_Groupfeedback.SnapParent = ctrl

            ctrl.SnapFromAnchor.DependentRelativeY = dry

            ctrl.SnapParent.SnapChildZones()

            break

    

    PositionDials()

    

    # message message

    #Pagelayout_Groupmessages2.SetSnapParent( Pagelayout, MenuItemWrapper.LocationPresets.BottomRight, False, 0, False )

    #Pagelayout_Groupmessages2.SnapFromAnchor.OffsetY = 60

    

    Pagelayout.SnapChildZones()





def PositionDials():

    dials = [ 

            Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle

            , Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Speed

            , Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Rudder

            , Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Heading

            , Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Depth25

            , Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Depth260

        ]

    offset = 0

    i = -1

    for d in dials:

        continue

        i = i + 1

        if i == 0:

            offset = d.Size.Width / 2 + 20 + 450

        # grab it by the bottomcenter:

        d.SetSnapParent( Pagelayout, MenuItemWrapper.LocationPresets.BottomCenter, True, 0, False )

        d.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeX = 0

        d.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeY -= 1#take it off the screen

        d.SnapFromAnchor.OffsetX = offset

        d.SnapFromAnchor.OffsetY = 60

        if i % 2 == 1:

            offset = offset + d.Size.Width





def UnloadScript():

    pass





#def Action():

#    i = 2

This will give you working rudder,telegraph,depth gauge from SH4 stock.

Sorry this is a mod of a quick/dirty mod :doh:

no worries! We're all experimenting currently and trying to figure things out. The more people 'play' with the files and others work the more we learn. Keep experimenting :up:
btw I did release an official 3 dials mod. Check it out, maybe you can spot or help fix an error I've been trying to fix in it.
