Mod Idea Need Some Assistance

brett25 · 03-08-12, 12:00 AM

Hi friends,

I have had a mod idea for a while and I would realy like to get it into being. The mod is to have dozens of mouse over text all over the sub (including in FM interior as well) which will highlight the various technical parts of the sub. On those long patrols it would be fun to gradually learn what all those pipes and levers and valves on your boat are used for

could anyone point me in the direction of where these text overs are stored and what file controls them. Im familiar with the various file formats and what they affect, and have used the S3d editor, so a little direction would go along way. I cant seem to pin down where this aspect of the game is controlled. Once I get the technical down, I will begin the process of applying my detailed research on the type 7c to crating the textovers.

thanks much

yeah its a tricky one, something perhaps to do with focusobj, and maybe menui.ini, i cant seem to find the file where the text is stored. I hope its not impossible to do, but judging by the dirth of replies, maybe so
