Do you mean the dials that display when you use SH4Style by changing the UIStyle value in the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file?

oscar19681 · 05-25-10, 04:36 PM

well i had a mod once which featured the 3 dails to the right. But ill settle for the whole sh-4 look.

For some reason that old style compass in the UI just didn't work for me with the newer look. So I slapped Jimimarid's Hi-Res dials in manually for my own personal mod and it seems to work for me.

Of course now I'm going have to make it a personal mod structure so I don't have to copy the file over and over again.

very nice

You know that compass is draggable also right? Move towards the top of it and the cursor will change to the all arrows denoting draggable

kylania · 05-25-10, 04:47 PM

Both the SH3Style and SH4Style have the traditional 3 dials look. So does reaper7's mod.

Longam, those look great!

Hmm, I think he's referring to the journal, and I think I'm having this problem too.

Departed from Kiel, moving through harbour, setting waypoints and chatting to crew. Trouble is, after first entering a journal log to test it out, "Departing Kiel for patrol, leek and potato soup tonight," it's no longer updating anything. Is there a way to get it updating automatically again? I can enter new entries, and I saved it as a new journal (and a box popped up confirming this) but nothing new appears. No course changes, crew mentions, nowt.

Any thoughts chaps?

Other than that glitch, I have to say that this mod is really floating my boat right now! Can't wait to test it out in battle!

when you enter new entries do they show up in the bottom right messagebox? Have the navigator do a depth under keel report and see if his report doesn't show up in the ships journal and the messagebox.

nervouspete · 05-25-10, 05:40 PM

The entries I edit appear in the lower corner box, but nothing else does - the game fails to update it. Tested it with the depth thing, nothing I'm afraid. When I hit Shift-. I hear him report the depth, but nothing pops up in the log.

The tooltips also seem to have disappeared, starting with the journal. Nothing pops up when I hover my mouse over stuff. Don't know if that's caused by the same thing or not.

interesting. Give me the exact sequence of events you did that caused the ships journal to quit updating. I'd like to test it out on my system.

nervouspete · 05-25-10, 05:48 PM

I can't remember for sure, but I think I clicked on the first button on the bottom journal that is a sort of load existing journal button. Foolishly I thought it was for creating, and typed in a new name and clicked accept. The error message came back at me after I had to alt-tab to read it, and I clicked ok and came back into the game.

Then I created a new log entry as stated before, and then saved the log as my own, 'U030 Peter Garland' which it created a new folder for and okayed.

Might restart patrol now, see if that fixes it. I'll see if I can redo what errors I made and let you know what it said too.

nervouspete · 05-25-10, 06:05 PM

Righto, exited to main menu and started a new career without exiting game. Tooltips came back but it still failed to auto-update.

Can I double check the exact procedure a newbie should use to kick off their journal, which buttons to press and what to type in? I'm guessing:

Click second '@' button - enter new name for journal you want to be saving. For example 'Captain Awesomo'

Edit away.

Save whenever stuff happens that you want to be sure of keeping, and at very end.

Go live a real life for while. Rub eyes at dazzling sunlight outside.

Succumb to withdrawl. Load up old game, click first '@' button to load, enter the name you saved under, find your old entries all listed and repeat as before.

That be the way?
