The required PDA images

May 21, 2006 jexkerome link
Working on info mr_spuck so diligently dug up from the game (seriously, spuck, major kudos), here is the info for the missing PDA images. Spuck, Devs, if I make a SNAFU here feel free to post and whack me over the head about it.

BUTTONS:

The new station buttons are called "check_bg" (the square box), "check" (the checked box, or maybe just the mark) and "check_disable" (the grayed-out square box). Since I wanted my buttons to remain the same, I made copies of the button files and renamed them as such:

button ---------> check_bg
int_radio_on ---> check
button_greyed --> check_disabled

The old button files remain, and they become the pda buttons without need to change their names.

PDA OUTER IMAGES
Basically, the "root" images for the station can be used for this. The names change somewhat; again, I just made copies and renamed them.

root_border ------> pda_root_border_full
root_tab_border --> pda_root_tab_border
root_tab_left ----> pda_root_tab_left
root_tab_right ---> pda_root_tab_right
root_tab_sel -----> pda_root_tab_selected

All of the "border" files should have the 100% transparency at the center elimintated, or you will get "holes" in the PDA. Test it without touching the transparencies to see what I mean.

PDA INNER IMAGES
The same as above, this time using the "commerce" images instead. Again, the "borders" should have the center transparency corrected.

commerce_tab_fullborder ------> pda_sub_border_full
commerce_tab_sel1 ------------> pda_sub_tab1_sel
commerce_tab_bgcolor ---------> pda_sub_tab_bg
commerce_tab_border ----------> pda_sub_tab_bottom
commerce_tab_listbox_border --> pda_sub_tab_listbox_border
commerce_tab_right -----------> pda_sub_tab_right

Again, these files were all copied before being renamed; none was simply renamed or deleted.

Correct, Jex. Nice job and, again, kudos to spuck for digging out the file names.

Hmm, I thought Ray posted a new skin pack with the changes, but I don't see it.

mdaniel, I made the same mistake. Make sure you have the original buttons too. ie, have the pda and the regular buttons, don't just change the name.
