hiding the interface for more realism

punkrockike · 08-14-06, 07:13 PM

does anyone know if its possible to hide the side bar interface, and possibly the officer pictures. so youd have to actually walk around the sub clicking on your officers to get themt o tell you specific things. i know its a funny question but i thought itd add alot of fun having to do alot of things manually.

ps. i dont mean simply pressing numpad del. cuase that hides everything and you at least need those little squares that pop up when you click on an officer

Wow.

No, not that I know. It would increase realism, though.

ok i just figured out how to get rid of the side bar.

make sure you back up any altered files

to get rid of side bar...
1. go to c:\program files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu
2. open menu_1024-768.ini (back this up)
3. at the bottom of screen change "slidingSpeed=200" to read "slidingspeed=0"
this will make it so the side bar doesnt move at all.
4. lastly scroll down to block "g3f i21" (helps just to use the find funtion to find it fast) when you find it just edit the following. make Pos=1, 761, 56, 474 and now make HorizSlide=-56

do both of those and you should have no more side bar. im just testing this now. and so far it seems fun. cause you cant just warp to places you gotta click around the uboat. maybe next ill deactivate the f1-f12 keys so that i am really forced to walk around my uboat. still testing all this but so far thats how im doing it. now to figure out how to get ride of the officers portraits so i cant shortcut them either. and have i have to walk up to them to get the info i need. only problem i can see here is that if one of them is dead or not there i cant get into his station without click the blank portrait (the one im trying to hide) but still ill see if i can figure out how to hide em.

One solution is to use the '6-Dials Simfeeling' mod. FB Sale U-999 has created a mod that removes everything from the screen. The dials are all very large and are all slide-outs. The officer pictures and the bottom bar are also slide-outs.

You still have to use the keyboard to back out of the periscope views, though.

In a word, REECE, look at the stuff he's done on this ! Check out is Sliding Panels stuff by clicking on him, if you know what I mean.
