change log for v1.9.0:
- added single button crash dive command. If option is set in options file then when user presses crash dive icon they are teleported to the Radar station. After the time expires that user has set in options file then crash dive command will be issued (TeleportOnCrashDive and TeleportOnCrashDiveWaitTime)

How do I set this in the options. I still get crew still on deck when I press the Crashdive button?

Installed version 9 but now i get this screen. It looks like a tutorial and
i don`t get rid of it..

Looks like an incorrect install, have you extracted to the correct folder. Easiest method is to extract the Mod Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC V1.9 Folder from within the Mods Folder in the Archive straight to the Mods (if using JGSME) folder in the SH5 game dir folder.

someone send me that compass and I'll incorporate it into next version. If you all have ideas for other tools for the nav map let me know. If you want x tool to replace y tool let me know. I'm very flexible. If I like it I'll do it

EDIT: found the compass. I'll swap out the draggable compass in v1.9.0 with this one.

By default the one click teleport on crash dive is already set to True. The wait time is 5 seconds so after you click on crash dive you should be teleported to radio and then 5 seconds later the crash dive command is issued. Is this not working for you?

I ran out of fishes and was heading home. I got stopped 11 times on the way there, and when I passed by a friendly convoy I nearly kicked a puppy into traffic as each of the 24 ships in the convoy dropped me back to 1x TC as my soundguy called them out. heh

Also, if we wanted to remove the night mask on the map, can we just delete the DDS?

I'm debating as to whether to add the SetTC1OnNewNavMapContact feature as a togglable icon to the top right bar (to me that would be the logical place for it). Either that or a toggle located somewhere on the nav map to toggle this feature.

You don't like the night mask? Since I'm planning on adding night masks to everything that's missing them I'll add an option in the options file that will allow you to disable all night masks. Simply deleting the .dds will probably cause a CTD as the game goes looking for the file. What you can do is edit the alpha channel to solid black. That will disable the effect.

Yes I just tried this and it's true. If the option is set then the tool helper is highlighted orange at game start. Tools for the TAI are in second mode but not nav map. I'm looking into this.

EDIT:

fixed.

Seems to be a glitch when loading a saved game. It didn't work the first time than when I reloaded the saved game, it worked.

[TheDarkWraith]

swapped out the original draggable compass for the one kylania talked about:


do we want that new draggable compass to be that big (it's 512x512). The other compass is the map tool's protractor for comparison.

[reaper7]

Hmm.. Looks a bit big and hypnotic

I was thinking the same thing. I'll shrink it down to 256x256 and see how it looks.

Actually I can do this: have the map tools toggle button toggle between the original draggable compass and this one or I add another button to the map tools that controls the toggling between these two.....

EDIT:
shrunk it down to 384x384 and that's much better! It can stay now.

Almost all of yours are missing [ ] which will cause a nasty python error and the problems you're experiencing.

[panosrxo]

does your observation scope work? mine is messed up. Scope is too low, part of it is out of the screen.
I use minimal dials.
