Found a bug in my maps menu. It would disconnect from the server and start a new game with the map you just selected. But I fixed it now.

I also updated the 'all menus' zip to include this fix.

Just found another bug in my maps menu. :P Fixed the 'game type' box (didn't work like it should have), and removed the "[options...]" button on the in-game menu. I've updated the 'all menus' zip and replaced "mapsV5.zip" with "mapsV6.zip".

I have a feeling that I either missed some errors, or made new ones. So if something isn't right, let me know so I can fix it.

downloads arent working now
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 09, 2007, 06:59:37 PM
Yea, Arena-Zone died, so all of the links are dead now. So for now, I'll just put the 'All Menus' zip here.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 14, 2007, 07:01:11 PM
Ok. I just finished (kinda) this in-game menu system. See the first post for the download and pics. I am in the process of fixing those broken links, and I removed the 'ignore', 'manage players', and 'preset passwords' links because they are included in the new menu pack. I also updated the 'all menus' zip to include the new in-game menus.

Btw, the "] Chase Cam [" button doesn't work yet. I still have to work out a few bugs. And even it you uncomment line, it won't do anything (requires a cfg file).

for the bots menu what does the skill:on/off button do?

Skill off makes it so that the bots don't shoot.

Zorch I downloaded your menus and all of them work fine except for the change map menu. I can never set the type of match I want it to be. I try to set a deathmatch and still has only 2 teams. I'm thinking this might be a bug but I'm not positive.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 17, 2007, 03:12:43 PM
I that has to do with the map itself. It all depends on what keys where set in the "worldspawn" during the making of the map.

Oops, yea. That points to my map menu. I knew that wasn't the best way to set it up. Do you have my map menu? If not, get it. If you don't want it, I'll post a 'fix' on Monday.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 24, 2007, 11:10:03 PM
Ok, I don't feel like editing my menus. So, just extract the attachment to "\paintball2" ONLY if you do not have my map menu. If you do have my map menu, this WILL screw things up and it is not for you.

i dont like have everything has a ] [ after it, useless characters, but the rest of the menu is sweet as hell, and i like the join game one alot, where it shows the ip, thats raw....

i like them though...

I know what you are saying but I can't set it to a deathmatch on a jump map. And a lot of the maps I try it on I have played deathmatches on before.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: {appy Hamper on March 26, 2007, 02:56:25 PM
i dont like have everything has a ] [ after it, useless characters,

just go into his menu, find all the "text" parts and delete the ][.  Be careful not to delete the colors that are around the brackets.  (I think he has some colors assigned to the ]['s sometimes; in which case delete the unusual characters before both ][.)
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 26, 2007, 03:35:14 PM
"Replace..." under "Edit" in notepad, or just hit Ctrl+H.

  (I think he has some colors assigned to the ]['s sometimes; in which case delete the unusual characters before both ][.)

No, I didn't use any colors with those characters.

Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 08, 2007, 09:16:50 PM
With a text editor. :)
I put together a "Quick Reference" page on the Wiki here (http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/testwiki1/pb2wiki.php?word=Quick+Reference). It has just about everything you need to know about menus, but it isn't a tutorial. I am horrible at writing those.

Just checked it over real quick, I like it, nice work.  You *might* be specific with the picture types (don't think I saw it there), PCX, TGA, and JPG only.

All in all, another great work by Z.

Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 09, 2007, 10:11:45 PM
Just remember, with the chase cam, you need to be in observer mode. If your not, you will screw stuff up.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Nitroboy on April 09, 2007, 10:49:18 PM
I think I found a bug with one of your menus. When I go to change a map, and I select deathmatch it alwways does CTF, 1 flag, or elim. This is really starting to piss me off since I do a lot of jump maps. Is there anything you can do?
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: KiLo on April 09, 2007, 10:51:34 PM
I'm having that same problem too. I think I talked about it earlier in this thread.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 09, 2007, 10:52:47 PM
That would be an issue with the "worldspawn" in the map itself. If a map doesn't support it, my menus (or anyone else's for that matter) can't do a thing. Could you be more specific on the map so I can make sure it isn't my menu?
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Nitroboy on April 09, 2007, 11:30:58 PM
OK, I fixed that now, but when I type, it exits my little type thing. It gets really annoying and i dont know what to do.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Nitroboy on April 09, 2007, 11:53:47 PM
nvm, it still does the exiting out of the talk thing, and also not going to dm. Even for gxjump1, it wont do deathmatch for me.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 10, 2007, 01:07:24 AM
gxjump1, it wont do deathmatch for me.

