the above entries are describing a group that the user can add texts to captain's diary.

a few entries lower ,at entry number 9 , there is this :

[G35 I9]
Type=1032;Button
ItemID=0x35000006
ParentID=0x35000000
Pos=851,156,155,138
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=4
Display=3;Middle
Font=0
Text=4025
TextFlags=0x15
StatesColors=0xFFFFFFFF, 0x555555FF, 0xDD5800FF, 0xDD5800FF

the above entry is discribing a button which is called ''Add Log Entry'' (text number 4025 at menu.cfg) and it is the button that is enabling the above group for adding texts to diary.

this button is not appearing on user's screen (all the other buttons in this page are appearing normaly) so it is obvious that devs have forced ,via the hardcoded files, this button to be hidden probably becuase the code for this button is unfinished or broken.

can any of the 'hardcode guys' (Stiebler , H.sie ,Reaper7 , TDW) have a look at the code for this button and see if can be 'healed' ? maybe,if we are lucky and it is a 'small' task, we will be able to add texts at the captain's log
