Hi fitzcarraldo,

no the Magnified Hud Dials are not compatible with any other mod. The stock game menu_1024_768.ini file is what's in the mod. You would have to use an app like WinMerg to blend the Magnified Hud Dials changes into the TMO mod .ini file. Or, in the case of the "OTC for RSRDC v502 (the RSRDC version for a TMO 2.5 modded game) you would do the same thing with the OTC menu_1024_768.ini file.

In the download of the Magnified Hud Dials there is a .txt document (also in Windows Word format) that explains the specific entries that are changed. The Word document has the specific changes highlighted in red.

The menu_1024_768.ini file can be opened with Notepad, so just follow the entries and make the changes into the mods .ini file. Do this AFTER you've made a copy of the original file and stashed it in a safe place. There's only about a dozen specific entries that need to be changed.

If you want a custom dial size that's larger than the one I've made....lower the figure's below that's highlighted in red:

[G3F I35]
Name=Heading
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F1D0000
ParentID=0x3F010000
Pos=247,62,50,50
Zone= 759 120 50 50 0 1 0x3F010018 0.5 -1 0x3F1D0000 -0.5 1 0 90
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

This is the entry for the Compass from the Magnified Hud Dials_Large.

Want a larger dial? Change the "50" to "45". Want a smaller dial? Change the four entries to something like "65". The stock entries were set to "90".
