[REL] TDC (with minimal dials using stock interface) for SH5

TheDarkWraith · 03-12-10, 08:10 PM

This will add the TDC and some of it's dials to the 'new' stock SH5 interface. From the text file TDC_Dials_1_0_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Stock SH5 switches.txt located in MODS\TDC_Dials_1_0_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Stock SH5 switches\Documentation:

TDC Dials for SH5 by TheDarkWraith (minimal dials and using stock SH5 interface switches and sliders)
version 1.0.0
This mod will bring the familiar TDC and it's dials back to the UZO, Attack Periscope, and Observation periscopes. This is for users using the 'new' interface in SH5. Some dials have been removed so that the stock SH5 interface of sliders and buttons can be used like stock.
A BIG thanks to maerean_m for information and assistance he gave in helping me make the TDC come to life for the obs periscope, attack periscope, and UZO. Thanks again!!
Contributors (\Included mods from others):
FLB Sale U999 - used his TDC_metric.dds file for the dials in the TDC
This is JSGME ready. Copy 'MODS' folder and place in '\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\' (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default)

Changelog:
v1.0.0 - centered Periscope and Observation scope oculars in the screen
- moved some TDC dials lower in the display and adjusted x offsets to the sides since centering oculars
- removed unneeded items from display in attack and observation scope pages
- removed some TDC dials so stock SH5 interface can be used

thump....(gets back on chair)

thank-you

Whoah man, just been using it in-game. It's awesome. I like it way better than the cluttered up version.

This is how it should have been to begin-with. I can turn the dials for entering things quickly, and if i need to type it in for whatever reason i still can. WOOOO!

Indeed. Well it looks well done, and is what should have been there coming out of the box.

Just finished up my 1st patrol with this.. and it was fantastic. I was setting up shots and firing from the hip quicker than ever.

Only 1 issue i noted. I couldn't hide the UI anymore.

Hey man, what shall I say? I'm just speechless! That's so cool! Too bad I'm on a business trip and not able to try it. But I definitly know what I'll do first when I'll return home tomorrow! ... well, second

. Thank you for your great tribute to the community!

BowfinSS287 · 03-13-10, 08:06 AM

this is fantastic work,i also use the no lock mod
i pasted over the pos and zone info,but i still get
a small grey arrow below the cross-hair in scope
that switches to the top after i press lock. any
help on how to remove it would be great

thanks again

BowfinSS287 · 03-13-10, 08:46 AM

i figured it out, if you want to get rid of those grey arrows just
paste this info into both "Name=DownArrow & Name=UpArrow
in the files :

Page attack periscope.ini
Page obs periscope.ini and
Page UZO.ini

Pos=3980,-5,60,24
Zone= 4584 396 60 24 0 1 0x26190003 50 -0.5 0x26190001 -0.5 0.5 0 0

located in

\TDC_Dials_1_0_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Stock SH5 switches\data\Menu\Pages

this mod is not mine it belongs to dotChukles
Remove Lock/Break Lock and Switch Target in UZO/Periscopes
i just copied his work

Can some one help me with install this mod? do I just past the downloaded Mod folder to the SH5 folder? Thanks

Looks good, but I have one problem using it.
I have 19" LCD with native 1280x1024 resolution and dials partially hide view from UZO and periscope. At your screenshots all dials are outside of UZO/periscope view - probably you play at higher resolution than me. Could you release version for smaller resolutions, like 1280x1024, please?

As i design in small steps, the next step is to make them slideout from the side so it shouldn't be an issue to anyone.

Sounds good, but for those of us with high resolutions.. leave a switch in the script so we can choose whether we want it to slide or not.

I personally want them on all the time, because i have the screen real-estate for it.
