The incomplete stock UI

[Bilge_Rat]

Yes, that looks very nice DarkWraith. Glad to see you working on improving the stock UI.

if the graphically inclined would like to add an icon to the \data\Menu\Gui\Layout\MainOrders.dds file I would very much appreciate it for the emergency surface icon I added

Not sure what size it needs to be, but how about this one:

Looking good DarkWraith
Esp like the idea of being able to adapt it to your own needs
Gotta have a compass
lol

Just a thought but as you have bought back weather reports
Wonder if any way to send a weather report
Was broken in SH3 and as you know any boat out of torps but plenty of fuel ( or was it the othe rway around ) would end up as a weather boat for a while sending back reports

Something that could be added into the missions

Hi Dark did up a quick one for ya (Have in dds with alpha as well, Grey is in alpha so layout color will be consistent with other icons)

Edit: Can be uesd for surface as well as dive, just rotate 90' (cause I just noticed I did it a Crashdive ).



PS. Have also done up some TDC graphics is you want to use em.

Have done one of the data\Menu\Gui\Layout\MainOrders.dds as well as the data\Menu\Gui\Layout\Hud3.dds if your interested.
In the same styling. Again just showing the Alpha, otherwise to appears a very dark Brown in RBG. PM for Hud3.dds file.




Edit: Redone the mainorders.dds

DarkWraith, that screenshot is better pure awesome!

I have one request though. Can you make it so that if i put the map down it stays down? One thing that bugs the piss out of me is when i put it down, look through the peri or UZO, and it pops up again, and then back to normal view, and it pops up yet again! Just a personal perference thing, but id rather only want to see that map when i call on it.

You need the Less Annoying TAI Mod by Gutted.

Awsome. You guys are making SH5 look like it was meant to look. The icons are really cool too. Using Dark's ui now but this would really complete the way SH5 looks. Thanks.

already fixed. The TAI map is now intelligent. There are settings in my file that the user can enable/disable that controls whether the TAI map expands to TAI state (if it was minimized) when you use the UZO, attack periscope, or Obs periscope. I don't like the TAI expanding from minimized when I use those views so I added these options in. When you leave the station (UZO, attack, or obs) the TAI map will close back down to minimized state if it was previously minimized.

those will work great. Thanks. Where can I download them from?

Now we need to start thinking about the orders bar (that I haven't added yet). We're going to need to decide on what to put in it (I can add more boxes to it if needed) and we'll need new icons for it. So what captain's orders should we put in the orders boxes?

AOTD_Rhoenen is working on updating the SH3 looking orders (the icons that show up above the officers (silent running, raise snorkel, lower snorkel, target waterline, etc.) to a more modern look to go with the SH5 new UI theme. He was the one who did the officers that I'm using currently

Why, I thought the idea was to get away from the modern theme?
