Remove lock indicator (WIP)

PurpleCity · 01-12-14, 12:15 AM

I want to remove the lock indicator from my periscope.

When I center my periscope on a target, i get text on screen in the periscope lens that says "OK" clearly indicating to me that there is a ship in my targets. Similar to the little triangle in the binoculars which I have removed. Not only is this annoying and immersion breaking, It's also cheating. I can spin the periscope around at night until I see the "OK" text, then press the lock key - and I know there must be a ship at that bearing, even if I don't actually see anything.

Can someone point me in the right direction? i searched the data/Menu/Pages/Page attack periscope.ini but found nothing.

That's odd, I'm running NewUIs. Is there an option in the menu configuration script that I missed?

I have ShowLockBreakLock set to false. Maybe something is wrong with my install.

I'll try a re-install.

So...are you creating a mod that fixes this? That is what (WIP) means (Work In Progress).

could be a computer glitch, a false positive is what we call it. Try changing to true and save the options file. Then change back to false. See what happens. Is an options file save window popping up?

Have your intialized the optionsfileviewer editor to proper folder locations of menu.txt and SH5 install folder. Change versions of NewUI for TDC recently and not use the options file migrator properly?
