Title screen change

[Acera]

I'm looking for a small change in the Title Screen coding, i want the "new game", "continue" and "shutdown" buttons in a stair-like formation, i have a picture to show you what i mean. (sorry about the picture, imageshacks upload seems down).

The 3 buttons should also be around that location.

Thanks in advance

Luckily, I use the options in the same locations you want...so you don't have to edit them

But you have to create 6 images: the 3 options and the 3 option selected.

This is the result.

how are you supposed to create the images, are you supposed to change each option in the full menu graphic or make seperate graphics with only the lettering and how does the script know which image to turn on(do they have to have a certain name?) please let me know. Thank you.

Or you could, additionally, event this. The only scripting you'd have to do would be remove the default title screen.

 

[Jaberwoky]

You would name them newgame, newgame_active, continue, continue_active, etc...

If you feel like eventing it, this link explains it well enough: http://www.creationasylum.net/index.php?showtopic=12673
