I was not happy with the maneuvering board of previous Charts Addon versions and after Tycho's KzS Notepad I decided to make another version. Bearings, times and ranges can now be written to the notepad, which gives some more room to work with. The maneuvering board looks like this now.

You can find the TGA from here:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/wewlu658odmye/sublynx

In the folder there are also three colored filters. The filters that are in CAWS 1.61 are too dark, and these might work better.

BTW, adding the maneuvering board will require menu work, as will adding Tycho's KzS Notepad. I've only put the TGA to the folder - it doesn't do anything by itself.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

hi, this thing is great!

i made an alternative version of optional TMT wich suport and correct the errors, and let you play over gwx3 + magui ws 3.4.

i get better recono charts (incluiding l/h), add speedtable, some little stuf, retire old compass. torpedo clasical tables.

but i have 3 problems.
1) wish to get a bigger new compass, how i can get it 25 or 40% bigger? i dont know if it can work propiety with simple scaling.
2) i have 2 errors in late loading mision screen with out any trouble in the game, it gets 2 index. i dont found that index in menu file. What should i do to fix it.
3) dr3 sliderule have and issue, marker-dial dont move. Its not a big deal, i was plaing any way good but could be interesant to fit it too.

i loaded a version in other thead, but i was fixing more things so if someone can help me i can upload today the more complete version.

Hi, Aquelarrefox
The pointer: to be rotated, you must switch the TDC to Salvo mode.

thanks, i will try to be sure its working. in caws folder there should be a note saying it. This weel is great!

Then there are only 2 problem to solve.
Tycho, you know about modding stuff. To get a bigger compass (with the new b/W compass). I should scalate raster for ini file or i shoud rezise the tga, get the size in ini and change the center of rotation pos (i dont know how asignate it yet).

If you resize a graphic element, then you must write the right size in the menu_.ini item for this graphic, and the proper position.
Pos=582,746,460,460
The first two digits are position, the second two are resolution.
In your case, may need this to be done not only for the graphic element item, but for some menu groups above that.You need to track ItemID and ParentID for that.

would be very interesant to add a map or several incluiding the light houses . Very useful for real navigation (with or with out celestial navigation).

anybody know if theres a map incluiding the gwx3 lighthouses?

Look here: Real Navigation - maps with lighthouses
Or my method. Make one graphics file with, let it be a yellow dot in the center.
Name the file Lighthouse.tga. Place it in terrain\location folder, there have a file Lighthouse.dat.
Now the lighthouses will be visible on map, according to zoom parameter "HarborZoom=" in "data\Menu\cfg\Maps.cfg" and "ShowOnMap=true" in "terrain\Locations.cfg".

thanks, i will check the mod in this tread first and see if it directly solve the problem in the map. i asume for commets should be for gwx 2, in the worst case is an not updated.
also name some other olds mod. if it donsent work propietly in the map, i will make a chart or 2.

i will see your method this weekend, thanks.

hi, light house worked by tga. the problem is that in gwx ports modification, incluided the minor lighthouses into ports, so should be modifiqued their tga.
it could be done, but i dont know how to open the 3d model to see all those minor light houses to incluide the symbol in tga.

anyway thanks for advises.

Well I'm working in a version off caws + JFO2. I have the same error without issue on loading. When a new version of casw should be realised, I well correct it from scratch.

I can make lighthouse by easy war with invade but I cannot get transparency. How I get transparency when export to the. In file it have transparency but it get white after export.

Any one know witch is the name of the that shows the upgrade, what it sites when clicking ? Icon.

Here is the edited menu_1024_768 entries for adding Tycho's KzS Notepad to CAWS 1.61

Will work for both 1360 and 1366.

Search for [G31 I89] and add this in after.



If you want to use the maneuvering-board.tga then replace [G31 I82] with the following. ( The only change is Pos=0,-17,829,656 )

sécurité sécurité sécurité.

Welcome aboard!
 

Sorry Deviruchi070, I didn't even try to make it user friendly as most players would still need to edit the files by hand anyways to make it compatible with their other mods.

By now I've forgotten most of the modding skills I had, so I can't really help here 😣

My suggestion is you try newer mods and when you are accustomed to editing SH3's menu files yourself, then come back to this mod.
