New main menu mod

Post by Disturbed.1.93 »

Current version: 0.6
on Wagic version 0.9.3

No PC version uploaded yet.

Things to do:
- redo the boot up so it looks like a linux livecd boot (like: Loading Set M10... Done.)
- Separate the scrollbar at the bottom to display them in seperate scrollbars
- Some themes have titles that will go a little past the right side of the screen, I need to move the title a little more to the left so this does not happen.

This is a little project that i have been working on and if you look at this post, viewtopic.php?f=15&t=898, you will see i still have ideas but i have the main points in.

here is a screenshot: (remember, the particles shown here are not the ones you will see, the particles you see here are from experimenting with them, yours will appear normal.)

(never mind my particle things =P yours wont look like that)

Okay, i was just thinking... what if I could end up making it look the same way as the Masterboy main menu...

And possibly just have the menutitle in the original position. How's that sound?

and here is the download:
SVN patch: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rrmwgc
Eboot.pbp: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9httsi

Please, tell me how i can improve this if you like it, i know a lot will prefer wololo's original but i like to change things up a bit =]

I apologize if i seem inactive on this project but that is due to limited access to the internet and even less access to a computer with the compiling software.

I think this is a nice idea but you should probably use completely different graphics to make it look more different. Otherwise people won't stop comparing it to the original ;)

yeah i got a really cool idea from Yeshua, (i think thats how it's spelled)to have the icons in a pentagon order, kinda like on the back of the official cards, then I'll probably use the official graphics because i think that may be what a lot of people like too. I will also work on editing themes to work with the graphical mod of the particles look a little funky or whatever else it may be.

If it fits you could put the title in the middle.

I was thinking more along the lines of

If the title was in the middle the pentagon the pentagon would have to be distorted and there would be no 'stylistic' spot for the text :/ but if you really would like to see it i could try :)

The new pentagon layout looks nice. One question though, do the flames from the icons shoot off to the right? This wouldn't be a bad thing, I'm just curious.

I should have clarified that earlier, no the flames dont, thats my version where i was playing around with the particles. So that doesnt happen on this, i'm about to post the eboot so you can check it out if you dont wanna compile it =]

no offense meant, but im going to make some noise about it also, thats pretty cool, personally for me that theme guide is not comprehensive enough, leaves you with tons of questions, same issue with the story mode guide. this is not to say i can't figure it out on my own, but it would be nice if a more experienced person on our team would write a step by step on both those subjects.
