[REL]Another CombiMod GUI v1.1.0

karamazovnew · 08-03-09, 10:17 AM

Gratz. I've been trying to place a chronometer in the nav map and the hydro room screens. Seems that some pages don't allow the reading of data from the dials.cfg file. Atm I'm hard at work to make a similar inteface for SH4. I've already managed to put all the dials into the periscope screen and they work as intended, except for one big "minor" detail. I can't move the autoupdate button from the TDC map. It seems that in SH4, the game checks a list of it's hardcoded menu id's, to figure out what to place on German and on US subs. That means that I can't, under no circumstance, place any new button in any screen with a commands.cgf command attached, or move any "glass" object to show if the TDC is on or off. My only option seems to put a button in the orders bar and assign a keyboard command. The same goes for the open/close tubes command. I think I'll resort to buttons in the orders bar for those too (probably with versions for each german sub, since they have different number of tubes). Graphic switches can be linked to the "Open tube X" dials, to show their status, but clicking them won't do anything.

This is awesome.

Because of your mod I wanna play on 100% reality.

Keep up the good work.

Since I'm currently trying to make an OLC/ACM type interface for SH4 I can only marvel at the amount of work that was involved in these interface mods. Yet such work is neccesary in order to adapt the game to one's needs. Especially in SH4

. But until that is finished, I have noted 2 problems with ACM:
1. the download link for the original ACM doesn't work for me.
2. combining ACM with the latest OLC is problematic.

Since ACM included an older variant of OLC, I've winmerged all of the files in order to reduce the impact of the mods and ,for the moment, it seems to work very well. The waves improvement in OLC will be lost (in case you don't mind loosing the ability to change zoom levels). But all of the other improvements work. I'll test it a bit more and, if it all works well, I'll post a link to a full archive that can be used with "OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ Option 4 ~ Environment with EDE and GUI with LRT".

I have made for my personal use the same combi mod and I had the same observations as you. If it can help you there is my little contribution here, but be careful I'm not a moder and even it seems to work that's not mean that it isn't without errors.

Take care

Already downloading. Mine has an issue with the Orders Page, I can't see the exit button so I'll try yours

. I'll still keep my basis.cfg file tho... I like receiving renown for arriving at the proper patrol zone (even though it's usually empty). Without that I'd just loiter around the east coast of britain and lately they've placed mines there

Thomsen, check out Lopo's link, i'll still do my job and post a smaller version without OLC's for those that already have it. About the compatibility. ACM is GWX3 compatible. Same is OLC's mark2+ACM, so enjoy...

Is there a way that I could back my auxilary stopwatch?
I realy used to have her I now I`m missing her very much.
Thaks in advance

You mean the draggable watch by JonZ? The one that you couldn't click? I don't like draggable stuff on my screen as it's already too cluttered

. That's why I didn't include it. Short answer NO, long answer YES, but you have to mod it yourself. This should also work on the original ACM, as I didn't mess with the dials or with the G3F page.

You need to include this in the Data\Menu\Cfg\dials.cfg file:

DialsNo=91 (AT THE START)

and add at the end:

[Dial87]
Name=Add_ChronoSec
Type=13; DIAL_CHRONO_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00002
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dial88]
Name=Add_ChronoMin
Type=14; DIAL_CHRONO_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00003
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

[Dial89]
Name=Add_ChronoEstSec
Type=40; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00004
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dial90]
Name=Add_ChronoEstMin
Type=41; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3FF00005
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

Then go to the Data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini file and at this at the end of the file, or even better, at the end of the G3F page (search for "[G40 I1]" and place just above):

[G3F I387]
