TWOS Map questions

pcgameman · 02-08-20, 05:10 AM

Hi,

I have the following map questions and would appreciate it if anyone can advise:

1. Is there a way of having darker longitude and latitude lines as they are so faint pls?

2. Re map patrol grids (eg AN26 etc). Is there a way to have clearer letters and numbers pls?

3. Re the tools in the bottom left part of the map (the protractor, ruler etc). Is there a way of them not showing pls?

4. RE the changing of the whole map color when time changes from day to night. Is there a way of having the map color always displayed as if it is during the day, as the map color at night is too light?

5 Darker / Bolder colors for latitude and longitude numbers pls?

Thanks in advance

They can not be any darker because they are already set to full black by default, but you can edit their colors using Generic Patcher application. (TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p - Map colors section)

For now no, but I'm working on those.

Yes, you should use options file editor viewer (aka OFEV)...

I have a map related questio,too: in SH 3, when you get a contact report, a square will appear on the map at the contact's current location and, which is crucial, the approximate heading and speed of the ship, so you can plot an interception.

I've noticed that in SH5/TwoS (never played vanilla) those squares will still pop up from time to time, but without showing any information regarding the target's heading and speed. So there's no way to plot an intercept course. Is that correct? Or am I missing something?

Of course it is possible. All necessary contacts information are shown in you captains log. Nearby contacts will also be shown in your message box and ships journal as well...Use range filter in upper right corner to adjust useful contacts reports range to your liking (800 km by default).

In respect of the mod mentioned, I installed it with JSGME, however it offered no options in choice of map (supposedly choice of 4) and though installed it did nothing to change current TWOS set map at all.

I seem to remember previously that there was a choice under data file.
