thanks for the reply BlightLightning.

i have been looking at the files you have said for some weeks (since i got the idea), and everytime i end up with the same thought... that the ID references are the key to make this work, but nowere i can find them...

A lot of the files in "Data\Cfg" are old (unused as far as i known) Sh3 configuration files. Others, like the one you mention (Commands.cfg) are also linked to a ID numer. So here i suppose one can add a new command, but it will still be limited to the comands that has been writen for the game by the ID reference (making not posible, as an exaple, add a new "abandon ship" command).

"menu_1024_768.in" has been my main playground all this time. Not only sets were the graphics and text are, it also makes them selectable. So here is were i should be adding the new button, and even the tooltips.
Yesterday i was looking in the file and i got an idea that maybe work, but still i have to figure out about the ID code...

Finally, "menu.txt" is just text for the menu and tooltips. If i get something working, here is the place to add for all the text that i want...

i will try some things and see if i manage something.
Maybe an e-mail to ubisoft isnt a bad idea, but still i will wayt a few days.

Thanks again BlightLightning!
