Done converting all sil.tga files, and made an index of all ships, classnames and displayed names. Made a test slide out sheet.
Started looking at the mechanics.
Managed to create a slide-out for the main page.
Experimenting with menu groups within menu groups and coordinates both for trigger zones and images. Managed to have a 2nd slideout from the slide out main page but the positioning is all wrong. This is confusing to say the least.

One thing: I've read the MenuIniGuide11 and I'm looking at code but I can't for the life of me see how the buttons' functions are defined. I see groups of type 1032 with an ID that is not referred to anywhere else as far as I can tell, with a Menu Group as parent. Can someone shed some light on how one can make custom made buttons for toggling on and off an image?

Another thing: Is there a document on the various types used in menu_1024_768.ini? Some types are commented but their functions are often unclear while other groups I have no idea what do.
