GWX Sliding Stations Panel

[Reece]

Hi, I have finally gotten around to doing this:
View with Panel slid away:

View with Pane out:

Picture of shortscut bar:

The mod is JSGME ready, no configuring needed, I have a different Leer.tga file as when text messages comes in white it is hard to read with the existing Leer, I have included some other small mods such as Hiding NavMap Tools & Getting rid of Screen Titles, there are readme's supplied if you wish to reverse engineer these.

Nice job with the sidebar.

On the lower UI, I once did somethin similar once except the txt window was static, and then the station icons and dial's were on seperate sliders. In the end i gave it up, just wasn't my cup of tea after awhile. But the UI sliding out of the way, REALLY helps at night when on the bridge. You can see MUCH better with the UI out of the way.

Im sure alot of people will really enjoy this mod and find it helps with the immersion factor. Particuarlly those who are used to using keyboard shotcut keys and not the mouse as much

Well done Reece !

Will this work with Integrated orders and Upgrade tools&dials V0.2?
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with that mod, if you mean the dials that slide from the right of the screen probably not, If I'm not mistaken they replace the stations dials. No effect on the engineers dials that slide on the left. Post an image.

you should merge this with FABC slide out (included with GWX)

[Reece]

The FABC is the left hand slide & it is not effected.

I dont have to look at the files to be sure the answer is no. Any mod which alters the functionality of the UI deals with the 1024_768.ini file. That makes them inheirantly incompatiable with one another.

Hi & sorry, I found a bug with the transparency & have fixed, what I did was to change an existing partial transparent background to fully transparent but this causes problems in other areas, so I had to create a separate background just for this mod, so it cannot interfere with other areas.

Dare I say ... sorry again Venatore!!

[Hartmann]

could be changed the FABC slide out speed or delay ??

As soon i put the cursor in the zone it slides out, and sometimes is a bit anoying because is near of ships book.

Hartmann,
I think all the slideouts have to go at the same speed. You can slow it down or speed it up, but I don't think you can delay it.
Lightening61,
I use it with intigrated orders and it works fine. I haven't tried it with the other mod, but I don't see why it wouldn't

[Jimbuna]

Nice one Reece

Just installed it, tried it and I love it. Well done! Thanks.

[Reece]

Thanks for the feedback! As Irish said you can't make a delay, but you can change the slide speed by editing the menu_1024_768.ini:
[Settings]
SlidingSpeed=1200;pixels per second
If you want it faster change SlidingSpeed to equal 2000 or what ever you want!
Cheers.

PS. If you do change it using JSGME, disable the SSP mod first then edit the menu_1024_768.ini in the SSP mod not the games version.

I am wondering if I could do this with the FLB Simfeeling Mod, a partial transparent background so as to not screw up the other stuff in the mod:hmm:
