The Sextant image is now implemented in SH4...draggable...and with an ability to close it and open it as you see fit...
I bet that Vanjast will soon come up with a total package for RealNavigation - so ill stay out of his side of the yard.
I have simply tied the sextant to the Chronometer. So when ever you open the chronometer the sextant image shows up as well, lined up to the one side of the chronometer. You can then drag the chronometer around as you see fit and the sextant image will follow along:rotfl:
NEEDED:
Sextant image placed in .....Data/Menu/Gui/...
I took mine from Vanjast's wonderful SH-3 RealNavigation's mod.
Section pasted into the Menu_1024_768.dat file
HOW:
Here is the stuff to change in menu_1024_768.dat file....
Added the original SEXTANT part to a new location after the LAST of the chronometer sections G29 I15 - make really sure this is the one.
The sextant is now placed up along the left side of the Chronometer, so when you only need the chronometer you can drag it to the left side of the screen, thus dragging the sextant out of the screen area. Now i only need to adjust the sextant image to the exact screenhight.
Appart from that all you need is the graphics file from the REAL NAV mod to SH3 placed in Data/Menu/Gui/KF_SextantX.tga - Beware that in the below text you need to rename the tga file to the above name (remove 1280x980)

This is going to be a NO JSGME mod as i guess most of you guys have your "own" menuxxxxxxx.dat file AND that a simple copy paste of this above section is pretty simple.
