Replacing Map Shot in mainmenu

Post by d34thr3c0n »

I was wondering if it is possible to replace the current map shot in the mainmenu with a shot of the mod?

also is it possible to link to another mainmenu?

1 yes it is possible to make a new little photo for you mainmenu but the photo is in the map not the main menu check you bitmaps

2 i dont think its possible but you can could try, this is what i would do

i would make a back up first then rename mainmenu.map to something like mainmenu2.map then add the mainmenu2.map as a map to mainmenu.map so when you click on mainmanu2.map from you first mainmenu it would take you to a new mainmenu


confusing i really dont know if it would work but good luck

You would never really need to link it to another main menu. The Main Menu stores alot of maps.

yeah but the allied map pack takes up i think all the open spots. so then you would need another map menu

i tried replacing the mapshot in the map and it didnt change anything.

in mainmenu.map there are map shots for 0-49(all the maps) but it makes it so that 11and12 as well as 13-49 can not be changed(update one it changes them all)

i currently have it so that 13-49 say "No preview available"

but it is under ui\code_global_bitmaps\multiplayer0 -ui\code_global_bitmaps\multiplayer49

there are also pics for the campain maps
