hi John,
i can't understand about which videos you are talking about but this is not so important. the main point of my message is this: even if you saw an image that you like in there at RAOBF wheels , DON'T mix things between mods.
ps: if you manage to find a link to the video maybe i can tell you where this image can be found

I was wondering if it would be technically possible to add a Maneuvering board to the Navigation map (F5), making the map look something like this:



I know how to change the tga files so that I can write or copy paste to the map, but would it be possible to expand the map area to the right so that I could use the empty space on the right to fit a working maneuvering board there?

It's difficult to verbalize what I mean, but perhaps someone with menu_1024_768.ini editing experience understands what I'm getting at, and can give me a "can't be done" or "yeah, go ahead, it should be possible" answer.

If this is possible I might edit my map to look somewhat like the picture, and if it's ok to makman94, I might also release the map as a minimod for MaGuiWS, "MoBo for MaGui WS"
hello Sublynx,
thank you for your kind words

about your question:
unfortunatelly it can't be done ! expanding the map area to full the screen was one of my desires too but in sh3 (and not at sh4) there is a game limitation, the map area can only be maximized at length till 1024 pxls.

just two ideas for your idea:
1. why not a draggable MB ?
or
2. you can add a stady image of MB at the right side of screen but take care of its(your image) backround layer. make it so that leave a transparent area at its left (i am talking for your image background) in order not to cover the map area. the rest right background cover it with something that will look like map's layout .
i don't really (personal taste) like this option but it is very possible people to like it. in case that you like it keep in mind to discard the night filter becuase ,during night, the map page will look odd

all the best,
Manos
