[REL]Sjizzle's - Charts for NewUIs ByTheDarkWraith

[Fifi]

Hum...how do you use this one ingame?

[Sjizzle]

Fifi download this book from here i didnt had time to read it till now ...
now i have some time and i will read that book
and with today's update i have added charts category

[Bathrone]

Sjizzle you sir a wizard

This is great

Version control would help. Any number in your mod directory name, just so we can manage which version we have and know what version youve released.

This brings allot of depth (aha the pun!) having charts like this available

Good

A few remarks:

• naming your releases with version numbers would help us in keeping our charts updated
  
  
• I have the following suggestions for chart/categories naming and grouping:
  
  
  • Grouped under the category Maps
    Minefields and Anti-submarine Nets Map instead of Sperrnetze
    
    
  • Grouped under the category Weather Charts
    Beaufort and Douglas Scales instead of beaufortdouglas
    Beaufort Scale with Pics instead of beaufortpics
    
    
  • Grouped under the category Plotting Tools
    Maneuvering Board instead of maneuvering-board
    Timepiece Board or Timekeeper Board instead of Bearing Times Chart
    
    
  • Grouped under the category Target Data Assessment Charts
    AoB Assessment Chart instead of AOB
    Range Assessment Chart instead of Range Chart
    Speed Assessment Table instead of Speed Chart
    
    
  • Grouped under the category Torpedo Settings Charts
    Safe Torpedo Depths Table instead of Torpedo Depth chart
    90 deg Torpedo Bearings Table instead of 7. Torpedo strait-run chart
    
    
  • Grouped under the category Other Charts and Tables
    Trigonometric Table instead of sincosine
  
  
• If you prefer, you can use progressive numbers or letters for category/charts names sorting, i.e: "I. Maps", "II. Weather Charts", etc.
  
  
• As far as I know, the names of TDW cfg files don't need to follow chart categories naming; i.e. the same file can contain charts assigned to different categories
  
  
• If you like my categories system, you could make New UI's default charts to follow them: i.e. change TDW's "Shipping" category to "Maps", assign the flag recognition manual to the "Target Data Assessment Charts" category. Personally, I would also rename TDW's "Speed conversions" category into a more generalist "Conversion Tables".
  
  
• Two other handy tools that you should add to your mod are the simultaneous hits slide ruler by sublynx, and the AoB slide ruler by stoianm. If you want, I can give the latter a proper look, to fit the rest of the charts. Use permission for it shouldn't be a problem
  
  
  
  
• Some cool posters of the units in service with main WWII navies are found at the following link:

  Imo they would make a nice, though dispensable, addition to your mod. Again, if you like them, I can give them an old Kriegsmarine paper look

My pleasure. Let me know if you need for my help with some of the new charts I have suggested. 50 slots should give us plenty of space for them, and a rational category sorting system will help us not getting lost among them

P.S: another nice addition would be a chart helping us to recognize ship recognition categories (funnels, bow and stern shapes, islands and superstructure types, etc)

Good, but ship silhouettes are too clean: if you use photoshop, try overlaying them with the same texture used for the background (or better use a lesser dirty background), and play with its opacity and blending methods.

P.S.

Angle of Bow - Apect Ratio Calculation Table (from an idea by stoianm, graphically reworked by me):



See this post and the linked video turorial for instructions on its use. If like you it, you can add it to your collection. Just give stoianm credit

That would be correct. You can name the files anything you want - they just have to start with UserChart and the extension must be .TDW. The user chart file can contain any mixture/number of categories
