Ok I am back to NYGME and I dunno why I just like it :03: plus my personal mods are all geared for it.



I touched up the brighter recognition manual a bit as some pics were over exposed and others a bit dark.

Brighter recognition manual stopped working with recent NYGME releases.Here is a fixed version for anyone interested.This fix is only needed if you use ARB GUI.Stock NYGME uses DGUI Hardcore which works perfectly....though I must say I have no idea how that is.:doh:


Anyway here ya go:D

Quick simple answer, keep weapon officer assistance on and when you lock on to the ship, get him to identify it for you and click the name of the ship on the notepad, it will auto flip to the exact page in the rec manual so you don't have to go scrolling through it. You can still do manual targeting, just use him to identify only. As for the darkness thats the UI that Fifi and NYGM players prefer and I did say his mod was more tailored to hardcore manual targeting players.

Thanks but the ARB version that NYGM uses is 4.0 where the notepad was removed and replaced by Ujagd.The one that Onealex uses is iirc ARB 3.0 and does have the notepad.I ran with 3.0 for a bit in NYGME but I grown to like how 4.0 looks.

Whatever floats your boat, I only mentioned it because you were making quite the scene about earlier in the thread and didn't know if you knew that or not.

Quite the scene?:doh::har: I guess I may have been a bit overwhelmed when I first came back to SH3 LOL.My eye sight being one thing and then the dark manual threw me for a loop.But I purchased reading glasses and its all good now.:up:

Something I kept noticing when using ARB WideGUI in NYGME(might not be an issue in stock vanilla SH3) was that it seemed to have 2 reticles super imposed with one over the other.I made them both blank and the stock vanilla reticles are there.Seems hardcoded in engine as there is no image file texture to alter.Any reticle image you place in game gets placed over the stock vanilla reticles causing the double range tick marks etc.

The pic above is vanilla reticle for attack scope and is exactly what this mod changes the reticles to look like.All I did was add in the numbers 10 at the 10 tick mark spots as it wasn't showing in game.From what I gather stock vanilla SH3 reticle is exact replica of what you see in "many" old WW2 german submarine pics.Its not cluttered and so easy to range ships with. https://www.westpalmbeach.com/wp-con.../06/U-Boat.jpg


Stock SH3 reticle matches with the ARB 6x attack scope perfectly so works for range as intended but ARB also changes the OBS scope to 6x.Luckily the game engine auto changes it to use the correct 6x reticule.So its the same reticule for OBS and attack scope as its hardcoded in engine.

The UZO reticle is also stock vanilla 7x and is where we have a slight problem.NYGME changes the UZO to 8x so it is slightly off the 7x reticle of stock SH3 game.I must add here to please do not bother Fifi with this mod.:up:

Well after fixing this I decided to try to bring back the rigged for red lighting that was missing in ARB.UZO at night is darker while attack and OBS scopes are darker and red same as with nav map.I particulary like the surface attacks with UZO.:D

I made the attack scope actually dark at night to simulate the fact that the OBS scope was also called the night scope.The smaller head of attack scope lets in less light and when sun goes down its hard to use.

I also fixed the dark recognition manual thingy.

Again this is not Fifi's mod so do not bother the man.I tested it vigorously so it should work but SH3 is finicky AF!!! I made some "simpler" to use bearing and line tools and it would crash game until I found out for some reason my uniforms mod I was using was conflicting.:o:hmmm:

While you are at fixing things in ARB... you should try to fix all the charts & maps & flags visible UNDER all the dials:03:

(the recon book is still dark even with changing semicolon in menu ini)

:Kaleun_Salute:

Argghh the recognition manual works but I have it as a separate mod and is why I did not notice it was missing.


The charts and flags etc though is beyond my comprehension as of now.Its a layers thing and comes down to how the mod was setup.I'll look a bit for a clue but doubt I will find anything....I'm not a wizard Fifi:timeout:....I am just a truck driver with a long lay off and time to spare!:O: Do you know if the original ARB mod had this issue of floating dials? I guess I can look but thats for tomorrow.......:salute:

ARB Onealex
 

If you want your manual to be normal use the files of the ARB Onealex
I think it's the work of CapZap1970 & s7rikeback on the salve label..
Many thanks to them for the correction.:up::salute:
ARB vers 0.8 parfaitement fonctionnelle sur Onealex 1.53 screens:thx Captaines for the work

the problem that Fifi has exposed is the same on this personal version I would place the flags file on the main map like Diego it doesn't bother me...

My pleasure Kal! :Kaleun_Cheers::Kaleun_Salute:

Anyone have a clue as to why the estimated time to impact doesnt always show on Ujagd and chronometer?I am close to removing all the charts from the 3 scopes so the bug where the charts pass under the dials is just not there anymore.


With the flag chart I decided to steal the chronometer function as its always on top and its not really usable as the Ujagd serves same function.So I got flag chart on main screen now but I noticed that the estimated impact min and second lines was missing on ujagd.BUT I just tested it now with just base DGUI and its also missing the estimated lines.

EDIT and now the lines are showing again in DGUI!!! Arghhh

Estimate times on chronometers are in menu.ini :03:
Good luck changing anything in there :)
They are always working in DGUI hardcore …

:Kaleun_Salute:

I kind of think it adds to the suspense of the anticipated hit. :D
