[REL]: ACM-GUI Reloaded - h.sie's edition

sergei · 12-20-09, 06:36 PM

Ok I've just had a chance to give this a test drive and I am impressed.
Everything very nicely laid out and functional.

Plus I really appreciate the optional mods that come optimised for use with the main mod. Depth charge shake, WEPS firing solution, LRT.

Exactly the right mix I have been looking for.

Outstanding piece of work h.sie

Cool....been waiting for this....thanks h.sie

h.sie · 12-22-09, 04:17 AM

Thanks guys, but keep in mind, that it's not my work. OLC and Mikhayl did the job. I only made some adjustments to fit my personal taste.

@kamarozewnev: Thanks, but I'm tired of modding this GUI. Although I made only some minor adjustments which most people even do not see, it took me 2-3 months to do that. So I think my work ends here. I'll only fix some bugs if there are some?

Brilliant indeed. I have loved the ACM-mods since they first appeared and with this it can only be better.

Thanks for all the work.

Merry X-mas!!!!

Great job mate. I am facing a minor problem though

; the binocular & HeadingToView shortcut are not functional. Any suggestion?

h.sie · 03-17-10, 04:09 PM

hi nemo,

for me both buttons work. so i bet that parts of this mod have been overwritten by other mods.....perhaps commands_xx.cfg

Thanks h.sie

Hello h.sie !

Is there a chance to see some screenshots, before I download it ?

Best regards,
Magic

h.sie · 12-22-09, 04:45 AM

Hi Magic,

see the links in my first post. my additions did not change the optics of the gui very much.

Looks great!

Question though, has anyone tried it with Living Silent Hunter V5?

Cheers!

I understand but, are you sure? The marks at least take 2 minutes to make. All you need to do is move the Marking Lines group back, move the rest of the items offscreen, parent the periscope marks to the group and fill the color channel of the marks with black. I think it took me more to write this...

Hi karamazovnew,

I had to read your posts 5 or 6 times in order to understand what you mean. It's a language problem, my english isn't very good.

If I understand correctly, you make 3 different images with salvo labels embedded and which one of these images is shown depends on the number of torpedoes a submarine has. But what about the Type 9 and Type 21? They both have 6 torpedos but different salvo selector labels are required for them...

Regarding the Periscope marks: I did not know what you meant with "parent" and "child". But now it's clear. I call them "Group" and "Group member" or "Group Item". Interesting idea. I will test, if it works (if I have the time for it).

Do you know a way to remove the unused UZO marks? Or are they hardcoded?

Thank you!
h.sie

Hi. I really like the interface to begin with... kudos to h.sie with the tweaks. They make it even better, IMHO.

I understand h.sie's reluctance to address individual requests, so let me aim this at anyone else who may have some knowledge of how the menu_1024_768.ini works.

I'm trying to restore a feature from the original that I found useful... the ability to mouse over that little square black panel (with the icons that indicate silent running mode) in the very lower left corner of the screen, and have the air, fuel battery, etc., gauges pop up. I think it's the same function as the CE Report button.

I tried comparing the two ini files but was not able to locate the exact mechanism whereby this was implemented. If anyone know where I should be looking, or could point me to a tutorial or whatever for the ini file, I would be most appreciative.

TIA

New version V1.01 available.

New in V1.01
-------------

* Bugfix: Up/Down-slider for messages was hidden by the stations menu and thus useless.

* Used much better font for the messages box.

* LRT+SRM/LLRT+SRM optional Mods: Made a compatible Addon for Late War Sensors.
