Title: Missionpack menu Post by: fromhell on June 18, 2007, 12:53:01 PM Is this too close to half-life?
Please note that these are my first .menus EVER. EVER EVER. So to learn menu design I had to be heavily inspired by the old menus of another old game (http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1113/yaymenu10go5.jpg) If I work fast enough then missionpack might even be functional in 0.7.0 but who knows.

I don't think the colours suit Open Arena's style, unless maybe the background is animated and it runs a demo, previously recorded. Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: SAHChandler on June 18, 2007, 01:12:41 PM Change the colors, and it would look a hell of a lot different

You could always change the font if you are worried about half-life resemblance. Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: fromhell on June 18, 2007, 03:58:31 PM well, Deja Vu and Bitstream Vera are the onyl free fonts i can use :/
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: dmn_clown on June 18, 2007, 04:51:30 PM what about some of the liberation fonts (https://www.redhat.com/promo/fonts/)?
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: SAHChandler on June 18, 2007, 05:09:26 PM well, Deja Vu and Bitstream Vera are the onyl free fonts i can use :/ Can't you make your own and release them under the GPL?>.> Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: DeathByGuitar on June 18, 2007, 09:09:41 PM I like the idea thus far, but since the OA logo/icon is blue, then wouldn't white text on a blue background work better? But hell, anything is better than Q3 menus
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: moHiJ on June 22, 2007, 01:19:09 AM Will this new menu fix the "only 3x4" menu bug?
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: fromhell on June 22, 2007, 02:03:12 AM yes
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: Kylratix on July 21, 2007, 10:42:41 AM Maybe a widget border around the map preview box as well?

nice work on the menus. did you have to dig into the code and figure it out as you went along or did you find any useful tutorials? Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: w1zrd on July 24, 2007, 10:54:33 AM imo they do remind to much of half-life, and I've barely played the game :)
passwoid rules all day long :) Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: iLeft.bye on July 24, 2007, 01:17:27 PM no one gonna notice unless you add a crowbar
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: moHiJ on July 25, 2007, 01:49:41 AM You titled this topic Missionpack menu. Does this mean OpenArena will be seperated into two different games like Quake3 was (Q3 and Q3TA)? I think that wouldn't be a good idea.
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: dmn_clown on July 25, 2007, 11:04:05 AM And why is that?
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: moHiJ on July 27, 2007, 12:53:53 PM dmn_clown: Why I think it isn't a good idea? Well, now that this is entirely open source stuff splitting it up into a OpenArena and OpenArenaTA seems stupid, since that would only add confusion and annoyance since you have to switch between the two. I'd prefer one single OA.
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: fromhell on July 27, 2007, 08:30:29 PM Who said anything about it being seperate?
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: Joshgt2 on July 27, 2007, 08:43:37 PM I like the looks of it. You are the boss so you make it how you like it, lol
Title: Re: Missionpack menu Post by: moHiJ on July 29, 2007, 04:22:22 AM fromhell: Fine then. *happy*
I just wondered, because the topic of this thread is "missionpack menu". |
