Hi.

Question 1: Is it possible to replace the zoom feature with a graphic with would resemble a telescope view?

Question 2: I was just playing a battle, and I sent a courier asking support my location, and I had no clue where I was, so is it possible too create a feature when you hold down a key you would see the locations of the map appear before you instead of having to jump to the map to get your bearings?

Later.

1. I would say it might be possible.. Now that multiple commands can be combined in the keyboard.csv, you could have a telescope screen come up with you hit the Z key.

2. That could be pretty useful but would more than likely fall into the too gamey category. When you ask for support to your location, if the commander responds he will send support to your location.. It has nothing to do with the locations on the map.

Hmmm, okay thanks.

The gamey thing again . So I guess having chat alert bubbles appear over the mp characters heads when they text is out of the question then?

Thanks Little Powell.

Hi.

Okay I've been reading through the SDK manual, and it's not telling me much. Here is the way I would see it happening, but this would be wrong since I'm only guessing.

Zoom,Z,zoom,img=scope.png,,,,

Of course the the img=scope.png is only an example. Would the graphics have to be in dds format to work?
