Magic, one day your patience will be awarded!

Just checked the link: it is correct, though when trying to use it I get myself the message: "the file is temporarily unavailable".
Let's wait until tomorrow. If problem will persist I will upload the package again, possibly in another server.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Hehe thank you Magic,
this is my very first attempt at Silent Hunter modding (not new at graphics editing for games, though...) and it seems I got already a fan!

Criticisms and suggestions from anyone for improving this mod are very welcomed, indeed.

Great job! Even the mouse cursor from the start menu changes. Just this mouse cursor a little big and gum in the game.
Thanks for this job

great work tools work perfect for me but their shortcuts r still the same but all work and show on map perfectly.
im using TDW's new uis 6.4.0 and some other mods but cant figure why i cant see the shortcuts as seen on your post.

so, what do exactly bothers you about mouse cursor's size? Maybe I should reduce it, or at least rotate it a bit, because I think it is overlapping shortcut labels, making difficult to read their first word. It was something I wanted to correct before release, but I forgot to do so. Another fix could be changing the labels offset. I could ask TDW how to do it, if this is your problem.

As for the eraser and other basic maptools cursors, I made them quite big on purpose, because I wanted to keep the same size as the big map tools shortcuts. I think it is cool to see them desappearing from the bottom right map corner and reappear as pointers of same shape and size on the center of the map!

if you're using TDW UIs, there's an option for enabling them in TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py.
Look for this row...

# this will add support for the IO Strategic Map mod by Obelix
# change below to either True or False
MapToolsAsObjects = False

...and change its value to True.
They will show also with no IO Strategic Map enabled.

On my install, i have a bug with you mod and equatool too, all work fine except the compas, when i try to use it, i have 5cm lag between where i want use it, and where it mark on the map...

Why are the nazi gaps (german black addlers) looking at the different directions?

mmm... weird, my maptools and EQUAtools share the usage of custom size .tga files instead of .dds files, but if that was the problem it would show with any tool and cursor, not only with compass. Can you post a screenshot? Anyone having the same problem?

this small incostintency belonged to an early version of my tools. It got fixed before the final release, but I forgot to update the screenshots.

mistake, because all the files are not made in DDS format.

No, not an mistake, because we can have in sh5 .tga files, when all .dds files are disabled. And in this MOD the .dds files are disabled by .dds "Dummy-Files", so that .tga format files work !
