Aiming issues

TG626 · 03-02-14, 10:19 PM

Berbster, when posting it seems you always set the color to white. Finer for the web based forums, but when viewed in tapatalk (Android app) they can't be seen as tapatalk always has a white background... You might want to just leave the color alone.

I write my draft posts out on Microsoft Word which defaults to Black as you might expect.

I got told off for using Black and all the posts I see on Subsim are White in colour.

So I copy and paste from Word in White.

Now I am being told off for using a White colour.

I am writing this directly from Subsim's reply post and it is using White.

Any suggestions as to what I should be using?

Actually Subsim doesn't use white, but an off-white that can't be duplicated using the color chart, or at least as far as I've found. Compare the post you just made to the one two posts above. There is a very large difference.

That said, I don't know exactly what to tell you, as I never use my phone for anything other than talking. Black is hard to read with the SmartDark theme, which I use, and white is hard to read with the other forum themes. Sometimes you just can't win.

A good point Steve.

I can see that my posts are a lot brighter.

I shall investigate further.

Depending on the mod soup you use there is a "No 1-2-3 Torpedo Alignment' mod you can use. Not sure if it's included in any OHII 2. ? mods or others, but it works great and is better than seeing those crappy 1-2-3 numbers in the TDC.

Hi TG626
How does this font look on your phone.
Is this acceptable? Darker 25%

This one is normal. Dark on my phone (tablet actually) and off white on my desktop.

Darker 25% is better, but still hard to read on the tablet. 15% is worse on the tablet.

The thing to do (if possible) is to NOT dictate ANY color in your post - that way the system can use the default color for whatever platform is being used.

The colors aren't being shown as BB codes (stuff inside of "[" and "]") so I have no idea what's causing it...

Given the reason it's happening, if you can't sort it out easily, just forget it and carry on.

Hey, thanks for the mod list. I'm not sure i am going to install absolutely everything. I don't really mind stock graphics, especially because I don't want to put more strain on my machine. Maybe there is something to increase performance? I have noticed that on rare occasions my frame rate drops a bit if I have the mini-map out....

Anyway, right now I'm interested in the UI mod. Does it come with any charts (speeds and so on)? Or do I have to install those separately? In any case, it has to wait until the weekend. I work most of the day reviewing software and when I get home I don't have any more patience to move files about. Just a few well placed torpedoes is all I need to finish my day with a smile
