OLC GUI + GWX2.1 issues

Bosje · 07-16-08, 06:16 AM

Ok, i like the OLCE2 but I am not happy with the GUI,

I can get my old GXW2.1 interface back but keep all the nice environments by simply taking away the GUI in jsgme, yes?

And is there a way to have the attack disc ingame after all? will one of the U-jagd mods put that disc ingame or something? or will that make a mess of my GWX interface?

thanks

Do you mean the compass around the boat in the map view, if so then, yes, you can put it back and add whatever tools you want.

It's allready in the OLC Gui's (also Special)! Well, the compass side anyway. Look for a small button at the bottom middle of the TDC dial panel. Watch the long movie again because there are some quirks with it and remembering the TDC settings.

It's very simple to convert a reported bearing to a true bearing for plotting the positions on the map with the line tool. Once the attackdisc is shown, align the long slender pointer (not connected to the AOB disk) to the reported bearing on the brown scale. Read off the true bearing (on that side of the center) on the most inner yellow scale. Then start a line from your uboot on the map to that angle (with the inverted compass scale) and extend until the range. Repeat the proces to get further position plots and figure out AOB. Manual plotting isn't so hard with the right tools.

what i am looking for is a combination of the two, though i doubt that is possible:

the tdc settings available from the periscope view (very nice tool) but the plotting and navigation chart stuff from GWX 2.1, with the addition of the attack disc as an ingame function, to aid with target plotting

does that sound intelligable?

never mind, I have it all sorted out

GWX2.1
OLCE2
U-Jagd 1.3.1 for GWX
Open hatches on all boats
Camera mod for SH3
some minor other additions like lifeboats, torpedo damage, skins, mission orders

Currently very very happy, walking through my beautiful boat and putting torpedoes exactly where I aim them.

To those concerned: thank you very very much for the excellent work on the mods. It has turned this into the best game ever, hands down.

just wanted to get that off my chest. kind regards,

Bosje

edit: 1 small issue, I can't seem to find the heavy flak gun on my type IXC. it's not on the boat and it's not on the upgrade screen in Lorient. Steeds IXC skin possibly the culprit here?

wait until u have contact with a juicy large convoy escorted by mandatory escorts and 1 or 2 light cruisers stomping through a winterstorm let u bounce from +1m to -20m where u even have to almost fully raise ure scope surfaced to see more then just huge waves rolling over ure boat to be able to use the tool and get a descend hit. Last time it took me about 6 hrs, 1 pot of black coffee, 2 packs of smokes and the souls of the crew to down a couple of them without being blown up.
