MagUI Questions

Thanks for the info!

Yeah I'm gradually figuring it out on my own by digging.
Who knows...I may release my own supermod some day.

I have been digging around in the directories you mentioned but haven't found it yet. I've opened the editor with SH5 to glance at it but haven't done that with SH3 yet.

I also saw somewhere on these forums some stuff I'm after to modify might be packed in the exe.
There's so much info and so many threads here these forums can be a bit overwhelming to navigate. Even with using the search feature.

I'll look for that menu.ini guide. Thanks!!!

Quick search tip if you're not aware of it already: Some members prefer to use google to search these forums as it can bring more relevant results. Just search for instance SH3 with your other keywords and then write "site:subsim.com", without the "".

To make the map larger than 1024x768 you need to apply TychoSh3Patch. In it's thread Tycho gives information about editing maps.cfg to make it larger. You also may need to edit menu_1024x768.ini to make the map page look good.

Regards

Been there, done that. If you can find those threads I'd greatly appreciate it. I haven't been able to find the answer to my question.

Thanks. Yes, I've seen that thread.

If the images were still there I might have the answer I'm looking for.
Are you saying to apply just the patch to the vanilla version? That's something I didn't try.

Applying the patch is a requirement but it is not enough. I have not tried to edit MaGUI like that but I guess you can edit maps.cfg to make the map larger. The problem is that it will probably be above the wooden table MaGUI has and it will look bad.
