[WIP] Hydro/Sonar Room Plot Mod

Hilis Hatki · 01-14-08, 10:57 AM

Hey,

Been x-spear-minting with this, its a remake of the same thing I did for the map table, bout 2 years ago.

Lets you keep track of contacts. You have to update contacts yourself. Helps to visualize the outside world.

Have different backgrounds. Notepad, green plastic.
Diamonds, square, circle....

using diamonds for warships.

any advice or templates welcomed.

Any link?

sounds good. I'd like to use it, but is it GWX 2.0 compatible? Does it need any other mods on?

Outstanding idea, if it as Abd said is compatible with the current and commonly used mods.

Cool! How do you get to move those red marks on the added compass wheel? And is there a limit to how many?

And is there any chance the hydrophone needle can be extended to the edge of the scale? To point directly at the small marks.

hopefully you'll release this as a DIY mod. As I want to implement it in OLC's GUI mod.

Canbe used with any mod as long as the space on the screen is open. Needs no other mods. No link yet.

Just click and drag to move the icons. Uses the same principle as the overlays on the strat. map. No limit on symbols.
Not sure about the needle.
It is a DIY mod.

This mod is not JSME (?) ready. Because you have to modify the file menu_1024_768.ini by hand. Its easy and a readme will be provided showing how.

Here is one of the bearing overlays:

...and here I was about to ask if the notepad in the sonar room could be removed, because it always annoyed me that it followed your panning around the room.

After seeing this it might actually serve a useful purpose.

BTW -- is the compass overlay static or draggable?

Looks like a great mod.
