MESSAGE BOX MOD
INTRUCTIONS: to make message box background transparent

Ok....Go to Data /Menu/ Menu 1024_768 ini...open it up.

Go to this line listed below...

[G3F I249]
Name=Bkgr capture
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=0x3F2A00FF
ParentID=0x3F2A0000
Pos=0,0,350,116
Zone= 256 764 350 116 0 1 0x3F2A0000 0.5 -0.5 0x3F2A00FF -0.5 0.5 0 0
Color=0xFFFFFF80
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/menu/data/black.tga
Crop 0=0,0,0.5,0.5
MatFlags=0x1
TexFmt=0x0

Change the highlighted value to read...
Color=0xFFFFFF00 ;(was 80)

This will change the default message box background opacity to transparent

Cheers!

Haven't quite figured that one out yet...

Would be nice to maybe have it in a shade of red to attract attention.

CANONICUS,
That did it, even though my nubers did not match.....mine was [G3F I249]

There was more than 1 "Name=Bkgr capture".

I wonder what the others were for?
Thank you for that!!
