  • Hi Nexuiz developers,

    Mr. Black told me that div0 has been developing new menu.dat for Nexuiz.
    Can I use new menu.dat with DP ?
    If so can I get a hold of new menu.dat file and sample .menu files please?
    Thank you.

  • There aren't any .menu files any more, it is all code and the directory gfx/menu/
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • oh, no .menu file :/ Does it make menu creation process more complicated from the coding point of view ?
    Also I can't run any SVN client since I access Inet from a public library. Can somebody upload .zip file with SVN source code for menu.dat please?

    imho no, since there never was any documentation on the *.menu format and you need to change at least two files in totally different locations to add a simply switch for a cvar. i don't think it can get much more complicated than that...

  • Actually I consider the new stuff to be more easy. If you found that editing the old menu files wasn't hard you'll be pleased to know that as long as you have a fitting QC compiler at your hand things are way more straightforward.

  • I looked into menu-div0 test or something like that and:
    1. It doesn't want to compile
    2. I don't even know what file should I look into if I need to have simple menu done (like in vanilla Quake, but also with mouse support)

    Any help / tips please?
