6 Dials- Simfeeling Mod! - Page 7

03-10-06, 12:44 PM

I finally finished a long patrol and installed the mod last night. At first I had a leftover version of the original dials, but on the LEFT side! After going back over it I finally figured it out-I had not installed the very last piece. Doing that cured it.

My opinion: let's see, great big dials that make it easy to get precise depth and compass settings, nothing on the screen at all except when I want to look at it, so no more 'Num Lock/Del' to take screenshots. How could it get any better?

Is it an absolute essential mod to play the game? No. Is it a 'must-have'? No. Is it so cool I'll never play without it again?

YOU DANG BETCHA IT IS!!!

I just wanted to write my appreciation for this mod too.

I love it and wouldn't play sh3 without it again. It's such a better user interface than the default one.

Hi, I have checked & rechecked but can't seem to get things going properly, I get all the large dials ok but the 3 old dials are still there on the left side

and there is a bar that appears on every screen just above the scrolling status bar (orders etc), also the map has a blank spot at the bottom where the dials, officer icons etc used to be!

Could someone help please?

Thanks.

For those who have that Problem with the Old visible console with high Res Mod.

I have made this mod with my normal 1024x768 solution, so i cannot tell you how it works on high Res Mod.
Maybe it is not compatible with the HighRes Mod.....

Try this:
Because i don`t know that Mod and so i just can try it on this way...

Find that Block:

[G3F I34]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
;Pos=290,131,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-141

and change the Pos line and VertSlide line into this:

;Pos=290,-200,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-500

Try it out, maybe it can help.....

Feedback please.

Try it !!!

Well that got rid of the 3 dials!

but there is still a bar directly above the status display (the part that shows the crews reports/orders). I do fail to see why altering the pos line would do anything as it is preceded by a semicolan! I may have to take out the hires mod & test!
Thanks.

Reece · 04-21-06, 08:00 AM

Ok I put the Block back to:

[G3F I34]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
;Pos=290,131,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-141

Then removed the hi-res mod & the dials are gone so the above mod does works with Hi-Res!

However I still have that Horizontal bar (about 1 line) above the 'Scrollfield for the Messages', there on all screens?

Any ideas on this problem?
Thanks.

Did you install the transparent console mod?

Reece · 04-21-06, 08:29 AM

No, in his readme it states:
"This Mod is only for those, who are using the TransparenteConsole Mod + Slideoutconsole, or for those who would like to use it"
I was not too sure what to make of this, I thought you didn't need it ( ....or for those who would like to use it)

Where can I get the mod please?
The thing is, the slideout section is already transparent!?
Rather confoosed I am!

May be having a clash with a previous mod!

Boris · 04-21-06, 08:40 AM

When I downloaded this mod a few months back, the tranparent console mod was already included. The zip file has two folders in it, one calledSlideoutAnzeigen and the other TranparenteKonsole... so you should already have it.

Reece · 04-21-06, 08:49 AM

Oh YeH ..... There it is!

My glasses, wheres my glasses!! :rotfl:
Will give a try with this installed!

Tanks agin!

Reece · 04-21-06, 09:09 AM

Thanks, all goes, pity the size of the dials are so big!

This all started out wanting Jonz large Rec Manual & really needed the status bar slidable.
Is there a mod to slide the bar but keep the old 3 dials on the bottom Right instead of the Huge ones?
Reece.

Hi, this is frustrating, regardless of Hi-Res mod the problem of the bar came back after enabling the stealth meter, Turning back off the black bar is still there!

It's definitely the position of the stealth meter, although I changed the position in the following:

[G3F I139]
Name=Stealthmeter
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F380000
ParentID=0x3F0C0000; Original ParentID=0x3F120000
Pos=269,-10,141,24
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

to various locations & the stealth meter changed to the place but the Bar remains at the original location! in all screens!

Can someone with knowledge of the menu_1024_768.ini file please offer a possable solution please?
Many thanks.
