New TS-FS Menu [TS]

OmegaBolt · Last edited by OmegaBolt on Mon Mar 22, 2010 12:08 am; edited 4 times in total

Couple of menus I did today. Not really sure what to do with them, but I'd like your opinions. I prefer the second because of it's icey blue scheme.

EDIT: Ok, they're now released! The download includes two mixes, gmenu and expand99. gmenu contains the menu pcxs, the ini and two new menu selection sound effects while expand99 has the menu transition VQAs, the loading screen and dbak pcx. Just stick them in the folder and they should work.

P.S. if you don't have Firestorm it still works, except the "Go Back" button won't do anything.

Whoa, nice menus. IMO the first one is better.

Simplistic but very well done Smile

The Firestorm text doesn't look right tho, the black outline is inconsistent & draws my eyes in random directions.

Lol, I know. I'll probably fix it.

Here's the TS-FS selection screen with FS selected. The logo (TS/FS) appears at the top once one is selected.

Wow, very nice. I'd certainly put these to good use! Very Happy

One tip though: the selection is a bit plain, I suggest adding some text of wich icon is wich.

I don't know about the "Choose you Allegence" since Vinilla and Firestorm aren't really "Allegences".

Looks very good, but the menu's alone seem to lack colour... Like it's just brownish or just blueish. I'm not keen on the fonts for "campaign" and "skirmish" but they are by no means bad at all. You've done a very good job Smile

Is there a way to make VQAs?

Darkstorm · Commander **Joined**: 20 Jan 2008 **Location**: Texas

I believe so, just don't know how.

Does absolutely nothing when I click "Go!". #Tongue

I've never used it myself so I have no idea what could be wrong. It's the only VQA converter I know of tho :/

I've used it, but IIRC, it doesn't work on Vista for some reason.

Yeah, I can confirm that. First time I used it was in XP and it worked perfectly fine... Then a while later after I installed Vista I had to use it again (to make DTA's intro) and it just wouldn't work.

Alright fixed it.

The menus are now up for download! Including two new button selecting sounds (thanks to Hyper for conversion) and menu transition VQAs which I personally animated frame by frame. Bloody enjoy. #Tongue

(could someone move this to the SHP section (I guess))

Can I just drop these into the TS directory and go? Also, is there one for the multiplayer blue window that comes up when changing maps and stuff?

Yes just drop it in. I also did replace the blue background... well actually its recoloured green, since it has to be shared between both TS and FS.

Wow Omega, congratulations. This is just freaking awesome.

Morpher · General **Joined**: 28 Jan 2005

Excellent work, a nice contribution.

I'm not sure if possible, but it would be cool if the animation would play reversed whenever you click "Go Back". Also, I wish you had made a version of bigger resolution so I wouldn't have to bother about the thick black edges #Tongue

I thought about the "Go Back" vid, but don't think it can be done. Also dont think any higher res can be done.

it's to bad they didnt have this same setup for RA2/YR.

The back button is linked to the same anim, but couldnt you just take that same anim, reverse the frames, rename it, and link it to it?

The back button will not init any VQA playback, but i have put it in my patch.

They look both really great, good work.

I'm surprised I'm yet to comment on these. Absolutely brilliant work, some of the best custom GUI I've seen for TS in a very long time. Good job!

This is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous ingame.

Wouldn't be too much to ask for a more fitting menu bar (those little bars with text on them) and new loadscreens, is it? It looks gorgeous, but when I go onto Westwood online, its painful to be greeted by garish neon green font and out of place metal bars underneath.
