New UI for SH4?

Optimus23 · 08-25-12, 09:41 AM

Hi there guys,

i was wondering, i just saw newUI from darkwraith for sh5 in sh4 in a video. Where do I find the mod for SH4? I checked the DL section and couldnt find any UI mods, does any more UI mods exist??

Is there a possibility to make changes to the TDC, when Im on the attack map? I started out with sh5 and there is a possibility, I dont know if it is only available with the newUI mod from DarkWraith. Never played the sh5 stock version

Thanks in advance

Sorry for my bad english, im german

I do not know the answer, but some one will come along and answer you.

Any way that is a link to the German forum.

You're talking about SH4-like UI for SH5 (but if I am wrong then tell me, I would be interested in SH4 UI overhaul).
Redesigning SH4 UI would be a lot of hard work (only a little easier now, with SH5 menu editor); Ive never liked that windows like task bar on the bottom, but if you move it, change it or something, you most likely will have to redesign position keeper and all TDC (bacause it would get in the way in some screen resolutions), I think that is why no modder ever tried to do it, except for textures changes.

Welcome to the boat mates

There are mods that change the look of the UI but none that I know of that change the layout or format.

Hey guys,

finally back from work and back on the boat

Thank you very much for your reply!

I searched and searched and sadly didnt found anything.

I think ill have to stick with, changing the look of the UI.

I tried out OTC, it doesnt change the layout but youll get an option to manually put in the Range at the TDC.

If I come across some UI Mods ill tell you guys

Now Im gonna sink some ships yayyyyyy

<---- I like that smiley

here is why, it wasnt needed, simple as that.

with sh5 the UI was very bad and arcade like so a major overhaul was desperately needed and universally agreed it must be done so it was.

with sh3 and sh4 they have decent and some will say very good UI for those games. the TMO and RFB mods make changes to the UI but nothing like a major overhaul of it. the menu options and keyboard keys are tweaked some and things like that as well as a lot of AI work.

if there is something you dont like then bring it up and in disgussing it, solutions or better understandings of why it needs to be like that can be figured out.
