[REL] More realistic periscope

[Txema]

Very nice work !!!

Is it possible to use this mod on top of the new User Interfaces developed by TheDarkWraith ??

Or we need some changes to make them compatible?

You need to alter his menu.ini and periscope ini files - ill doo that in a short while, but it will be for a 1900x1200 screen res.

Aww, I can't just plaster this on top of Darkwraith's UI? I was sure hoping I could use this mod.

Just looks too good to leave alone

Edit: Anyone up for making a 16:10 (8:5) version?

- thicker shadow around egde (looked jaggy at some aspect ratios)
- circular UZO and binocs view
- changed reticle on attack scope, essentialy identical to obs. scope

why do you make them the same?

I tried that last night, and it ended... oddly. I'll wait for your fix.

Jeesh, I take 1 night off and I get sidelined on my own project.

- On stadimeter: as far as I understand it, the mast heights don't get send to it. No matter how you identify a ship, the result will always come out the same. imho ignore the thing, it's broken.

- 8:5 version is already included in the patch pack

- This mod changes the obs.scope ini, it might conflict with DarkWraith's mod there. Menu.ini has no changes made by this mod. I'll contact him and see about compatibility.

- I asked and got permission to integrate CCIP's tweaks. Will be included in v1.3.

- Hitman's point on discolouration to the sides of the attack scope view have been noted and integrated in v1.3.

- The horizontal part of the reticle in the att. scope will be moved to the bottom to correspond to new illustration.

- Will start work on binocular reticle to match illustration.

Requested permission to release patch for TDW GUI compatibility. Need to take his "page obs periscope.ini" and make 1 change. I'll put it in a patch, and integrate into v1.3. (if I get permission )

Install his mod, then this one and finally apply patch.

Too bad for them, there's other projects less dedicated to realism.

Emtguf has one very similar, already distributed with TDW UI.

some tests, PQ-17 mission, 21h00, attack scope is too dark to use because of dusk. view from the observation scope, using the latest build.












surprisingly enough, after just a few days of using this mod, I am already at a point where I can now roughly guesstimate the range of a ship just by looking at it.

Ooh, nice!

Now that's the kind of comment that makes me smile!
