Hello All,

I really prefer the old SH3 menu for the NavMap Tools and zAmboni brought it back to us for SH4 with his 'Retro NavMap Tools' mod. I also prefer Jimm's NavMapTools v1.3(made for SH3) compared to SH4's defaults. And I like colors as opposed to black and white, so I threw in Aces Colored Menu Bar which has nice pastel colors.

I converted Jiim's tools to SH4, and with zAmboni's permission for Retro NavMap Tools(sliding drop-down version) I combined all three of these mods into one. None of this is my own work but I hope you enjoy it!

Download here: RetroNavMapTools_Jiims-NavMapTools-v1.3_Aces-Colored-Menu-Bar.7z

Installation:

7-Zip compressed archive utilty found here... http://www.7-zip.org/

Made to be installed with JSGME found here... http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

Intall JSGME into SH4 and run it once and close it out. It will create a 'MODS' folder inside SH4. Unzip this mod into the MODS folder created by JSGME. Run JSGME and use it to activate the mod and enjoy!

Notes:

- NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MODS THAT MODIFY THE 'menu_1024_768.ini' file.

- If you prefer black and white for the sliding drop-down navmap tools menu then you can delete the following file within the mod...

Data\Menu\Gui\MapTools.dds

- From the Readme below for Nav Map tools v1.3.... If you want to use the protractor with normal markings (top:0, bottom:180), move the 'Line.dds' file from the 'Documentation\Option-Ruler' folder to the 'Data/Menu/MouseCurs' folder within the mod.

- I believe with Jimm's NavMapTools there is no longer any use/need for the 'Tool Helper' function so I don't think it will do anything.

- From the Readme below for RetroNavTools... 'Ctrl+Eraser' is now the 'Erase All' function. There is also a tool-tip pop-up that tells you this if you hover your mouse over the Eraser.
