I didn't look at the details but if you have some other mod installed before Menu mod and that mod's been reinstalled at some moment there is no Elminster's background anymore. Something doesn't work...

Thanks for pointing this out KD :thumb: Indeed, I was using AT_INTERACTIVE_EXIT in the tp2 file, while I should be using AT_EXIT

* EDIT * File now available here. This time WeiDU is included

That's excellent, thanks

Is that all of it? The 'bugs' I mean? Otherwise, I'd like to throw this in to BGT-WeiDU (and get rid of the confusing StrRef patching that BGT-WeiDU currently makes) and release it in the next release, which will quite some while anyway. Of course, it will be an optional component.

Ups - yes go ahead and incorporate it! I thought it was clear that we were done if no further change requests were made

One question: What happened to my beg to switch the buttons back to the way they were used in BP-BGT? Any chance for this change?

I'd quite like this as well (unless I've got confused about which way round it went ). It makes more sense to me to have the confirmation dialogue for when you skip BG1 and go straight to BG2, rather than starting BG1.

Well, I was going to first torally remove the STRING_SETs in BGT-WeiDU and check what is changed first -- I haven't seen the GUI yet!

Finally got to see the GUI and its very cool. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: I only had to change one thing to make it suit, that is, alter the TUTORIAL button description. Otherwise, there was only one bug, that is the alternate start screen doesn't work because the AT_EXITs trigger backwards to what is stated in the .tp2. I've fixed that using batch files, so thanks again for all the great work. I can't give you enough credit for this. Cheers, Way and Yac! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Look for this in the next release of BGT-WeiDU.

Hi folks,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread. Yeah, said I was done and all, but hey, call me a liar! As some of you know, I've been tinkering a lot with 3D tools lately and I couldn't resist to make some more BGT menu screenies. So here they are.

Ascension64, if you want some or all of them, just tell me and I'll 'moz' them up for you. Otherwise I'll just go back playing with my toys

All the best,

Yacomo

P.S.: Argh, attachments still don't work for me and I deleted almost all my old attachments So the piccies are now stored on my Geocities site, if you do not see them, bandwidth was exceeded and you'll have to try later, sorry!

[Chevalier]

Damn, They're good!

[King Diamond]

The Ripper is great!

[Ascension64]

The Ripper almost looks like it came from Elder Scrolls 3! I think Elminster is a little bit too fake for my liking.

Very nice! What did you use to model/render them?
And how long have you been practicing? They really don't look like you're new to that kind of thing.

Hi Waywocket!

Nice to see ya Well I do have some background, both in theory and practice, but that dates back to more than ten years. Todays tools and resources are sooo much better than the stuff I used way back...
Concerning the images above: They were done using Bryce, DAZStudio and Poser6 with a bit of help by GIMP for texture modifications / postwork and Shade for modelling. I have been playing with these and a couple other tools in my spare time for about two months now. What was probably more important was to learn how many models and textures are available today both free and commercially. No longer necessary to reinvent the wheel every time like I did ten years back Today it's more like a photographers job, getting the scene, the lights and the camera right. For instance, the Elminster above is based on the Michael figure from DAZ, the Skeleton is based on the Michael Skeleton also from DAZ. I did not build them myself, just 'hired' them and adjusted them for my needs

All the best,

Yacomo
