A question

[Toa Tahu]

I've a request, but I am absolutely unsure where it exactly belongs. I'm thinking it belongs closest to the Coding section, so I'm requesting for help over here.

 

Anyway, I need to know the following:

- where can I get/learn a mod/piece of code that enables me to change the starting screen? If possible, change it to the starting screen of JO.

 

- also, where can I get/learn a mod/piece of code that enables me to change the HUDs in JA to the gauge-type HUDs of JO?

 

Thanks a lot.

It's do-able, but probably not worth the effort. You'd have to do some copying and pasting of code, which can go wrong.

 

For changing the starting screen, that's easier, just edit the menu files.

Hey, thanks for the reply. But the problem is I've got zero experience with modding, and I do not have any modding tools. Perhaps with a little more guidance like what/which files to tinker with and with what tools I could be having my very first experience of modding. Thanks a lot.

Well, I've never used the menus, but I know where they are: Look for files with the '.menu' extension in the pk3s (which are just renamed zips). It shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's going on, and I'm sure someone will have written a tutorial on the subject.

I'm not sure if anyone has written a tutorial on the menus.

As on the Dark Forces MOD forum. We did a completely new looking HUD and changed some menu stuff.
