Gratz. I've been trying to place a chronometer in the nav map and the hydro room screens. Seems that some pages don't allow the reading of data from the dials.cfg file. Atm I'm hard at work to make a similar inteface for SH4. I've already managed to put all the dials into the periscope screen and they work as intended, except for one big "minor" detail. I can't move the autoupdate button from the TDC map. It seems that in SH4, the game checks a list of it's hardcoded menu id's, to figure out what to place on German and on US subs. That means that I can't, under no circumstance, place any new button in any screen with a commands.cgf command attached, or move any "glass" object to show if the TDC is on or off. My only option seems to put a button in the orders bar and assign a keyboard command. The same goes for the open/close tubes command. I think I'll resort to buttons in the orders bar for those too (probably with versions for each german sub, since they have different number of tubes). Graphic switches can be linked to the "Open tube X" dials, to show their status, but clicking them won't do anything.
