Post by Ghostlypickel »

I want to make a custom mainmenu and UI i.e. the pregame lobby. Are there any tutorials on how to do this?

I think its impossible make your own mainmenu, u have to mod it, like the Killtrocity Map pack's Mainmenu, However, Extract mainmenu bitmaps on DotHalo or Entity and edit it on photoshop or gimp, using Menu Menu Menu App by Prey (Check it out here), with this, you can add new maps to the mainmenu without any hex editing and the 1337 option to remove the repulsive blue filter and make it like orange, anyways, if you wanna feel the like a 'new mainmenu', get the killtrocity map pack's clean mainmenu or make your own like i've said before

Thanks,

When I said make my own I meant skinning. But this is very helpful thank you.

You can edit the mainmenu, i made 3 plugins for it, skin( buttons), wgit (windows) and wgil (globals settings)

Can't make a tutorial about it, i suggest you to start with wgit, you just go to the tags such as "main_menu" or "start_screen" and you can move bitmaps around with X and Y coord swap the bitmaps, change the text colors, font type etc just read and test
