Okay.. so I'm looking at my map view with some TC going and all of a sudden an enemy aircraft pops into view... back to 1x TC and I'm still at the map view.

I hit F6 to order my men to the flak guns and then I said.. hey.. I don't trust this code that they're actually going to fire the guns so... I pressed the teleport button and this is what I got.

Wow.. that was a mistake, so I pushed the escape button on the laptop to try and 'pull out' or 'minimize' like when you leave the periscope or want to leave a gunner position.. and this is what I got.

This all gets pretty exciting. :)

yeah that's called my mistake. Somehow I crossed a file on the all dials TDC version. Fixing. :oops:

v1.4.0 has been suspended from download until I fix this......

One of the guys made a temp-patch until you got your 4 hours sleep for the day. We knew you'd fix it when you got back. :)

as the saying goes: programming is the art of introducing bugs.....

I think you are doing spectacular !!!

oh I made a good blunder on this one....messed up the all dials, no dials, and spread angle only TDC modes.....

Actually I don't know how the menu item for the obs mask got set to nothing in those.....very strange....

I'm sure you know what is missing and what to slap into place to make it work.. but if it's quicker...

NauticalWolf did the fixes and posted them.. if you want to snag his files for a quick fix.

think there is a 5.0mb limit. Click upload picture and you can see how much space you got left.

Taking this to the new page.

yeah I knew what was missing once I saw the posts. I've already fixed them and I'm testing them all now.

Makes me really nervous though when things just start 'disappearing' out of my files for no reason......

there is no 'upload picture' anymore for me.....

v1.4.0 is NICE :DL

Came across one problem with the periscope height though:
The addition of the Twisty_periscope_thingies seems to cause it:

Max periscope height with:

TDW,

Could be a little tied, you've been doing so much amazing work. We all truly appreciate your efforts. :up::up::up::up::up:

that is a stock SH5 problem. When they made the twisty periscope thingies for the scopes they also made them (the scopes) either lower in height or offset in the vertical direction. It's nothing that I caused.

thanks for fixing my errors while I was away :yeah: I've fixed the problems and have tested them and all are fine. Now just adding some final tweaks to them (like making sure the zoom level is visible in obs scope, making the zoom text for attack and obs bigger, etc.)

I've got my laptop packed away and in my vehicle now (at work, day shift people coming in soon)...

I installed the twisty periscope thingy for the first time last night but never got a chance to see what it actually was/did. I spent the entire night battling the periscope thing and the dual monitor educational experience.

What exactly is this twisty periscope thingy? What does it do?

just adds some wire things around the neck of the scopes....graphical additions is all but to me looks really nice :DL

McHub532,

Twisty wire thingy was historically used to reduce periscope wake. Not sure if it actually does that in game or is just decoration.

Cheers

Oh, I see.. you are saying it's up at the top of the periscope.. the above water part when you are at periscope depth?

Ah ok, I'll just use your mod without the twisty periscope thingies then :p2:
