Nice

Amazing

[Omicron]

Nice! Is the green sabre animated?

[Tempust85]

It's the same as JK2's just green. I still need to change the hilt.

[hhunter6]

Dig the new menu.  It has the feel of the original which I love. 

[Tempust85]

Forgot the main menu doesn't have the drawing, so:

 

 

And the new game menu:

 

[Boothand]

Cool drawings! But I would personally prefer a bit more contrast between the buttons and the background.

[Tempust85]

Yeah Darth Phae did a great job on that menu recreation, I only did a few tweaks. Button color change will be in the next update. May just go with white instead of red.

[z3filus]

classic look!  yeah baby yeah!  Here's an idea for the "Controls" or "Setup" section, what do you think?

 

[Tempust85]

Only the first two have recreated backgrounds, the rest are using ported backgrounds.

 

Main Menu:

 

 

 

New Game:

 

 

 

Load Game:

 

 

Setup:

 

 

Controls:

 

 

 

Exit:

Love it!!!

[z3filus]

question: are the background images animated?

No but I'm thinking of doing that now thanks for the idea.

[Numfast]

Sorry for my question. In the main menu ''Cutscenes'' not added. Cutscenes will be on engine or in movie, like in the original.

[Tempust85]

Ported movies. I've tried to redo them like JK2/JKA cutscenes but it loses the "DF2 feel" no matter how good I make the animations.

 

You lose some of the story if you play the videos without playing the game so I'm not adding them to the menu.

Absolutley clear, thank you.

[minilogoguy18]

What about doing it like the cutscenes can only be played if you're at that point in the story? Like an unlockable feature?

[Tempust85]

I'd like to, but I haven't a clue how to do that and we are quite short on help. It's just easier and less time consuming to just leave them out of the menu seeing as this mod is going to bigger than a Rancor in terms of work.

 

Once the player models, weapons & levels are made, I may revisit converting the videos to cutscenes now that carcass converts animations with no jitter.

[Archangel35757]

How about adding them to the menu once you've gotten thru that point in the game? Maybe that's what mini asked.

I can lend a hand with the menu backgrounds if needed, though I figured you had it covered, judging from the pics you posted above, @@DT85.

[Tempust85]

I'd love it if you could tackle the exit & load game menu backgrounds, with animated lightning.

I can probably handle the backgrounds, but I'm not well-versed enough in menu coding to achieve animated lighting. Perhaps @@therfiles could help?

[therfiles]

Sure! I'm backed up with school (and still have other projects here on hold ) but maybe I can do it when the art is finalized. Is everything in layers so we can export it to separate elements?

[Tempust85]

It should animate fine from a shader.

[Tempust85]

The main menu now has flickering light as if you're in a cave with a torch.
