Hi:

Quarter room and Command room reworked dials, new clock and some radio tweaks, working now with the rest of the dials and panels.

I noticed the Minute had missing from clock. if you look very close the minute hand is there but it is clear. Maybe Alpha Channel needs some work. This issue existed in stock texture...
Same problem with Radioman Room clock.

Me and BIGREG have both been looking for the textures that are used for needles/clock hands, and we have been unable to figure out where they are coming from. Anyone have any ideas as to where they are?

Look at the Targa Alpha Channel. Clock hands can come form black background of any image but will show up in the Alpha Channel as small white clock hands. Minute hand white image missing from alpha somewhere.
What is the DDS file name for the clock in the radio and sonar room in SH4 v1.5 U-Boat Add-on
If you look at Data\Menu\Skins\German\Gui\Clock.dds as example. Some clock hands not on image but the hands are on image mask(Alpha Channel)

I think clock hands are on Dials.dds

No, all the gui related clocks that I know of do have a texture somewhere that they get the hands from. For example data/Menu/Gui/Chrono.dds.

Edit: I know a good deal about all the GUI textures thanks to working with reaper7 on his mod.

Yes but data/Menu/Gui/Chrono.dds doesn't have a hour hand that looks like the clocks with the missing minute hands.

Have you seen the Hour hand like on the clocks on any images you have worked on?

I've been searching for the Hour Hand in the images and Alpha and haven't found it yet. If you find that image, I will fix the missing minute hand and maybe even the seconds hand.

Also, is it possible the controller is missing from a GR2 file?

Hi:

Must be other file related to that minute hand, I only edited clock background and alpha only have information pointing to that background.

Added some more details to clock, this clock is made by me from blank document !!



Bye !!

I know that the file I mentioned does not have the missing clock hands, I was just saying that there should be a discernible clock hand somewhere since they are used for the Gui's clock.

No, I have not seen them anywhere, that is what I am saying. Me and BIGREG cannot find any dial/gauge/clock needles/hands anywhere.

Nice clock by the way naights. I have not done anything with the clocks yet in my interior mod. But, you are inspiring me to do so.

This problem existed way before your touched anything Naight. I know you had nothing to do with it.

Here is a thought. The clock in the Control Room and the Clock in the Conning Tower both work. Those two clocks face to Port and to Starbord.
The clock face for the Sonar Room faces Aft (Missing Minute Hand) and the Clock in the Radio Room face Foreward (Missing Hour Hand).
All four clocks use the same hands.
Could the orientation of the clock have anything to do with it? In other words, are the clock hand images single sided?
