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

[Jeevz]

I'm showing the old SH4 message log on the right side of the screen above the SH5 message log on both this and the 3 dials mod. Any way to get rid of that besides just moving it mostly off the screen?

interesting. I don't see it. What screen res are you using?

1680 x 1050, here's a screen

And if you don't mind me asking, what texture files would I have to modify to make a new compass graphic? Call me crazy but I like the new interface apart from the missing compass and I want to make one that fits with the new style.

easiest way is to use the built in menu editor and go to the page layout page. Then go to the Group Feedback menu and you'll see heading and rudder under it. Those entries will list the TGA/DDS files it's using.

Thanks, I'll try it this weekend.

Got a SH4 type UI working. It's about 75% functional. See under my 3 dials thread. Might have a new UI here VERY soon.

anyone still interested in this single dial (compass) mod? If so, I'll make a new version based off of my new 3 dials one so that you get all the functionality of the 3 dials with only the compass/rudder (both states of dial!).
