Hi, I'm modelin a map with a lot of stuff, and I needed some help: not about the modeling, but for UI representation of the map. How to create some text info & a small thumbnail to be viewed on the map selection tab? I've done a lot of serch about this topic but without results. Any help would be appreciated.

Its been done the person faild to say how he did accomplish this. Hints why Im only putting out betas instead of FINALS. I want to see how to do this. If not then Ill release them but intell then...

it can be donem but it will only show while you've loaded the map its compiled into. (so, if I make one for something.map in itself and try to see it in the mainmenu, you wont see it. you'll have to start a game in it and use the map list in side of it, and thats the only place it will show)

i dont think that can be done
psps are better then ds btw

ive successfully accomplished this actually. check out my xfire screenshots. but every orange_gejo said is true. they can only be viewd when you load the map, press pause and select your map within the UI.

PSP has many things it can do itself, like it can even emulate itself

thats the picture for when I wana play digimon world 3 (ps1 game lol) on my PSP, and above there, is Bleach: Heat of the soul 4 (J) witch my firmware cant run lol.. and below digimon and the corupt file is a Supernintendo emulator lol.

DS has beter functionailty, and is small, light, and has 2 screens lol, but PSP has 1337 hax so I can play things like GBA on it lol

there.. now do both sides see the uses for both of em? unique game play and stuff for DS, hax for PSP. now stop being offtopic since I hopefully resolved the war

PSP > DS

AHS_SONIC, can U write the steps or a short tutorial on how to make that kind of UI for custom maps please? I'm sure it has to do ithe the strings!

But see your 13. The Ds, Gamecube, or N64 are kid toys.

are u kidding me? u guys are fighting over systems? grow up. seriusly u guys actually pissed me off with OMFG PSP IS BETTER and XBOX 360 FTW!!! its all a matter of opinion. anyway back on topic, its in the ui area. theres a bitmap for the levels thumbnails and a Unicode string list for the text. go look in there. i dont know what to do past that part.

edit: if i can find out how, ill make a tutorial.
