:P bump
OK i found menu transition stuff and was wondering if anyone would be interested in all teh menus transitioning with the in and out effect, like the quickoptions, over the slide from left and right. Also anyone have any good skinning ideas for the menu borders like the cross in the middle of the multiplayer sign in area or text borders?

You could just add the rawdata after the bitmaps, which means just the index and the meta will be shifted, which is an absolutely fine way to go about doing it.

Before anyone says that ^ is the nazi sign, it is not, the nazi sign goes the other way, that is peace. Just clearing it up so we don't have people going oh ma gawd prey.

As for the Menu, its beautiful, I didn't even know you were gonna post it, I thought you were just gonna keep it secret and release.

Nice job.

Waveing :) I think if you can try to remove the Xbox Live menu so no one can cheat :)

still looking as to how to remove stuff from options but oh well if cant get it no big loss. Skinning and giving the menus a new look is more important. I just wonder how many chunks the goof tag can take seeing as how just for slayer i have to add roughly 22 chunks.

If you have enough time, I think you should release multiple types of this with different bsp's in each type. For example, on with the Halomods insignia, another with a zanzibar bsp, and another with a lockout bsp.

I'm working on a mainmenu mod as well and had a few questions...
1.How do you change the font? (If possible)
and 2.How did you re-locate the menu and add those boxes?
Also..is there any way to replace/edit the peach/orangish color sky?
Any answers are greatly appreciated..thanks.
