Fixing the ARB WideGUI "salvo" switch?

prowler3 · 02-02-21, 08:40 PM

Just got it figured out. The fixes are contained in "F:\SH3 Commander\U-boat" folder (that was not plainly stated). You must make sure SH3 Commander is installed before you install the ARB WideGUI upgrade.

I have no idea why this simple fix requires SH3 Commander...but I use it anyway so.....

Never mind...the fixes are worse than not having tube numbers at all

!
They are not correct for the type Uboat you are in and the amount of tubes it has. Sheesh!! I'm removing them.

I am afraid you can't fix that. It is hard coded and it does not work outside of the attack map. What ARB does is install a different graphic for each submarine (using SH3Commander) which goes on top of the switch graphic but then the numbers are doubled in the attack map switch. That is why I used a small switch in DGUI, to make it less evident.

try with this ARB adaptation for wac5.2

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=239167
It works : "-Salvo selector numbers visible at periscop view F3, at tdc view F6 and at uzo view."

go in the mod there is TDC8.tga (in data\Menu\Gui\TDC)
and go in menu_1024_768.ini, you will find it too.

Yep...the "doubled" numbers are also a problem, as well as incorrect tube numbers for the uboat type.
