use this code for your image :

[G31 Ix]
Name=name it as you like
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=-------------
ParentID=------------
Pos=X,Y,A,B
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=2
Mat 0=path for your image/NameOfyourImage.tga
Crop 0=0,0,1,1
MatFlags=0x29
TexFmt=0x9
Drag=true
BmpState=1
NeedFocus=true
SelOne=true
IdGroup=0
StatesColors=0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF

pay attention at the 'pos' line to put the A , B of your image . the X,Y values will put your image on the screen and , as this image is dragable, you don't have to make it 1024x768. you will drag it and place it wherever you want when it is time to use it

Please tell me it was this easy all along...ahhh ...all those hours messing about with this freaking thing.....I will try this solution and get back to you, hopefully with a new draggable map for download in mod section...hopefully.

When I make the see through drag map will the map showing the see through Ireland and England "fit" over the nav map Ire and Eng at same scale do you think?

Thanks so much for the solution, very much appreciated...

Well I had done something similar to this a while ago, but had made the PSP picture and then the tga the same size.
I thought that mackman had the answer by making the PSP picture its own size so to speak, and then making the menu one it own size.

So I made the menu one 1095 x 680 as in the JFO mode as this obviously worked in that mod, but as you can see the results were the same as always...I must be missing something....



As you can see the drag-able seethru map is smaller than the original it was taken from...






I have outlined the seethru map to show what I mean, its way too small at the same scale.






Also the image has "split" and has an extra bit on the end as can be seen from the extra Scotland at the bottom
This is obviously the size of my tga????







Any suggestions anyone ?????

the above was not a suggestion , it is what you have to do.
for example , try this image :




and set at the above code this:

Pos=X,Y,890,625 (890x625 are the dimensions of the above image)

follow the steps and you will have no problem
