That mod would be usefull, especialy if you can click on the blown up views to more accurately set course (sometimes i realy wish i could just type in course or depth)

Here's the link. It does take a bit of work to install, but I think it's worth it.

Though i wish it went to 400m not 260 depth

I would prefer to type in the depth/course as well

I agree, typing in a course would be very helpful, or a very large dial for picking the correct course. The one it provides is nice, but it is not big enough to real pick, say 162 degree course.

Another thing that would be nice is to be able to click on you sub and get the present course it is on.

I really like this Mod but I'm having trouble with SH3 locking up on startup if I enable this change:

;[G3F I369]
Name=Target;Neuer Eintrag für Transparentmod Leer.tga
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=0x31000006
ParentID=0x31000000
Pos=0,112,1024,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/Menu/Gui/Layout/Leer.tga

MatFlags=0x9
TexFmt=0x9
Drag=true
BmpState=1
NeedFocus=true
SelOne=true
IdGroup=0
StatesColors=0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF

As you can see,I have it remarked out. I've checked and rechecked the readme and the changes I made and I can not find out were the problem is. It appears to be looking for a missing entry for the life of me I can not find. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks.

yea have the same problem--menuid errors about 5 of them before game start and before "initializing" screen. I installed the thing so carefully and slow and have double checked what I can in the memu and dials files, but the game just loads and runs fine (as ar as I can tell...) my mods are :

Grey wolves 1.1a
SH3 Cmdr 2.6
SH3 Gen
with mod Enabler:
Das Boot clothes
Slideout for TDC mod
6 dial simfeeing

al done through Mod enabler... my ony guess is the mods are conflicting (maybe tdc and simfeeling?) anyways anyone else solve this problem as there seems to be people out there who have it..

[NeonSamurai]

Almost definatly a conflict with another mod that changes similar stuff to this mod. Only advice i can give is go over the files the changes take place in, and make sure there arnt any duplicate/copied functions/items.

Oh and if your using JSGME you may want to manualy merge by hand the conflicting mod into the mod it conflicts with. JSGME doesnt handle conflicts very well and will overwrite any files from a previously installed mod with the files from a different mod that was more recently installed. This can cause a whole chain of problems. JSGME works best when applying mods that are different from each other and non conflicting.

.

Did anyone using the stock SH3, 1.4b patch, using SH3 Commander 2.5 and SH3 Gen while I have these three mods installed: DialsFdb2 and Dials Mod V1.2m & Improved Deck Compress V1.1?

I do have a few more mods installed, but I don't think they affect the dials.

By the way, there is a work-around:
I go to the periscope, raise it enough to see the number and point the scope where I want to go. Then I just hit = and the boat takes that course. It's accurate to within .5*. Too bad about the depth, but I find that +/- a meter or two is good enough most of the time.

[NeonSamurai]

Yep though that workaround wont easily give you compass headings (as you have to calculate the bearing offset of the new course from the present), its often just easier to use the dial, or use the dial and then fine tune it with the periscope or uzo. Best solution of all would be as Dangerous Waters has it where you directly type in your course in degrees and depth.
