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.

Information:

WYGM/Vanjast for Widescreen for NYGM.

Charts add on- Sublynx

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