Sorry to correct, but the bbservational scope did have a bearing scale visible:
" The periscope is fitted with a bearings scale telescope, which is intended to make the indications of the bearings scale, visible in the main eyepiece."

Done. Will be in v6.4.0.

Should be finishing up v6.4.0 here soon. All my .dlls are written except for the ship's journal :yeah: Everything seems to be working great also with the new .dll files.

Good to know your work with .dll is going well.

But rest a little bit mate. Sleep. We have waited 10 months since release, I could wait 10 more to see this complete new game.

We don´t want anything happens to you, or your brain.

Very easy to do. When you click the 'HUD' button in the torpedo box of the scope you bring up the scope options. In the scope options is a setting for Scope offset. You can either enable or disable it and specify the offset (to the right of center) in pixels. Will be in v6.4.0 :up:

All the scope offsets will be saved with the other scope offsets in a file.

Here is a test version of v6.4.0. This version includes my new .dll files.

If you're going to use this test version I ask you run the Dbgview app located in \data\Applications before starting the game. If you experience any CTDs or strange behavior copy the contents from Dbgview and send to me for review. Dbgview captures Trace and Debug output from applications in case you're wondering. With it running you'll get to see some of the inner workings of the mod and the new .dll files.

What I'm interested in knowing is:
- does the game load faster (from first starting the game)
- does the campaign load faster?
- do single missions load faster?
- any random CTDs?

When I say load faster I mean in comparison to previous version of UIs mod.

v6.4.0 contains the following changes/additions as of now:
- text can now be multi-colored in Automation's tutorial feature
- added naights's TDC dials to the mod as an option (found in \dials\naights)
- removed RAOBF from UZO
- (SH5Enhanced style) added a new user option that specifies whether the heading bar starts in hotkeys to set heading (False) or click to set heading mode (True). Default is hotkeys to set heading mode (False) (HeadingBarStartAdvanced)
- added a custom .dll made by me. This .dll allows sounds to be played that are not registered with Sh.sdl! Sounds are played with this .dll via code (and you can specify volume control for them also)
- converted some python code to .dlls
- added sounds to the radio messages
- added Scope offset to the scope settings box of each scope. This allows you to adjust the offset of the scope viewing hole
- (SH5Enhanced style) the heading/rudder dial's tooltip now shows the current heading
- adjusted \data\Cfg\Contacts.cfg 'precise' and 'imprecise' settings to make sonarman more talkative

This is to be enabled after my current version of the UIs mod or MO via JSGME.

I would add info as I play but currently am not playing :O: Too busy trying to make the mod into a multi-threaded version of the mod. By using parallelism (threading) I can speed up 'slow' portions thus giving the mod, and thus the game, a speed boost. So far attempts haven't been successful (at making multi-threaded). As I cannot 'lock' items from the game itself (would require modifying the C++ code) it makes it very difficult to have synchronization :damn:

So i enable NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
over the top of NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_ByTheDarkWraith ?

new test version plays radio messages also below surface, on pd now :DL

...it seams that the mast hight is messed up, after logging on a target, using the stadimeter, it`s diplayed above 4400 meters for a Royal Sovereign Battleship... very huge :D

it seams, masthight is multiplied by 100 atm....

hear some short parasitic noise creaking in between (not rare, especially while moving), you know if someone switch a powerconsumer and there is nothing to filter that in your sound system.

can you give me a printout of the Dbgview for this? Everytime you lock onto a ship the TDWMastHeights.dll file outputs the shipname and it's mastheight to Dbgview. When you first start the game TDWMastHeights.dll generates a list of all the ships and their mastheights in Dbgview also.

TDW great thet you're working on your UI. I will try it myself. Curently using the previous version 6_3_7 togeather with the R7's enhanced rec. manual included in your mod.

I have a question: in the rec. manual where I confirm the ship's ID and put in range, speed and AOB... I have much less ships and without dimensions (mast h., length..) than in dragable manual where all the ship's dimensions are.

Is this ment to be so or did I do something wrong when installing the mods?

You have much less ship's because that is the game's rec manual which you have to use (currently) to set the mast height data for the stadimeter. SOAN (the one you are referring to as the draggable manual) is my creation and it isn't tied to the game and thus I can do whatever I want with it.
When I have time I'm going to let you be able to use SOAN to send mast height data to the TDC. That way you don't have to interface with the old XO TDC Dialog box anymore. There's still some things to work out on it though.
Reaper7 had made .sil images for his draggable ERM that included ship data on them but I had to remove them in order to get the images shown in his draggable ERM to show the side shot and head on shots. Before you only got one shot of the ship (the side shot).

debuglog cutted just below the savegame entrys...

Very interesting :hmmm: I'll look into why it multiplied that mastheight by 100 :salute:

EDIT:

Looked over the .dll file and the python code and nowhere am I multiplying the mast height by anything. I retrieve the value and set it, that's it.

Did you take a range reading on this vessel? Was it wacky or was it correct (the range reading)? It might just be a problem with the Game's Trace command outputting float data.

Did you happen to notice what the XO TDC Dialog box said the mast height actually was?

Thanks for your answer. It would really be great to put all the values in via one manual - SOAN. Now it's quite a mess in my scope screen and a lot of dragging the items has to be done.
