Mod Request For GWX Periscope/UZO

Hello,

Can some make this periscope/UZO for GWX for both day/night operations. They are from the Sim Feeling Mod by FLBSale. I've attached two picture so you get an idea of what I would like to have, so I can use them in the GWX game.

Please help your my only hope !

That ones me use for SH3+GWX

Ok, well Boris explain it, while i was typing how to change the tga´s :) (.o0 shame on you Boris j/k ;))

Greetings

Mate, if you already have the mod from flbsale, just manually replace the periscope and UZO tga's. That way you can be sure no compatibility issues will crop up.

maybe Venatore wants to merge the default GWX periscope and UZO with the up-right target info panel from the tga's he's posted.

Could somebody tell me where can I d/l these nice tga's? I use the 6 slideout anzeigen mod but never came across Sale's peri UZO textures...

Are these available for download? If so where? Is it only necessary to replace the two tga's for this to work, or do you have to change other files?

Lot of thanks Gabriel
I hope you don't mind if I share the link to tga's with irish
http://hosted.filefront.com/GabrielSH3/

this is my new scope:
http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/7689/scope5mr.jpg

shame is this the up-right panel is not very suitable for manual targeting... not a big deal for me 'cos I'm never able to determine the range so I have to rely on my WO

and two small suggestions
- I reduced some text loaded from en_menu.txt to not cover the labels already on the main texture

en_menu.txt:
;orig 2001=SHIP:
2001=S
;orig 2002=RANGE:
2002=R
;orig 2003=ANGLE ON BOW:
2003=A
;orig 2004=SPEED:
2004=S

or even better would be to delete the german labels from the tga and use the original text from from en_menu (or de_menu) of course it would require some slight color and position changes in menu1024.ini

- I've also changed the color of the tick and cross from orange to less visible%2

Geralt Thanks a lot.

I just dropped the two tga file into the JSGME , but when playing the game there is small letters on the bottom right side ???? I don't want the whole sim feeling mod just those great looking periscope/UZO :cry:

Gerlat,
can you make your tga's have the rim of the periscope and bino of the UZO like the the ones that I uploaded ?

@geralt,

i don´t mind, thats why i offer the tga´s.

Ok,
my final new attack scope. I removed the original labels from the tga and I use these that comes from en_menu.txt to have them the same font as 'aft/fore tubes, gyroangle' (yes it's german on the pic although I use other texts english... it's just for immersion I like some german in the scope view)
To achive this you also need to edit the menu.ini, to tweak the buttons ship, range, angle on bow, speed
eg.the speed button (defalt black - orange when mouse is over)

Code:

[G26 I105]

Name=Speed

Type=1032;Button

ItemID=0x26040044

ParentID=0x26040000

;Pos=33,-184,130,16

Pos=55,-184,130,16 ;slight position change

Color=0xFFFFFF00

Materials=4

Display=0;No stretch

Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/bkgr.tga

Mat 1=data/menu/gui/layout/bkgr.tga

Mat 2=data/menu/gui/layout/bkgr.tga

Mat 3=data/menu/gui/layout/bkgr.tga

MatFlags=0x1

TexFmt=0x9

Font=5

Text=2004

TextFlags=0x4

;StatesColors=0xFF0000FF, 0x00FF00FF, 0x0000FFFF, 0xDD55CCFF

StatesColors=0xFF0000FF, 0xB4B4B4FE, 0xFF0000BB, 0xFF0000FF ; some color changes edit for your own taste

so now the screen:

I left the obs scope texture as it was so I could do some manual targeting from there and it's another thing to make the obs different from attack (along with the TDC slideout)

well, the reason the original labels (ship, range...) are still is clear as I wrote above.
merged stock GWX scope with the panel:

the same with cleared labels:
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2...eare4op.th.jpg

and don't forget I'm not kind of artist I just do this for my personal needs (dark CRT as you can see all my tga's are a bit darker it's because of I can't stand shinny backround when playing at night) and pleasure

I didn't mean your tga's are causing the little letters, It was the sim feeling tga's, sorry for the confusion :doh:

How good do they look wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:o

actually I don't know what kind of little letters are you talking about ... so no confusion here;)
I tried to descibe the reason and how to get rid of the orignal labels 'ship, range, AOB, speed' (on my pics in german and ziel (target) instead of ship). As you can see these labels are still there on the obs scope pic in their original position and color. The example I gave in the code shoes what to edit to make them white (light grey) and move them to fit the new position.

I recommend to use the 'cleared label' version and to play a bit with the menu.ini file so you can have the lables in english and the the same font as aft/fore tubes...

I thank you for making my request come true. :up:
