Can you help me find my Chronograph?

Attention menu_1024_768.ini guru's

I am running Ducimus' excellent Trigger Maru 1.6 mod with the 1.6.2 patch.

When I press 'X' on my keyboard this should bring up the Stevens watch, right?

I think, based on another post somewhere, that due to my ultra-high resolution (2650x1600), that my chronograph is popping up offscreen somewhere.

Can someone tell me what to edit in the menu_1024_768.ini file so I can change the position where this pops up? I need pretty specific instructions since my 'modding skillz' are almost nil.

This also appears to happen with the Conversion Chart popup...when I click the button it doesnt show up on the screen anywhere.

Thanks.

I must have asked more than I thought...

After looking through the [TEC] Tutorial: Deconstructing the menu_1024_768.ini file items by Zamboni, I'm fairly certain I don't think I can figure out how to move these two items the watch and the conversion chart into view...especially since I can't even figure out where in the 1024_768.ini file they exist

So one more chance for this thread before it disappears into forum oblivion.....anybody help me?

Not an expert on anything but why not switch to a lower resolution, move the items to the center of the screen and then switch back to your original resolution?

Fire a torpedo

Did ratcheting back the resolution help?

Thanks for your replies guys!

When I turn the resolution down they do appear normally. I did take and center them both on the screen, save the game, switch the resolution back up...and they do not reappear

Unfortunately I am fairly certain I have to mod my menu_1024_768.ini file to change their default positions on the screen (where they appear). However...I'm a computer hardware guy, not a software one...and I don't even know where to begin to look for the watch and conversion chart items...

Fortunately life for me does not end by not having the watch and conversion chart in the game, but any help is appreciated

Here is another curve-ball....In the stock game (1.3) with Trigger Maru 1.6.2 disabled (I use no other mods) the watch appears normally, even at the highest resolution...

?

Are you seeing the entire screen in both resolutions or is it cropped, so to speak?
