On other hand, why your game is installed in programfileX86?

Fifi, - you're a genius! Turns out I had two installations on my computer, - one from ages ago when I first bought the game (in program filex86), and the more recent one in its own folder on the E drive.

I installed JGME and the mod in the old X86 installation but I was playing the newer one, so naturally the mod didn't work. I've deleted the X86 one so this won't happen again.

Many thanks to you and Sober for trying to help me and sorry for being such an idiot...

I'm so happy that now I can actually get into this game, - thanks to TheDarkWraith too of course!

Cool, glad you solved it, and happy hunting!

Okay, I agree that the subset thing is by far more important

I think we can group the charts and maps already featured in New UI's with the new ones, and use for all of them the icon already in use for toggling charts visibility on/off (the clipboard). But I would assign the SOAN its own separated button/icon. If you this proposal I will draw an ad hoc icon just for it.

What about the top right menu bar?
Once we decide how to implement the new feature, I will send you any chart and icon we might need

I started merging naight's alternative speed graphics with my reworked depth gauges, and I ended by totally reskinning your UI. I will send you my alternative textures once I will get them ready, for you to include them as optional mod with New UI's, provided that you like them.

I have two questions atm:

what texture is used for the grey panels? I can't locate then in Hud3.dds?

Is it possible to change font/color of the numbers and letters in the headings bar?

You'll have to show me screenshots of both so I can look them up

Here it is:

Main UI and background color is set via the RGB values for each item in the menu editor app. It's actually a black texture used but when you change the RGB values you change it's color

Should be able to do the same with the heading indicator numbers...give me a sec to play with it...

EDIT: yep, just change the RGB values for the heading indicator to change it's color

Okay, nevermind: I wanted to use a scratched anti-rust texture for them, but since their color is set via code I won't ask you to assign a texture instead. Our low-end computers wouldn't appreciate this decision

What about numbers, cardinal points and hashmarks inside the heading bar?

You can use a scratched anti-rust texture. Just change the texture used for the menu items from the black.dds to yours.

The heading bar just change the RGB values to change it's color.

Do you mean blank.dds? Is this texture tiled? Won't the color you have set as RGB value interfere with the texture itself?

Where can I change these values?

Should be fine.

Where can I change these values?

Using the menu-editor of the game. Say yes when you first start the game and it asks you if you want to use the menu-editor.

Have I to run the menu editor before running the game?

My question is probably stupid, but I have never used this tool...

You'll have to edit the main.cfg file found in \documents\SH5\data\cfg. Open it up and make the following look exactly like the below:

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes <--- you can set this one to No

I'm sorry, but a stupid question:

I've changed for dials SH3 styles, and the message box is now on my top left screen...it's kind of annoying for me, so i've mapped a new key for it to toggle on/off. Perfect so far.

I saw in the TDW file viewer this box can be draggable, so i checked to enable this feature...but no joy. Impossible to drag it where i want

Any idea why it's not draggable?
