Menu System stuff

[Stwa 18]

I like messin with WOE...

 

Here are some menu system mods, not any big deal, but kinda show the open architecture of game.

 

First shot is main WOE screen, second shot shows user mousing over an A4 cockpit for info.

Certainly,

 

1. The cockpit screen code is below. Notice it uses the Planning Map Screen, the Credits Screen DLL, and the code disables music, and the scrolling text normally encountered when using a Credits Screen.

 

2. A Cockpit Image (user screenshot) cropped to 512 x 512 bytes is displayed on the background Planning Map image.

 

3. Hotspots are defined for all the guages. And the guage description is displayed as info text when the user mouses over the guage.
