Ingame Menus 2012

Just tested these out. They work great and are compatible with JA++

Good work sir!

I already have an ingame server list, but this would be useful for those who don't.

(anyone who doesn't have something like this, get it, because it is extremely useful!)

Here is my review:

Creativity: 9/10

Execution: 9/10

Accessibility: 9/10

Overall: 9/10

Oh my gosh. This is so useful! It is such a pain to have to leave your current game just to connect to another one. This nifty mod by my friend afiNity fixes this problem and adds many other cool features. This mod adds the following features: ingame demo loading, ingame server selection, and ingame server/game creation. This so useful! Lets take a look at each:

Server selection

This is the most useful of all the features included in the mod. The user just needs to pause the game, select the ingame serverlist option, and presto! Instant server switching. This saves a lot of time for the user. Before the user had to quit the current session to locate a desired server. But now it can be done with ease!

Demo loader

The mod also includes an ingame demo loader. This lets the player watch scenes they previously recorded. I didn't have a demo laying around, but I know it works because I simply tried pressing "load demo" without a demo selected, and it gave me a "demo not found" error, which it should.

Game/Server creator

This part of the mod is very useful. It lets the player create and host a server from an ingame session. This could be very useful if you wanted to host a quick game or wanted to test out a couple maps you downloaded. Good work here!

In conclusion, this is a very useful and handy little file. I would advise keeping it in your base folder for a long time. Something I would like to see however would be some gfx changes. Right now, there is no background behind the new options, making them just "float". I'd love to a modification of the existing blue strip that is used to hold the other options to include the new options, even if it means just simply extending it. That would really add to this mod. You may have to remove any other mod that adds a new menu to your game. Two new menu mods cannot coexist, but if only the gfx is changed, it should be OK. (This problem happened to me). Some of the new options also clash with the other menus (the new options are on top of the spawning bot menu). May wanna try to fix this. But, nevertheless, this mod is great and is a nice fix to an old problem! Good job!

New Menus: Yes

New GFX: No

New Options: Yes

This is pretty universally helpful. I like it! I would like to see those bottom options be moved onto the top row though, definitely. One thing you could do is merge some areas together that are similar, such as the voting stuff. Might be one idea to fix your problem

Thanks for the comments. I think I will make a second version that looks a bit better if I have the time.

There could not be anything more practical and useful than this mod for people who are freelancers.

Impressive and innovative!

Keep up the good work afiNity!
