Newbie question(s) about menu_1024_768.ini

Pos file:

The first two numbers represent the starting point of the object in terms of x and y respectively. The second two numbers represent the number of pixels to extend the field of the object in terms of x and y respectively.

in your example

Start at across 606, down 769 and stretch across414 and down 42

This is relative to the position of the parent id, and it is easy to make a basic mistake that could end up with the object off the screen completely.

I'd start by making very small changes relative to a known object and see how it moves around, slowly nudging it to where you want it.

Crop:

The numbers are expressing a percentage of the tga image that is to be cropped. You can selcet the navigator of photoshop to express your location in terms of percentage.

If you are adding images, it's easiest to make it a separate tga for each image and write Cop 0=0,0,1,1

I'd remove the vertslide function too, adding it last once you have everything else sorted
