[REL] OLC 'Gold' MkIId

vorosgy · 06-14-09, 03:37 PM

I installed the mod a few days ago, and I'm still missing the zoom... I hope it will get better!

The other thing I miss is the bearing rose on the map, the one that came with GWX. I'm talking about the compass that is centered on your U-boat on the navmap. It was so helpful! I also cannot see my position on the map (unless I draw some waypoints).

Is there a way to get back that bearing rose?

Btw, thanks for the mod, OLC, it is simply brilliant!

Installed the MOD a few days ago also..this makes the game so much better.

I would advise anyone who is having trouble switching or choosing to switch from auto to manual or thinking that its just not worth the time to learn the targeting to try this mod. If you have access to a laptop and can set it up next to your "SH3 COMPUTER"

Then go ahead and download the "ORIGINAL OLC VIDEO" and play while you watch. The learning curve will shorten if you do this. With in a few hours I was feeling very comfortable with the whole system and often wondered why I didnt do this earlier. As they say in those cheesey ITT commercials back here in the States " If I can do it then anyone can"

Thanks OLC.
You have kept my SH3 from hitting the "ONCE PLAYED" shelf in my vast collection of "ONCE PLAYED"

I managed to get back the bearing rose, so everything is fine.

For those who miss the attack scope zoom: the vertical markings of the observation scope are the same as the attack scope's rangefinder ones. This way you can measure the distance of ships that are far away more accurately.

One question with this MOD..I notice that the Navigator (NA) is the one to goto when you ask for a weather report. How does the Navigator know the weather @ 80meters?

He has got all the neccesary celestial navigation, planet ephemeride and astronomy books under his desk. Wouldn't be surprised if he does astrological predictions as a hobby.

Either that or he's a psychic

What's the longest time you've ever stayed at 80 meters for?

Ok I withdraw the question

The roses for U-boats are contained by these files (without OLC mod, of course):
<SHIII directory>\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat<Type>\NSS_Uboa t<Type>_shp.tga

For example, this file (for the Type IX/b sub):
<SHIII directory>\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9b\NSS_Uboat9b_ shp.tga

To get back the original higher zoom levels for the navigational map (to see the rose more clearly), you may also need to modify this file:
<SHIII directory>\data\Menu\cfg\Maps.cfg
in the row which begins with ZoomLevels.

I made a small JSGME-compatible package for myself, which does these jobs. In case you are interested, you can download it from here:

The link is limited for 10 downloads.

How did you get back the bearing rose?

The mod has been uploaded to the downloads section ("Gameplay Mods").

onelifecrisis · 06-17-09, 01:00 PM

I've made a JSGME mod which will update OLC 'Gold' from MkIIc to MkIId.

MkIId is a small cosmetic update; the changes are:

Slightly modified the partial cloud texture.
Made it easier to tell the difference between "poor" and "moderate" visibility conditions when the sky is overcast (they looked almost exactly the same in MkIIc).

Get the MkIId update here.

OLC, thank you for all your contributions to the SH3 community. As an 8K environment user, I was wondering if there are a few parts of OLC Gold Mod that I could use. I realize you developed this for 16K environments, but are there a few items generic enough that they will also work in an 8K environment? Thx
