Deleting "Lock" button

PL_Marco · 08-17-08, 08:47 AM

Hi anyone here.

I hase small problem. I (and my friend PL_CMDR Blue R) trying start multiplayer campaingin in SH3... We almost done mission, upgrades in basic.cfg, and trying change one thing in game...

Delete speed calculation by notepad (next to periscope) and force players to check ship position on map, wait for about 1 min, check new position of target, calculate distance on map and calculate speed.

I know how disactive "L" button on keybord, but I don't know how delete lock button next to fire in periscope...

Can you help me?

Are you looking for realism? Because OLC GUI/Special are very good for realistic targeting and calculating. I don't know how to remove the 'lock' button though but I'm sure there are experienced modders here that may help you, or direct you to someone who can.

I also hate that big unreleastic Lock button. If let me reskin, I will change it small and put it in a little corner. But I don't think disable or remove lock function will add realism, for in real life the caption have officers help them do other things, so he eyes can don't leave the periscope all the time in attack.

I also suggest you try OLC GUI which intergated U-jagd Tools for realism. And try disable map update. In my opinon disable map update add realism but also reduce some realism. Just as I said above, I need take more time to draw in map, these works should be done by officers in real. Time sometimes is critical. If we can display periscope bearing in map that will be helpful and save time, but in my research it seems can't show periscope bearing in other place.

If you really want to disable Lock button, only need change one line in menu_1024_768.ini to move it out of screen.

I play at 100% realism.. So I can't disable auto map update, because it is disable.
And I know that crew help[ captain, but only when ship was on surface. On periscope depth only captain using periscope to attack.

THX, for this info about this file. I shearch, where is that button and drop of...

What I mean is the caption say target bearing, range, AOB and the officer draw it in map and set in TDC. I don't think the caption in conning tower draw map by himself, although he can set the TDC himself.

I agree. The captain keeps his hands on the periscope handles all the time, and keeps it centered on the target. The movement in the game isn't fine enough to let you do this, so the 'Lock' represents that. I think it is very realistic for that reason.
