...then... what??? :rotfl:

What I mean is... I can't (by modding means) stop you from dragging it off the map, I'm afraid. You'll just have to be careful where you put it - sorry mate!

(p.s. if any modder is reading this and does know a way to stop it, let me know)

Yes, Friedl9te wrote a good one - there is already a link to it in the first post of this thread.

Unless it interferes with something else of course. I'll be downloading each update as its released but, since I use a bearing ring mod, it would be nice to not have to edit this variable each time.

Please and Thank you.
I edited symbolzoom to prevent that big image with marked rings showing range/bearings coming up on the map. Learn to map-plot properly! :p j/k

Keep editing the file - or even better just make yourself a little JSGME mod to enable on top of mine - I won't be changing maps.cfg again

PM if you like.
That'd be great! You can never have too many tutorials so thanks for the offer. Yes please go ahead and will put a link to it in the first post of this thread if you don't mind!

Finally, @Castout - thanks!
