Also I read that windowed mode has a minimum resolution I think of 1400x900 and if your desktop does not go over this you can't access the editor. (Lots of laptops don't go above this resolution so they can't access the editior). Again not sure what the actual minimum resolution is.

My Desktop is 1680x1050. The windowed mode i was using when trying this was 1024x768.

But, it seems to be working now. Go figure.

You the man thank you, thank you.

You can shut the dials off by hitting the period/del key in number pad.

Outstanding Dark. Having the dials may grow on me. Thanks for putting in the extra effort to customize to our own likings. You didn't have to do that.

I run this one at 1920x1080 - works just fine.

If run in windowed mode and found you can pause and switch to another pgm by Alt+Tab.
TheDarkWraith - it can't be said too many times:
Your work is truly what saved the start up of SH-5!! Today I can't even imagine what it would be like without it.
Thanks and keep up the tremendous work.

Thanks and regards

Updated to the latest - as always thanks!

Any chance of getting just the three dials and a salvo spread dial configured?

you could use the menu editor on the mod and move the groups associated with the right hand side dials and the left hand side dials (for track runners) off the screen thus leaving you with only the salvo spread dial.

next version should include Reaper7's rec manual update.

Cheers DarkWraith! Fantastic!

Any plans to combine this one with your new UI mod (Buttons from sh4)?

Been using this since 1.0 and like it a lot.

My only complaint is that the location the text message box. Being a bit wider, and being able to show 4 lines of text would be perfect.

Every mission I have to raise the height (which isn't a biggy), but I can't seem to adjust the width to prevent messages from scrolling into another new line.

Other than that little nitpick, things work great.

Same here, I personally preferred it on top of the dials. Whatever you guys do, don't resize the message box or you'll get in trouble.

The TDC is amazing and the periscope view is excellent now that it's centered. My only request on that front would be to add a background to the dials, just for looks.

Anyway, fantastic work with everything DarkWraith, I wouldn't even try to play this game without your UI mods.

well if the general concensus is that everyone wants the message box back on top of the dials then I'll move it back. I can make the message box default to a bigger size (height and width) - just need to ensure that's what everyone wants.

it just occurred to me after re-reading this and looking at it that I did leave that dial out of the no TDC version. I will change that in the next release so that the torp spread angle is visible with the No TDC option.

I like it how it is in 1.3.1 actually. At first I preferred it over the dials, but now it rests comfortably in the negative space of the XO's input box.

Yeah, I like it there too. It seems the natural place to put it.
[edit] Also have to say, if I had to pick only one mod to play SHV with it would be this one. Thanks, Dark.
