SMALL COMPASS mod

First download the following two files, and install them into your current UI directory (overwrite files):
http://members.cox.net/jcs0001/EQUI_CompassWnd.xml
http://members.cox.net/jcs0001/window_pieces04.tga

Second open your EQUI_Animations.xml file that is in your current UI directory and,
REPLACE THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Code:


<!-- Compass art -->

	<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassStrip">
		<Frames>

		<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>0</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>180</CX>
				<CY>24</CY>
			</Size>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>

	<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassOverlay">
		<Frames>

		<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>24</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>98</CX>
				<CY>24</CY>
			</Size>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>

With this modified code:

Code:


<!-- Compass art -->

	<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassStrip">
		<Frames>
			<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>0</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>180</CX>
				<CY>24</CY>
			</Size>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>

	<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassOverlay">
		<Frames>
			<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>24</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>35</CX>
				<CY>24</CY>
			</Size>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>

sorry if this isnt all neat and tidy, but my current UI is a hodgepodge of miscellaneous and custom UI mods.

following my instructions here will ensure that this mod works will ALL mods.

I am eager to hear input on this, cause i personally thought the new compass was just too big.
