[UT2k3] 2 minor things, Splashscreen/MainMenu Music

[Daid303]

We're almost ready to release the 1st beta of our mod, but i'm running into minor problems at the end.

1) I can't seem to find any reference to the UT2003 Startup logo.
I've searched trough code and ini files, but no luck

2) The same goes for the main menu music, where is it started?
Nowhere in GuiController, not found in GUI_Mainmenu....

There must be people who know this. (I could have started 2 topics, but I felt like 2 small questions could fit in 1)

Okie doke,

1) u need to make your logo (256 colurs) and place it on your help folder, then, in your shortcut to your mod, use the following parameters: -userlogo=YourLogo.bmp

2) The main menu music is actually music from the 'entry' level, so make your own and specify it in your INI.

Dex.

For #1) Make a short cut for you mod using the UMOD wizard and ensure the commad line looks like so:
C:\UT2003\System\UT2003.exe -UserLogo=MyLogo.bmp

OK, thanks guys.


EDIT: Ok, made a new UMS_Entry.UT2, but I can't find any way of my mod using it.
Saying 'NetBrowseMap=UMS_Entry.ut2' in the ini file doesn't work (I've checked the map and the map is fine)

I would much like to know how to replace menu music as well. I played Marble Madness and they managed to do it like this in their INI file:

[xInterface.ExtendedConsole]
(some stuff)
MusicManagerClassName=OGGPlayer.UT2OGGMenu

...

[OGGPlayer.UT2OGGMenu]
PlayList=(bRepeat=False,bShuffle=False,Current="Marble-Schwa1",Songs=())

Marble-Schwa1 is their song. I tried to do the same thing, but lo and behold, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I found out that UT was resetting my song value to the default every time I start the game!

How do you change the menu music?

 

[Daid303]

Well, I failed to change the entry level, but I did came up with this working hack:

//Hack (number 856743, change main menu music)
Controller.ViewPortOwner.Actor.GetEntryLevel().Song = "UMS_Main_Menu_Music";

that's done in the InitComponent of the main menu class.
