Thank you Tonci. Let's hope that in game they will look as good

@ TDW

Refresh my memory please: what is the third order button in Orders04.dds (the one with the "D" mark) used for? I am replacing the letters of position fix orders with proper symbols

Got em, thanks

So far I've added 6 new commands to the game:
Enable_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Disable_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Toggle_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Enable_Aft_DP_Manual_Control
Disable_Aft_DP_Manual_Control
Toggle_Aft_DP_Manual_Control

I've just tested all of them out to ensure they are working as coded and they passed.

I have to add two more new commands to the game that deals with setting the fore/aft diveplanes value (degrees)

Coming along nicely

great work TDW. Is this going to be part of an update for your UI?

Yes it will. The bulk of it is new patches and code for the SH5.exe and SHSim.act files.

The UI update will just utilize the new commands I've made available via the new code in the patches.

As I have done now and in the past I expose the new functionality via new game commands. This allows others to use the new commands in their UI mods or whatever else they made

[TheDarkWraith]

Just finished coding the adding of diveplane messages to the new commands. Now when you change control of diveplanes a message will show in the messagebox:


Same thing will happen when you set the angle of the diveplanes.

These are the new strings for the menu.txt file:

; manual diveplane control patch
11200=Automatic control of fore diveplanes
11201=Manual control of fore diveplanes
11202=Automatic control of aft diveplanes
11203=Manual control of aft diveplanes
11204=Set fore diveplanes to %03d
11205=Set aft diveplanes to %03d

for 11204 and 11205 a positive value means up and a negative value means down

Being that they are menu.txt entries they are easy to change to whatever you want them to be

Clean implementation indeed

All the needed assembly code for the manual control of the diveplanes is finally complete and tested



Now just have to work on the UI updates

Finalized the new strings for menu.txt file:

; manual diveplane control patch
11200=Automatic control of fore diveplanes
11201=Manual control of fore diveplanes
11202=Automatic control of aft diveplanes
11203=Manual control of aft diveplanes
11204=Set fore diveplanes to %d degrees
11205=Set aft diveplanes to %d degrees

And the new commands added by this patch:

Toggle_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Toggle_Aft_DP_Manual_Control
Enable_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Disable_Fore_DP_Manual_Control
Enable_Aft_DP_Manual_Control
Disable_Aft_DP_Manual_Control
Set_Fore_DP_Value
Set_Aft_DP_Value
