my old thread got burried so i decided to attempt a new one.
Anyways... so if anyone was ever interested in first person shooters in the early 90s, im going to be recreating a menu based off of the VERY FIRST FPS game. anyways id like a little bit of help with it. if anyone knows anything about changing backgrounds, and placement of menu items, and adding custom textures. really it should be a cakewalk for anyone who is interested.

i will provide an example menu.
hi. my other thread got burried.


this is an online version of the original game http://www.wolfenstein.com/game_NA.php

if it asks you your birthday just say your 18. easy enough. it will then allow acces to the menu and the game. (the game is rated M just as halo is.)

the main menu is what i want to be recreating. i will release some of my own weapon and other tags upon completion to anyone willing to help, and i will also be willing to share whatever else mod or tag wise i have that anyone would ever want.

things i need:

rearangement of most menu items in halo 1 standard ui.
---all menus-----
tiling storm cloud texture that has more than one layer, that scrolls diagnally behind the menu text on the dark red. thru overlay
-- this is the hardest part.---


---things that dont need too much work just importing or tagging---
fonts
actual bitmaps, and sounds.
music.

features id enjoy if at all possible,
a music menu to switch between one new and one old version of the same song.

note-- ALL ITEMS NEEDING IMPORT WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST OR TIME TO YOU!!! :D

now lets see some enthusiasm and help and we will remaster this menu :D

Honestly, there are things that a lot of people can do in Halo, and somethings few people can do. Most people know very basic things, like how to stumble around Sapien and Guerilla. These people don't post much, and usually become inactive after several months. Although there are technically thousands of registered users, there is usually anywhere from 8 to 20 people on a certain part of Halo Maps at a given time. Custom UIs are something that are not necessary for people to learn when they are modding Halo, so they usually skip over it or aren't aware of its existence.

I've been modding for about a year now, and I know more than most people about modding maps (which isn't saying too much, like I said, most members are inactive), but I've never done any of this stuff, and the people who do spent a lot of time learning it for use in a personal mod that is taking up a lot of their time.

One thing I can do perfectly is .sound and .sound_looping files. This is something that many people struggle with or do incorrectly, and I would be more than happy to take any .wav or .mp3 and convert it into a .sound or ,sound_looping file for your project.

Hope this helps. If you need any other help on some other aspect of Halo map design, please let me know.
