[REL] Grandpa's Gauges for OM+OMEGU (rev1)
// Thank you CapnScurvy
Grandpa's Gauges for OM+OMEGU (rev1) Screenshots 1st, details below... OM+OMEGU with Grandpa's Gauges installed (mouse inactive) OM+OMEGU with Grandpa's Gauges installed (mouse over gauge) for comparison purposes -- Standard OM+OMEGU Gauges (mouse inactive) for comparison purposes -- Standard OM+OMEGU setup with Grandpa's Gauges (mouse over gauge) DISCLAIMER OM + OMEGU is great. I can't thank enough to lurker and all others whose work is incorporated to his mods. Once again I love OM and nothing wrong with it. Even on bigger screens it is perfectly fine. Now the only problem is with my eyesight please read the rest of this post with this point on mind... INTRODUCTION I have a 23" screen with 1920x1080 resolution; OM+OMEGUs standard gauges are painfully small for my taste. They are difficult to read (for me) plus it is impossible (again, it is just me) to set speed to a precise value, e.g. 8 knots, without investing several seconds to hit the correct tiny point on the gauge. I don't like this - ideally, I would like a MUCH bigger sized gauge so that I can simply click and point - as swiftly as standard mouse point-n-click operation. Now this mod provides just that, for 1920x1080 screens. CREDITS This is a derivative work. It is first and foremost an adaptation of CapnScurvy's "Magnified Hud Dials mod" to OM+OMEGU environment. CapnScurvy's Magnified Hud Dials mod provided bigger HUD Dials for the following 3 gauges:
As explained in disclaimer section, even "magnified" gauges were not big enough for me so I magnified them even further. They are REALLY BIG now see for yourself . HOW TO INSTALL This is JSGME compatible so the usual stuff goes. However you will notice there are two directories as listed below: Grandpa's_Gauges_for_OM+OMEGU_(rev1).1.(main_mod) Grandpa's_Gauges_for_OM+OMEGU_(rev1).2.(ini_file_t weak) You need to enable both in succesion - owing to filenames they should come up in the right order, activate the minimod first, then the ini file tweak. If you don't activate ini file tweak it won't work. . NOTE - FOR OTHER SCREEN RESOLUTIONS Quote:
NOTE - Why in 2 separate directories? Quote:
