I tried using JSGME but still nothing. Could someone please help me figure this out?? Does it only work with a baleo class submarine?? Could someone maybe elaborate on the manual install a little more?? I know this is simple stuff but if someone wouldn't mind reaching out I would greatly appreciate it
This would require finding the same graphic files in the TMO mod and making a small mod to install on top of TMO to replace the TMO HUD graphics, and quite possibly their names, sizes & positions too. This would require editing the menu_1024_768.ini file.

I wish it could be as simple as just swapping the graphics but there is more to it.

I like Oakgrooves HUD Gauges too and use them on my heavily modded install but I don't use TMO. The HUD gauges used in TMO needed editing of the menu_1024_768.ini file that would need to be reverse engineered and parts changed back - undone by this (proposed) little mod.

This isn't an impossible task, it just needs some detective work and some familiarity of the files and what they do.

Happy Hunting!
