Problem with 3 Dials Smooth Zooming in SH5 - NewUIs by TDW

imker · 05-06-14, 12:25 PM

I am using for Newuis 7.5.0 test version 17 with Silent Hunter 3 style.
The problem:
When i hovering mouse cursor on the first dial (speed) it is zooming ok, but when i hovering mouse on second dial (compass/heading), it is not zooming after first dial, and i should shake my mouse up and down to zoom second dial.
In the native Silent Hunter 4 and SH3 games, you can drag mouse from left to right by one moving, and all dials will be smoothly zooming and shrinking in sequence each after other.

How to solve this problem?
I want to smoothly zooming and shrinking all dials by one mouse moving from left to right like it was in SH3, SH4 old games.

Sorry for my bad English.

Hiya,

I can't help as i've only ever used the advanced ui options

No doubt someone using the sh3 style will come along soon

(do you use tdw's options file viewer ? or edit the .py file manually ?)

If manually altering/choosing, read up on the file viewer and go through that, makes life a lot simpler

Thank you, i have tried to use file vierwer, and to edit file "TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py" by the notepad program, but there are no solution of my problem.
In the "TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py" no such options. It has some options like a principial ability of zooming of each dial (true/false), value of zooming in percents from basic dial size, speed of zooming in miliseconds, i tried all of them.
I think this bug lies deeper in the body of this mod, not in options.
Is there any source code of NewUIs mod files, with coommentaries of developer (TDW), or some manual, which helps me to find solution.

Hiya,

Ok, only thing i can suggest as i don't use them is, remove all mods except the ui

Go and start game from last bunker save

If it's still the same then either as you say somethings wrong with the actual sh3 style part of the mod, or, could you try to dl and reinstall the ui mod again (rare to have damaged/corrupted dl's now but you never know)

Either way just have a quick test then exit game without saving

If the mod on its own is fine and you're using other mods then it points to a mod conflict, so you will have to hunt down what's upsetting it lol

Best to copy/paste your mods (only makes sense if using more than just the ui)

Again, sorry i can't help, i'm just throwing things at you to try

Problem lies in file named Page layout.py. There one variable: ADialAlreadyZoomed, I deleted links on this variable in 6 places of this file. And also edited TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, The result is great.
There are path on this mod, you can install it by jgsme.

It makes 3 dials smoothly zooming like in sh 3 and 4.

Addition
Do not install TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py from the archive
Install only Page layout.py
Using OptionsFileEditorViewer in Dials tab
options
Rate at which dials grow and shrink = 0,17
Throttle zoom factor on mouse in = 150
Speed zoom factor on mouse in = 170
Heading zoom factor on mouse in = 170
Rudder zoom factor on mouse in = 170
260 Depth zoom factor on mouse in = 170
25 Depth zoom factor on mouse in = 170
When mouse into dial that is zoomable this offset is applied to the Y axis if image goes offscreen = 5
When mouse into dial that is zoomable this offset is applied to the X axis if image goes offscreen = 5

Sorry for my bad English.

Hi,
I'm on snorkel depth and extending the snorkel I get "snorkel unavailable"

What am I missing???
Also, how to send a sonar ping????!!!! I press the button from the sonar man and get "No contact" although the sound is like a herd of rhino in a stampede.

This is in mission TDW torpedo tutorial???? Are there any perquisites I'm not aware of???
