How to create a custom main menu?

[Peppigno]

Could you just tell me what are the classes to create a custom main menu, with my custom buttons and title?

I've created a "myMenuMain" extends the original dx main menu to override some functions, but it doesn't work. Any tips?

You'd need to also create a custom playerclass, and over-write... *checks SMPlayer.uc*
...ShowMainMenu()

Code: Select all

exec function ShowMainMenu()
{
	local DeusExRootWindow root;
	local DeusExLevelInfo info;
	local MissionEndgame Script;

	if (bIgnoreNextShowMenu)
	{
		bIgnoreNextShowMenu = False;
		return;

		info = GetLevelInfo();

		// force the texture caches to flush
		ConsoleCommand("FLUSH");

		if ((info != None) && (info.MissionNumber == 98))
		{
			bIgnoreNextShowMenu = True;
			PostIntro();
		}
		else if ((info != None) && (info.MissionNumber == 99))
		{
			foreach AllActors(class'MissionEndgame', Script)
				break;
		}

		if (Script != None)
			Script.FinishCinematic();
	}
	else
	{
		root = DeusExRootWindow(rootWindow);
		if (root != None)
			root.InvokeMenu(class'*your main menu class here*');
	}
}

Though if you've already done this, do tell what else you've done. I'd be happy to help.

Thank you very much .

PS: where can I find SMPlayer.uc script?

It's not for release any time soon I'm afraid - it's the custom player class for DXSM, hence the SM.

So he needs to overwrite his own player class, correct? As in *checks(customname)player.uc*?

[Peppigno]

I did a temporary MiBPlayer.uc playerclass .
