Recently got back into SH5, updated all my mods and started a new Career.
This UI is absolutely fantastic, however, I do have a couple issues. Range finding using the periscope (Aligning the image), always results in a distance of 20000. I'm also struggling with the Speed. Often the speed will give me silly numbers like 70 knots instead of 7 (stopped the boat, timed 1 minute, hit the icon and wait for calculation). I have followed the tutorials for using these options, but I feel like I must be doing something wrong? Aside from the issues I'm having, is there an easy/automatic mode for these calculations that is reliable. There are sometimes I am feeling lazy and don't feel like doing it all myself or have limited time and want to get through he battle ASAP so I can save the game safely. I've tried leaving the TDC in off mode, and relying on the little green triangle like one does in the base game, but it will always miss. |
while travelling back to home via airports I worked on the Attack Disc again. I redid how the attack disc is used. You now use the mousewheel for everything on the attack disc. You press either shift, ctrl, alt, shift + ctrl, or nothing to control which disc is rotated by the mousewheel. This is a MUCH better approach to moving the discs. I also added a tooltip to the attack disc that explains how to rotate the discs.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=4746 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=4745 I also revised the tooltips on the RAOBF and the draggable compass on the nav map: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=4748 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=4747 With these changes/improvements it should make using these items much easier and intuitive :up: Will be available in next version. Change log so far: v6.7.2 - changed how the attack disc is used. Now all discs are rotated using the mousewheel. If the front side is visible and mousewheel is rotated and: - no key pressed: rotates Compass rose - shift pressed: rotates Target disc - ctrl pressed: rotates bearing and lead angle - alt pressed: rotates attack course pointer - shift + ctrl pressed: rotates relative bearing if backside is visible and mousewheel is rotated and: - shift pressed: rotates Speed and distance - ctrl pressed: rotates time - alt pressed: rotates degrees - added tooltips to the attack disc that informs the user how to rotate the discs - revised tooltip on the nav map draggable compass I'll also be revising the ship's journal viewer app. One of the changes will be the ability to show/hide the 'secret' entries in the journal. When you hide these secret entries then the journal will be just like you see in-game. I should have the app complete for the GUI for editing the options file also in next version. I see this app as a must have due to the amount of errors I've seen posted about incorrectly editing the options file. |
Great updates TDW!
Can you add something to the ship journal app to make "like save as text" or something? I would like to be able to copy the text from my journal and put it in a notepad or something. |

It was also pointed out to me via PM that I need to add more to the tooltip on the attack disc: how to switch sides |

- a View entry in the menu. Under this view entry is Hidden entries. Clicking on Hidden entries will toggle it's checkstate. If checked then the hidden entries in the journal will be shown. Default state is not checked. - Under File I added a Save as txt... entry. When clicked it will save the journal as a txt file (you get to specify name and path). It will save the journal as a txt file by the following: - Uboat hull number followed by space followed by captain's name followed by 2 tabs then the date and time - entries for that day (HH:MM entry text) - when it's the next day then 4 new lines will be printed and the cycle starts all over again - hidden entries will only be saved to txt file if Hidden entries is checked under View |
