SMALLER VINTAGE NAVIGATION TOOLS v1.3 READY!

Made by

Captain Cox
and
zAmboni
(for figuring out the "Zone" and "Crop" lines)

This started out as a request for "Smaller Navtools" and
ended up in an exercise to understand the "menu_1024_768"
I think we got a bit further unveiling the mysteries after much thinking
and testing. And special thanks again to zAmboni for figuring the "Zone"
and "Crop" lines.

This release is JSGME ready:

SMALL TOOLS

Now as I said in the beginning this was more an exercise in understanding
the "menu_1024_768" so the placement and size might not be to every body's
liking. If you feel that you would like to resize or move stuff around be
my guest ;) as to how...read this thread!

Now go PLOT that MAP!

Most excellent, Thank you:up:

I just started a new career and played for 40 min or so. I think some of the tools are to small (eraser especially) and a bit weirdly placed. But as I said it was a sort a exercise. I might tweak that in the morn.

They look good, though.:up:

Looks good to start with, too bad I hate FileFront an can't DL from it. The eraser does look a little small, but from the picture it's looks better then the stock size....THANK..................................... .....

Ah, this is great! I'm going to install this asap when I get home. Thanks so much, good job, :up:

I just wanted to make a post saying that I have the majority of the stuff with the Zone= line figured out. It may not be until the weekend when I have enough time to sit down and write a detailed post about what I have found.

Although I seem to have figured out how to interpret the lines, I am still at a loss about the logic behind why the developers have done things the way they did.

Hi man! looking forward to that. I was fiddling with a clock yesterday to try some stuff, but gave up :p to much line of code and I did it to fast...result a elliptic clock with round fascia.

How would one know if a mod they were using uses the menu_1024_768 and would possibly conflict with this one?

If you open any other mod (folder) and look in the

MOD/Data/Menu/menu_1024_768

If it has a "menu_1024_768" then it will conflict
Most if not all the "Clock" mods for example uses the "menu_1024_768"

Then you have to paste the code I posted in the "Readme" manually in the "menu_1024_768" of the mod you want to merge with. You also have to put the

"NavigationTools.dds"

in the

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu\Gui\Layout

If you want to use my graphics.

Also if you use JSGME to install all your mods it will warn you if it's going to overwrite a file.

That's why I created my own folder within the JSGME Mods folder called "Meridians Mods". Whenever JSGME tells me it's going to overwrite a file I try to merge the mods together and then put them in my own folder, I then always install my merged mods last. That way I know when I am overwriting a file it's intentional. Saved me a lot of grief too.
