EDIT: I can make the chrono move, but you can't activate it.

Simple Idea to make the Chrono portable TO ALL SCREENS. After all, Kaleuns always have his chrono in hands.

First Download the new Chronometer with Wooden Casing:
http://rapidshare.de/files/16764339/..._v1.1.zip.html



------------------------------- MANUAL INSTALLATION ----------------------------
**************** First Backup Dials.cfg and menu_1024x768.ini. *******************
This method require to manually edit menu_1024x768.ini and Dials.cfg with the notepad.
Install the Data folder in the zip file over the Data folder of your SH3 Directory

Make the Chrono portable TO ALL SCREENS.
________________________________________

First, go to data/menu/cfg

Edit the file Dials.cfg, go to the first lines and increment the Dials numbers by 4 like this example:


[DIALS]
DialsNo=xx+4

example:
DialsNo=56; was 52

Now go to the end of the file and Copy paste these 4 definitions and replace
the xx by the numbers that follow the before number

*if your last dial definition was ie[Dial48] then replace the xx by ie 49,50,51,52


*Save the file after the changes (ctrl+S)


Now, open the menu_1024x768.ini file (../Data/Menu) and go to the last [G3F Ixx] parameter.
Continue the sequence like you did for Dials.cfg by entering these parameters:


Now save the file (ctrl+S)
Test the game, if it work, you win!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU WANT THE CHRONO TO KEEP IT ORIGINAL SKIN

Steps and rules are the same mentionned as above. The menu_1024_768.ini file have to change some coordinations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU WANT THE CHRONO TO SHOW IN A SPECIFIC SCREEN.
__________________________________________________ __


What you have to do if you want to show the chronometer in a specific room/screen is simple.All you have to do is to do exactly what the previous manual installation instruction shows you.

Notice that all the references number are a mix of hexadecimal addressing, ie 0x3F000000. the 3Fxxxxxx or [G3F ixxx] is the reference number of the room/screen interface (ItemID and ParentID). Thus, you only have to replace the 3F by the referenced number of the screen you want, both in the Menu_1024x768.ini and Dials.cfg file.

Here is the list of the screen references ingame:

3F;Page layout
24;Page gui event camera
25;Page recognition manual
28;Page UZO
2B;Page obs periscope
26;Page attack periscope
27;Page binocular (Needles doesn't work ATM)
3B;Page TDC
31;Page navigation map
32;Page attack map
33;Page interior
34;Page exterior
35;Page captain log
36;Page mission order
37;Page radio messages



Therefore, if you want the Stop Watch to show only in binocular,
replace all the 0x3fxxxxxx by 0x27xxxxxx in Dials.cfg and Menu_1024x768.ini files.

KNOWN PROBLEMS/BUGS:

- The Chrono doesn't activate when I click on it.

It not a bug. The click ability is not implemented in this mod. Unfortunately, all buttons features in the
Interface of SH3 are Hardcoded somehow. Only effects and drag/drag buttons are accessible by now. If by any
chances you find or know a solution to that problem, feel free to write me at jonzadd@hotmail.com.
It will be my pleasure to integrade the solution with the mod and you will be fully credited in the release.

- The stop watch is showing, but it doesn't budge when I drag it, and the needles are off.

That could be for many reasons:

1. Make sure your new inputs are sequential and doesn't skip or write over an existing sequence.

Ex: [Dial53] parameter must have [Dial54] as the next sequence. or
[G3F i229] parameter must have [G3F i230] as the next sequence.

Any jumped sequences will results of errors or anomalies when playing SH3.

2. You followed the sequences number by the wrong room/screen number (ex: [G3F ixxx],,[G2F ixxx],,)

3. Many have reported that extra spaces in end of code lines may results anomalies.
Be sure to remove those extra spaces. Just don't remove spacers between parameters sequences.

- The Chrono Disapear when I press Del/. on Keypad

It not a bug. Since the chrono is binded to the Page Layout (0x3F000000), it supposed to disable like everything else on the Interface layout.
No workaround is found at the moment to override this matter.

- The Chrono work, but it behind some kind of mask, like behind the
Binocular mask.

It a stacking problem in the code. Every object you see on screen is
a stack display. The way it work is the objects called in the earlier
sequence (ie [G27 i2]) will be displayed OVER the later sequence
object (ie [G27 i3]). Thus, the mask covering the chrono is over the
stack. There's few workaround, but the simpliest way will be to
place the sequence of the chrono before the mask and renumber all
the section after. however, be aware that procedure can be very
long depending of the room/screen section. I would hardly
recommend to do it to sections such as 0x3f (Page Layout).
