[ottos]

/////15.april.2010 edit//////
correct .dds path and add branch code for kind of Operation Soft.

DownLoad: http://www.mediafire.com/?zqhe2imqyv4

Combine version is place at another thread

///////////////////////
*Credits:
　Nomograph.dds Author is

　Chris /SH4 Metric Nomograph

　　----and also from his Readme
　　This mod is a derivative work.
　　Credit goes to Beery for the Real Fleet Boat mod and Hildofr for the Imperial nomograph and the changes to the menu_1024_768.ini file that allows the nomograph to display on the in-game map.
　　Credit is also due to Wazoo for his Silent Hunter 3 Nomograph. His horizontal nomograph gave me the scale information I needed to create this vertically oriented version.
　　-----

*description
　　For avoid annoying when TAImap goes mini size, move position from right to left.
　　For use until appearance of ironpython specialist :P

*Installation:
　- in case for Vanilla Game
　　Just add the files to their folders or use JSGME and activate the mod
　　(include file is just for xResolution=1260)

　- in case to use MOD which changes the file "data\Menu\pages\Page Default Hud.ini"
　　　1) use JSGME and activate The MOD which change the file "Page Default Hud.ini"
　　　2) execute "Page_Default_Hud_nomograph.exe"
　　　3) use JSGME and activate this mod (ignore JSGME's warning)

　　　 note:
　　　 if you change the MOD(change the files "Page Default Hud.ini" ) after execute "TAIMAP.exe"
　　　 YOU HAVE TO DO SAME STEPS ONCE AGAIN.

　　　note:
　　　nomograph.exe　do following steps
　　　-read SH5 path from registry
　　　-copy "Page Default Hud.ini" from SH5\data\Menu\Pages to this sub folder
　　　-read your using xResolution from %userprofile\SH5 folder
　　　-add lines for nomograph to copy file in this sub folder.

　　　note:
　　　if you feel hesitate to execute .exe file
　 　 get UWSC software http://www.uwsc.info/uwsc46.zip
　　　and use "Page_Default_Hud_nomograph.uws" in SRC folder.
　　 UWSC is free. but unfortunately, it does not contain English documents.


Free to use, all use is your own risk.
Anyone can arrange, restructure, etc. without my permission.

Have fun,

another nice mod but why not combine this with the other UI mod you just posted? They'd be great as a package!

Anyways thanks again!

[Ragtag]

Dude, i love you.
Thanks for sharing.

How does it look when the TAI map is smaller. I'm worried about clutter.

[Ragtag]

It's only visible with fullscreen TAI.

Oh that's good. I'll give it a go. Really miss having a nomograph.

EDIT: Thanks ottos

Can this be added to the Nav Map? The TAI has been missing a LOT of information that displays on the nav map and the Nav Map also has a much larger scale where the nomograph is really useful.

That would be better IMO.

Thank you pointed out. I agree with you one hundred percent.
So I wrote "For use until appearance of ironpython specialist :P"

I know this MOD is just Ad hoc methods.
But the section of Map Script seems too complex to edit for me.

I'll incorporate via scripting in my UI mods.

WOW that is the great news!
I have to say Thanks for your great effort.

incidentally say, if you have a time, could you investigate the method for the middle of difficulty from no map update to real time map update?
just an idea, display the mask filter for a while to use phython timer.

Best Regards,

Yes please add this to the Nav-map. That's where we need it, for interception of radio contacts. Please

[kylania]

Any luck getting this to work on the Nav Map?
