[TEC] Using the TBT graphic for the binoculars?

[LukeFF]

Since the TBT was really just a set of bincoulars mounted on the bridge, I thought it would be a good idea to use the TBT graphic for the binoculars. I tried copying over the TBT graphic to the binocular file, but I only got this wierd-looking result:

So, how does one go about getting this to work properly?

I guess you have to edit menu_1024_768.ini :hmm:

Yep, looks to me that you have to either resize that graphic layer (squeeze it or what have you) or put in the right dimension in to the zone line in the menu_1024_768.ini

My bad...it works like this

As you can see the Binocular.dds is only made up by a quarter of the complete "finished" graphics (see the original Binocular.dds and you will see what i mean)
So in order to do this properly you have 2 choices


Use only the top right side of the TBT (you will have probs with the cross hair)
Tweak the menu_1024_768.ini to use only the COMPLETE TBT.ddsAs you can see in the pic you posted the two top graphics are simply mirrored
but the two lower are actually flipped horizontal as well...exactly how the bino .dds works.

Hope that help you a bit further.
