I'm very glad to see that this is underway. Can't wait!

The 3D scene was set to 1680/1050 but the loaded image for the dials bar was set to 1024 width and positioned on the left edge.

My intentions are to implement a mechanism as you described it here:
Hummm if you manage to produce something that rescales the images to whatever size the screen res is using horizontally, then I guess it would be easier to make a wide-res screen interface by repositioning everything closer together in the vertical, so that it still fits inside the visible area (Because the wide res will make the screen proportionally not so tall). You could do it in the vertical, and it would be better because that way no modification at all of the menu.ini would be needed, but then the tools bar and rest of items would not be centered. Or would it be possible to put them in the screen centre besides scaling them? Something like "scale Y to current vertical res, then scale X in 4:3 to resulting new Y, then (current screen width minus resulting rescaled width) / 2 is the number of pixels you need to move right, before starting rendering from bottom left corner" :hmmm:

Certainly a major breakthrough :up:

Very good work Seeadler! Sh3 deserves a very good well resolved WS mod.
Please donīt give up, we can help you making tests and so on.:up::up:

How many people would like a wide-rez interface mod? SH5 might go bust (not proven until release) so we might end up playing SH3 for a long time to come. A wide-rez interface has been requested many times, but the problem is complex. I'd like to tackle this, but only if I see a pattern forming of your wants and needs. The amount of work involved is simply immense and it would take months, be finished sometime during the next winter. The last thing I'd like is to see it downloaded 100 times :haha:. At least this thread would point out the necessity of such a mod. We might find in the end that it's pointless and stop caring about it.

Since I can't start a poll with so many features, please answer the following questions in the same template. Counting them would be easier if you don't make jokes about soup :haha:.


Q1: What Interface do you use in SH3?
A: ACM gui

Q2: What aspect ratio would you like to use (or type the resolution)
A: 1920x1200 or 16:10

Q3: How many screens would you like redone (please keep in mind that text will still be stretched):
A: Main bars and periscope screens should be enough for me...

Q4: Other comments?
A: Don't expect this to be done fast... It might not even be feasable unless you all want to use the same interface mod. It can only be done for a specific aspect ratio. Most probably 16:10 since most monitors now use this resolution. In that case, 16:9 screens would see a 0.9 vertical deformation. (current deformation is 0.75). Plus, many items simply can't be changed (such as the periscope bearing text). Also, such an enterprise would require a rebuild from scratch of the SH interface. This is by far NOT easy.


Hi mate,

Excuse me by my late reply, i was thinking that this was only another thread commenting the limitations of the WS mod that we have for Sh3 now. But after read/look at your work on Sh4 I understood what you means...

I think that even the stock Sh3 GUI is already enough. My monitor is 1360x768, 16:9. Anyhow what is important is a good WS solution for SH3. Give us that one and Sh3 will stay yet more with us! Thanks for your work!:up::up:
