Nomograph mods

Hi Everyone.

Before you say it I have searched, But I can't find a nomograph mod Wazoo's is mentioned but the page no exists...has it gone for good?

I've got GWX 1.3 so I'll need one for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't seem to have it...or am I going blind?

Check near the bottom of the tutorial. There are underlined links to the mods.

Depends which ones you want. The draggable and Horizontal links are still working but the link for the vertical Nomograph is broken.

The vertical nomograph took me a while to find recently, as it can't be downloaded from Paul's site above. In the end, I realised that it was included with 'Real U-Boat 1.45' which I downloaded ages ago (but don't use), so I picked it out of that

You can probably find it for download and do the same - if you need a hand let me know.

The draggable nomograph is certainly useful though, but I found it a bit of a hassle to move it about all the time and have just changed to the vertical one.

You should be able to get it from terrapin's site.

Please have a look at look at my mod home (sticky Venatore's Drive Through), you will find excactly what your looking for (page 6 "The Map").

Thank you very much everyone! I'm away at work at the moment but will download as soon as I'm back.

I had tried yours before, Venatore, but I found it hard to see all the marks I'd made on the map (plotted course, ruled lines, compass circles and so on) because the ocean was a different, darker set of colours, due to the brightness of the .tga you'd used (much darker than the original file if I remember correctly).

I'm sure there's a way to change the colour of the lines, but stock SH3 with your map mod didn't really work for me I'm afraid. The one I pulled from RUb 1.45 has a slightly cleaned-up standard map with the vertical nomograph, so for now I'm using that instead.

Nevertheless, good job on your Drive Through thread - very useful, thanks!

I just found the same thing, couldn't see any of the lines I plotted on the map. Going back to the original for now.

just for clarification:
the vertical nomograph is on the right side of my screen? its an overlay for the map?
and no matter how i pull the map around or zoom it in and out, it always stays there, same place, same size, so i can use it whenever im in mapview?

and the horizontal dragable thing is like one of the tools that gwx hides on top of the screen, in the right corner? so i can pull it to the map like a ruler tool or something?

if im correct im gunne look for that vertical nomograph ! only read about it a few days ago, and it sounds great!

Turm · 04-01-07, 04:18 PM

Yes, you are correct on both counts with the vertical and draggable nomographs.

The draggable one has the slight disadvantage that you can't plot lines exactly on top of it - as it's a floating image you end up dragging it if you click on it, so you have to drag the line from somewhere above the nomograph to somewhere below it. Not too bad really. There's also a fixed horizontal version, but I feel the vertical one is better as it takes up less space and gives a bigger area for plotting.

I couldn't find Wazoo's original vertical nomograph anywhere (except included in Venatore's map mod, but had problems with the line visibility). Then by chance I browsed through the files that RUb 1.45 modifies, and found it in there on an otherwise unmodified map screen. Perfect!

From http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ you can find the file RUb1.45.7z in the section UBRS DLC > SH3 Mods. It's nearly 50MB but it contains the file you're after. This file is SH3\data\Menu\Gui\StrTactMap.tga.
