Well, still getting nowhere with this.

At least I've been able to get a single object to move -- either the slide or the cursor -- but not both independently of each other and niether of them horizontal or in rotation. All either will do is move up and down the screen, depending on which one is being called up in the Dials.cfg file.

Furthermore, I can't "grab" them in the tool. I have to move them with an existing tool, which in the latest case/test has been the AOB wheel on the upper portion of the attack and observation periscopes.

Nothing possible so far with the Omnimeter changes, either. No matter what I tried to do other than change the graphics, it just breaks when I try to use something of my own with the original stuff.

If I could get my hands on the "kit" or "raw" files from Karamazov, I could PROBABLY try and see how things were done. As it stands with only the final product, well, nothing really makes much sense since I have no access as to WHY or HOW things are interacting with each other.

On the bright side, I can probably make a PDF with these and upload something like the "is-was" that you could print and use at home. Maybe even write a manual to help the user actually use the tool to calculate things.

We'll see.
