[REL] quick fix to add SH3 style compass to interface

[TheDarkWraith]

Title says it all. A quick fix to add a workable SH3 style compass to your interface. At least you'll know which way you're heading and you can order up specific headings. It's not perfect, it was a quick fix to get something up. I'm still working on sorting this mess they call a supposed game out

EDIT:

to change placement of the dial:

edit the 'Page layout.ini' (\data\Menu\Pages) file, to place it in a better location for you. You want to edit this:

[G3F I2]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=512,-710,512,58
Zone= 512 58 512 58 0 1 0x3F000000 0.3 -1 0x3F010000 -1 1 0 0

The red line controls placement. The 0.3 value is what you want to change to move it horizontally (values < 0.3 move it left, > 0.3 move it right - use small increments as these are like %s of the total value! - values like 0.05 increments to start). The -1 value right after it you would change to change the vertical position (values < -1 will move it up - use small increments as these are like %s of the total value! - values like 0.05 increments to start). You can probably get it bigger by using a bigger TGA image of the dial.

Can someone completely decipher that Zone= line? I have a very basic understanding of it.

EDIT2:

This dial and the other SH3/4 dials (among other items) are already included in the Page layout.ini file in case anyone was wondering. Even the TGAs were where they were supposed to be. Hell, even the sliding shortcuts (SH3) exist but aren't functional (yet).
