I got it!!! I got it!!! I got it!!

I had to end up downloading GIMP and the DDS plugin for it, and it wouldn't save except as a single layer file, but that doesn't seem to be hurting anything. I even found a freeware version of the font the game uses so the text would match.

The only problem now is that if you use a screen height below 960 the message box writes over the sub info, which will make the message box text hard to read. So if I make a mod out of this, I'll have to make a note about that in the readme.

It isn't exactly what I wanted, because the info is visible all the time. But it's better than nothing, and doesn't require any additional editing beyond the image file.

So what say you all? Want this as a mod, or am I just doing this for myself?
