This Program came at the exact right time!!!

Post by Karlos »

I'm almost too speechless for words!

I might be pushing this a bit, but I think this should be "Host" to a whole new section of "Utility of the Month / Outstanding Utilities"...

This program has just saved me the enormous stress of the longwinded way of getting your own Preview Images into the mainmenu.map...

Thanks a bunch! :D

Regards,

Karlos

Well, thanks everyone. I was fairly reluctant at first to release this, I considered keeping it for myself to avoid the oh-so-common flamings that happen to people's first released mods, but I'm now glad I went ahead and shared it. Glad you guys like it.

Someone should sticky - (add to tut or something) this because im getting a lot of PMs telling me how to add previews and what line to hex. Its taking me a while to explain to them, im hesitant to make a tut because of your wonderful mainmenu. :D (saves time/pain its just nice). Maybe I can make one on the basics.

-by the way karlos did this solve your problem, I finally saw your PM and I was suprised how many there were on this issue. This should fix everybodies problem with adding a preview.

Nah, sPPFs, Bitmap Internalizers, etc, are all as useful as this, and they don't have their own stickies do they?

Yeah guess that's right.

Maybe we should have some sort of useful patches thread or something?

Mainly it'd be the Easy SLC Fixer patches, and a main menu like this, except also has secondary heavy selectable.

Doesn't that take over the Motion Sensor option though? That's why I haven't gotten it, anyways.

I think he said a way you could fix that, and that was a glitch.

2.Patch with shade patch 1.
3. Patch with shade patch 2.

Yes it certainly did! It made the whole process a breeze, and if anyone else has the same problems that I did, then this patch is all you need! :D

To save a 32 bit bitmap for use on the mainmenu, you need these dds settings
