modding: how do hands relate to dials?

[Flopper]

Trying to fiddle around with some minor, minor modding. Where is the manual on this?

I see how the dials and needles correspond to each other in menu_1024_768.ini, and was able to "swap out" two dials and their corresponding needles on the screen (the shallow and normal depth guages), but the values are now wrong. It's as if I swapped out the dial face and hands, but left the mechanics behind, so when I'm on the surface, the normal depth guage is reading about 60' instead of 5 or whatever.

Would someone be kind enough where I can find what is controlling the relationship between the values and the objects that are displayed?

Also, if there's a thread on beginning modding, that would be great... I didn't have luck with a search on that. I have silent 3ditor and can barely find my way around.

Thanks!

Look for dials.cfg, Flopper. It's in there!
