Wow... you Guys were absolutely amazing ! Many Thanks for the Dials and for your work !!

Fritz Eger · 03-05-10, 06:09 AM

This looks fantastic but i can't seem to enable it via JSGME. The other mod works fine (the one with the three dials) but this won't enable. Help please

excellent work! THANKS!

BTW, now, when you figured out the full UI (other thread), do you think you could fix the bug with the message pad (dials with both states but with message pad thingy bug)?

The full UI is too buggy for now, but having fully functional 3 dual-state dials would be perfect.

I could. Are you saying you like the Ubisoft UI and not the new UI I posted (SH4 style)? If you do like the Ubisoft UI then yes, I could look into fixing the bug with the message pad using the 3 dials.

Ubisoft UI and your 3 dails would be perfect! Many people do not like old SH4 UI.

Please fix your UI and make and complete it. Would be great!

thx

no, I don't like the Ubisoft "new" UI, it's a crap; but the imported full SH4 UI at current state is to cranky, while adding just 3 fully functional bug-free dual-state dials would be perfect for now until you guys smooth out the full SH4 interface.

for the meantime, 3 dials would add excellent sub maneuvering capability while leaving the new Ubi UI still fully functional (or disfunctional, haha)...until the SH4 UI is polished up.

Absolutely appreciate your work! You (and others) will make this sim eventually playable. Thanks again.

just out of curiosity, how is the new SH4 UI style too cranky? I've posted the known bugs and am working on them now.

as soon as I fix the known bugs in the new UI I'll come back to the 3 dials and work on them.

..I should've said "too buggy" or stil too disfunctional rather then "cranky" I guess, sorry. I tried it this morning, it lacks too much of functionality for now. I however didn't get CTD since I avoided the known bugs.

I think at current state 3 bug free dials would be the best solution. I'll be however missing the "depth under keel" from SH4 interface, but still...3 dials for now.

BTW, the UBI developer's post at this site indicates that SH4 interface should be portable OK, so keep up good work! With SH4 interface the game would be probably enjoyable. Thanks!

Well, it looks like TheDarkWraith and UrPeaceKeeper have become SH5's first mod team! Congratulations guys!

I would like to say one thing though. People have been talking about the 'stupid' devs, for leaving all this old stuff in. Has it occured to anyone that maybe they did that on purpose? They did say it would be easier for modders to do their work.

And that is my point. They put this in to help. They still deserve praise, not scorn.
