[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC - Page 98

Thank you for fixing the Sonar Station View.

Any chance of getting "Esitmate Range" and "Precise Range" to Target buttons added to the UI?

Thanks!

No, I see that now that should be fine.

Not sure it's anything to do with the mod, but noticed a large slowdown now after coming out of high TC and some graphical anomalies... as you turn your head in the bridge the lighting on the sea disappears all of a sudden. Also standing at the aft end of the bridge and turing your head you can see occasional flashes of crewmen floating above the stern area of the sub.

wouldn't think it being the mod as it's only doing 2D rendering. What video card are you using and how much memory does it have? How much system memory do you have?

added a button to the nav map that will control the showing of the TDC dials on it. As you can see the TDC dials will 'layout' according to the TDC mode user has selected (just like in the UZO, attack, and obs views)

its a 1GB Ati 4670 with 2GB system memory. Although it's a fairly old card it's been running everything fine so far. What I'll do is try the same mission with the previous version of the mod to see what happens, Thanks.

that seems more than adequate. Who knows. I haven't experienced that anomoly yet but I have an nVidia GTX 280.

They are in the sonar officer's orders under hydrophone or sonar I believe.

Just tried the stadimeter again in UZO. Target was 8000m away. Took a stadimeter reading and got 8205 and 7910 on the tries. Seems to be working good

Fixed the problem of the notepad being hidden by the SH3/4 dials when you're in that UI mode.

Nobody has commented about the officer's orders and order bar categories flashing twice on selection....don't like it? I thought it was pretty cool feedback letting you know it was doing something.

I think it's a very nice feature. Just put my crew through hell to test the new "injured icons" they work really well too !!

Tried the same PQ-17 mission on v2.00 of the mod the graphic problems were indeed still there, must be stock issues. I didn't think it slowed down much if at all this time after coming out of high TC though.

going to add notepad entries for when they change state (healthy, wounded, and dead) and I think I'll make them flash 3 times when they change state to grab your attention to it.

now that we have notepads available for the UZO, attack, and Obs scopes we are also running out of screen real estate for everything, especially when TDC dials are involved. To help alleviate the Gyroangle being in the way of the notepads in the scopes I've made it draggable so you can reposition it out of the way

What do you think about integrating all TDC modes in one mode?
Is it possible?
OFF/MIN/FULL - no dials / minimal / full dials

(Paint.NET)

yes it is possible. It will be a lot of work for me to do though

I like the idea because then I can take items related to TDC out of the options file

very nice work, dude!!!

someone posed an interesting question. In v2.1.0 I've disabled incoming radio messages if you are submerged (they don't get added to your messagebox but the game's log still adds them so you'll see them in the captain's log - hard coded in C++ code). Were the subs able to receive radio messages down to a certain depth? Or did they have to be surfaced as I've modeled it?
