[REL] Fifi mods for NewUIs
 

Hi all,

Here is a little mod for NewUIs (any version) wich adds new binoculars, UZO, attack periscope and observation periscope look to NewUIs.

Thanks to TheDarkWraith for permission.
Thanks to Reaper7 for permission to use his dds files.
Thanks to Testpilot for his binoculars dds file.

Best is to activate this mod after NewUIs, but before Manos scope for your resolution.
This mod is not compatible emtgufs scopes.

Mediafire has finished maintenance :cool:

Thank you very much for the mod ... I really like.: D

Great mods , thanks .

Nice work Fifi. Just a couple of remarks:

- the bino mask is a bit pixelated around the lens border. What about making it a bit smoother?

- I like your idea of getting the background out of focus, and to make left and right sides black. Ideally, we should see only scope's tube. Yet, it looks like periscop frame was truncated, especially the two handles. Any way to get them back? :)

Yes, i noticed original dds file is pixelated too...that's why it's still there...:hmmm:
I'll see what can be done to smooth it :up:

This one is going to be hard. Because of picture size i adapted around the stock manos scopes lens (didn't want to mess it, first, and furthermore it's a nice one).
The 2 left and right black background are giving trouble to see the handles...and i wanted to keep them black for the purpose you said :yep:
I'm not expert enough to decrease their vertical size, so they leave space for the handles.
+ the periscope mask should be sized like an inverted T, instead of squared one...
Have to think about, but it might be over my capacities :-?

Try this one: :03:

I can try myself, if you want :salute:

Sure! No prob :up:

Okay :up:

Where did you get the textures from?

IIRC it was Reaper's Ui-boat..

Yes, HiDef Realistic Interface V2.1...

Just smoothed the binocular...and i tried yours... the same result :haha:
Good one.
I'll release new version with new smoothed binos, when you'll be done with the scopes...hope you'll success!
(i have tuned down the background picture light, because when at night it's too much bright. And no night filter to enable for that. Same for attack scope, idea is to find good enough light compromise)

Open up the .ini file for it (whatever page it is). Do a search for MatFlags=0x1. Change all of them to MatFlags=0x9.

I suppose that UI-boat uses the same textures :hmmm:

:up:

Going to bed now. Tomorrow I will study reaper7's scope background textures to see if they can be used with other scope/UI mods. :up:

:up:

Just for personal knowledge :D what is this matflags stuff?
It's present in all the page ini sections.

Really liking these masks. Thanks for making them. Good work :up:
