Scope Bearing Vertical Position help

ATR-42 · 03-19-08, 04:43 PM

Hey guys,
Ive since taken on porting L3thal and capt cox's former scopes into each patch/update. One small hitch this time...

The German sub attack scope has that upper horizontal line. That line, by a HAIR is just touching the very bottom of the bearing numbers.

What id like to do, is either move that line down, a millimeter or two, OR move the bearing indicator UP a millimeter or two.

Any guidance how i can make the changes to the menu.ini?

Sorry ATR-42 (initials plus meaning of life?) I'd have a look, but I don't have 1.5 installed yet. Instead of moving the image down, could you not edit the periscope mask instead and remove the uppermost line? This would make it more other-MOD friendly.

I could try to edit the mask overlay but im not very good at working with DDS files w/ the little program i have, MW DTXBmp, is very limited. almost like working with paint. if i could scoot the bearing up a hair itd be perfect.

GIMP is a free program that is very powerful and you can also get a DDS plug-in so you can load and save dds files directly into GIMP. You could even use GIMP to save the files as a BMP or a TGA and then use a converter to turn it into a dds file.

EDIT: If you like, you can send me the file and I'll edit it for you.

Paint.net (also free) has native dds support also.
