Disable hull damage indicator
 

How to disable the display on damage scrren, that shows a number/percentage of hull damage or is this a hard coded thing?

i have never seen a parm or an indicator or a field that corresponds to the in-game hull damage.
if i was to make a SWAG, it would be to say that the hull damage is a calculated field within each mission/patrol. its calculation is hard-coded and its storage is in one of the in-mission binary files stored in the save folder.
but that it only a SWAG.

Look in file menu_1024_768.inineed this?

Yes. What do you change there to make the hull damage indicator disappear or at least not show the damage?

:hmmm:

Wanna say, I think a semi colon ( ; ) would do it... but, as for the proper placement, as to where to place it, for it to kick in as a.... circuit breaker... not sure...

But... that's a SWAG, so take it with a heaping, cargo ships load of salt...

Original:
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0


any line is all working:
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 100 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 2 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 -0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 200

When mazzi posts, people should listen... :arrgh!:

Seriously though, 25 posts, and each one a gem. Good to see you here again mazzi! I must thank you again for all your help with FotRSU! You are a true gentleman. :salute:

zAmboni's Tutorial: Deconstructing the menu ini

It gets to be a slightly difficult concept to explain... lol - Position is in relation to the screen, and Zone is in relation to the Position... I think... but what mazzi is saying it to just have it display out-of-site, out-of-mind...

In other words... if ya can't beat 'em join 'em... or in this case... if ya can't get rid of it... change the rules/game... by moving the positioning of that marker/reader of subs health, so it isn't visible at all... problem then solved. It's the same as if ya disabled it... by using that ; injection.

Is the uptake I get from that. :yep: :shucks:

Ok but I’d like the opportunity to hear an explanation of the menu lines. If the explanation gets too technical then I’ll admit defeat and move on.

That's what the zAmboni link is for though - it is complex, to me... lol :yeah:

yeah, i missed that.
i was at the MD's office...using my GD telephone.
:oops:

So... as I always suspected, that 4, was built on the bone's aka carcass, of SH3... :hmmm:

going the el cheapo route.... instead of investing proper time, & development of doing the uboat side of things.

*Just... shakes My head*

Figures... can't say, that I'm shocked.

Oh yeah, definitely built on top of SH3, but the Pos and Zone actually give the modder more flexibility, though the coordinate system is not the exactly same as SH3. Each part in the menu ini builds and displays on top of the previous one...
