[REL]U-jagd tools mod 1.3

[joegrundman]

Hi Puster Bill

I'm sure you could do it yourself. It would only take ten minutes of your time with a decent image editor such as photoshop or the freeware program, Gimp.

Thanks for the heads up about the accuracy. I don't think an error of 0.05 is really going to be a limiting factor at even long range situations, but I'll take a look at it if i release another update.

It didn't take long to put in crosses so here it is:

note that these images are "weathered". This is important so that it doesn't look out of place on screen, but it may not work so well on a card tool

Hi, Joegrundman,

Anyway you could release a version compatible with Internal Orders mod ?
I really appreciate your work but I can't get rid of my internal orders cause what I prefer in that game is the immersion feeling.

Maybe does it exist a trick to permit the use of the 2 mods together without any special work...

Tanx 4 the reply

I take it you are using GWX. with integrated orders.

You can use IO and U-jagd together no problem, but you have to merge them yourself. You need to download

U-jagd 1.3.1_GWX_DIY

This contains instructions for merging the two mods. (If I were you, I would copy the IO mod first, rename the copy to Integrated Orders + U-jagd and use this copy for the mod merge rather than the original)

I have another question. Over on the SH4 boards WernerSobe has created a periscope that fills up the entire screen, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=129941 and OLC's GUI has one for at least one of its options. I prefer to use U-jagd because it allows for the 6-Dials Simfeeling mod, and I like the way it looks. I know the rings around the lens are important, but is there some way to enlarge it so it fills the screen? It would make viewing a lot cooler, as well as easier.

Aye, I love the large periscope view as well and would love to have it in U-jagd.

A much increased scope view is something I've also wanted, but that is not part of the U-jagd mission statement, I'm afraid. U-jagd 1-series only provides the tools - it makes no other changes. It is up to other GUI projects to sort out changes in scope view size, and I gladly permit full use of U-jagd tools to anyone who wishes to implement them into their own projects, as OLC has done so brilliantly.

Enlarging the rings is a simple matter of opening them with a capable image editor, such as photoshop or Gimp, and resizing the images. You of course then have to note the new dimensions and edit the relevant Pos entries in the menu_1024_768 file accordingly. Einfach!

But this will not greatly change the basic scope view and magnfiication effect(although you may improve the field of view through it). Already the U-jagd 1.3 field of view is vastly increased from the earliest versions!

To change the original scope view in the way that OLC did with the Obs scope and Werner SObe has with SH4 is a different project that opens up different issues. If you wish to have a much bigger scope view, then you need to reorganise the entire GUI space to make room for it.

Then you need to edit your AOB finder images to fit the new scope.

It's certainly doable, and in fact it's something I have in my mind to do as my next project, but it'll be a lot of work.

So in the meantime, sorry.

Thanks for the apology, but I know you have a lot on your plate. Thanks for all the hard work.
