Me and dec are working on a new main menu and im wondering what you guys think so far and im also looking for your inputs for ideas on other aspects of the menu.

The halomods sign spins. The sign still needs some work.

Lookin good

i plan on trying to make the menu look completely different. Move things around, new skinning to menus, the works. Also better gametype support in quick options and normal editing to reduce the need for things like sav3r.

How about some custom animations for the elite and masterchief in the profile editor?

btw, is that a custom bsp?

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 5:20 pm

Its not a custom bsp, is just the top of the spire of the main menu. As for custom jmad, what do you think would be a good animation for the players to be doing? Only thing i can think of would be walking/running.

add a faded masterchief helmet o the bottom left of the screen. Make the helmet large so it takes up the whole bottom corner.

than add an elite on the top right faded

for the elite maybe the idle animation it has where its smelling the air or w/e it's doing
i dont know about the chief though

How about having the chief holding the H1 assault rifle. Shouldn't be that hard. Just a different spawn permutation. Then maybe have him running or walknig with it (if walking make him look pimp like in the Halo 3 commercial).

i would probably need to rotate the elite a little bit depending on teh animation.

Ahh that's awesome, Turk.

yup, the bipds have to be rotated. The chief, when walking, holds his BR in front of his face in an aiming manner so i have to rotate him or get his gun down. Elite ill leave up to you guys since i gave him the posing animation. ill get a recording of it in a little bit.

lol i remember dec showing me a gif of the halomods sign spinning on coagulation.

you guys should put in some text animation. like a scrolling highlight of the text when that certain option is being selected. so it looks like the text is being highlighted but in a wavy motion. if that even makes sense.

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 6:25 pm

video is processing on youtube as i post this. I will edit the post once it finishes. it shows teh spinning menu, and the bipds animations.

If you make this a FUNCTIONAL modded main menu (meaning new functions built in..) I will so adopt it as my FavMM.

Looking really really good, just dont gorget to skin those blue parts too.. other than that,

thats just plain awsome

DJ_Gnomey · Post by **DJ_Gnomey** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 7:31 am

Great job. And indeed, the sign is really cool but I understand you have to fix the blacking out of the sign...

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 8:28 am

yeah, the sign is getting to be a pain. I might just have to move the camera around so it doesnt show that. As for the forgetfulness part i didnt forget, i just went to bed

. The menu will be skinned a different color eventually, im just looking into other things right now like whether or not making the menus transition different looks good. Also i take it it's safe to say you like the elite with the animations like that?

Does anyone know where the darn "A accept B cancel" thing is located? I havent found it yet. Im temped just to edit the string and null it cause its in the way of the quick option menu now that i got it to scroll right.
