Less slots in select screen

Hi guys,

how can i adjust the select screen so that it has lesser (lets say as half as much) slots which then would be logically double the size. I use the EVE Battle Screenpack and know that i have to change some values in the system.def (and maybe edit some sprites, too), but if have no idea how to do this exactly.

Thanks in advance for any help!

like how many chars do you want
if you want lets say 200
you'll have to edit the rows and colums in the system def to (rows)x(colums)= 200 chars
ie like 20x10
you'll have to resize the cursor, the char holder sprites and the portrait group scale i think as well

I thougt it would be the easiest to just divide the number of slots by four, so that the space which is now used for four slots becomes only one slot. My system.def now says there are 32x38 which should be then 1216 : 4 = 304 slots (minus the space of the portraits but thats ok).
So, lets say 16 rows x 19 columns.

I guess i have to change a lot more things in this section, right?:

rows = 16;32   < already changed
columns = 19;38 < already changed
wrapping = 1
pos = 8,10   ;20
showemptyboxes = 0
moveoveremptyboxes = 0
cell.size = 8,8
cell.spacing = 0
cell.bg.anim  = 1500
cell.random.spr = 151,0
cell.random.switchtime = 4
p1.cursor.startcell = 13,12
p1.cursor.active.spr = 170,0
p1.cursor.done.spr = 171,0
p2.cursor.startcell = 14,25
portrait.offset = 0,0
portrait.scale = .30,.30
title.offset = -50,-50
title.font = 3,0,0

yeah you'll have to look up the sprites and animations which you want to resize in the system sff
portrait scale should be larger if the slots are getting resized bigger

so my suggestion is to fiddle with the cell.size, cell.bg.anim, cell.random.spr, p1 cursor sprites and portrait scale
i dont know how much to resize and adjust but my guess is it should be a factor 4
