Pascal did a new version of the CA dials.
He has replaced the word "Voltmeter" with "Ampere"
(Pascal, you should get rid off the letter "s" ;) )

Anyone here who is familar with electricity and could tell what was correct.
I remember i had a dial in one of my cars displaying the battery power.
It was displayed in "Volt", so it was a "Voltmeter" i guess.
Of course you cant compare to a sub...

Avon Lady, thank you.

I have made the changes of removing the "s" in the Ampere meter. I can sent it to you if you want to update the mod (with Pascals permission of course)?

And it's right to have a Amp meter!

Thank you, it"s ready with the help of Pablo

Would the modders be willing to let us use these lovely dials in RUb? I'd love to have these gauges in RUb. The only thing that stopped me from asking before was that I thought the mod required changes to be made in the menu_1024_768.txt file, but I just noticed that's not the case.

Good idea, furthermore with the advent of Sergbuto's reflection fix for the Type II's, Type IX's, and conning towers etc... It would seem some of the NSS_Uboat_xxx .DAT files will need to be re-packaged to include .tga files that have been found there and altered by texture modders.

Going without the new water reflections is really not an option anymore.

I actually wrote that before I realised that there is no menu_1024_768 in these mods.

lol I just realized that too... I was thinking too far ahead about the NSS_Uboat_xx files and the tga's packed in there that Pascal has modded.

My work is an open work and can of course be used in yours own mods

@Beery... Can you point me to the mod or thread in this reference?... forum search is not very helpful... curiousity...

Hello Beery,

Sure, I'm the same as Pascal... my work is open. I would love to see this mod included in RuB. :)

It's only partially finished, and the info is only available on the SH3 Mod Team forum. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by reposting it here. This is Heretic's mod with Timetraveller's adjustment:

in menu_1024_768.ini

change:

[G3F I237]
Name=&Weather
Type=1032;Button
ItemID=0x3F250006
ParentID=0x3F0A0000
Pos=162,-1,26,26
Materials=4
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/MainOrders.tga
Crop 0=0.527344,0,1,1
Mat 1=data/menu/gui/layout/MainOrders.tga
Crop 1=0.527344,0,1,1
Mat 2=data/menu/gui/layout/MainOrders.tga
Crop 2=0.527344,0,1,1
Mat 3=data/menu/gui/layout/MainOrders.tga
Crop 3=0.527344,0,1,1
MatFlags=0x1
TexFmt=0x9
Font=1
TextFlags=0x0
StatesColors=0xB0B0B0FF, 0xFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF
ToolTipText=2851
ToolTipBox=0x3F030007, 0x0

This switches over the weather report to the WO so that you can only get weather reports when surfaced. The button doesn't show up properly, but it does work.

Great Beery!
Haven't seen that mod before. Only read about it as a wish for mod.

Hello Pascal and rulle34,

I updated the download and screenshot of the mod to v1.1 on here to include the latest changes you guys made to the CE Gauges.

Cheers :)

Terrapin,

If you happen to read this you are welcome to delete the old version and replace it with this one on your site if you like.

Thanks Beery.... I'll try this out after my next patrol is finished and I can mod it in at base... and a thank-you to Heretic and TimeTraveller too...

Getting underwater weather reports from the NavSat broadcast was gettin a bit old...

Just downloaded the latest version. I've been using Pascal's Dials1.tga since the first release. Brilliant work.

Curiously though, how come the latest version has a cream "smudge" running down the right hand side of the fuel level gauge (it can be seen in the first dials image on the previous page of this thread)? It doesn't look right. Is it deliberate? The second dials image on page one is much better.

It sounds pedantic, but it's what has been stopping me from using the latest version :(

New version with fuel level gauge as the first version:

Aaaahh brilliant! :up:

Bump for Version 1.2. :)
