Bigger Better Protractors

White Owl · 08-16-11, 02:06 PM

Hello all. I'm very new to the game and this forum, but have already greatly enjoyed several of your excellent mods. You've improved my game, so here's a big thank you very much; I'll try to return the favor.

The Bigger Better Protractors mod changes the map tool large mouse cursors for the course plotter, ruler, and protractor. The new cursors are approximately twice as large as the originals, with higher contrast for better readability. The protractor and ruler are very similar in layout to the originals, but I changed the course plotter to have a usable radial scale for more accurate plotting.

Bigger Better Protractors is JSGME ready and should be compatible with most other mods. If there is a conflict, check out the readme for a possible workaround.

I've been using these cursors on my 1680x1050 monitor, and they work well at that resolution. Larger resolutions should also be good, but smaller resolutions may not. Here they are on my screen. (Nav Map Makeover mod by Nbjackso)

And here are two separate download links.
