I thought about it initially, but decided that i didn't want the program to be tied to any one sub program so i opted not to.
but...
if you
reallly want a drop down box with common values, i can deliver. I'll make it configurable through a file, so that it can be extended for any game. Most likely i'll make it so that the program internally just has values for SHIV... but if a certain file is found it will pull the torpedo speeds from that instead. That way when we get our paws on SHV.. we can extend it if they add any extra torpedo types or what have you.
but anyway, i actually came here to post the 1.3.3 "final version" i've been hoarding the last week or so, but i guess i'll hold off.
1.3.3 will include the ship length browser for the speed solver. will come with a default config file that has ship lengths for common merchants and jap warships in TMO. Not sure if the lengths are different from stock or not, nor do i care.. because im not uninstalling TMO to check.
You'll have to add any ships that's missing on your own. I may include my ship length "sniffer" program to help with that. but then again, it's specific to SHIV... and my goal was to not have it specific to any game.
so.. uhh, i'll add that one feature then i'll post 1.3.3 "Final". I say final because i'm pretty sure there's nothing else to add. Anything else will be the odd bug fix if someone finds one.
It may be a few days though, I just upgraded to Windows 7 from XP a few days ago, and dont have programming environment back up yet. I did notice that in Win7 the distance chart is not wide enough. For some reason the columns are wider in win7. So im going to have to make the window size wider, and make it sizable this time.
oh and not sure if anyone noticed, but the distance chart's tooltip is bugged. On XP it was working right, but i tried on a vista machine and someitmes it was giving conversion info for the wrong distance (as if you clicked a different one). That fix is also in 1.3.3.
