Game Menu

[[Rok]Ells]

I haven't actually tried to change it yet, but I found some very useful files for the main menu.

In BF2, they used a flash file which they never released for us to change.

However in 2142, I've found some png files that look like it makes up the game menu.

\mods\bf2142\Menu_client.zip\External\FlashMenu\images\window

I'll try it out and let you know if it works.

Interesting, keep us posted

the background, yes, it's just a PNG, but u cannot change the actual layout and such

[[Rok]Ells]

Yeah, that's all in the Flash file which they didn't release for BF2, so I doubt we'll get it for 2142, but at least we can change the png files for our mods.

I got to take a look at the Flash file for BF2 and it's a right mess (not suprising there) and it took a while to figure out what they did to get it working. If we get the one for 2142, I'll take a look at it and report back.

Eh, really doubt that, that MemeEditor thingy isnt the menu editor.

Ever heard of delphi?

Ever heard of delphi?

A shitty language yes

C++ will always be on top ^, its what most games including bf2 are coded in.

They wouldnt have the time to write an delphi parser....

The menu files are SWF files, created by Macromedia Flash,

they also contain actionscript 2.0.

There is a tool for delphi, where you can create flash menus.

I dont know if they used it, maybe a mail to dice will tell us more?

Wouldn't it be theroreticly possible to hack any game and use lower level code to change or enable higher level code functions, even if it ment going down as far as the binary level (just on paper, not practice)? I mean if you was to look at the code at a lower level instead of a higher level like the .con script isn't it possible to change things that are hard coded? Like look at the engine code in everyone's favoritve C++ compiler? Could someone explain this to me, why it wouldn't be possible?
