Depth Gauge

02-17-10, 11:18 AM

We all know that our subs crush depths can be adjusted. Many subs in the download area have been done. Is there a modded gauge that will compliment this showing depths further than 450m?

There is a 600' Balao depth gauge for the control room, but there isn't a way to change the one that's part of the GUI.

Cheers for the reply. Thats a shame.

I think my other posted question is being avioded. Is it alot of work to add a deck gun from a ship?

Again cheers for your time........

I would ask how, but I read the caption.

Any way to mod that into the game for modern subs, etc?

Might be pointless to do so.

a.) player sub stops rendering at.....500 meters if i remember correctly.

b.) Deliberatly going deeper then t 600 feet ( 182 meters), the trim is all out of whack, and beening able to maintain depth seems impossible without full/flank on the telegraph. If anyone found a fix for this id love to know.

Not hard to replicate. I think i was into the data/menu/gui/dials.cfg file. I just don't remember exactly what i did. I think i changed the depth dial type, theres two. Just "depth" and "depth_international" or something like that. That amount of depth in feet is due to a conversion error in the game that i forced by changing the type of depth dial it was - if i remember right.

Also, If i remember correctly, the dials are hardcoded internally on the upper and lower limits of the depth gauge, so it doesnt matter how you define the dials upper and lower limits. All i did, - i think - was force a conversion error by using a SH3/uboat dial type.

The dial itself, i edited in gimp and added the numbers to reflect the scale of the dial.
