i may just end up uploading them to youtube as a 6 part series.
Please link the things to the Sub Skippers' Bag of Tricks thread. If you have trouble splicing them, I may ask your permission to do so myself with Any Video Converter, which does a seamless job of transcoding and splicing at the same time. Heck, I may just as well just suggest that you try that free program. Why don't you Google "Any Video Converter" and...

will do, right now though.. im working on the "Formal" documentation of the tool. With pictures and things hehe.

Also adding a general purpose speed/distance/time calculator.

my plate is abit full. haven't been playing lately


Oh.. and i changed that nagging top dial. I think it was too confusing for people.

The black arrow pointing at the middle dial was the first to go. And the graphic of a sub was replaced by a merchant. I think an inexperienced person might mistake that sub for himself.

the next version will be a more incremental update. (say 1.3.1).

anyway, as for features... im all ears.

right now you can move it further or closer using the mouse wheel.. but it does nothing special yet.

Default dial is in meters

I count in feet. Last I looked I had two of them.


I do not understand how the numbers and circular lines on the inside of the dial work. How do you use them? Or, what do they represent and how do you apply them?

How to use an AoB wheel.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=150069.

This tutorial inspired the graphics reaper7 made for the dials... which i used as a base for the program (which im now in the process of customing to fit my needs).

Until you learn how to use an AoB wheel.. i can't really help you that much. I pretty much spelled it out in the readme. But i admit pictures are better than words, and im working on that as we speak. Until then.. look in that thread, you'll see pictures and explenations on how to use an AoB wheel that is almost exactly like this one.

though i did i take some liberties when making the software version... like the periscope line, and freely rotating outer wheel. that was done to make using it more efficient. but the concepts are pretty much the same.

Hehehehehehe! The hazards of modding: you don't get to play much. Time to get this thing in a temporary parking position and take a break to keep your interest in the game sharp! Love what you've done and can't wait to check it out in detail.
