Never edit the user options file by hand. Use the included OptionsFileEditorViewer found in \data\Applications to edit the options file

A couple of things that annoy the hell out of me .
I have the officers panel hidden unless moused over which is great . However the officer category sub panels should be hidden as well maybe .
Also the hydrophone should automatically go back to normal sweep when I surface the sub maybe .

Very cool - wasnt aware of that programms.

I have the latest zipped version of TDW's O.F.E.V. 1_0_32_0.

When I start the exe it says 'cfg file missing' 'building cfg file' re-run the application.

If the app can't find it's config file it will say this. This is normal and expected behavior. Once it builds a config file and it can find it you won't see this message again.

This new Sizeable= option in the user charts file I added some more to it. Besides being able to use the mousewheel to increase/decrease it's size you can also grab any of the borders or corners and drag them to the size wanted :up:

I verified this is how the stock game handles the diveplanes and have adjusted the mod to reflect this. Will be available starting with v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1

As I posted earlier (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11198 and http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11204) this has been added to v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1



v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?iu7d68q29ap3eu5

Extract. Copy the folder to v7.5.0 test version 16's main folder letting it overwrite all files it needs to :up:

NOTE: you need v7.5.0 test version 16 first! It's available here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11139

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)
- removed old sextant. Added a new sextant to the game. The sextant is used by calling up the Sextant window from the Navigator's order bar. This requires the Stadimeter being used as sextant patch to be enabled in the Generic Patcher. To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled
- fixed bug of after using Sextant none of the order bars would be visible and camera zoom was 'zoomed'
- fixed bug of tutorials always showing corrupt in the main menu
- added a new parameter to the user chart files: Sizeable=. If this value is 1 then the chart is sizeable by using the mousewheel, dragging a corner, or dragging a side. NOTE: the chart's size will NOT be saved and will be restored to original size at game end or exit to main menu

You should be able to change the mast height manually using the mousewheel. If you can't there is a problem somewhere. I verified I was able to change the mast height using the mousewheel (though I noticed a problem with the mast height patch - it overrides whatever you set the mast height to with the mousewheel :shifty: - I'll have to fix that patch)

What command is associated with that key (Z)? Can you post the entry from the commands.cfg file for it?

I'm almost 100% certain there is a user option for the 'problem' with the officer category sub panels you speak of.

I can add a new user option to have the sonarman go back to normal sweep when the sub is surfaced :yep:

I will look in the user options .
Map draggable size is awesome .

There is an option to hide the officers and the officers categories but not the sub catagories afaik . I just looked at the option editor and couldn't see an option for the sub catagories .

No problem, I'll add it :up:

Was lying in bed reading Programming Windows Fifth Edition when something hit me: I should be able to remove the chart limit (currently max 50 charts) AND dynamically load/unload the chart textures to save memory :cool: Funny how my mind works when I go back and revisit old code/ideas. I'll look into this tomorrow :up:

u can resize ? from user option ?

awesome TDW thx

@ TDW

heya TDW i about the sextant is any posibilty too look up ? or zoom out cos i can't see the polaris from sextant need to look up....

"The angle of elevation of the North Star is equal to your latitude"

if u finde you latitude then is very easy to finde your longitude... convert the UTC time.
Convert it to degrees by using the fact that 24h = 360°, 12h = 180°, 6h = 90°, 1h = 15°, 4m = 1° and 1m = 15’. In this example: 10h = 150°, 12m = 3°, 30s = 7.5’ (8’)

Thank you, DarkWraith. I'll try with the static mast height meters and will also try other means to measure the distance.

Your mod is awesome.

Best,

My mast height patch of the Generic Patcher will automatically enter the correct mast height of your locked on contact as per the data contained in the unit's .cfg file. There's really no need to be trying to change the mast height unless the contact is not locked.

Would someone please let me have the download link to the new TDW Option File Editor Viewer V_1_0_32_0

Thank you
