[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[Gammel]

Damn, not yet Kameraden.
After everything was working fine wirh the charts and the book
i fired up tghe game again and no i have this shxt



I deleted all the files you told me - like i9 sayd after that the first start everything was fine.

That "new Menus" on the screen can not be shut down and when i start a single mission came crashes now.


EDIT i disabled the mod and reactivated it no its gone - hope it never come back!

You have a new version ready btw? Would be a good point to upgrade cause its relative low in my load order and i have to disable many mods before.

[Gammel]

Hehe there is it again but i found out it has something to to with my edits on the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file. Back to the stock one problem is gone.

Did the patching (both entries). The result is the following: Still cannot change the mast heigth manually by scrolling the mousewheel. However, when identifying a ship, a mast height is put into the display automatically.

Is that the intended result of the patch?

Thank you and best regards,

i mean the map grind chart what i made cos they doesn't fit for each screen resolution... if we can make to be resize only that chart will be awesome

Yes there is. Though I hate 'hard-coding' things so I made this definable in the user chart file

from a new version of a userchart file:

; User Charts
; Category= the category where the chart will fall under (can be anything!) - if left blank will default to Default category
; Name= specifies the name to be shown in the charts listbox
; Filename= name of the DDS file of the chart (including .dds extension!) - user charts can ONLY be DDS files!
; Size= if you specify -1 then the DLL will get the size needed (width and/or height) from the image itself else you can specify custom size for the chart (image)
; Position= specifies the position on screen relative to upper left corner of game screen
; Draggable= valid values are 1 (yes) or 0 (no). If a 1 then you will be able to drag the chart anywhere on screen
; ToolTip= the tooltip displayed when the mouse is placed over the visible chart (image)
; Sizeable= valid values are 1 (yes) or 0 (no). If a 1 then you will be able to resize the chart by scrolling the mousewheel
; max number of charts that can be defined is 20. Anything after 20 will be ignored!
; [ENDCHART] must be the last line in the file!

[Chart]
Category=Speed conversions
Name=Knots in meters per minute
Filename=TabelleMin_English.dds
Size=-1,-1
Position=40,20
Draggable=1
ToolTip=conversion chart for knots in meters per minute
Sizeable=1

[Chart]
Category=Speed conversions
Name=Knots in kilometers per hour
Filename=TabelleStd_English.dds
Size=-1,-1
Position=60,20
Draggable=1
ToolTip=conversion chart for knots in kilometers per hour
Sizeable=1

[ENDCHART]

Notice the new entry: Sizeable=

If set to 1 then the chart is sizeable my moving the mouse into it and using the mousewheel to either increase it's size or decrease it's size

Note: if you resize the chart using the mousewheel it's size WILL NOT be saved when you exit the game or return to the main menu.

This will be available in test version 17 of v7.5.0

Never edit the user options file by hand. Use the included OptionsFileEditorViewer found in \data\Applications to edit the options file

[THE_MASK]

A couple of things that annoy the hell out of me .
I have the officers panel hidden unless moused over which is great . However the officer category sub panels should be hidden as well maybe .
Also the hydrophone should automatically go back to normal sweep when I surface the sub maybe .

Very cool - wasnt aware of that programms.

I have the latest zipped version of TDW's O.F.E.V. 1_0_32_0.

When I start the exe it says 'cfg file missing' 'building cfg file' re-run the application.

If the app can't find it's config file it will say this. This is normal and expected behavior. Once it builds a config file and it can find it you won't see this message again.

[TheDarkWraith]

This new Sizeable= option in the user charts file I added some more to it. Besides being able to use the mousewheel to increase/decrease it's size you can also grab any of the borders or corners and drag them to the size wanted

fore needle pointing down = negative fore deflection = diving position
fore needle pointing up = positive fore deflection = surfacing position

conversely:

aft needle pointing down = positive aft deflection = diving position
aft needle pointing up = negative aft deflection = surfacing position

In other words: move both needles to the black scale (down) for diving, move them to the red scale (up) for surfacing. This is exactly how stock 3d diveplane gauges (in command room) work, and how UI diveplane dials should be modelled

I verified this is how the stock game handles the diveplanes and have adjusted the mod to reflect this. Will be available starting with v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1

As I posted earlier (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11198 and http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11204) this has been added to v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1



v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?iu7d68q29ap3eu5

Extract. Copy the folder to v7.5.0 test version 16's main folder letting it overwrite all files it needs to

NOTE: you need v7.5.0 test version 16 first! It's available here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ostcount=11139

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)
- removed old sextant. Added a new sextant to the game. The sextant is used by calling up the Sextant window from the Navigator's order bar. This requires the Stadimeter being used as sextant patch to be enabled in the Generic Patcher. To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled
- fixed bug of after using Sextant none of the order bars would be visible and camera zoom was 'zoomed'
- fixed bug of tutorials always showing corrupt in the main menu
- added a new parameter to the user chart files: Sizeable=. If this value is 1 then the chart is sizeable by using the mousewheel, dragging a corner, or dragging a side. NOTE: the chart's size will NOT be saved and will be restored to original size at game end or exit to main menu

You should be able to change the mast height manually using the mousewheel. If you can't there is a problem somewhere. I verified I was able to change the mast height using the mousewheel (though I noticed a problem with the mast height patch - it overrides whatever you set the mast height to with the mousewheel - I'll have to fix that patch)

What command is associated with that key (Z)? Can you post the entry from the commands.cfg file for it?

I'm almost 100% certain there is a user option for the 'problem' with the officer category sub panels you speak of.

I can add a new user option to have the sonarman go back to normal sweep when the sub is surfaced
