Help with Map Modification...

Orion2012 · 08-22-08, 12:39 AM

What I'm trying to do is add the night filter back to the OLC GUI Special Mod. I managed to get the dark tones removed from the map, but now when it is night on my nav map, I just get a corner (where the moon icon was in the original mod) of the map shaded red. I looked in the maps.cfg file to resize the texture but saw no refrences in the file.

Here's a picture

Also was there a night filter on the attack map with the mod as it was, its been 2-3 months since I've played Sh3..

Anyone have some advice??

Edit: In case there is any questions, these modifications are just to suit my own taste, not to be re-released in any way shape or form.

The size of the night filter texture on the nav map can be modified by editing the appropriate entry in menu_1024_768.ini. Search that file for the name of the TGA image.

IIRC, there has never been a night filter on the attack map in any version of SH3.

P.S. You can release it if you want - doesn't bother me.

Appreciate the help OLC, and if anyone expresses interest I would have no problem releasing it.

Thanks Redwine, keeps me from having to guess!

So, I've tried editing the menu.ini file back to both what it says for night filter before enabling the OLC GUI, and now I don't have any kind of Night filter, not even the small corner as in the picture above.

Edit: Had an "o" instead of "0" in the position indicator.....

Hello,

I was just looking for information on how to change just that in OLC Special and I found your topic, therefore I would be interested in getting your map night filter mod. Could you put some link to download, if possible?

Thank you.

PS I was wondering which was exactly the problem with the night filter in the attack scope view too. I wonder if it is so awful that I could not live with it (I liked very much the change of mood that the red light gave).
