Omnimeter

Guys! I wanted to know how you could disable that Omnimeter thing in the optical Targeting Correction SH4 mod?

It's an integral part of the mod. Why correct the world view to measure accurately if you don't have a tool to help you do the measurements?

It's not removable.

Also, keep in mind that the omnimeter is entirely historically accurate. Your TDC in the game is nerfed and you lack the ability to do many things the real TDC operators were able to do.

The game stadimeter, for instance always enters range and bearing together. The real TDC had separate inputs for range and bearing. The real TDC could have separate and discrete range input by the TDC operator for range from radar, periscope/TBT or sonar. In the game TDC we only get separate range input from the sonar, only combined from the periscope or TBT and not at all from radar.

The omnimeter fixes that. Now you can manually enter range from any input just as the TDC operator did in the war. Why in the world would be in favor of making SH4 into an arcade game when reality is available.

I'd make the opposite request. I'd request that CapnScurvy make the omnimeter available as a separate mod for people of all game configuartions to use. It's a slam dunk great addition to SH4 that the game developers should have incorporated from day 1.

But as far as OTC goes, I agree with CapnScurvy. You can use as he envisioned it or fix it yourself the way you want for your own personal use. If you want to see the consequences of modders bending their vision for things demanded by users, just look at what happened to Ducimus. He basically destroyed himself and lost the vision of TMO just to get people to shut up. Then he quit modding entirely and that ended TMO's development.

It's not fair to ask modders to violate their vision and lose authorship of their own mod. The water's warm. You can learn to mod and release your own better mods.
