Looks kind of tacky, but good job none the less.

What? When I click on multiplayer\game_variant_settings\multiplayer_game_settings under the goof tag there are no Reflexives. I am using Entity beta 1.3 and there are also no Idents, or Strings. Am I supposed to right click in the blank area (where there are supposed to be Reflexives), and then click "Clone Chunk"? If I go into the Chunk Cloner, there is:
Header
...Chunk - Number: 0 - Name: - Size: 24
Am I supposed to copy that to the Clipboard and replace the one in my mainmenu?

Havent tried but creative idea. But skin does need a little work.

The mainmenu patch worked for me with all of the options on a clean map. When I tried what you told me (I went and tried the steps in the original post after you updated it) I had a bunch of blank spots instead of options. I will keep tring, but it has not worked so far.

Edit1: Are you sure that is the Plugin you used? When I Press "Add Meta To Map" I get "Error Reading Ifp: sily"

Edit2: I even tried your steps to put this into any mainmenu on a clean menu and it did not work. All of the new quick options showed up, but there was nothing on the sides. (On, Off, Plasma Rifle, Ect.) Any one get the this to work with their mainmenu?

1. Apply patch to mainmenu.
2. Replace your old GOOF.ent in your plugins folder in entity.
3. Open both mainmenu maps up in entity.
4. In the patched mainmenu, go to the GOOF tag.
5. Use the chunk cloner to copy the first unknown reflexive to the clipboard, and then replace the reflexive in you're own goof tag of your mainmenu. (This "reflexive" holds 30 chunks)

Thanks for finishing the quick options for me. With school and the fact that i forgot about this mod i havent had the time to finish this thing.

How very convenient. Kudos man. Skinning could use some work. I have never tried to skin the mainmenu maybe I could give it a go. Hint hint

it might be because you are missing the secondary heavy vehicle SILY-tag.. furthermore replacing this reflexive in your own mainmenu, shouldnt give you THAT much trouble.

i have a small sugetsion,
1. Could you do the same thing i did and add instant repawn.
2. Did you add secondary heavy vehicle? If not i can help.

i've ripped the secondary SILY tag from your mainmenu.

but i dont know where i would go to add instant respawn.

what ever works right?

Anyway for the instant respawn i messed with the another sily tag. You can make an option have any number you want, the only problem is the lack of proper labels.

edit: updated unskinned version /w raw data added for preview pictures.

scynide · Post by **scynide** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:29 am

Thank you! That is what I was kinda having problems with. Not being able to have custom pics with this. This new update should solve my problem.

I don't mind having to readd all my maps again because this makes it where I can finally organize them.

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:56 am

the unskinned one should work like mine does. you should be able to just apply it over your current menu.

I'm not digging the crumpled green paper effect, sorry.

Okay, whenever I apply the unskinned patch to a clean mainmenu and then try and add maps using serenity patches, it gives me a dirty disc error, and when I add the maps to a mainmenu without the unskinned patch, it works.

What gives?
