I have SH3 (Steam) + 4GB Patch with GWX3.0 and SH3 Commander already installed.

Is it possible to install a 1980x1020 mod like DGUI 1920x1080 over top or do I need to start over?

Hello,


Yes, you can install it over your current installation. You have to install the patches for the full screen map and chronometer according to the instructions. You may need to apply the 4Gb patch again using Hsie's patch in order to be able to install Tycho's patches.


I will not be available for the rest of the day but I could help you tomorrow if you need.

Unfortunately, I don't think I understand the process.

Do I need to install the DGUI first? Then the Tycho and Chrono patch?

I tried to patch the HSIE and it failed, then I tried the Tycho and it failed too.

Installing DGUI requires to steps, installing the mod itself and patching sh3.exe. I recommend you patch sh3 first and copy it to the included DGUI directory, then you can move the DGUI directory to your mods folder and intall it using JSGME.


In order to successfully patch sh3 you have to start with a stock sh3.exe. Next, I recommend you apply HSIE patch and run the options selector and unselect everything but the 4Gb patch. This way it will be simpler and you don't have to prepare the supplement that is a more involved process. This is mandatory if you have a steam version or you won't be able to install Tycho's patch.


The second step is to install TychoSh3Patch. To do this, you have to copy the TychoSh3Patch.map file that comes with DGUI and replace the one that comes with the patch. You have to apply the patch over the sh3.exe that you patched in the first step.


Finally, apply the chrono patch and copy the patched exe to the DGUI folder and install it.


Please let me know if everything went ok.

Good Hunting

Thanks a lot for the offer!! I will check them out.


I did not include any charts on the periscope or uzo stations because it is not possible to make them show above the bearing indicator. If you drag them on top of the periscope you will see the bearing indicator on the chart and I don't like how that looks. That is why I moved the flags to the map.


The other reason is because of memory consumption, DGUI uses about 150mb less than ARB. On the other hand, I realize that charts are immersive, useful and make the GUI much nicer.


I will include whatever I can integrate nicely.

I apologize for checking your mod until today, I haven't been able to do anything mod related in the last days.


Your charts are great! The distance tables are a must have. I think I will include everything.


The charts that need to be used in the periscope stations should go in the layout page like you did with the distance tables. I am going to move the Aob charts there.


Thanks a lot!

It’s a very good widegui ! A good and immersive experience !
I’m thinking of adapting it for wac5.2 which is my favorite supermod.

This is what I also did for arb widegui :

Thank you!!


I plan to keep polishing it while staying with the general concept. You probably should wait a bit until I stop making changes.

Yes i will wait and look carefully at the improvements you will make.


Nice !

Is it possible to run this mod with WAC?

I ask since I loaded yesterday a patrol in it and found that everything was stretched and then saw the save date, August of 2019...:o. In that date my old crt was still going, but in Xmas day of that year it finally give up.

Joining the fact that I want try your mod and needing a 1920x1080 mod for the game, I thought of asking.

Hello,
I have never tested it with WAC so I am not sure if it will work fine, I use GWX for testing. Having said that, it will probably work but you may loose GUI elements added by WAC. It should be easy to try.

Diego

Hello,

I tried and load up fine, at least in single missions. Tomorrow will try out in patrol campaign. the only difference I saw was the change of the attack scope, but I did play so little of wac, can not remember what GUI exclusive elements WAC has.

I kind liked the work of the mod, will explore it more. Thank you for it.
