If you don't mind I would like to do the integration myself. Currently in the process of doing a number of changes to OM and OMEGU that would require you to do it all over again after release.

@Lurker... for sure mate, I'll try to only work inside the german pages so it should be compatible with the us side too (I mean unchanged). I will need to create 3 versions (quite similar in fact) for 3 tube/5 tube/6 tube subs. And I'll make 2 versions of texture files, low rez for 1024x768 and a high rez one for 1600x1200. The first phase only changes the Ap, Op and Uzo pages and only uses new images so anyone can copy/paste for preety much any mod, and even vanilla. The second phase includes changes to the layout page, orders bar and commands file (I'm too used to SH3 control scheme, so I'll make 2 variants of controls). Third phase is... not very certain and includes a remake of the TDC screen, preety similar to what Mikhayl did in his ACM.


@Makman: Pics at the end of this week when I get back home. They'll be 3d-program pics, not game pics.

integrated it into my RC1 version of OMEGU v210, as you can see I was able to keep FLBs torp dials

Was that made with my menu file info? coool BTW, you've forgot to move a few items, I can still see the Angle on Bow text. Check out the steps up, I've made a perfect version but I'm not home to send it to you
One thing we'll really need is having the ship lengths in the manual for the fixed wire method. I've already made a mod for TMO that changed the max speed String into a length value. It's here and also has tables for the ships in TMO as an excel chart. I could play without any issues so the technique is safe http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153143. Actually a better string would be for example "MaxSpeed= 155 Max 35kts". Should fit inside the manual.
The AOBF is useless without ship lengths so, until I finish my bloody interface (which will have a very different AOBF) maybe you can merge this idea to into OM. Would save me a whole bunch of time

Using the Menu_1024x768.ini from post# 10 and integrated into the .ini in OMEGU. Aware of the importance of the lengths of the ships and working it into the Names.cfg files now ( about 50% done on 220 entries )


Was just looking at this

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153143

It's a good idea and will work it into OM

I also added lengths in the Names.cfg file, before making that mod, but it messed up the Captain's log. I advice against it. Changing the individual ship cfg files seems safer.

Roger your last,

Will use this

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153143

FYI

"I can still see the Angle on Bow text"

Using your .ini from post# 10 on top of the original AOBF, see the same result.

I might've forgotten to do this part... I was working blind from this very laptop which can't play sh4...

I guess it's time to move all of these screwy items out of the way. For the following items, simply move them out of the screen by inputing a value of 2000 for their X offset (you could also comment out their Zone lines, but if they are parented in any way, it will cause a CTD, changing the offset is much safer):

[G26 I90]
[G26 I91]
[G26 I93]
[G26 I94]
[G26 I95]
[G26 I96]
[G26 I97]

for example:
[G26 I90]
Name=Angle on bow val
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x260C0053
ParentID=0x260C0000
Pos=190,-212,70,16
Zone= 929 527 70 16 0 1 0x260C0000 0.655172 -0.768116 0x260C0053 0 0 2000 0
Color=0x111111FF
Font=5
Text=0
TextFlags=0x6

This will move all of these items out of the screen.

That works however the word "angle on the bow" is still on the lower left corner, but the number value that was on the lower right is now gone

Right now I bet you wish you had my menu.ini file. It has huge comments separating each notepad page . The Angle on bow label should be one of those items. Maybe I89?

hmm, no, that's the big invisible group that holds all the items. If you change that, the wheel will change too. As I said I don't have SH4 here so I can't be much help. But... here's an idea...
Some items have a Text=xxx line. If it's Text=0, then that item is hardcoded (for example, the AOB value). But one of them (or more) should have something like Text=2235. Go to the menu.txt file and search for that number. One of them should show xxx=ANGLE ON BOW. That's the item you're looking for.
