[REL] JTxE - Textenabler to merge lines in ini-Files

Unless Jimimadrid can make program magic for **.txt files!

Update: It works for menu.txt files. I just had to open up on **ini files in SH4 when I had more time.

Okay guys this thread is getting a bit off base.

First off -- I'm a C# developer doing some nasty server based stuff so editing a little PY file was nothing for me.

I cleaned off the install of SH5, reinstalled the patches I wanted, and now I'm off.

I have my icons and they are not going away. (before I couldn't get them even with mouse over!!!) Not only that but I now have Automation Scripts. Yeah. Heading out of Keil now.

Sorry, I didn't notice your post before, Mike.

Nice little tool by the way. I Didn't know about it. Thank you for pointing me to it

Do you think it would be easier for them copying/pasting the lines manually? I wanted to make the process more simple for the average user

Yes, obviously it is but, unless you mind it, I don't see the problem: tomorrow or the day after tomorrow it will be lost anyway in a million of similar posts, and no one will notice the slight OT

No problem. What the heck!! Jimimadrid was recently active, 9-23, so I sent him a PM just now to see if he can help out.

Update: I used it quite a bit in SH4, I just checked my SH4 ini_mods folder with its' file contents. Not only does it merge entries for menu_1024_768.ini, but also merges entries for names.cfg, JPGunBoat01.cfg and dials.cfg

Why not have the ability to merge another kind of text file then, such menu.txt?

Well if anyone notices this in this thread:

I have NewUI working with icons showing. But when I use the measure tool and one or two others the tool cursor is high and left of the actual position!! I tried numerous equipment fix patches but none have fixed it yet. What file fixes this? Back when I couldn't see anything and installed the order by sober it id not do this.

So the symptoms are definitely different now than in post #19?

Give us a mod list for the section of New UIs related mods. A picture may help with horizontal and vertical positioning.
Not sure if you are having a problem with the main mod , or New UIs 7 X X RadCapTools_0_2_alpha or New UIs 7 X X jimimadrids_map_tools. If optional mods then maybe not installed properly (multiple folders?). Have you rechecked your entries in the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py?

No minding at all. Glad to see something I ask lead to such a discussion.
