{ REL] Message box background mod

This tweek was in response to a request to see if the background of the crew message box could be made permanently transparent so you would'nt need to use the slider to adjust the opacity all the time.
See this thread...

Here's the solution... as was first presented to this forum on 05-09-2007, from work done by Panthercules,
(the credit is all yours mate, THANKS!)

MESSAGE BOX MOD
INTRUCTIONS: to make message box background transparent
No more need to use the slider

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!..and make sure to thank Panthercules, if you have the time.
