Team,
This will be my first upload. If anyone can point me to the correct forum link on how to upload something I would be grateful. Then, I can upload this. Any tips on proper protocol is always appreciated.
Draft:
WYGM-LPP -Oct 2020
Wide your grandmothers-- Leoz Personal Preferences.
The purpose of this upload is to share graphics changes I did to WYGM/Vanjast which is a wide-screen GUI for the NYGM mod.
I have made changes to the attack scope and nightscope/observation scope tga files and their two matching mask files. No other changes have been made to WYGM.
Any other work belongs to the respective authors of WYGM (Vanjast/Big Walleye), Hitman GUI, Charts add on- Sublynx. All the use and publication limits for those author's packages apply.
Package contents. 4 tga files, this readme text file and a folder with various WYGM screenshots.
Background. These are only my personal preferences. I didn't like the graphics for the periscopes so I changed them.
-Got rid of the people in the background on the periscopes.
-Added a few charts from Hitman GUI and Charts add on by Sublynx.
-Changed the mask files so certain items were properly illuminated at night.
The Hitman style of type VII and type IX attack and observation/night scopes has always been part of my preferred method. Including the AOB chart which helps remind me what a 5, 10 and 15 degree AOB visually look like at distance so I can make accurate attack plotting on the map.
This kind of method is not for everyone.
Creating Mods and similar creative efforts for this game take many hours of work. I would like to thank those authors. One cannot thank them enough for producing wonderful content for this game.

Not part of this LPP but recommended for WYGM is this map package which is easier on my eyes.
