[REL] Ui-Boat V5.xx

[Stormfly]

Thanks a lot, look and feel is very admospheric, i like it

also have some minor problems with it, why is the white crosshair visible in 3d free roaming, i thought the majority would hate this nub shooter cross

entering the attack scope will auto rise the OBS scope.

would be nice if windows opened via new officers panel would have the old "X" for closing them.

any chance for adding a german menue.txt ?

Very, very nice work Reaper7.

[Ragtag]

Holy crap, this looks stunning now. Definatly trying this one out

[rascal101]

Very nice Mod - clashes with a few others - but nothing serious as yet - a couple of issues - for some reason since installing this mod my observation scope keeps rising by itself - I lower it then go do something - then I go to outside camera and its up halfway - seems if I do anything any where on the sub using the mousewheel this scope just raises

Also Cant find the dept under keel whihc is a bit of a boar when your crash diving - a very important tool but seems to be missing

Best Regards

You'll find those orders under Navigator, there one of 3 for getting time and range to end of plotted course.
Time to end is the time to complete the current plot at current speed.
Range to end is the total distance to the last waypoint.

Sorry this Mod is not compatiable with TDW UI, nearlly all files and scripts are conflicting .

Any chance for an Hi Res version?

This is a HiRes version. Its being built from scratch to achiev max results at 1080P (1920x1080) or (1920x1200).
Any resolutions over this and thing's start to get out of position and shrink below recommended levels.
While thats a higher resolution your playing at, the way stock SH5 is built at 1024x768 and uses scalling to enlarge items for larger resolutions you only end up with blurry graphics at very high resolutions.
I could of went the stock method at the begining of this Mod but took the decission to go the non scalling and sharper graphics method with this Mod.
Thrust me its worth setting SH5 to 1080P levels with this Mod to get the sharpest and best positioning.

Will look into the Obs scope rising issue. Thanks for heads up.
If anyone wants to do a german menu.txt send it in for inclusion.

Will sort out the scope issue . As for Dept under keel, you'll find that under the Navigator orders.

[reaper7]

Ok I've been testing the Obs scope and can't recreate it rising by itself.
Is everyone having this Issue or just some . Maybe the wrong Obs script made it into the packaged mod.
I'll pack up the current Obs script to see if that sorts out the issue just in case thats the problem. Will post here when done.


EDIT: Try this - http://rapidshare.com/files/41100915...pe_Fix.7z.html

[rascal101]

Try lowering it by hand - then go to the conning tower and use the UZO for a minute or two - if you have the problem when you drop the UZO and look at the Observation scope it should have risen up abot half way


Also I still cant find the dept under keel order via navigator am I missing something

[supposedtobeworking]

do you need to have patch 1.2 installed for this to work properly? would it work with patch 1.1?

Yes, it should work with Patch 1.1

I fervently hope that the Obs. periscope bug (raising when not in use) has been fixed. You didn't mention anything about that. As things stand, I still just ignore the Obs. Periscope to circumvent the problem.

Hopefully its fixed, I haven't been able to reproduce it since I made my current fixes.

The man believes the problem to be fixed. If you read through R7's posts above (or below, depending on how the page loads) you will see info on fixes/changes.

[reaper7]

Thanks nodlew, Yes I belive it to be fixed - as I haven't had it occur to me since removing un-needed Fully_Raise_Obs_scope_commands.
But then I didn't have the problem with the obs rising. Except when I created a new campaign and the Training mission at the start, then it started to raise itself.
But once I reloaded my save it was gone again. I think it may have been a modsoup issue due to installing while on patrol.

[nodlew]

I'd like to know where that command is so I can delete it and see if it fixes the Obs. Periscope for my V1.0 while I wait for version 1.X.


Aside: Since I got promoted, I'm good-looking again. While I was a Sound Dude I had completely lost my mojo. Fat and bald. Now I'm my old self again.

edit--found the relevant line in the obs. periscope.py and removing the command to "Rise_whole_obs_periscope" has indeed corrected the problem. Hooray! Your problem is fixed sir. And now I can try out the Attack Disk and the fancy Obs. Peri. Compass.
