[MOD Release] Integrated TDC & Slideout Compass for GWX

[Woof1701]

Integrated TDC & Slideout Compass for GWX V1.0 Jan 06, 2007



Hello everyone,



What is it?
This mod is released by me since I found it impractical to always switch to the TDC screen to make torpedo adjustments, and because the tiny compass on the bottom in my opinion makes entering a precise heading extremely difficult. So I took the NYGM integrated TDC for the periscope and the UZO as well as Ottos' brilliant slideout compass and included them in one mod.
In order to use the compass just move your mouse in the left top corner and it will slide out. In addition the small compass in the bottom was removed and substituted for a small stopwatch. It's visible in all screens and - like the dragable chronometer - starts only if you start it manually on the UZO or periscope screen, or fire a torpedo. Also included are low contrast periscope and UZO screens to make night vision easier.

To make it clear. None of the mods were made directly by me and I don't want to take any credit for that. I merely combined the two mods because it makes my life in SH3 easier and I wanted to share that. For Credits see below.



Installation:
Just install it like you would any JSGME mod.
This package also includes the original readme for the slideout compass by Ottos as well as a file that shows all modifications and additions that have to be made to include the slideout compass in anywhere else than GWX. If you're using SH3 with GWX you won't need this file.



Known issues:
- This mod is ONLY for use with SH3 in combination with GWX. It won't work with a vanilla SH3 installation.
- The dragable chronometer will work but the needle won't be in the middle anymore. If anyone could help me with that, I'd be very grateful.
- This mod is NOT compatible with any mod that changes either the menu_1024_768.ini or the dials.cfg files after GWX is installed! You will most likely experience problems or CTDs if you use it!
