Main Menu Movie Question...

ReallyDedPoet · 10-05-14, 01:45 PM

Looking at making the main menu background transparent ( done ) and expanding the movie in that screen so that it is full screen. This has been done in SH4 and 5.

Is this possible? I have been looking at the menu.ini and have not figured it out yet.

Thanks for any assistance

hi there RDP,

edit your menu_ini and find the entry:

[GF0 I3]
Type=1038;Movie
ItemID=0xF0000002
ParentID=0xF0000000
Pos=574,738,470,470
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=DATA/MOVIES/BACKGRND/back1.bik
MatFlags=0x8
MatColor=0xFFFFFFC0
TexFmt=0x2
MovieName=DATA/MOVIES/BACKGRND/back1.bik

note that the above entry is from stock menu_ini

change the Pos line to
Pos=0,768,1024,768 if you use a 1024x768 gui
or to
Pos=0,768,1360,768 if you use a 1360x768 gui

Thanks for the response :-)

Just seeing this. I am using your widescreen gui with a bunch
of other stuff.

Edit: Does anything need to happen with this line: Zone= 0 602 1024 436 6 1 0xF0000000 0.5 -0.5 0xF0000002 -0.5 0.5 0 0
Just noticing the bold settings are still at stock.

I get the blank screen background I want, only the menu options are there, but with the movie with those settings I get a jumbled picture that is not full screen.

The movie I want to use is from a SH5 Mod that was made a few years ago. Could it be something to do with the aspect ratio of that movie?

I may have a look at a mod Captain Cox did with SH4 ( Pacific Theatre ) to see what his menu.ini settings were. The menu.ini I am testing this with is the one from your Widescreen Gui. And I have nothing installed overtop of it. But I will double-check.

Thanks for the response
