[REL] Improved Status Indicators mod

[DarkShip]

Improved Status Indicators mod v1.2 **** Updated (05/18/07) ****
------------------------------------------------------------------



**Last update (05/18/07): Added a new ISI mod version for Ducimus's Flavored to Taste v2.1 -> v2.5 mod and Trigger Maru v1.x mod.


** ISI mod v1.2: Actually, the graphic files are identical as in v1. Readme updated and useless files (.tga) removed.


5 versions of the ISI mod compatible with:

- SH4 v1.2
- SH4 1.2-Beery's RFB 1.2x (also compatible with jimimadrid's green lamp mod)
- SH4 1.2-jimimadrid's shiny hud 1.2
- SH4 1.2-jimimadrid's red hud 1.2
- SH4 1.2-Ducimus's Flavored to Taste 2.x or Trigger Maru 1.x



** B_version: Same light green color as the green lamp mod buttons:

Same green as the green lamp mod (right)

I did this one on request.
However, the indicators look a bit flat; I had to remove the shadow and glow effects of the first version to match up with the tint.
The indicators are small -> not enough space for a suitable gradient effect without darkening or fading excessively the main color.

Equally, the very small CO2 indicator may appear slightly darker although the green color used is identical.





------------------------

v1:

I found that SH4 levels indicators were not easily readable, so I've added some color.


At a glance, there isn't much difference between these two indicators in stock SH4:

Fuel level on (left) ; Compressed air level on (right)

Here, the battery level is displayed with the Improved Status Indicator Mod:

Also, the 4 buttons will turn yellow if you hover the mouse over them.

Actually this is a very simple mod! I hope you'll find it useful.


This mod is compatible with SH4 v1.10.

As a lot of you are already using different HUD mods, I have made my mod compatible with the following:
- Beery's Real Fleet Boat mod vxx -> v1.11
- jimimadrid shinyborder or red HUD


All versions JSGME-friendly.

I always used DarkShip's_ISI_Mod for Berry's Real Fleet Boat (also compatible with the Green Lamp mod):

Because i also use the greenlamp mod, now the greenlamp mod has been updated for patch 1.2 can this mod also be updated please.

[flyingdane]

Thanks.

[Redwine]

Wonderful ! many thanks for compatibility job !

[CyberOps]

I gues you guys misunderstood im asking if it can be updated not that i updated it lol sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Beery]

This is great! Since you've even configured a version for RFB I assume you won't mind if I add this to the mod. Thanks for doing the extra work to make it compatible.

[DarkShip]

Beery,
No problem; thx for asking.
Congrats for your great RFB, Beery. It's hudge step in improving SH4.
Regarding the ISI mod, I have removed the hud.tga file (since v1.2) as some of the .tga(s) are not directly used by the program in SH4.
IMO, this hud.tga, like many other tga files from SH3 left in SH4 folders are just a sequel of the original development idea to include SH4 as an addon to SH3.
I still can't figure out why nobody in the dev team has taken the -small- time needed to remove all these useless files.


@ MONOLYTH,
