Ladder size controls

49rTbird · Post by **49rTbird** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 4:15 pm

How do I mod the pitch ladder to make it seem bigger or closer? It interferes with my Alt,Grv, etc readings so I want to make it move away from the center in all directions. I know that other hud reading locations and size can be changed so how about this one?

could you just scale up the image and shadow image to make it bigger?

Good question, I'll try that.

Nope, changed from 1030x1030 to 1200x1200 with no effect.

I need to find my HUDTEXT line definition list.

Sorry I wasn't being clear . . . I meant increase the size of the ladder but keep the canvas size the same; increase the picture size to 1200x1200 and then crop the canvas size back down to 1030x1030 again so that you have in effect magnified the image within the canvas rather than just made the whole image a bit bigger - presumably the programme just scales the file to fit - I've used background starmaps of a variety of sizes varying between 800x800 and 2000x2000 and they all are made to fit

good luck

Thanks for that last as I only know enough

to get into trouble. I used Paint Pro this time and it gave me both options you mentioned and now it looks lots better. Thanks again.
