[REL] OLC 'Gold' MkIId - Page 26

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

Not really, no.

Edit:
If you just want the GUI, try OLC GUI 1.2.7.

Question:

Does the periscope need to fully extended to get accurate ranges? I wouldn't think it would really matter though.

I haven't had a chance to really experiment, but I noticed if I observe a ship with the scope barely extended above the surface some of the ranges were off compared to with the scope fully extended.

Part of this may have been just my lack of experience with using OLC's GUI.

Thanks.

The height of the scope makes no difference.

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:
http://rapidshare.com/files/24663433..._rose.rar.html
The link is limited for 10 downloads.

Thats great, thanks Vorosgy. I cant get your download link to work but I recon I can make my own little mod with the info you have kindly provided. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hey, I just started my third patrol and got surprised by faulty binoculars magnification:

Never seen this before..

Me neither! List your active mods plz (in the order they appear in JSGME).

Here it is:

Went far away from harbour made a save, reloaded the game and it came back to normal. It is probably SH3 Commanders malfunction option that gave this issue.

Never thought it could have an impact on binoculars

Good job you mentioned this. I never used malfunctions/sabotage but looking in the SH3C cfg files it seems that it can cause problems with OLCG2.

I can't be bothered to check that code but I can see immediately that some of it will cause problems (buggered firing solutions for sure, and probably your binocular problem as you guessed). For now I recommend you disable this particular malfunction by backing up Randomised events.cfg and then deleting from it all of the code shown above.

Post #1 edited. Cheers.