Thats a Q2 Jump map isn't it? Those don't even belong in DP. No wonder it doesn't want to work!

How did you fix the problem with the deathmatch setting.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 10, 2007, 10:15:31 AM
I'm assuming he decompiled it, fixed the world spawn, and recompiled it.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Nitroboy on April 10, 2007, 02:49:55 PM
Nope. I didn't fix it. The talking thing was wierd, but it doesn't do that anymore. The dm still doesn't work. I tried newmap gxjump1 dm, and it goes into deathmatch mode, but it doesn't do that with the consel.


Edit: Woot, 31 posts, only 19 more to go
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 10, 2007, 03:44:49 PM

Zorch just a quick question.

I seen that you redid the menu where you start a LAN Server and put in buttons for siege maps and favorite maps. My question is what would I need to write in the siege.txt and the favs.txt to make these work.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: {appy Hamper on April 10, 2007, 09:29:46 PM
since I updated that and sent it to zorch (and I saw this first  :P), I'll answer for him:

you need separate files for the maps you want in the favs and siege categories.  - the easiest way is to just copy/paste (do NOT just drag the maps into the new directory) the maps you want into the new files.  The menu just reads and lists all the maps in the folders.  Once you select one it will automatically load from your maps folder.  So the map has to be in both places for it to work.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: KiLo on April 10, 2007, 09:32:45 PM
I understand what your saying but that doesn't make since. Why would you need a copy of the .bsp when you are creating a .txt file.

I was thinking that the needed file may be similar to the map rotation for servers.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: {appy Hamper on April 10, 2007, 09:39:20 PM
it's not.  we tried to do that though, and asked about it on another thread.

as for the .txt thing.  He'll have to answer; he may have changed the menu directory to read .txt files and not .bsp.  That just means that he's saving new .txt files as the same name of the maps he wants in the file.  This would take a few extra minutes, but save space.

Only one minor problems it will not let me delete the regular admin menu file and replace with the new one.

Off topic: In your signature y00tz you forgot yourself.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 08, 2007, 10:26:28 PM
If you cannot replace the admin file, you need to uncheck the box that says "Read only" in the file's properties window. And what do you mean the first couple of menus? All of my menus that I have released are in the "menus-notheme-4-21" zip file. At least, they should be.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Apocalypse on May 09, 2007, 04:38:05 PM
Never mind zorch I fixed I downloaded it to painball/pball/menus not paintbal/pball.

Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 09, 2007, 11:19:48 PM
Edit: wait one zip doen't work 19279_join.zip.

You need to unzip it to "\paintball2\pball", just like the rest of them. The download works (just tried) and the directory structure is correct. Maybe you're typing something wrong? I really need to get that auto install script thing to ViciouZ. :P
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Apocalypse on May 10, 2007, 08:30:32 PM
I did it exactly the same but all it said was ....Paintball2\pball\19279_join.zip: cannot create menus\play_joinserver.txt
Acess is denied.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: kNoC on May 11, 2007, 12:42:53 AM
did u do what zorch said earlier, by unchecking the read-only attribute on play_joinserver.txt ?? also, are you logged onto your pc under a name with administrator power or just a regular user ?
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Apocalypse on May 11, 2007, 05:32:47 PM
I set read only off and I am on just a regular user.

You may be need to logged on under administrator.

That's how it is for me at school sometimes.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 11, 2007, 10:20:04 PM
Apocalypse: What are you trying to install the menus on? A network drive at school, specific school computer, or a desktop at home? If you are trying to install them to a network drive, look into using a flash drive instead. Some people I know back at school played off of them I think. But as far as permissions, those can be an absolute pain in the rear end.

Oh poo. Um. Do you have an "Administrator" account or a "Limited" account? If you have an "Administrator" account, I'm not sure what you can do that you haven't already done. You'll have to ask Jitspoe, KnacK, or someone else who knows computers. :P Sorry I couldn't help more.

Oh. One last thing to try. Make a copy of your "\paintball2" folder (ie. select it and hit "Ctrl+C" then "Ctrl+V"). Then copy the menus over into the folder called "Copy of paintball2". Once you do that rename/delete your "\paintball2" folder and rename the "Copy of.." folder to "\paintball2". If that doesn't work, then I'm sorry for the trouble.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: KiLo on May 13, 2007, 11:31:19 PM
Do you have an "Administrator" account or a "Limited" account?

If you are Administrator and you can't change the file then you are pretty much screwed.
However from the sound of it I  am betting that you have a "Limited" account except that you could install the other menus which makes me wonder what is going on.

