Yet again, very sexy and such a nice job.

Thanks. And even though I am still on vacation, I've began to brainstorm the next release.

Maybe some customizable parts to make the menu's unique in an individual way?

What do you see as potential customizable content?

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.

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.

German translation of all menus? Maybe Pureblood could step in again?

I know, I edited it to say maybe an option between three variations of menus.

I believe Shadow did some German menus in the past. Though, I'm not sure if he's still active, nor if he still plays this game.

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.

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.

y00tz · « **Reply #192 on:** July 19, 2007, 10:53:45 AM »

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?

Cobo · « **Reply #193 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:00:38 AM »

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

There probably wouldnt be any more than 2 languages tho.

y00tz · « **Reply #194 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:05:56 AM »

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.

I'm not even sure if I could be able to pull something like that off. When I get home tomorrow I'll see what I can come up with.

Cobo · « **Reply #198 on:** July 20, 2007, 09:36:37 AM »

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.

I would much rather that route.

Oh, and I just got home.
