Blessed Altar Mod release 2.0.0

[Dinosaur]

Hi all, Dinosaur here. Yesterday I published BAM version 2.0.0 tested on 14.6. I have added and expanded menu options with over 200 new Abilities and Weapon Specials. along with other minor cosmetic changes and enhancements. Check it out

I had been hesitant to release because there was one thing I was having trouble with and for the life of me I can't find a solution to.
I would like to be able to reposition many of the menu options to the left side of the display screen in order to remove that 1/3 of wasted space and show more of the description without scrolling right. There must be an easy command or positioning attribute for these Options somewhere but I can't seem to find it in the reference documents. I looked into pango commands but they seems to refer to text between the quotes not the positioning of the total display. I even tried the image_pos=right but it had no effect at all.

If anyone knows this coding trick or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for you Help!!!

I don't know if this would work, but did you try setting the menu image to a dummy 1px width image?

[Dinosaur]

Thank you for responding ... I have not seen this. Do mean something like "image=dummy" along with some mysterious px=1? If I could accomplish this it would greatly improve the readability of all of these menus..... I will search the wml reference again. Thanks for you help... Dinosaur

I meant try creating a new transparent 1x1 px image with gimp, or maybe even try to scale the existing 72x72 misc/blank-hex.png to 1px like so:

Code: Select all

image=misc/blank-hex.png~SCALE(1,1)

I don't know if either would work, but you can try.

Edit: I just tried SCALE(1,1) on my mod and it worked, the menu width stayed small and without the star image.

Thank you, vghetto OK... I've been playing around with your suggestion for several hours now and unfortunately had marginal success.

I was able to remove the image on the top most [message] and may even have shrunk it but the text did not move to the left as I had hoped. In fact almost all of my [option] text entries have a smaller cropped image in front of the text which I want to keep. It's that big space on the left that I am trying to remove. So I figure that the solution must be relative to the top most [message] tag level but I can't find any attributes in WML reference which deals with positioning, of what is termed as the text field, in the overall message.

So I will continue to play with this for a while.

Thanks again, Dinosaur

Ah, I misunderstood your request. I thought you you were talking about [set_menu_item] and its width. Never mind me then.

vghetto, I understand, Pewhaps I should try posting this question in the coding category. In any event, I greatly appreciate your response.
Thanks again, Dinosaur
