Anyone Recall How To Minimize Left Hand Panel?

[Seminole]

This wasn't so much of a mod as a couple of line changes to one of the CFG files. This would reduce the left hand sliding panel down to 1 pixel or so that it was entirely out of view.

I couldn't turn up anything via Search and the entries in the Mod listing threads that looked as if they might have the info are all coming up as "topic no longer exists."


So if anybody does have this info....TIA!

Its been a long time since I've looked at this issue... however I think the following text alteration/REPLACEMENT in your 1024 Cfg should do the trick.

Please back up your original 1024 Cfg first.

[G3F I21]
Name=Group shortcuts
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F020000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=-1,761,56,474
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
HorizSlide=-30

This should hide the left hand menu bar and continue to allow it to slide out.

I think the correction is:
POS=1(not-1),761,56,474
Horizslide=-56(not-30)

this is in the G3F I21 block in the file
ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Data\menu\1064_768

Cool. Thanks Irish1958

So apparently, if you want to copy and paste this info... it should look like this :

[G3F I21]
Name=Group shortcuts
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F020000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=1,761,56,474
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
HorizSlide=-56

I use static settings.cfg in SH3 Commander 2.6 beta. Done somewhat differently in 2.5 but you get the idea... I hate having to muck with 500 versions of menu_1024_768.ini so I put as much as possible in SH3cdr...

;Set left menu bar to 1 pixel

Ah...thats the one. Many thanks.

I saved it in a notepad txt doc for the longest time....but when I needed it the thing had disappeared. No doubt to carelessness on my part.

This is also a nice little tweek

Change the menu scrolling speed by editing data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini

Near the top is the entry -

[Settings]
SlidingSpeed=200;pixels per second

I have my speed set at 800 and it moves nice and fast
