[REL] DGUI 1920x1080 for GWX and Stock SH3

Toyotagt86 · 12-07-20, 03:04 AM

I have a suggestion
when the RAOBF is enabled, the Periscope still can be moved by the mouse, that is very convenient for us to measure the range.

Best Regards

I am afraid that is not possible. You can not place a ring in Sh3 UI, every element is a rectangle with or without transparencies. In this case, the middle ring is really a rectangle and it's center is transparent. If I make it so that you can click through it, you would be able control the periscope but you would not be able to rotate the ring.

I tested it.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Regards,

Diego

PS: Now that I think about it, perhaps there is a trick you could use but I would have to test it when I get home. The clickable area is also a rectangle but it extends to the right of the periscope because the binocular is centered. There are elements you don't see that block your mouse ( such as the launched torpedo icons) but you could find an area to the right of the RABOF square where the mouse will be captured to control the periscope.

Yes I found the click area, thank you very much

I have SH3 (Steam) + 4GB Patch with GWX3.0 and SH3 Commander already installed.

Is it possible to install a 1980x1020 mod like DGUI 1920x1080 over top or do I need to start over?

Hello,

Yes, you can install it over your current installation. You have to install the patches for the full screen map and chronometer according to the instructions. You may need to apply the 4Gb patch again using Hsie's patch in order to be able to install Tycho's patches.

I will not be available for the rest of the day but I could help you tomorrow if you need.

Regards,

Diego

Unfortunately, I don't think I understand the process.

Do I need to install the DGUI first? Then the Tycho and Chrono patch?

I tried to patch the HSIE and it failed, then I tried the Tycho and it failed too.

Installing DGUI requires to steps, installing the mod itself and patching sh3.exe. I recommend you patch sh3 first and copy it to the included DGUI directory, then you can move the DGUI directory to your mods folder and intall it using JSGME.

In order to successfully patch sh3 you have to start with a stock sh3.exe. Next, I recommend you apply HSIE patch and run the options selector and unselect everything but the 4Gb patch. This way it will be simpler and you don't have to prepare the supplement that is a more involved process. This is mandatory if you have a steam version or you won't be able to install Tycho's patch.

The second step is to install TychoSh3Patch. To do this, you have to copy the TychoSh3Patch.map file that comes with DGUI and replace the one that comes with the patch. You have to apply the patch over the sh3.exe that you patched in the first step.

Finally, apply the chrono patch and copy the patched exe to the DGUI folder and install it.

Please let me know if everything went ok.

Regards,

Diego
