[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[TheDarkWraith]

contact spotted time is working!

there are 3 ways to show the contact spotted time:

select the target on the mini-map:


rotate your scope view over the target or lock onto the target. If you lock onto the target then you will only get contact time for that target even if you rotate your scope to another target (here i just rotated the UZO over the target):

Looking so nice i can almost taste a full manual torpedo firing solution coming on

Lovely Work TDW

I think the Time Stamp people are talking about is the Time Stamp for Radio Reports, not when your deck watch spots them.
With a Time Stamp for the Radio Contact Reports displayed on map view, it enable the Skipper to easily plot a estimated intercept course.
Knowing what time you get visual, well, the clock is right there anyway.

P.S. Nauticalwolf, you rock! Those Icon's look very nice.

So 512 to start with I guess and we'll see from there

feature added. You set the TDC level you want the messagebox visible and expanded to via this option ShowMessageBoxAndExpandAtTCLevel

the logic is:

if TC level >= ShowMessageBoxAndExpandAtTCLevel
ensure messagebox is visible
ensure messagebox is expanded

well that is a contact so the timestamp should be added to it. Do these radio contacts show up on the map?

Yes, when you receive a radio contact report it places the contact on the Map but it ommits the Date/Time stamp that was there in previous SH versions.

oh ok, so I need to add a date stamp also to them......good to know

I was rummaging through the Conning Tower GR2 files and notice that the Radar and Radio Antenna are setup to Extend like the Periscope. The I recalled that I've actually seen these Antenna extended before in SHIII.
May explain why the radar is so poor in SH5. Has anyone had any luck getting these Antenna working?

Drop dead sexy!

anyone got any saved missions where they receive a radio report to test out this date time stamp I added?

Greetings TDW, Which single button is used?

the crash dive icon located on the depth bar....you have surfaced, periscope depth, dive, crash dive, and then emergency surface (blow ballast)

Main problem is you lose them when you save/load... so just gotta wait for another one to appear.

I have a test mission where you get an icon for one, but never did get the radio report working correctly.

Ah!, tried that but it tells me "Cannot submerge now, Crew on the Deck" So I may not have that mod installed but am using your mod though.
