The code that I added to the menu.ini file is as follows :

Basically, I added the new [G38 I7] section, made a few changes in the old [G38 I7] (which is now the [G38 I8] and increased the rest of the chapter numbers to reflect the insertion (i.e. old [G38 I7] became [G38 I8]). I also added some graphical work to allow for a fourth shell type and idenifying the AA and SS shells.
The button still shows up, but doesn't function as it should. I'm still thinking that the game is not looking for any menu id associated with the star shell and that is why it isn't working. But I've gotten in trouble for thinking before:rotfl: , so someone please prove me wrong and get it to work
I've uploaded the work I've done so far to
http://files.filefront.com/Shell+Mod.../fileinfo.html . This include the menu.ini changes, the graphic work for the additional shell (and identifying the AA and SS shells) and the .sim files for all three guns with 50 star shells.
If anyone can get this button to function, it would be wonderful. If not, then we can just insert the star shell id for the AA, relabel the AA shell to SS and make the changes necessary to have the shells loaded for all the guns. If that is the case, though, that means that there would be no way to use the AA shels later in the war, so a little trade-off is necessary.
