[WIP] Recognition Manual Overhaul - FotRSU-NM-NK Edition

StimpsonJCat · 07-28-24, 11:03 AM

Does this mod only work if you alreaqdy have Nihon Maru and Nippon Maru installed, or can it work with the vanilla FOTRSU recognition manual?

First off, sorry for the late response and the fact I've been out for a while. Things with family always come first, and I've had a doozy of a time in the last few months.

Thankfully, eveything is good now.

BB, the manual is changed via a "scaling" change in the "Zone" line. When you read the line at the start of the section (G25, I believe) you will see there is a "2" followed by a "1". It should be the first sub-section which is "I1" if I remember correctly. One of them ("1" or "2") has to be changed to change the ratio control from horizontal to vertical. That would change the manual to something a little smaller since the control would be top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right.

I don't want to "break" your sim, but try changing the "2" to a "1" and see what happens. If it doesn't work, then change it back to "2" and let us know. I have to dig through the notes I have and some of the tutorials to see how I actually did that. Besides, I need the refresher anyways.

I'm working on trying to merge some stuff from here with the BuPers Mod, so we'll see what can be done.

Right now I just want to see if this thing can work with TMO-BH as well as FotRSU.

We'll see.

It should work with the regular FotRSU, but I haven't tried it yet. The changes are basically just lines added for the user to have length info in a handy manner since it's now part of the ship's entry itself. If the ship isn't there, then you just wouldn't have the info.

It's nice since it gives you the info for length as part of the "name" of the ship in the manual as well as on the map once the ship has been identified.

Let us know if it doesn't work with the regular/vanilla FotRSU.
