Using oldschool quake menus for me is annoying. Tf needs some new decent looking menus and I want something new for the new version of Oztf.

Im asking if anyone can update these graphics. I guess theres alot of people who play around with images, so feel free to have a go, you will be accredited, and given much man love from all our tf players.

I was playing around just to give u an example of what i mean;

you can take the png graphics from fuhquake\gfx and copy them into fortress\gfx then edit them in there. im most interested in changing maybe the font of all titles and menu options, and the menudot graphics similar to mine would be good.
Ive uploaded my menudot graphic here:

rough examples:

email me if u wish to contact me or reply to this post

I like the look/idea of a faithful hi-rez remake of the old menu. Quake font for me is runey sexness.

Without changing the layout, alternate graphics (other than faithful) tend to be a little offputting.

Why not get menus like q3 has, withe the menu in a seperate module (normally a qvm). Then you could have all sorts of fancy cool effects.

it doesnt have to lose the quake look but it has to be updated, because its normal quake graphics. I want Team fortress graphics, which later on when user interface menus are integrated (qvm's like spikes client) it will be needed even more so. Those examples I gave are just a 2 minute play around they are suppose to give an idea of what u can change.

Spike has the right idea. This has been needed for quite some time. And using the Q3 format (format, not look) making the menu system highly flexible would allow for easy updates to the menus as the versions of a client progress. Not to mention the how friendly it would be for new players.

and it would allow modmakers to make thier menu's 100% customizable... take mods for Q3/HL like CS or Urban Terror or Q3F. The menus were completely diferent. If this got implemented into a big client like fuhquake mod authors like mercury would be requesting/building thier own complete remade menu.

There should be some options to go back to orginal too. But of course set to a new GUI for the newbies. Oh i cant wait... if only there was someway for me to help spike Sad

~SPike engine has a great future if he continues to develope it, i agree with those ideas, lots of ppl don't play quake due to the unfrendly format that quake has evoluted so far, many of the commands that are needed to configure in TF or other mods, and even in the engine, they are all configurated trough configs, we have to understand that ppl that play CS, UT, Urban T and those type of games don't really know were to start, we should start thinking in making quake an easier game to start with minimum dificulties.

its been a top priority of my tf for ages, to make it more user friendly of course, but it cannot be done without the client interface being updated.

I would gladly create a qvm menu for my mod, its something i look forward too. But for the meantime there are other limitions that we have to focus on which makes quake "minute" to newer games. Namely model precache where a client can use more then the 256k precache allowed for models. Its so frustrating having a mod limited to just weapon and armor models and a few extras. But unfortunately until we find away to get around the precache without modifing the protocol, nothing will be done.

Second thing is particles and custom effects, would be good if mod makers had more capability for a custom particle or sprite frame affect.

Quake does need new models badly.

For now we start with graphics menus Razz

You know how bad you want to update em! CMON TIMMOI!!

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in my last post. Being able to launch any of the various Quake mods from the in game menu. Very Happy Sweetness. I would help however I can (probably just some moldy graphics work), but I'd be up for a revamped menu and menu graphics at the same time. Wink

I've been thinking about this for a long time so when I read this thread I thought I finally give it a go.
I thought I'd use the Quake font, at least for now.
This is just a first "try" so please comment.

Here's a screenshot of my metal theme design. Maybe I got little carried away with the rust Smile As you can see I havn't done the dots yet.

I'm intending too make at least 2 designs, this one and one looking like my previous post above.

If one would like too add a Logo it could be placed in the lower rightcorner of "mainmenu.png"?

Finally I would like too state that I think the menugraphics in fuh (done by dobbz?) is very very good!

Please comment............
