Problem when adding a dial, any ideas?

karamazovnew · 07-28-09, 11:48 PM

I'm trying to add chronometers to both the nav map and the hydrophone notepad. I've checked and rechecked, but for some reason the needles don't move. I've even downloaded the U-jagd tools to figure out if I did any mistake, but no. Here's how the files look (for the hydrophone screen).

I think there is a dragable chronometer mod.

Is that any help ?

karamazovnew · 07-29-09, 12:04 AM

I had already downloaded that and compared to my files. Apart from the ID's there's no difference. I even thought that there could only be 3 chronometers in the game (AP, OP, UZO), but the Ujagd one doesn't take any of those ID's. I copy/pasted everything from the AP myself, and changed what was neccesary...

Sorry I'm not more help.

I would also like a chrono at more stations.

Hope you get it worked out.

Hmm, I've just moved another dial to the hydrophone screen (the Target Speed dial). As expected, it didn't work, yet this time I'm sure I wrote it correctly. I'm beginning to suspect that The Nav Map and the Hydrophone Screen (i mean Page Interior), do not check the dials.cfg file. That might explain why they made a draggable chrono that sits in the Page Layout (G3F) :P. Can anyone confirm this?
