The MaGui mod - Final version

klh · 06-06-10, 07:02 AM

I love this GUI, and really appreciate the hard work that went into it.

I'm having a problem running it with the FM interior mod. I installed FM, then MaGui 3.3, then the MaGui/FM 3.3 fix as described in the manual. Both mods work fine by themselves, but together the open hatches command and engine room cam no longer work. I am using the latest version of JGME

Anyone have a similar experience and how did you fix it?

(By the way, I am running mostly stock. I've been in a campaign since GWX3 came out and since I play DiD, I haven't upgraded yet.)

Thank you for the explanation. Sure your version is more eyecandy than reticles on the centreline!

Can't wait to use your awesome mod (and a few other mods that got released since the last time I could play the game...)

hi Klh,
the 'fix' is tested and working fine. i am running it at my install and all works as expected.
what do you mean by saying '' open hatches command doesn't wok'' .you mean that ''shift+H'' and ''ctrl+H'' is not working ?
and also what do you mean with the engine room cam problem? can you express yourself with other words ?
please ,show me your mods list (showing the order of active mods)

bye

Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt I'm doing something wrong.

Here's my mod list that's giving me trouble...

Vasserbomben_Chalkboard
UboatReflectionsFix
Tikigod's - Engine Order Telegraph (German)
Shell Damage Textures
RealisticFatigue 2.0
Ambient Hydrophone Sound
Ambient Underwater Sound
Explosions_and_gunfire
JIRM - Stock SH3
Cable Fix Type VIIC
NewDcSounds
FM_NewInterior_V1.0
MaGui 3.3
optional-No Stealthmeter for MaGui 3.3
optional-stopwatch with speed lines for MaGui 3.3
FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3.3

When I say the open hatch commands don't work, I mean that after installing MaGui 3.3, the Shift-H and Ctrl-H don't do anything. I can not open the hatches. Without MaGui installed, I can open the hatches.

Also, pressing Shift-E does not do anything after MaGui is installed on top of my FM_NI.

I'm guessing it has something to do with my other mods, or the fact that I'm not running GWX, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello klh.

I believe that the problems you face are due to a wrong installation order.
The "FM Interior" mod should be enabled after makman's mod. This way, when you enable the fix after flakmonkey's mod, the cameras.dat file which is included in the fix and which has been adjusted for the "MaGui" mod, will overwrite fm's cameras.dat (which has already overwritten magui's own cameras.dat) and will ensure compatibility between makman's mod and flakmonkey's mod.

You have enabled makman's files after fm's own files thus undoing any changes fm's cameras.dat file introduced.

This is my opinion but wait for makman to reply too.

EDIT

I was wrong. From the readme.

for those who want to use Flakmonkey&DD's ''FM_NI'' mod with MaGui 3.3

B. without Anvart's mods
------------------------
1.DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038
2.FM_NewInterior_V1.0
3.MaGui 3.3
5.FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3.3

Thank you comet.

Not sure about that. My mod load order is the original FM mod, then Magui3.3 and then the FM fix by makman for v3.3. Everything works just as it is suppose to with that setup.

You are right, comet and i was wrong. I've edited my post above.^^

hi Klh,

from the way you are describing the situation , two things are more possible:

A.according to your note ,it seems that the 'fix' is not taking effect ! i am saying this becuase there are ,indeed, in the fix's command file the orders shift-h ,ctrl-h and shift-e
so,disable the 'fix' and reenable it ! does the jsgme is warning you for conflicts with magui 3.3's commands ? if YES ,this is normal , proceed and activate it .
if not then the fix is not installed correctly
now,assuming that your install is correct ,enter the torpedo training mission(no other mission...just enter this one) .do you still have the issues there ?

B. the other posibility ( that i think is exactly your fault) is that you are not riding a viib sub (when you tested fm-ni fix for magui).
the correct install is :

without Anvart's mods
-------------------------
1.DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038
2.FM_NewInterior_V1.0
3.MaGui 3.3
4.FM_NI_Fix_for_MaGui 3.3

the ''DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038'' is neseccery if you want 'opening hatces' to all types of subs ( ''FM_NewInterior_V1.0 '' is containing 'opening hatch' only for types viib)

so if you are not riding a type viib sub then the shift-h,ctrl-h (you haven't enable the ''1'') and shift-E (no engine room to other than viib ) are useless.
thats why i am saying to test it at torpedo training mission

bye

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try as soon as I dock from my current mission. I will let you know what happens.

Makman,

You were exactly correct.

In my career, I have a VIIC boat.

But when I tested FM_NI and MaGui separately, I was running one of the single missions using a VIIB. It was only after loading both that I tried them in my career mission, and couldn't get it to work. Somehow I missed that FM_NI only modeled the VIIB hatches.

Thank you for helping me to sort this out.
