[REL] Goodbye Pac-Man

Goodbye Pac-Man v1.01 for Silent Hunter 5 v1.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v1.01 changes/fixes:

- corrected problem where map color would become light blue when near enemy escorts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This simple mod removes those 'Pac-Man' shapes showing real-time enemy escort sonar and visual ranges on the game map when playing with No Map Update unchecked (false) in the realism options menu. U-boat radar/sonar range and direction contact lines are still activated. I feel this is a nice compromise for those who do not want the extreme cheat of those Pac-Man range circles, but still want general range and direction of enemy escorts that are detected by U-boat visual, sonar, and radar to be displayed on the map.

Seems like the map color changes to a lighter blue when near enemy escorts. I'll take a look.

Ok. I am currently working to stop the map changing color to light blue when close to escorts. Should be fixed soon.

Don't delete the whole pixel shader content, a pixel shader file must returned a float4 color value for each pixel which is to be rendered on the screen

Only set the circle.z value to zero in SensorVisual.fx
Code:
float insidecircle = step(length(texC.xy*texsize.xy - circle.xy), 0  /*circle.z*/);
and circle.z + circle.w in SensoSonar.fx
Code:
float inside = step(radius,0 /*circle.z*/) * step(0 /*circle.w*/, radius);

Seeadler, thanks for the tip. I hadn't realized that deleting the whole shader would cause the map color problem. I had already fixed the shader problem a slightly different way in v1.01 before I saw your post, but got the same end result.
