A "wish list" on SH5

TheDarkWraith · 08-16-11, 06:53 AM

Some of your 'wishes' can be found in my UIs mod. You can find it in the SH5 MODS forum.

yeah ,they could put type XXI in open horizon ,but what to do with interior ?

Well, to edit all graphics is a lot of work - but to use interior from sh5 so long and who knows? - someone maybe will spend some time on the interior art work later when they see that it is possible to do it...
It is maybe possible to use some of interior artwork from SH4... but it dos't solve all stations....

That would be awesome!!

and great

!!

The DarkWraith - Your UI mod is great - tried it, still some minor problem with ship identification book... at least I have it, It is possible that you have any other mod combined with this who makes it work better who knows?
But it is VERY near one step on the "wish list"

If Ubisoft saw a work like this they would maybe think "it's too much look - alike SH4" BUT - it is much easier now to make some commands now than earlier, thums up!!

I maybe don't like when the game doesn't look like it would be the "original" but I like when some functions work better - and it does with this.. Well Done!!

and respect!!

cool - it is difficult to make something like this work as good as it does already..

Easier to use gramophone now too it is also better!!

Keep on modding!!

What are the minor problem(s)? Screenshots would be good to help explain them. When you say ship identification book are you referring to SOAN or the XO TDC dialog box ship ID book?

Well, I have pictures but on this forum it wants an URL "http://" adress..
I am not exactly sure how to put them in on the forum

There was on way to "reach" the ship identification book in SH5 - it is if you click on the picture for XO, turn TDC on an click on the text for the ship, then it is possible to reach information about torpedo depth - and later Turn TDC off and do it "the easy way"

It would be better if identification book was easier to reach..

UI mod:

When I click on Identification book in SH4 button it leaves an "empty page" and its not possible to change pages..
I did also notice that when you plot a new waypoint with "Sh4" buttons it also can be some problems to see lines of the waypoints later - It is maybe because of an "mix" of SH4 and SH5 program files..

But as long you put waypoints as usual on the map it is not any problem..

When enter a port the SH4 buttons is still there - litte stange when you want update your sub..

I did miss the gramophone from SH3 & 4 with this mod its now working ok

, there was one way to use gramophone in SH5 too but I forgot how to do

..

Hmm

... this is your UI Mod version ( 0_2_0 ) is there any newer version that you have done? (I case if I have downloaded any old ones of your UI Mod )

Yes, the current version is 6.7.1 (v6.7.0 with patch 1). You can find it here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...69&postcount=1

The differences between what you have been using (v0.2.0) and the current version are staggering.

You must be using the SH4 style UI. I'm interested with any problems you encounter with using it. It appears that you have mentioned some. You said that when you enter port the SH4 buttons are still there....can you show a screenshot of this? Same thing about the identification book and this 'empty page' you speak about. Screenshot about the lines of the waypoints would be good too.

Could be used the type VII interior for IX-B IX-C boats because were very similar.

XXI could be more unrealistic with the same interior but a lot of people can live with that

Except of course that the IX has four engines and two stern torpedo tubes, and a larger conning tower that houses both periscopes.
