Disabled GPS/Waypoint tool on navmap

dertien · 01-16-07, 05:51 PM

Hello there,

For those that are navigating manually, and don't want to be tempted to click the waypoint tool if they're completely lost, heres the Disabled GPS/Waypoint tool.

Have fun

Gwx compatible. Changed maptool entries for the waypoint tool in the Menu_1023.768 ini and made the maptools waypoint icon transparent

Download here

This mod needs to be used together with the invisible uboat icon on the navmap for succesful 'manual' navigation.

Thank you

Worth trying, even though with manual navigation I might not come back from next patrol...

Until now, I always resisted to the temptation...

How would you navigate manually? Is there a sextant mod or something?

Advise you to search forum (several threads on the matter) and watch on You Tube "Dantenoc's Hardcore Navigation in SH3"

That's a possibility. not that you wouldn't find your way back , but If you accidentally 'bump' into land using TC you might have some repairs on your hands.

Use the depthsounder accoringly, if you have no visibility to do a sextant reading using the Ctrl-Click method. (for more on this topic, please search the forums) like Corsair pointed out.
