[REL] Improved Status Indicators mod

[DarkShip]

Improved Status Indicators mod v1.2 **** Updated (05/18/07) ****
------------------------------------------------------------------



**Last update (05/18/07): Added a new ISI mod version for Ducimus's Flavored to Taste v2.1 -> v2.5 mod and Trigger Maru v1.x mod.


** ISI mod v1.2: Actually, the graphic files are identical as in v1. Readme updated and useless files (.tga) removed.


5 versions of the ISI mod compatible with:

- SH4 v1.2
- SH4 1.2-Beery's RFB 1.2x (also compatible with jimimadrid's green lamp mod)
- SH4 1.2-jimimadrid's shiny hud 1.2
- SH4 1.2-jimimadrid's red hud 1.2
- SH4 1.2-Ducimus's Flavored to Taste 2.x or Trigger Maru 1.x



** B_version: Same light green color as the green lamp mod buttons:

Same green as the green lamp mod (right)

I did this one on request.
However, the indicators look a bit flat; I had to remove the shadow and glow effects of the first version to match up with the tint.
The indicators are small -> not enough space for a suitable gradient effect without darkening or fading excessively the main color.

Equally, the very small CO2 indicator may appear slightly darker although the green color used is identical.





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

v1:

I found that SH4 levels indicators were not easily readable, so I've added some color.


At a glance, there isn't much difference between these two indicators in stock SH4:

Fuel level on (left) ; Compressed air level on (right)

Here, the battery level is displayed with the Improved Status Indicator Mod:

Also, the 4 buttons will turn yellow if you hover the mouse over them.

Actually this is a very simple mod! I hope you'll find it useful.


This mod is compatible with SH4 v1.10.

As a lot of you are already using different HUD mods, I have made my mod compatible with the following:
- Beery's Real Fleet Boat mod vxx -> v1.11
- jimimadrid shinyborder or red HUD


All versions JSGME-friendly.

I always used DarkShip's_ISI_Mod for Berry's Real Fleet Boat (also compatible with the Green Lamp mod):

Because i also use the greenlamp mod, now the greenlamp mod has been updated for patch 1.2 can this mod also be updated please.

[flyingdane]

Thanks.

[Redwine]

Wonderful ! many thanks for compatibility job !

[CyberOps]

I gues you guys misunderstood im asking if it can be updated not that i updated it lol sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Redwine]

mmh... sorry, is it compatible with the updated Green Lamop mod for V1.2 or with the previous version V1.1 ?

[CyberOps]

i just hope it will be updated

[supposedtobeworking]

if this does not work with 1.2 can the modder please update this accordingly? thanks.

I just spent about four hours game time, running around in circles outside of a japanese port waiting for my batteries to recharge...finally i realized that i was on the fuel tab not the battery tab--thats why i would really like to have this mod.

I wish we could have a pop up guage like it was in SH3 to look at. This does make it easier to notice what you are on. Maybe make one with different colors for each?

Fuel, Blue.
Air, Yellow.
CO2, Red.
Battery, Green.

THANKS

[DarkShip]

Sorry for the delay, guys. I have been AFK for a few days.

I have first updated my chronometers to v1.2 yesterday (that's time consumming because of the different versions) and uploaded the packs today.

I will take care of the status indicators mod this evening. It should be ready for tomorrow.

Cheers,

DS

Thanks darkship

Nice job

Any possibility to tune up the green color to be the same like in "green lamp mod"?
It would by great for people (most I think) that use this mods together.

[DarkShip]

Updated to v1.2, check above.

@tOmaz: B_version for Green Lamp mod done.

@Jungman: Yes, these gauges look really cheap compared to SH3.
Actually, I haven't succeeded yet in changing colors of the 4 red sliders. I tweaked the menu_1024_768.ini file with different color hex values with no result so far...
I'll see if I can get a little help on this soon.


------------
These updates should have been released 48h ago as mentionned previously, but I lost a few hours because of a broken fan and had to take apart the whole thing to reach the power supply and replace the part (Yeah! What a day...)

Cheers.