One other possible solution is to make sure that you are not running paintball at all when you are trying to install but again the other menus are being installed.

Try deleteing the play_joinserver.txt file all together and then try to install the menus or just that file again.

Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 25, 2007, 10:14:18 AM
I finally got around to working on these menus again. I had this idea for a while, but couldn't get it to work right, until about 1:00 this morning. Here is a preview of what I was working on:

could you play a demo in the background?  I know that's not what you did there, but that might be interesting...
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: jitspoe on May 25, 2007, 04:22:33 PM
I think if you played a demo it would switch to the in-game menu system.  It would also probably remove the menu when the demo loaded.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 25, 2007, 04:25:30 PM
A demo would take longer to load. It would have to load the map (including textures, models, etc) and then open up the menu. If there was a way to play a movie file (like Bink) in the background, it would make things much easier and faster. I would also need to overlay an image so the menu is still easily readable.

Time flies when you are trying to finish something. :P Sorry. I wanted to be finished by 5:30, because I had a party to be at that started at 6:00. Guitar Hero is so addicting. And I just wanted to go to sleep when I got home (1:30 ish). Especially when I tried to turn the door handle, and found out it was locked. But the sinking feeling came when I looked on my key ring and didn't see my house key.

Anyway, back on topic. I will try to finish it by 3 today (I have work then). If it isn't done by then, it will be done on Sunday.

In my defense, these where done yesterday. I was just unable to post them when I finished. Anyway, I updated the first post.

Oh, and resizing all of my menus took the longest. I resized them in light of this:
For now, though, I wouldn't be able to include Zorch's menus in any standard releases because they don't fit the default resolution.

Enjoy!

Not to be a pain in the neck,  but in the meantime do you mind if I re-upload an older version of your menus so that others can play in-game? The gray box is crazy annoying..

No need to upload my older menus. If this 'fix' doesn't work (I included the missing image files), just delete this file: "\paintball2\pball\scripts\ingamemenu.txt". Anyway, here is the 'fix'. I hope this works.

Just to clarify, this was created 5-28-07, not 06 right? :P
And second, to clarify also, you NEED v3.0 to install this, correct? (It's considerably smaller)

3.1 works good.  Except the bat is different and kind of unnecessary.

I held off saying it this time, at least until you had the bugs worked out, but here it is: Excellent work Zorch, as usual.

Wrong. I left out the Hi-res pics and disabled the batch file used to switch between the resolutions. I also left out a few scripts, etc. That is the 'full' pack. I hope it works.

Post by: y00tz on May 29, 2007, 10:19:31 AM
I've been having a lot of problems with your Menus.
In my back up install of pball, i modified the files to flag2, enabling the hi-res flag.. it takes 15 seconds to load.  I'm glad you ditched it all together in v3.1

But even without that, in my regular pball directory, I've been having lots of problems.  When I hit escape it flickers the flag for a second, then does nothing.  I have no in-game menu (just a flag flicker).  Hitting the ~ console key on the main menu can not be redone, I just get a flag flicker and then it acts like it's loading.
:(
I think I'm just going to have to reinstall b18 and your old menus.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 29, 2007, 11:25:23 AM
Holy crap! Never thought that would happen with just one animated image. That is very interesting.

Last night I installed a "control" version of pball. After the fresh install I installed my menus from the zip. The only thing that was wrong was the missing in-game menu background. Mmm.  Yea, I'm gonna definitely need to get the 'no-flag' version out soon.

Post by: Zorchenhimer on May 29, 2007, 12:17:11 PM

That would be tricky to pull off. As far as I know, there is no command to just delete loc files. I could easily do the create/save part though. I'll definitely try and pull this one off. Thanks for the idea.

Also I might just switch over to using pak files when I make this menu. Not sure yet, but I'm definitely considering it.

The only menus I've ever made were mods of Z's... just to add images and what not.  It's sitting on the laptop in the living room about 90% done.
I will quickly concede though, that Zorch has put too much effort into his menus for anyone to easily re-create his progress.

Yes Z, everything else works perfect.

I don't have a main.txt,  just a main_ingame.txt...   it's a bug, yes?

edt:

in main_ingame.txt:


Code: [Select]
widget
xcent 0
ycent -40
halign center
type text
text "              Main Menu              "
command "menu ingame/main"

I'm clicking that one and it's taking me to ingame/main, which does not exist...

Shouldn't it be:

Code: [Select]
widget
xcent 0
ycent -40
halign center
type text
text "              Main Menu              "
command "menu main"

?

