Default Pascal Ripbud and OneTinSoldier Dials - Updated to v1.2

Howdy,



Before:




After:















In case you don't know what to look for, look closely at the Navigation dial.

The 'After' pics are of Pascal's dials with the navigation numbers and letters(outer part of the dial) essentially from Ripbuds Readable Dials gauge.


I sort of did the same thing when I made the 'Wolfies and Ripbuds Merged Gauges', but all I had to do then was copy and paste Ripbuds outer dial into Wolfies.

For this one I had to lasso the each item(heading numbers and letters) individually, then paste it in, then I painted by hand in photoshop to get rid of the brown color that was contained within and surrounded them, with colors from Pascal's, so that they looked proper with Pascal's dials in regard to coloring. Took about 5 hours. Hey, I'm not real familiar with Photoshop! :hmm: If I were it probably would have taken me a little less time.



Anyway, what do you think? Do the heading numbers/letters look a little more readable now?


For Version 1.2 I had to paint by hand for quite a while to make sure that... the lines looked proper, were at the correct placement, and were at pretty much the correct angle. I had to fire up SHIII a number of times to check it out by trial and error.


Cheers,

OneTinSoldier

Added darker marker lines to speed dial and shallow depth dial. Added LARGE numbers to the depth dial for the 50, 100, 150, 200, and 260 meter depth markers. Other minor tweaks.

Thanks Jace11. I PM'd Pascal and asked him to take a look at it.

Cheerio,

OTS

Great work!
I really like this variant. Is it possible for DL if Pascal approves of course?

Very nice.

Yes, I've squinted too much at the nav dial. This will help.

Pascal! Pascal!

I thank you to ask me but my work is open and i'm always glad to see improvements.
So, it's a nice work and i will use it. Perhaps also the grey dial inside needs now to be a little more dark (letters)

You will find on my japs website a psd file with this little dial in the same color as the big ones (dial.zip).

Thank you for letting me know about the .psd file. If I decide to do anything more I will take a look at it. But I think having the numbers/letters on the inside of the dial a little bit different color than the numbers/letters that are on the outside part of the dial is probably a good thing.

Cheers,

OTS

Pascal,

May I suggest a slight change to the "Voltmeter" dial: that it read "Amperes" instead. I have a version I made for my own use, but I'd be willing to offer it up to you as a contribution to your effort or to put it up as a separate mod if you didn't mind.

Seamless CE Gauges window, very nice Pascal! I like that little bit of extra HP Air tubing that's visible now too.

Sweet,

OneTinSoldier
