ok i have questions with overlays. I downloaded the tutorial but I am still having isues. Are the hudleft and hud right.fel the files I want to edit to move overlay positioning' Which line do I edit to move the overlays? Do I have to move multiple lines the same amount to get it to line up? If so what are those lines? Also if I have everything they way I want it and I want to change the image size i.e. just make it longer is their a way to keep the positioning the same while making the image bigger.

thanks

Look for the lines that contain sout & scr2 as seen below in red. Those are the two files that make up the main overlay graphic. Remember there are multiple lines for both and any changes must be made to all lines.

SH:GREYGRID,1,0,0,5,640,18,1,1,1,1,4,sout,sout,1,0,0,255,0,100,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0

SH:PIPSH5,1,0,0,5,640,18,1,1,1,1,0,scr2,scr2,1,0,0,255,0,100,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0

Thanks for the help Trues. I understand this part but what I dont understand is how that makes it size i.e. in your custom overlay the sout is 2048 x 64 I dont see how that translates into 228,4,184,76 in the fel file. That is where I am having my trouble.

Remember, the overlay screens in MVP are based on a screen size of 640x480. I make the images much larger to get hi-res quality. Then you have to resize it via the fel files to fit on the 640x480 screen.

In my example above, the 640,18 is where you set the size.

Hope this helps.

I'll give it a try. So in lahman's terms. If I have an image that is 100 x 100 and I want it to display at 1/2 size in the game I would set those 2 numbers to 50,50 and I am assuming the other numbers are its position.

thanks again

ok I need a little bit more help please, I have pretty much everything positioned where I want it. I just can't figure out how to resize the image I am using for the overlay. when I change any numbers in the sout, src2 lines it crashes. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. How do I determine what numbers to input to make my image fits?
