[REQ] Uboat Gradations scales

vanjast · 03-08-09, 08:59 AM

Does anybody know how to get rid of the Scale lines on the UBoat scopes.
I've managed to get rid of the text, but worried that the scales might be in code

Thanks for any help

Hmm, which files are you talking about.
I've modified the scope skin files, and didn't see it there.
I found the text pieces in the menu_1024_768.ini file, but haven't found the scale lines here yet. I've tried editing some marker dds file... no luck yet.

It's bad enough finding the UBoat scope stuff, but I'll have a go.

I think it's in the alpha channel of the periscope.dds

but we have to be sure which one it uses, I modified a german scope but not both I think...

it's just drawing with photoshop really but I'm not too good at it.

I've played with all the available 'periscope.dds' files = no luck.

I'll just carry on looking

The scale is encoded

but if you use the cameras.dat values I told you in the readme file they will go out of the mask. Of course you will also have a smaller field of view than supposed, but since screen resolution is limited it doesn't hurt to be able to see images bigger (Reducing FOV does the same effect as increasing the zoom).
