U-jagd tools - pdf version for DIY?

palatum · 05-15-12, 03:12 PM

Hello,

I humbly wonder if anyone have these U-jagd tools in PDF-format (or similar) for a DIY kit?
I am especially looking for these tools:

Angriffsscheibe front
Angriffsscheibe back
3 bearing AOB finder
AOB-tool

The ultimate would be tools with the "authentic look", not the stripped down versions. Allthough I will be grateful for all help

It seems that a lot of the old links are dead, or not moved from filefront to gamefront. I've searched the forums and downloads quite thoroughly

, but of course I may have missed some posts.

I would be very grateful for any help or tips on where to find these tools

OK, I found one - the black and white (plain) 3 bearing AOB tool. And I guess I could make the others from the tga-files.
But if anyone already has done the work and like to share, I'd be happy

This one?

Well, fyi it's not related to the U-jagd tools. Makman just included it in his MaGUI mod, which also contains the RAOB-finder and attackdisk. The link above provides the original instructions on the disk. Other than that, there are none. I never made an "authentic look" either, as I made this thing up myself. It never existed afaik. And I wanted to keep it simple and clear.

Yup. that's the one! I have just printed and assembed it, and it works great. Thank you!

I have MaGUI, but I don't find the 3bearingAOB ingame? It is supposed to be attached to the navigators orders, but in my game it isn't. It could of course be a MOD-related issue. I'll check in to it later

Thanks anyway

Hi palatum,

I also use MaGUI and the 3-bearing AOB tool can be found if you first click on the NA (lower right-hand corner) and then move the mouse cursor all the way to the right of the screen (you should see the brown edge of the tool sticking out from the side), and the tool will slide out from the right.

I don't have the game open right now, but I seem to remember this works only when you're viewing the map; it might work in other views as well, I'm just unable to check it atm.

Hope this helps!

As for the attack disc, you can get the files to print out both sides in this thread:

Kriegsmarine Wiz-Wheel templates released!

If you want some advice on how to make one, let me know. I've made several.

Good job Bill!

You found Hitman's files first, so I don't have to look them up. It's funny that the OP phrased the question the way he did, because the original u-jagd interface by Joegrundman for SH3 was based directly on Hitman's DIY files. So we have someone asking if there's an external file to match an in-game file that was actually based on an external file in the first place!

I love it when that happens!

Puster Bill · 05-17-12, 10:12 AM

As you know SS, I'm a big advocate of Hitman's wheels, and have been from the very beginning. To me, it just doesn't seem right to use an in-game version if you can use a physical one. I've made several versions of it, and I still use the one I made and posted pictures of in that thread.

I actually didn't play SHIII for a couple years or so, then I came back here expecting the SHIII forum to be moribund. Imagine my (pleasant) surprise! Seems like Ubisoft's subsequent efforts have fallen short of expectations.

Sailor Steve · 05-17-12, 10:17 AM

SH5 is severely lacking, but the potential is still there and people are working on it. To my mind SH4 is far better than SH3, but it has been largely ignored by modders and so suffers from lack of coolness, which is the only thing keeping me with SH3.

Puster Bill · 05-17-12, 10:32 AM

Well, I only fairly recently bought a computer that would run SHIII with GWX at a decent frame rate. It's the first new computer I had purchased since 1988.

Hitman · 05-17-12, 02:28 PM

I just remembered about it and updated the old thread with a new link to the latest version of the front side, which is much better IMHO

That is truly a massive credit to the community as a whole, and espescially those who put ideas in to reality.

-->Hitman: Thank you!
-->benitorios: That did the trick! Thank you! I remember I noticed it some time ago, but I couldn't work out what it was for

-->Puster Bill: Will do!

Thanks guys!
