[REL] Periscope Rework BETA

[emtguf]

Ok New Version Available 3/20/10
This is Version 1.0

-New Periscope Eyepiece
- Reworked View
- Added Graticule Numbers

Distance is gathered using This formula..
Mast Height X 100 / Graticule marks
If mast lines up inside a mark use decimal for instance if it is at 3 1/2 marks you would use 3.5 (this was asked a few times in PM)

As before I have 2 versions one for stock UI, and one for use with UI Mods. Just copy the one you want to your mods folder and install with JSGME.

Thanks emtguf, I've been looking for the scope marking but, haven't found them yet, I have a feeling there in the editor on one of the pages.
There are a lot of the pages with there x any y values set outside of the standard x=0 y=768 eg x=1024 y =768 so you cannot see them on screen in the editor.
The way around this that I've been using is to change the Anchor page to null and then Change the x and y value to 0, 768.
Hope this makes sense, Theres a lot of pages in there with allot of redundant stuff.

Are the Heights working out ok at 1x and 4x compared to the mast heights now with with this release.
Thanks will download and try it out, will update if I come across these markings.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly (good chance I'm not) then the stock reticule is not a picture but a shader or other array of vector graphical information. This allows the best scalability with resolution.

I did notice that the stock SH5 has different reticules for low-power and high-power zooms, which isn't right. I know the UZO just had a vertical centerline on some binoculars. Obs periscope had a lesser amount of markings than the attack.

Yes the heights are working out. I have the zoom at 1.5 and 6 now. Also adjusted the anggle data as well. Guess ill load up the editor and look around.

Just a though and a bit OT but has anyone though about using a background color other than stark black, say an ebony?

I think that would help the dials blend in and not stand out so much, as it is now they seem to be floating in space not fixed to something.

So it has been out for about a day now. Any comments to it's function?
I am working now on making the Graticule better looking, and should have an update for that later today. Want to make sure people are getting accurate distances though before I totally set in stone the marks location.

Thanks all

Yes, I'm currently working on one in that line. Will make it to work with this Mod if the measurment are working out ok.
If so then will update my Recognition mod in conjunction with the Graticule from this Mod to show the points to measure with stadimeter.
If thats ok with you emtguf.

Yeah that works.
I actually worked on a texture but there are several in the menu editor that would have to be changed as well. Believe they are the blackmasks that extend out further than your scope.
I had drawn out a metal looking background on the one I just released but removed it till I can have more time to mess with the menu editor. Wish I could find the standard UBI marks on the screen to get rid of them as well.
