Radio Room Pulldown Map

[Johnfb]

Here is a small mod to add a pull-down chart showing a world grid map for use in the radio message room.
This allows you to pull down a chart when a message comes in showing grid refs in it. Grid map pulls down the exact same way as the konvoy map in the Navmap screen.

Just for a nice look to the screen and saves you looking on the nav map for the grid ref in the message.

Hope you like it, please let me know if you do.

The map I made is full screen 1024 when pulled down completely (if you wish to) but you can adjust the size to suit you just adjust the menu too as in the read me attached in the mod section now)

Full readme in the rar file along with gridmap tga

Looks like a good idea. Where is the download friend?

Uploaded in Mod section now.

This is the second version of my Radio Message screen gridmap pulldown.
I found the first one to be too big for my liking as it covered the message when pulled down completely, so I have changed the size to 512 x 1024 which makes the map fit in the screen without covering the note pad on the right.

If you are using this; just copy and paste the menu code ( in readme and below in this post) to overwrite existing pulldown map code, or simply type in the new sizes in exisiting line of code.... and insert the new gridmap2.tga into your layout folder to overwrite the first one I made.

New file also has Eagle stamp in top right hand and a GRIDMAP tab on bottom right.

Enjoy
