As Irish1958 points out you have to be careful how you add mods with JSGME. Particularly, what the order of activation is.

Know this: The last file loaded in JSGME will supersede any other "like named" file.

Many mods change the menu_1024_768.ini file. If the file is not made specific to be compatible with another mod, the changes made by the last mod loaded thru JSGME will hold precedence over an earlier loaded mod.


That being said.....Yes, you can make the Magnified Hud Dials work with any mod.

In the Magnified Hud Dials download, you'll find a document called "Magnified Hud Dials Changes". This text document will help in explaining what is changed with the menu_1024_768.ini file. You can make the mod work with any other mod as long as you make the changes pointed out in the text document. Just remember to make a copy of the original .ini file that you plan to change (find it in the TMO or RFB mod), and put it in a different place than where you found it. Open the original file with Notepad, and manually change the specific entries as the document says. Remember to "save" the changes before exiting. Don't forget to copy/move the Magnified Hud mod images (the .dds files) and put them into TMO or RFB. Put them into the same folders as the Magnified Hud Dials mod. You're done. TMO, RFB, or another mod will now have the Magnified Hud Dials included in it.

Simply follow the folder structure of the Magnified Hud Dials mod.
