May 23rd, 2015. CAWS 1.61.
- a typo corrected from dials.cfg
- a makman94 modified cameras.dat for players who use the mod with a 1366x768 screen
- a couple of mostly makman94 modified tga's for use with 1366x768 screen




The mod is a widescreen 1360x768 version of Charts Addon 1.4. It is meant for Widescreen Magui, but might work with other SH3 versions of similar screen proportions as well. I've only playtested the mod for WS MaGui+NYGM 3.6F, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work in a different setup.The mod is untested in career mode, so there likely are some glitches, that I'll try to fix if absolutely necessary and I happen to have the time. Installation through JSGME.

Info on the previous 1024x768 versions of Charts Addon:

New compared to Charts Addon 1.4. for MaGui F:

- Leitender's Anschütz compass added
- Maneuvering board made bigger
- added a chart that shows how to use the attack disc for multiplication
- replaced Hitman's Gegnerfahrttafel with a speed chart made by LGN1
- added a chart that aids in distinguishing between cloud types

Special thanks regarding this newest version to makman94 (Widescreen Magui), Leitender (Anschütz compass) and LGN1 for the time/length/speed chart.

Here's a clip that shows a couple of slides and Leitender's magnificent compass:



Thanks Leitender for giving the permission to use your compass here! It really is a beauty Hopefully widescreen players that hesitate editing menu_1024_768.ini will give your compass a try through JSGME, and then start experimenting with finetuning the game themselves

Thanks BigWalleye! Kind of crucial info

Nice work

Nice job. A boon to all the widescreenies (which these days is probably most SubSimmers).

BTW, I still get Hitman's Gegnerfahrttafel, and no new speed chart. Am I just missing it? I'm fine with Hitman's chart, but curious to see the new one.

That's curious. Do you see the speed table in the Layout folder? I named the new table gegnerfahrt.tga, just like the old table by Hitman. I'm on my phone right now but I'll have a look at this when I get to my laptop.

hi, this thing is great!

i made an alternative version of optional TMT wich suport and correct the errors, and let you play over gwx3 + magui ws 3.4.

i get better recono charts (incluiding l/h), add speedtable, some little stuf, retire old compass. torpedo clasical tables.

but i have 3 problems.
1) wish to get a bigger new compass, how i can get it 25 or 40% bigger? i dont know if it can work propiety with simple scaling.
2) i have 2 errors in late loading mision screen with out any trouble in the game, it gets 2 index. i dont found that index in menu file. What should i do to fix it.
3) dr3 sliderule have and issue, marker-dial dont move. Its not a big deal, i was plaing any way good but could be interesant to fit it too.

i loaded a version in other thead, but i was fixing more things so if someone can help me i can upload today the more complete version.

Hi, Aquelarrefox
The pointer: to be rotated, you must switch the TDC to Salvo mode.

thanks, i will try to be sure its working. in caws folder there should be a note saying it. This weel is great!

Then there are only 2 problem to solve.
Tycho, you know about modding stuff. To get a bigger compass (with the new b/W compass). I should scalate raster for ini file or i shoud rezise the tga, get the size in ini and change the center of rotation pos (i dont know how asignate it yet).

[Tycho]

If you resize a graphic element, then you must write the right size in the menu_.ini item for this graphic, and the proper position.
Pos=582,746,460,460
The first two digits are position, the second two are resolution.
In your case, may need this to be done not only for the graphic element item, but for some menu groups above that.You need to track ItemID and ParentID for that.
