Advice(s) on menu_1024x768.ini please

[ichso]

Finally the control dials for the sub are working as they should.

There are still a few problems I wanted to point out by some screenshots but [ctrl]+F11 doesn't work anymore, no screenshots saved in my installation directory

One big problem is also still there which I don't understand yet:
The TDC controls are totally messed up, about 66% unfunctional -.-
I didn't touch any of them when deleting the OLC Gui dials. The TDC stuff is all still there but some things are at wrong places and some aren't clickable.
Numberings in the G3F section are continuous and in the dials.cfg also.
No error messages pop up while loading the game, also.

And now I can't even take screenshots to show what I mean

Have you tried Ctrl/PrtScr? Since the res fix (which IIRC you're using) disabled my F10/11/12 keys I accidentally discovered that Ctrl/PrtScr works for screenshots, although it put them into tga format (but no big deal to convert).

Great work btw ... sounds like you're making good progress

Thanks, that I didn't know

So here are some images of what is working right now and what not.
At first, how the MFD dials are lined up. The 260m and 25m are still switchable and in the same spot as before, the kompass is moved a little bit upwards, the speed and rudder dials are also seperated. Rudder dial sliding vertically from the upper right corner, the depth dials too (as in the original MFD). The other 2 dials are lined up at the right side of the screen and slide in horizontally.






At the rudder you can see that the little open spot to see a piece of the compass doesn't show the actual direction yet. If I don't figure out how to make it working again, I'm going to just use the 'closed' rudder dial.

Here now some broken things:



Nothing major I think but still irritating as I didn't touch any of the TDC related stuff in this file. The only thing I had to do was renumbering of the items because I deleted the OLC dials somewhere in between (where I found them) and added the MFD stuff at the very end of the section.

What also is broken atm:
- Range&AOB Finder (middle wheel not clickable)
- some of the TDC controls still work, although they look as they don't.
- and finally the Attack Disc shows up, but isn't clickable anymore.

I also had to renumber some stuff in the dials.cfg, but I didn't delete anything there, that was related to none-dial stuff. I also checked the ItemIDs showing up in this file and checked whether they are still linked against the according items in the menu_...ini.

So to summon up: some work is still left to do, no time to work on over the weekend, but hopefully everything will be completed by the middle of next week.

Oppinions about the placement of the MFD dials are also welcome

Thanks for listening in, i.

Oh, good, glad the screenshot thing worked.

The dial placement looks great. I remember that the little compass window in the rudder indicator did not work anyway with MFD, at least in its earlier version.

I wish I could suggest something about the so far not-working TDC things, but no bright ideas (or any at all).

Hm, OLC just released his ubermod which includes some more little changes to the menu layout. I download this and make the MFD compatible with this one, makes more sense

Okay, maybe there was some issue with that, right. I don't know anymore ^^.

The mod I still have here is the MFD compatible with GWX 1.03. Don't know whether there was a newer version.

I'll see next week, now I'm gonna visit my girlfriend home in port for the weekend

From what i recall it didn't work with the 1.02 version anyway. I don't recall if it was fixed for the 1.03 ver but from what you're seeing, I guess not.

Have a nice weekend
