Hi Hector,
here are your Highres German Dark Hud Dials (American side also Dark Huds)



Unfortunally the Depth Needles are painted dark grey. They can only be changed via the Menu1024...ini. A good task for some Menu1024 Gurus.

Download here -> http://www.file-upload.net/download-...Dials.rar.html

Wow. Those are fantastic jimimadrid. Thank you.

As for the menu .ini, I can probably change the needle color.

The telegraph dials for the Batfish are black print on a white background and over top of that is a red lense. How difficult would it be to make a mod like that?

I hope this fits your request.



You have to install this Mod first with JGSME and then add a line to menu_1024_768.ini with JTxE.

Download -> http://www.file-upload.net/download-...graph.rar.html
(Filefront = http://files.filefront.com/JTxE+Red+.../fileinfo.html)

JTxE Download here -> http://home.arcor.de/jimimadrid/MiCasa/SH4/JTxE.exe

If you prefer to modify the menu_1024_768.ini manually then you have to change this line:

[G3F I51]
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/Dials_telegraph.dds

regards

Thanks, Jimi! Two thumbs up! I hope that you didn't have to spend too much time on it.

I'll just modify the .ini file manually.

I noticed that the original MOT has a battery charging order, too. Would it be possible if we added that to the dial that we could map the option to toggle the battery charging button on and off in the menu bar? I know that you mainly do skins. This is just a hypothetical.

I found only a battery charge option through the ordersbar.cfg. I do not know how to implement this button through the menu_1024_768.ini, which would be necessary to add this order to the gauges.
No change for me - would need the help from menu1024_768 gurus.

PS: CapnScurvy noticed a fault in the german dials. The imperial and metric uses both the 260 m depth gauge. I have corrected this and added a download on the first post.
