Torpedo Dials for Attack Peri & UZO for German Boats

[FLB Sale U999]

Hi all,



A small edition of this Mod for those who would prefer to have the TARGET SPEED Dial instead of the SPREAD ANGLE in this mod.

DCB asked me to make that, so maybe it could be also helpfull for other players which would like to set the target speed manually rather in the Peri and UZO then only on the TDC Map....


Screeny for better imagine:



The installation is easy, just copy&paste and replacing some Blocks...

Ok, here u go.

First Change in ur dials.cfg:

Add 2 Numbers to ur DialsNo=XX at the top of the File.

Then find this block ([DialXX] Numbers u have to find and change by urself):

[DialXX]
Name=Spread_angle; FLB Sale`s Torpedo Anzeigen, Torpedofächerwinkel Peri
Type=33; DIAL_SPREAD_ANGLE
Cmd=Set_spread_angle
Dial=0x2620B002
CrtVal=0x2620B001
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,180
RealVal=0,20; degrees
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes

and change it into this one:

[DialXX]
Name=Sol_Speed;Attack Peri
Type=28; DIAL_SOL_SPEED
Cmd=Set_TDC_target_speed
Dial=0x2620B002
CrtVal=0x2620B001
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=15,345
RealVal=0,55; knots
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes
SndStep=1
SndList=1,Menu.TDC.Speed,55

Next find this block:

[DialXX]
Name=Spread_angle; FLB Sale`s Torpedo Anzeigen, Torpedofächerwinkel UZO
Type=33; DIAL_SPREAD_ANGLE
Cmd=Set_spread_angle
Dial=0x2820B002
CrtVal=0x2820B001
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,180
RealVal=0,20; degrees
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes

and change it into this one:

[DialXX]
Name=Sol_Speed;UZO
Type=28; DIAL_SOL_SPEED
Cmd=Set_TDC_target_speed
Dial=0x2820B002
CrtVal=0x2820B001
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=15,345
RealVal=0,55; knots
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes
SndStep=1
SndList=1,Menu.TDC.Speed,55


and for last add these 2 new blocks at the end of that file and change the DialXX numbers:

[DialXX]
Name=Sol_Torp_Speed; FLB Sale`s Torpedo Anzeigen, Torpgeschwindigkeit Peri
Type=17; DIAL_TORP_SPEED
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x2620B004
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; knots
Circular=Yes

[DialXX]
Name=Sol_Torp_Speed; FLB Sale`s Torpedo Anzeigen, Torpgeschwindigkeit UZO
Type=17; DIAL_TORP_SPEED
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x2820B004
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; knots
Circular=Yes

Save that file and now open ur menu_1024_768.ini.

Find in ur ini these Blocks in ur Attack Peri Sektion (G26 IXXX):
U have to renumber maybe the IXXX Numbers!!! I just took my ones, but u have to look which numbers u have there and renumber them if it is needed...

Should work, testet it and it works.

Have fun, greetings Sale

[keltos01]

excellent ! will try it right away

Do you think I might add it to my japanese sub mods, crediting you for it off course ?

[Carotio]

Hi, I was wondering, if it would be possible to fix these options elsewhere?
I mean so that the notebook is visible again. To be more precise, I mean like this:

[Carotio]

I didn't get any response to my request, hmm...

Well, so I allowed myself to create a modified version, I only lack to find out how to put in the extra dial in the center, ti the target speed dial.

Anyway for now it looks like this:

[Sailor Steve]

Carotio, I would have responed but I still can't get the U-boat version yet. Still, I like where you've put them. I like seeing the clipboard too.

Are they permanent, or 'pop-up'?

They are permanent, but tied to the torpedo fire panel like Sale originally did it, so if you click to remove that they will slide to the right.

[keltos01]

great mod ! when I think that at first I couldn't even find the attack map, till I asked the forum.....

[Carotio]

Well, here's the general plan of what I want to do:




And this is where I am stock for the moment:




Does anybody know, which line in menu_1024_768.ini controls, what stays on top and what goes underneath?
I have been looking in the tutorial here on subsim:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111832
but I'm still uncertain, what it is to look for.

[Carotio]

well, I just played a little more with the ini. ti the dds file in the background and its position in menu.ini, and I think I have figured it out now...
It just had to point to the last ParentID

DOH!

Now, I just have to position it back to where it should be.
Then replace the other dial, try and add that manual/auto button,
and if possible, I would like to add a small button too to point to the Q button command, ti the open/close torpedo doors.

[Carotio]

Little update, this is how my attack scope and uzo look like now:

[keltos01]

looks good !
do you think there is a way to have more (smaller) firing buttons on the pannel, because I'll soon need 6 front and 2 aft...

when do you post it for download?

If you are mentionned in the note accompanying my IJN sub mod and in a credits file, could I add it to my work so as to have a more complete mod ?

keltos

Maybe, but it would require both a rework of the periscop.dds and the menu.ini, some major rework, I would say. But it should be possible. Not that I plan to do it though. If you wanna rework my rework later, then fine with me...

When? When it's ready... 2 more items I wanna (try) add and 1 to replace.

For my sake, sure you can use it, though original credits must be given to FLB_Sale_U999 too

[keltos01]

Carotio, thanks

I try not to forget anyone in the credits file - hope I didn't at least.

I have run into a minor problem.

On this screen, you have the button for choosing manual or auto tdc:

However, a search in dials.cfg for the ItemID 0x3B1B0000 didn't help me. Technically, it ain't a dial anyway, so it probably is located in another file somewhere.
The question is: where?
Does anybody know?

Working with this, I have tried to study the logic of dials.cfg vs menu.ini, but it came to a stop, when trying to add this button. And I want it. I have succesfully added a button on the right location, but I can't make it work untill there is a controller for it.

And then to speak about a button for open-close torpedo doors too...

Then if I remember correctly, you can assign the ID of the button to the command in commands.cfg.
Latemail used this solution for "open/close torpedo tube" & "rudder amidship" buttons, I used the latter in the s-boot mod for SH3.
Not sure if it works here but it's always worth trying

So you're saying that I shouldn't have a menu group, just the check box!? :hmm:

And this assigning of ID to commands.cfg, where do I write this? In menu.ini or dials.cfg or where?
