[REL] DGUI Hardcore 1920x1080 for GWX and Stock SH3

[diego_gut]

INTRODUCTION

This GUI was designed to be used for manual targeting and for people who play without "God's Eye View". It does not have the notepad and it provides tools to make it easier to get a firing solution manually. In addition, the Attack Map has been replaced with a full size TDC. It also tries to be historically correct. However, it works great with auto targeting. If you do not select "Manual targeting system", when you target a ship the id and firing solution will be automatically displayed on the TDC.

Another way of playing would be to select "Manual targeting system" and not select "No Weapon Officer assistance". In this way, you can do manual targeting but if you don't feel like doing it you can just ask for the ship id or solution to the Weapon Officer.

The RAOBF disk does not work if you do not select "Manual targeting system".


FEATURES

- 1920x1080 resolution.
- Authentic looking, full size TDC instead of Attack Map.
- AI upscaled TDC dials.

- Big Optics that take advantage of the high resolution.

- Commander binoculars with 8x zoom and authentic reticle.
- Proportional and accurate fields of view and zoom in all optics, calibrated using the periscope as reference.

- Full screen map
- Plotting tools you can draw on top of.
- Dragable and activable chronometer.
- Dragable analog clock that looks like the original.

CREDITS

 

This GUI would not have been possible without the previous work of many moders. Thanks a lot to everyone of them.

- HITMAN: This GUI contains some of his great code and research. I also used some of his graphics.

- Brodaga222: I included his great graphics for menu screens, some of his dials and some other stuff.

- The GWX Team: I included GWX charts, integrated orders mod, and probably a lot of graphics that originally were made for GWX and have found their way to more recent GUIs. Also, in general they have made a great contribution to SH3.

- Tycho: I included his GridXXXX mod and most importantly his patch is the key for some of the features of this GUI.

- Seeadler: Without his great work modifying d3d9.dll this would have been impossible.

- Reaper7: I used his great TDC graphic.

- Ahnenerbe: I didn't take anything directly from his GUI but Brodaga222 states that ARB is based on Ahnenerbe WideGui.

- Leitender: I used graphics from his compass mod.

- Anvar1061: Contributed the graphics for the training screen and the base file I used for flotillas.cfg.

- Toyotagt86: Contributed several very nice charts.

- JAFO-: I used his RAOBF Disk fix.

- Makman94: I upscaled the face of his analog clock to use in DGUI. Along with Hitman, he inspired me to do a manual targeting oriented GUI and I got ideas from his work.

- Onelifecrisis: I am sure many later GUIs contain his work and so it is probably in mine.

- Karamazovnew: I used parts of his AOB dial.

- JonZ: I modified his original chronometer and his recognition manual is in here.

- Joegrundman: I included his U-jagd chronometer.

- Vanjast: I learned a lot from reading his comments on menu_1024x768.ini which I included in mine.

- FLB Sale: I used his big depth dial as a basis for mine.

- Rubini and Conus00: As OLC I am sure their work is the basis of most of the later GUIs.

Again, thanks a lot to everyone and if you see something you own here please let me know to credit you or take it out.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

I am including a Sh3.exe file with the needed patches already applied. I applied the patches myself over my steam Sh3.exe. I also ran an antivirus scan to make sure there was nothing bad.


- IF YOU DON'T NEED TO APPLY YOUR OWN PATCHES:

- Move your DGUI_Hardcore_vxx directory to the MODS folder in your SH3 installation and install using JSGME


- IF YOU NEED TO APPLY OTHER PATCHES

- Apply Hsie's patch first according to his instructions.

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=174225

- Apply Stiebler patch second (this is optional).

- Apply Tycho's SH3 Patch next, it must be installed for this GUI to work properly. Use the one included here because it is customized for DGUI. You need to select the following options:

Expand Nav and Attack maps render limit
Disable hardcoded scopes reticle
Functional draggable chronometer

You may choose any other option but they are not required.

- Copy your patched Sh3.exe to DGUI_Hardcore_vxx directory.

- Move your DGUI_Hardcore_vxx directory to the MODS folder in your SH3 installation and install using JSGME

Great work, is it possible to darken the markings on the periscope abit so it is easier to see them?

[diego_gut]

Thank you Anvar1061 and SnipersHunter!!


I'll see what I can do with the graticle color. I will also make an attempt to improve the fonts to make them more readable.

Отличная работа, не терпится попробовать с модом от Onealex !

[John Pancoast]

Great mod, thank you very much !

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

Good evening "diego" I come back to you...
I wanted to ask you would it be possible to change the angle of lighting
of the red light filter and soften it a little... I really find it too red... sometimes even a little annoying... for comparison, see this..


OneAlex mod

I find that it is perfect as its less light around the lens..

this lighting if you can do it on both scopes.. as well as the "wear effect" patina on the lenses of the binoculars and the uzo..
I also thank you for what is already done as well as the last update
