THE cross I see it is not realistic, sorry for my English. thank you very much everyone.

Installing "Accurate German Flags" brings them back to the flags and the bunker, but unfortunately not to the manual..

Thanks all for response, i know that, i use one mods for German accurate flags, but not change the older German Iron Cross in rec manual, i need change only in manual rec cover.

Under Depth Dial, you can clearly see that readings are in Feets (ft). How can i change readings from Feet to Meters???

Hi! TheDarkWraith. Could you create this scrip?

In my "commands.cfg" :

**********************************
[Cmd436]
Name=Toggle_battle_stations
Contexts=1
HasDelayedExecution=Yes
Key0=0x42,s,"B" ;(Shift+B)
Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_01_A (sound for activate battle stations)
***********************************

Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_03 *This line add for me, contains the correct sound to deactivate battle stations. But I don't know if is possible incorporate this line to [Cmd436].

I'd like this:

- first push of key (shift+b) for toggle_battle_stations (on)
with Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_01_A

- second push of key (shift+b) for toggle_battle_stations (off)
with Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_03

If possible do it? How?

**************************
yes i was after that long time ago, it is a known problem...

...there is only one command for battlestations which is toggleing it, there are no seperate commands for battlestations on or off.

but there are maybe 1 old and possible 1 new solution after what we have discovered so far:

1. dont use the key at all, use the weapons officer`s dialog menue.

2. connect the keystroke command with a script (as Rubini did for commanding the crew to go up or below the cunning tower), which can check if crew is on battlestions or not, then you can use the script to play the sounds accordingly. (maybe you just need to add a crew script, which have the exact name as the command).

example:
if Wp:Isbattlestations() then or something similar.

I may have suggested this a long, long time ago (maybe even in a PM). From what I have gathered over time, it appears that many people have encountered the confusion with installing the NewUI mod, because of the layout. This is also my personal experience.

Perhaps re-doing your mod folder layout in the download file in a different way, so that the NewUI main mod gets the spotlight and is immediately visible in the root, while all other secondary mods go into their own place (Add-on Mods).

I remember getting confused even though I had installed the mod many times a long time ago. A little reworking of the layout may go a long way in making it easier to get this mod working out of the box, as well as to minimize the amount of posts that pop up requesting install help. This mod does easily work out of the box, without the need for tweaking, but the layout belies that fact. It took me a few installs long ago, and some panic and confusion, before I realized that.

Having said that, my suggestion is that the file NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith could be set up something like this (due to alphabetical order):

- Add-on Mods (or Secondary Mods, or call it whatever you deem is best)
- Documentation
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith
- Text

All the other mods would be in Add-on Mods:
- Dials
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_alt_officer_wounded_by_Torpedo
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Das_Boot_Crew_Mod_by_Illyustrator
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ERM_Reaper7_NightVision
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ERM_Reaper7_NightVision_Black_Ski n
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_jimimadrids_map_tools
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_New_radio_messages_German
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_No_Snorkel_Exhaust_Smoke
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Real_Navigation
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Scopes (do not enable - read)
- NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_WWIIInterface_by_naights

What this also does is allow the user to immediately drag and drop, or unzip/unrar, the NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith mod right into the MODS folder, without having to look at, or do, anything else except activate the mod and jump into the game.

Moving the documentation folder directly into the root, in the case of this mod even though it conflicts with the convention suggested in the mod forum sticky, also allows the user to see it immediately, and have a look at it without burrowing. Personally, I don't see value in having docs or readmes activated with a mod, so I delete all documentation before moving any mod to the MODS folder, but that's just me. Having it in the root, so you can look at it once to see what the mod does, and what needs to be tweaked if required, is often more than enough. If there's any need to read it in the future, we can simply open the original zip/rar file.

This is just my suggestion, and if it helps, great.

TDW: no thoughts on this?

[Jester_UK]

Just tried to download 6.9.0. The hosting site is FUBAR. Had the same problem trying to download OH2 from the same site.

Are there any other mirrors available?

[dpajic]

The version Im playing is UI version 6.9.0? The texture of this dials don't seem to appear the same as from (print screen) images at the start of this forum!!
Is there a way to convert depth dial measurements from Feet to meters?

BUMP

TDW, a request if I may, please,

Several months ago there was a discussion about the fact that, historically, the Kriegsmarine did not use kilometers for navigation but rather nautical miles (or as they are refered to in German, see miles). As was pointed out at that time there is a MOD available,

Authentic_Navigation_Units_0.1.0.15

which converts the distance scales on both the TAI and the NAV maps to to nautical miles which is most helpful and immersive. More helpful, yet, would be if you might consider adding a scale bar on the nomographs of the two maps so that they could also be used with nautical miles as well as kilometers in time-speed-distance calculations as part of your next NewUIs revision.

Thanks

Hello dpajic.

I'm not shure but have a look at the "Dials"-folder in the downloaded file "NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_TheDarkWraith.7z".
In the folder German >> Metric you will find some graphics files for the dials.
Search the game directory for a file with the same name and copy it over.
Make shure you backup the original file.
The path could be "data/Menu/Gui".

Regards.

Echolt.

[dpajic]

Yeah, The dials look perfect. I got it working know Thank you

TheDarkWraith: I just want to ask you something since you know SH from inside out and I don't want to make a new thread because of this minor adjustment. Would you know if there's some chance to adjust the camera behaviour when inside the sub - it means when I'm in that first peson view as a captain? And I specifically mean if there is some possibility to adjust that kind of delay/smoothing just like it is with the external camera? Because for me the reponse is a bit sharp and hence choppy. I'd rather prefer something what was in SH3 in case of 1st person camera you know? Is there any way it can be adjusted through some cfg file or something? I can definitely live without it, but for now that cam inside the sub is a slight immersion braker for me and I think it would get more natural feeling if adjusted. Thank you.

Have you tried using the free cam from my camera bar? Maybe that's what you're looking for?

[Swat]

Well that's a free cam yes, but it doesn't react to mouse movement. I can move it only horizontally with 4 and 6 keys on the numpad, but I meant the original 1st person camera which also reacts when it comes to interaction with the crew members etc. I found the file inside SH5 folder called 'CameraBehavior.act', but I have no idea how to open the file with 'act' extension...

.act files are basically dlls so you either open them with hex editor or attach a debugger to the game while running so you can 'see' inside them
