Help with the Gyro angle setting
 

Hello Makman94,
First I want to say I love your mode. Next to GWX it is my favorite.
I one question. On your notes on the perfect shot, you show how to get the Gyro angle (G). lb-90 or 90 - lb. In your example it comes up with 15, I understand that, and you set the Gyro angle to 15. I get that too. My question is. In pic 11 it shows G going to the left. Do I subtract the angle from 360 and then set it to that. Ex G=15 Gyro angle 345? or do I put it in as 15?
I am a little confused when the Gyro angle is on the left side of the sub course and not the right. I hope I explained this correctly, if you have any questions please ask

Thank you

Shado

The angle of the bow is measured as if you are stood on the ship taking the measurement.

<-------direction of ship-------------------X---(ship)
.................................................. ......AOB looking from the ship is about
.................................................. ......80 deg and you are on it's left side

The angle is from the ship course to your position, about 80 deg in this case.
Then you have the lead angle to add for the solution. Ideally you should be traveling that course so you get a straight shot.
So you will probably have a resolution of about 90 deg with the 10 deg lead angle which is were the ship will be on impact marked with X

hello Shado,

all angles in TDC are counting clockwise which means that ,when you have to enter an angle that is calculated on paper counter-clockwise, must be subtracted from 360.
for example,at the situation of the pic that you posted, first do a fast drawing on paper with all the angles marked . lets say that on paper you have ,at this pic, G=15 and x=20. as the angle G is counted 15 degrees counter-clockwise (left side of our bow) must be entered ingame as 360-15=345 degrees. then go back to paper and get the shooting bearing= x-G=20-15=5 degrees clockwise (right side of our bow) which means that ingame your shooting bearing will be at 5 degrees

one more example , at the situation of pic 12 , lets say that you have on paper G=30 and x=20. as the G=30 is counted counter-clockwise we will enter ingame G=360-30=330 degrees . going back to paper to get the shooting bearing= G-x=30-20=10 degrees counter-clockwise (left side of our bow) which means that ingame the shooting bearing must subtracted from 360 so it will be shooting bearing=360-10=350 degrees

ps: always make your fast drawing of the attack situation , will help you to have a 'vision' of the planed attack :yep:

hi SniperHunter,
placing cursor on right side of map will make these papers slide out

hi Lastman ,

isn't it allready in ?

Hi

I love this gui....but as usual I have a question,

My first patrol on new career starts off with buttons showing flags and ships at the top right hand corner of the obs scope.
I dock and begin next patrol and the buttons are there but the words flags and ships are missing.

Any idea why this happens??

John

hello John ,

it seems that you activate something that is overwritting MaGui's en_menu

open your en_menu and search for the lines:
2224=Flags
2225=Ships
if you don't see these lines there is your problem.if you see these lines then disable any mod that is overwritting MaGui files .
if the problem insist then you must reinstall your whole setup as it seems that something is corrupted in your setup

bye

Thanks for the reply makman.:salute:

Really love this Gui....seriously, a great job and makes my old game into a new one...so I get a free game..cool :yeah::yeah::yeah:


So anyway, I checked my en file and see that those two lines are missing.

I ran the gui and it was fine, the signs were there where they should be...docked (didnt make any changes to the gui by adding mods or changes) started next patrol and the signs are missing. The only thing I did was to adjust my delta renown to upgrade.


Can I just input these two lines to solve this issue?

Thanks

John

Troubleshooting...
 

First and foremost... I think this mod is fantastic and add so much to the game! A big thank you for your work of passion, to makman94 and all the modders behind this jewel :yeah: :woot:

I have been able to download the MaGui Final Version but... I'm experiencing a problem: In game, sveral elements of the GUI are missing.

Just before the "Not so long ago..." message some Message Boxes with warnings inform me that something went wrong (maybe during the activation of the mod in JSGME?)

This my current situation:
And these are the warnings:
I'm totally green, so I haven't the slightest idea of wat to do to solve this issue... :88)

Sounds like something isn't right with the Menu_1024_768.ini file or any of the other files I checked. Quick question did you tell JSGME to overwrite the files it said it may conflict with?

Open hatch always causes a problem in my MaGui so I never use it.
Get rid of all you mods ,run MaGui and add them back one by one to find out which one is clashing, it is a mod clash causing the issue more than likely.

I'm a fool...
 

@desertstriker:
@Jhonfb:

The problem was between the keyboard and the chair! :haha:

In the hurry and excitement to try this mod I didn't take and copied the single folders in the MODS folder... I copied the whole mod distribution folder itself!
Except for the zipped optional folders, which I had to decompress first (so I was forced to take them one by one and do the right thing).

Btw, both GWX Open Hatch and MaGui F want to edit "camera.dat", so I disabled the former.

Guys, thank you sooo much for the help, and once more: this new GUI is sooo cool, nice to look at, and a pleasure to be used!!! :huh: :up:
The authors have done an outstanding job!!! :yeah:

Ok, time to dive and start the hunt! :arrgh!:

Saw u made a widescreen version for ccom. Can you pls do a 4:3 version for ccom? Would be rlly nice :)

Tutorials...
 

Well, seems I need a tutorial for unterstand how to read and use the wheel-like tools shipped with this mod.
I'd like to do manual targetting, and theese wheels look useful (and gorgeous), but I don't know how to use them. :dead:

Someone here can point me a link or a thread to clear my mind about it?
Thank you very much!

All the tutorials you are looking for are included with hsGUI v3.3, available here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1648

Look in the documentation folder for a rich trove of support documents. These can be all found and downloaded with other mods, but this is the one source I know for all of them in one download.

And, yes, I find that the tools here make manual targeting much easier.
