UI editing

[Caid]

I need to know all you guiys can tell me about editing the Menu system
can i create my own menu structure?
where are the files for the gfx?

things i wanna do - change player model selection to gun model selection (there's only pone gun in EG:BW so i wanted to make it so that players could choose between weapons)

I've only managed to change curtain things in the in-game HUD and an extra keyboard button-action (toggle HUD on/off).

I'm still trying to figure out how to change every aspect of the main menu...

Anyway, if you'd like to try the changes I made, add the following lines to "Scripts/Game_startup.ini":

hud_fOpacity = 0.8;
hud_fScaling = 0;
hud_tmWeaponsOnScreen = 0;
hud_iColor = 25500;
plr_fFOV = 100;

This should turn the HUD blue & swell :biggrin:

To add a Toggle HUD option in the Customize Keys section, add these lines to your "Controls/Controls#.ctl" (You should open this file in Wordpad, not notepad):

Button
Name: TTRS Toggle HUD
Key1: H
Key2: None
Pressed: *hud_bShowInfo = !hud_bShowInfo;
Released: ;

If someone knows how to change everything in the menus please let me know!

The HUD can be completely customized through the code SDK (when its released).  Menu textures and fonts can be easily replaced, as well as console textures.

I hope so because our mod will need the UI to switch classes so I hope it isn't overly difficult

When editing the tex/fnt's for the fonts : what is the format for the FNT files? A .tex I can create from the modeler, but what is the way to define all new fnt's?

Never mind, Makefont.exe looks very promising ... :cool:
