As I posted above, I can get the chronometer to work on the attack scope page. The relevant entries in menu_1024_768.ini look like this: [G26 I1] Name=Page attack periscope Type=1027;Menu page ItemID=0x26000000 ParentID=0x0 Pos=0,0,0,0 LoadingMode=2 . . . [G26 I107] Name=Chrono Type=1026;Menu group ItemID=0x26020000 ParentID=0x26000000 ;Pos=608,764,136,52 ;Pos=33,383,200,300 Pos=70,400,200,300 Drag=true Color=0xFFFFFFFF I can make the chronometer appear on the Obs scope and UZO pages, but it is not functional. (Can't start/stop/reset.) The equivalent entries are [G28 I39] Name=Range Type=1026;Menu group ItemID=0x280B0000;THE CHRONO IS NOW LINKED HERE! ParentID=0x28000000 Pos=0,0,0,0 Color=0xFFFFFFFF . . . [G28 I97] Name=Chrono Type=1026;Menu group ItemID=0x28020000 ParentID=0x280B0000 Pos=33,383,200,300 Color=0xFFFFFFFF When I change the ParentID to 0x28000000, the chronometer becomes visible, but doesn't function. I could use the chronometer on the attack scope page as the primary source, but that's going to be awkward at times, especially when using the UZO. Does anyone know of changes I could make to get the chronometer to function on all three pages? I have never seen a way to make Jonz's chronometer functional. If that's possible - and I've seen posts that say it is not - then that would be the best solution of all. BTW, I've checked the dials.cfg and haven't found any change there that will make the chronometer work, either. Also BTW, the position data shown above correct a minor glitch: The chronometer body didn't show on the attack scope screen and the hands were overlaid on the scope FoV. But that's an easy fix. |

Apologies for the double post, but I solved the "problem." Just typos and syntax errors. Chronometer now works on all three scope pages! Jonz's Draggable Chrono works as a repeater (but can't be started or stopped).
vanjast, PM me if you want a copy of my fixed up menu_1024_768.ini. Far as I know, that's the only bug in the mod. And it really looks great! Thank again for all the work! Hey! Hey!

Hello BigWalley. It is me again, and I am in the forums trying to figure out this very problem that you have found a solution for. Currently, using this widescreen mod, I have the chronometer in the wood case that works fine when firing torpedoes but as you point out it can't be started and stopped for other timing uses. I would like to get a chronometer that can be started and stopped. Can you share your solution for this problem with me?
Also, I noticed that the parascope view has floating chronometer dials in its field of view just off to the left side of center. These hands are just floating there, are not contained in any housing, and actually function when firing torpedoes. I am certain that these dials shouldn't be there. How can I get rid of them? |

To make your edits as simple as possible, I've included the entire item block for each change. Just cut and paste the item block over the same numbered block in the menu_1024_768.ini for Van1920x1080. Some of the changes may not be necessary to get the chronometer functionality back. I poked and prodded, and sometimes made multiple changes at the same time. When it worked, I stopped. I didn't bother to find out which changes were the necessary ones! Replace each item block with the corresponding block below. Won't be any need to renumber anything.

BTW, to actuate the chronometer, you must left-click on the center of the small minute-hand dial. Let me know how it goes. Just to reiterate: This is vanjast's work. I just corrected a few minor bugs. |

Is there anyway to get the Message Log, Officer Icons, and control dials (speed, compass, and depth) boxes at the bottom of the screen to be slide out visuals that only appear when the mouse is hovered over that area. Currently these items appear at the bottom of the screen at all times. It would be nice if they were visible only when your mouse was placed in that area. Don't know if this is possible or not.
