[REL] OLC GUI v1.2.7

[onelifecrisis]

I decided to go ahead and post v1.1.1 which is stable for me. If anyone has stability issues with it... you know where to find me

New in this version:

• Added the Flaggen chart to the Observation scope.
• In the stock version of the mod, the recognition manual functioned but looked ugly - this has been fixed.
• In the stock version of the mod, players using German text could see the names of unidentified ships in the periscope - this has been fixed.
• A potentially CTD-causing problem found in v1.1.0 has been fixed.
• Added some polish in miscellaneous places

hey OLC,

just wanted to deliver another big thanks to you. i have always disliked the manual targeting outside the periscope view and it was a reason for me to start playing SH4 again.

the U-Jagd-Tools and now your GUI have added a completely new atmosphere to the game, because it makes it so much more realistic. we can finally do a complete attack, from first sight to torpedoing, in periscope view, and it is SO much more fun.

i always hated the sliding dials too and loved the SH4-style magnifying dials, it is like heaven come true - the wonderful SH3 with GWX and an interface that is even better than that of stock SH4 - WOW. what else could we wish for? okay, maybe GWX 1.04 ;-) this game is getting better and better and better all the time.

again thanks for your great milestone.

OLC,

Great MOD, finally had time to DL and run a few trial missions last night. This is just so intuitive! I had watched the tutorial video prior and had it set in the background so that I could Alt-Tab to it for reference.

I scored a lot of hits! Excellent work, oh and did not experience a CTD and was in the sub about an hour and a half.

One question, I run GWX 1.03 without the 16k atmosphere, is your mod affected by 16k atmosphere....or other 16k type mods?

DL the newest version now!

Thanks

Glad you like it Wilcke

So do I! Right now I'm submerged at 130m just off the sea floor off Scapa Flow, mid 1940, having scored 3 hits out of 4 torps fired at 4 large merchants at the head of a large convoy, from ranges of around 2km. The 4th would've been a hit too, had that merchant not had the wit to start swerving all over the place after watching his pals blow up rather spectactularly (must have been carrying munitions ).

To answer your question: the mod works just the same with 16km but I play 8km for better realism. That might sound all wrong, but certain things (such as the GWX night vision fix) only work with 8km visibility - so be warned, you'll have a hard time pulling off night time surface attacks without being spotted if you use the 16km mod. Kpt. L. will back me up on that one. IMO the game seems better "balanced" somehow at 8km, but each to their own.


Edit: about CTDs, I've had no PM's yet, which is a good sign. I think maybe my graphics card was overheating - the large compass image I mentioned seems to give graphics cards a hard time (based on my own experiences and those of one beta tester) even though it's just a 2D sprite... ah well, as long as it's stable I'm happy.