And I'm not going to lie, I've had bugs before that I've worked out, but this pak idea makes it impossible to switch out your main menu for my custom one.. and to patch stuff like this so I can play..

Crap. You know. Didn't think of that when I put the stuff in the pak file. But it should work if you make a folder in "\paintball2\pball" called "mapshrt" and have folders called koth, dm, favs, etc. inside it. I'll have to rework that part when I get back from vacation.

Also how do you open the crosshir menu.

Setup > Layout > Crosshairs

Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Cobo on July 14, 2007, 07:20:56 PM
A .loc file is a file where information about area names on a map are stored.
When you have a loc file on a map and you do $loc_here or $loc_there it tells you the name of that area.

So you can do:
Code: [Select]
bind a "say_team $loc_here"And when you press a it will tell your team where you are. You need to put the " tho, or when you bind it, it will bind a to the valule of what $loc_here is in that moment.

I think DP comes with a loc file of midnight by default. To make locs go to the console and type loc then tab to see the commands, I think there is a loc_help command.

I thought about this earlier.. your in game video options are a little empty for my taste.  What about a link under 'setup' with tabs of each menu and check marks that let you select what stuff you want on each menu?

People who like all the options in front of them in-game can have them, those who want very few could have it too.

Even having just three options for menus "light, medium, filled" that let people choose how much stuff they want in the menus would be awesome.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Cobo on July 19, 2007, 02:15:13 AM
Being able to select what elements you have on a menu would be pretty much impossible.
Only way I can think of doing that is having a menu for every configuration, and have a changeable alias that tells which meenu to load.

I could make a German version I guess. Only one problem: I don't know German (yet). The "light, medium, and filled" would be tricky to pull off, if it is even possible. However, if Jits put in the new menu system, that would not be as 'impossible' as I think it is.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Cobo on July 19, 2007, 12:48:24 PM
If you're going to start making language-specific menus, then you should put them in different folders, one named english, and another named german.
That way, people can just change the cl_language cvar.

I don't know much about the scripting system, but couldn't you make 3 menus - sparse, medium, dense - and put them in 3 folders and use a cvar to select between them?
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Cobo on July 19, 2007, 01:00:38 PM
Yeah, that would work.
But if you had the menus in 2 languages, you'd have 6 folders, if you had 3 languages, you'd had nine.
You get the picture :P

There probably wouldnt be any more than 2 languages tho.

Ermm, I would REALLY hope he'd split the downloads up between languages, if I want my download size tripled, I'd rather have options that benefit at least half the community.

What i mean is have a check box for different colored backgrounds instead of the silver stripe. Maybe blue, or red or many colors?
And customizable console pictures or have console drop down but it be more translucent than it already is?

That would be a vote in the features thread.
The console image is completely opaque, I think and it can only be changed in the code.

The silver stripe?
You mean the one of the ingame menus?

Again, only way I can think of doing that is by having an alias that controls the menu that loads.

That would be a completely different story if Jitspoe implemented cvars in the widgets already.

Bug found:

When I open a beta/map, using your menu, it works just fine.  But if I ever try to close the game and start it again, it will try to load the map as <mapname> instead of beta/<mapname>.
Title: Re: My Menus
Post by: Zorchenhimer on August 01, 2007, 11:17:27 AM
Yea, I know. That is one thing I cannot get around with out the variables. Otherwise I would have to have the maps listed with the relative path in the list box. Like "beta/abandon_b1" instead of just "abandon_b1".

Thats interesting.  Do me a favor, zip your "menus" folder and attach it here.  It sounds like an older file got in there somehow.

You are clicking "Yes" when it asks you to overwrite the files, right?

Edit:
Also, delete the "menus_v5.pak" file so it reads from the "menus" folder.

If/once new menu format is implemented have it set gamemodes to automaticly set to there section (using the contents of the bsp file[maybe the same way as the lettering?]). Or you could add some sort of thing that showed the news off of the main page of this site maybe have a couple links to things such as sk89qs site and stuff like that. Just some ideas off the top of my head.

These files will reinstall the original menus (as of Build 21).  Just unzip into your .\paintball2 folder and double click "rmzmenus.bat".  It will delete the extracted files after it finishes.

rmzmenu.zip (http://zilla-clan.net/upload/895389) ~168 Kb

Note: This will erase all your menus and reinstall the original ones.  If you have any custom menus in that folder that you want to keep, back them up first.

