It's useful, and you shouldn't worry too much about it's historical accuracy since it is simply a sliderule, and the KM had plenty of those. Anther point: when i made those tgas of the pointer arms that you are discussing, i made a small mistake with the two small boat images on the long thin arm. Note the boats have a small line protrusion - on the back for the boat labelled Vorh.Heck and on the front for the boat labelled Vorh.Bug. Those boats should be so placed that that protrusion neatly indicates a number on the funny shaped pointer when it passes over it. At present you notice that those boats are not perfectly placed for this. If you want to do some graphical work, then you can change it, but it's a lot of work for a pretty small adjustment!

Now that I look at the pointers by the half-ship silhouettes, I see what you mean. As I learn working with graphics recently, I could try to move them a bit further from the center. If the result is satisfactory, I'll share it. Is there any chance you could share your original set of files (the curves, layers and so on) of the disc? I must say your Attack Disc was one of the most important additions to SH3 for me. I enjoyed learning and using it, admired effort of those who made it possible and I am still plain astonished by the quality of this work. Compared to ANY US Is-Was I saw in download section (and there are a few) the Kriegsmarine one is a masterpiece. Thank you for that, very much. EDIT: I have learned more about modding, graphics and movies for last 2 weeks of playing SH5 and harassing TDW than in whole my previous life. That's still not much, but at least I can send a sharp movie on YouTube. So I did this one (boring for everyone except TDW I suppose, as it's a bug report): (for more details watch in HD; ping sounds marks the moments where compass misbehaves). The behaviour shown in the movie is a major bug making it difficult to use the Attack Disc - the Compass Rose refuses to turn with the boat and blocks on positions 0 or 180 degrees. As to anti-aliasing, I see at least 2 more graphics that need tweaking:

Does anyone know the reason why the attack disk can only be activated and used, when TDC has been set to "ON" in the XO dialog box ?!?
I mean, I use TDW UI 4.3.0, in "SH3Style" mode and by default on start, you are in a mode I call the "Periscope automatic TDC", which is also a kind of "TDC ON" mode, isn't it ? ACS EDIT1: If someone (for example a specialist of Attack Disk), would like to try the attack Disk in this "Periscope automatic TDC" mode, here is a simple temporary cheat modif he can do into "TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py": ################################## def StartGame(): #ScriptManagerManaged.ShowPythonError( "StartGame" ) global TDCIsOn ###TDCIsOn = Game.GetGameplaySettings( GameWrapper...... TDCIsOn = True ################################## Last edited by ACSoft; 09-12-10 at 08:59 AM. |

To my view, the only valid reason to forbid the access to this disk in this "periscope auto/manual TDC" mode, would be if it cannot work properly in this mode. Otherwise, who can more can the less. Maybe you should try to implement the small cheat modification I have mentionned, it should be helpful for you to understand what I mean and you can probably test yourself, better than me, if my hypothesis is correct. I mean, you are an Attack disk specialist as far as I know, not me. I have totally a newbie to it, be I am very motivated to learn it !!! ACS |

Hey there TDW,
will there be a manual for the proper use of the RAOBF and the Attack Disc, like a PDF or something? Would be really great! |
