Super nice!

Could it be moved away from the scope so that it doesnt block the view?

that is something I'm trying to find and do in my UI mods. I'm adding his great work to them.

Nice work :up:

EDIT: Just one thing. I may have spotted a typo
Should be 'Length'

:doh: Guess I'm getting dyslexic these days, have them all spelt that way too. Will redo and update soon. Thanks for feedback.

Ok took a look at them, no easy way to fix, will have to restart them from scratch will take about 2 days to finish. If ye want to use current version for now (and just look at that spelling with one eye) and I will post in new version with all fixes.

Can you somehow enable the recognition manual for auto TDC mode? I'm more of casual player these times 'cause I have little time to play but would still like to identify ships, to get draft for obvious purposes.
Great mod though!

nice Thank You ! :DL

Nice :salute:

Nice! :yeah:

O my god! You guys are so quick! Thank you for this one. Why the h... these features are not in the game.
I'd rather give all the money I had to pay for this game to the mods than to ubi!

Nice! :yeah:

Version 1.01 released see first post.

would be perfect if it would ad where to aim from with the stadimeter, i have noticed warships and troopships are generally from the superstructure, destroyers are from the mast, and some freighters are from the smokestacks.. annoying as hell makes the game unplayable for me because i will not use auto targeting auto mapupdate crap

Cool, thanks mang! :D

Since this is just texture tweaks, hopefully that data wont change in upcomming patches.

My advice:
Use my parser right now to fetch the data.
Save it to a text file, and store it away.
When patch comes fetch the data again and store it to another file.
Use a file compare (like winmerge) to see if (and what) changed.


I have a feeling some of these mast values might change when the stadimeter gets looked at.

:yeah:

Thanks for the suggestion gutted. Have just backed them up. Hopefully they do get updated - would be great to have correct values for the stadimeter. :)

Anyone know how to change the name on a posted thread or is it only moderators that can do it?
Wish to change this thread to[REL] Enhanced Recognition manual V1.01
to reflect the latest verion but can't figure it out. Have gone into edit and advanced but cannot change the name.

Dont know if you saw it or not, because the thread got shuffled off the front page pretty quickly... but i had uploaded the final version of the data fetcher (1.3) yesterday.

just a heads up.

How can I turn on the recognition manual, asked on another thread said click on "WO" no idea what that means, thank you. Thanks for the hard work. :yeah:

Thanks Gutted, Missed that alright. Hopefully the Dev's give us a reason to use it now - by fixing them values :03:.

(By clicking on "XO") Means to click on the Picture of the XO in the bottom left of the Periscope screen. When you don't have a target locked - this gives you an option to switch TDC between Manual and Auto.
In auto mode you get the 3 circled numbers, in manual you have to imput figures manually one of which is shiptype.
By clicking on the shipclass name ie 'Merchant' the recon manual pops up.
Hope that works for you. :)