*update-preview thing*

Version 6.1 is done and almost packaged for release.  However, Build 22 isn't out yet.  Depending on how long it takes for Build 22 to come out, I may not even release this version, and just skip to 6.2 or something.

Whats new:
  • Map previews (thumbnail pack included)
  • Simplified map menus (on the coding side) - there is one file for the main menu version, and one for the ingame (before it was ~35 for each).

    Whats on the way:
  • Hud switch menu (a bunch of Huds included)
  • Theme support  :D
  • Re-designed join server menu (see this (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5169.msg114779#msg114779) post)

    Stuff I'm looking into:
  • {appy Hamper's idea (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5169.msg121966#msg121966)

When you create a LAN server, the button that says 'play <mapname.bsp>' isn't centrered, so the glow beneath it doesn't always come out in the middle

There isn't much I can do about that one.  The variable used there is just about always different, and everything is aligned once when the menu is loaded, not every time the variable is changed.

For the map previews?  Yes.  They are in "paintball2/pball/pics/mapshots".  I would recommend using the same image dimensions.

While I was looking through the menus again, I found and fixed a few more errors.

Huh.  Well, the files look fine.  It might be a stray variable in your config.  Look for "menuz_mapname" and "menu_server" in your config and delete them.  I can't recreate the error, so I'm not entirely sure.

Ok, I lied.  I didn't get to finish them, and its 4am.  This weekend is gonna be busy, so definitely next week.

Can you tell us somewhat of is going to be on it?

This is more of a major clean up than anything else.  These have needed some attention for some time now.  As of build 25, I can eliminate around 80 menu files and keep the functionality.  As for other specifics, I'm not entirely sure (other than the demo menu, which I always seem to be forgetting).

They are nearing completion.  I'm just making sure everything works the way it should, and cleaning up all the unnecessary and obsolete stuff.

Make a new folder in pball/menus/ and place all the new files there. Then change the cl_language setting to the name or the folder and make a vid_restart. Now u have the new menu.

Ok, so I've been working on the new release lately and I've hit a weird issue.  I open up the menu to choose a map (play_startserver), and double click on a map.  It loads just fine and everything works the way it should.  Next, I disconnect from the map and I go back to that menu.  This time I select a map and hit the button below the box for "begin".  Everything works like it should.  However, when I again disconnect and try to open the menu, it just starts the last selected map.  This only happens when I use the button instead of the double click feature on the list box.  The commands for both the double click and button (respectively) are the same and are as follows:

Code: [Select]
doubleclick "deathmatch 1; map $play_loc$$menuz_mapname$; menu off"

command "deathmatch 1; map $play_loc$$menux_mapname$; menu off"

Anybody have any ideas as to the reasoning behind this?

Edit:  For some reason, this only happens when you call the menu via the console (eg. "menu play_startserver").  However, if you disconnect and navigate through the menus to this one, it works normally.

The second one in the code you posted says $menux_mapname$ instead of $menuz_mapname$.

Not sure if that causes the issue, but it's there :/

I didn't copy paste to post it here, but I did in the menu file.  :P

My guess is that maybe the enter key for typing in the menu command is registering in the menu, so it's executing that button as soon as the menu opens?

Post by: Zorchenhimer on April 14, 2009, 08:18:33 PM
Hmm.  But, if I double click to start the map, I can call it from the console just fine.  Would there be a way to determine if that was the problem?

Does anybody know if there is a way to retrieve the list of maps that a server currently has?

You have to pm the people who own/run the servers.

"maplist" - might cause an overflow on the client calling it though, it used to.

Post by: lilb990 on April 17, 2009, 10:59:29 AM
No it didn't cause an overflow with me. I just did it in the 3iob public server and it gave me the list of the maps. But i don't know if it will overflow if the server has many maps because the 3iob server only has 14 maps but i'll go try it on an eR33t server.

Edit: Just tried it on an eR33t server the only map it shows it pbcup. So your second option would be to pm bain and ask him for the list of maps on the eR33ts. :)

So, maplist just shows the current rotation and not the available maps then?  Ugh, that won't work.  >_<

Just downloaded these.  Some are good, but some don't work at all.  For example your chase cam menu, just says "chase"  it should be "camera".  And something with aliases completely messed up my text.  people were telling me they couldnt understand anything I was saying.  Something in your menus caused what I was typing to be cut out.

That chase cam thing never worked right.  It used aliases set in a config file.  I think I removed it for the last release I put out.

just take the alias lines out the .cfg file.

excrement was pretty funny how you thought everyones else had was going mental or had intercoursed up screens. like, "no, man. no way its my excrement. it's pristine."......
