Full screen nav map?

I've read something about a file that displays under there, but can't for the life of me remember which one it was... leer something maybe?

That's why the Leer.tga is there, to my knowledge the navmap size is set.

Have never tried changing to full screen, may give it a go later but tied up for now.

Cheers.

Map size can be customized via maps.cfg file - if you look closely at the picture in my previous post you'll see that the map actually displays in 1024x768 with part of it covered by the grey area on the bottom which prevents from using full screen.

So far I've managed to expand the map vertically by about 30 pixels to make better use of the avaible area. I've also made the map tools bar, chronometer and compass rose hide a bit further.

Default map:

Expanded map:

I don'T see the diff!
Care to compare!:hmm:

30 pixels ain't much but it's just to prove that nav map size can be changed. Below's a comparison picture.

If you can expand it by 30 pixels what would it look like full ? would the objects be distorted badly ? that may be the payoff, keeping the aspect ratio means having to use the leer, if we could get wide screen modes then full screen would be ok, otherwise to keep aspect with full vertical would mean loss of data left & right (horizontal). However if you can put up a full (vertical) screen map view, would be interesting to see!
