I like to have my screen as empty as possible but finally decided to install the mod, due to the incontrovertible features it now exposes. No dials oc.
The corner bars are keeping discreet, but the officer bar is a pain in my eye when I don't plan to use it. Would there be, or is there yet, a way to hide it when not needed ?

A Toggle View button for Officer Icons bar. Nice feature request.:up:

I've been playing for 6 hours now using the latest version and i love it...thnx for all the effort you've put in...you rock!!!
I was wondering; would it be possible to re-maximize the message box when running on a certain time compression value. I like the fact that I can remove the message box when playing at tc x 1 but I often run on tc x 512 to speed things up and I often forget to maximize the message box. So I keep missing important radio messages. Maybe have the message box maximize when reaching tc x 256/512. Just like the clock pops up when reaching tc x 2036...
Hope it's possible...

I wonder if invisible hotspots could be used? Then the ui elements like the orders bar could be invisible in their normal state and appear when the user moves his mouse into the area of the hotspot.

Great ideas you all. I can implement most of them. I'll start working on them now.

I especially like the toggle officer icons bar. Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier :up:

ah yes, the quick click features on the left hand side. How could one forget those? :doh: Seeing that there is a teleport order bar that can be made visible by key press and soon to be icon click I don't see adding this slide out.

Chit... I don't even get a chance to try out one version before finding out that you've already posted a new one.... I'm going to alternate between new versions now.... :rotfl2:

OK, I'm setting up 1.8 version now to my likings and do intend giving it a try.... don't post anything new until I've done so... :haha:

He wasn't wrong!

It's a job keeping up lately :up:

See above in yellow.

Sorry for being in-patient but what do you think TDW? Would something like this be possible?

Anything is possible when you can script!

let's define the logic for this:

at x TC setting if messagebox is not visible:
make visible
expand

now what should the x be?

These screenshots are from MaGui 3.1 for SH3.

The two drag able tools marked on this image would be really helpful:

Basically the slideout tools from these would be helpful as well. There are other versions of these as well. Hitman has some nice ones in his SH3 mod, and I've seen examples with English instructions on them before, but can't find them now heh

Here's the AoB wheel:

I totally forget what this one is for, but it's helpful too!

Here's a current comparison of the available bearing tools:

Gisement is the highest rez and easiest to see, but only 1000m (which due to the limit of 2x zoom isn't bad). Guf's is too small really to use and without enough detail. The GWX one is nice, but can't be seen in it's entirety and is really fuzzy/light and hard to read. Not really needed, just thought it would round out the ultimate UI mod. :O:

Also, if you figure out how to get map contact time stamps and a single-button-from-bridge crash drive solution, people will have your babies! :rotfl2:

single button crash dive from bridge works BEAUTIFULLY!! You teleport to Radar and then after the time expires the crash dive command is given :rock: I've included an optional time part of it in the options file so you can delay from when you teleport to when the crash dive command is given :yeah:

Great, now we just need to tie it into using this and all will be perfect!

Well, speaking for me personally; I do the most of my long distance travels mostly @ TC x 512 (or higher). So I think that would be a good value. Also allows for quick patrolling @ TC x 256 over short distances without the message box on screen for better visibility...
So 512 to start with I guess and we'll see from there :)
