 Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2005 1:31 am Post subject: Editing the Menus [In Progress] |
 |
|
When editing menus, there are a lot of things to learn. For example, you have to:
1. Have the text link
2. Tell that where to go
3. Make it load up a new menu
4. Make sure that the new menu knows where to go back to
5. Make a text link here
6. Etc...
Therefore, if you want to change around the order of the menu, this is simple. Just open wl_menu.c, and search for "far MainMenu". You will find this:
| Quote: | ...
{1,STR_NG,CP_NewGame},
{1,STR_SD,CP_Sound},
{1,STR_CL,CP_Control},
... |
If you for some reason wanted new game under sound, you'd switch the two lines around. Bearing in mind that if you move the last line, the last one doesn't have a comma at the end, and all the others do.
Now that part was pretty simple, but it's about to get worse. If we first, open up wl_menu.h, and search for "CP_New", you will find this:
| Quote: | void CP_NewGame(void);
void CP_Sound(void);
...
void CP_Quit(void);
void CP_Options(void);
... |
We have defined a new menu link. Now, go back to wl_menu.c, and search for "far MainMenu". Scroll down a bit until you see this:
| Quote: | ...
{1,"Options",CP_Options},
#ifndef GOODTIMES
#ifndef SPEAR
#ifdef SPANISH
// {2,"Ve esto!",CP_ReadThis},
#else
// {2,"Read This!",CP_ReadThis},
#end if
#end if
#end if
... |
We have now replaced the "Read This" with "Options".
To be updated...
OLD CRAP:
Our first mission in this tutorial is to remove the ReadThis (we will get it back later), and replacing it with an Options Menu. So...
Open wl_menu.h and search for: "CTL_H". Underneath this, write:
| Code: | OPT_X 75
OPT_Y 55
OPT_W 178
OPT_H 13*10+6 |
I will explain what these mean later!
Now scroll down to "DrawChangeView (int view);" and add this below it:
| Code: | | void DrawOptScreen(void); |
Also, scroll down to "CP_ChangeView" and add this below it:
| Code: | | void CP_Options (void); |
Then a little further down, you will see: "changeview,". Underneath add:
Now open wl_menu.c, and search for "NewItems". Above this add:
| Code: | | OptItems={OPT_X,OPT_Y,6,-1,56}; |
Now, find "{2,Read This!,CP_ReadThis}." and delete the whole line. Now just up a little, where "{1,STR_CV...." is, add this line underneath it:
| Code: | | {1,"Options",CP_Options}, |
Now find "far CtrlMenu[]". Under this routine, add:
| Code: | far OptMenu[]=
{
{1,"ReadMe",CP_ReadThis}.
{0,"Future Menu Things",0},
{1,"Future Menu Things",0},
}, |
The first number shows wether its active or not (1 = active), the second is the text shown, and the 3rd is what the menu links to. Where I've wrote 0, they are void, and don't go anywhere!
Now find "CP_Control", and above the routine.. write this:
| Code: | ////////////////////////////
// OPTIONS MENU
////////////////////////////
void CP_Options (void)
{
int which;
#ifdef SPEAR //this is where images are cahced!
//UnCacheLump (OPTIONS_LUMP_START,OPTIONS_LUMP_END);
//CacheLump (CONTROL_LUMP_START,CONTROL_LUMP_END);
#endif
DrawOptScreen();
MenuFadeIn();
WaitKeyUp();
do
{
which=HandleMenu(&OptItems,&OptMenu[0],NULL);
} while(which>=0)
MenuFadeOut();
#ifdef SPEAR //this is where images are cahced!
//UnCacheLump (CONTROL_LUMP_START,CONTROL_LUMP_END);
//CacheLump (OPTIONS_LUMP_START,OPTIONS_LUMP_END);
#endif
} |
As we will be keeping the OPTIONS logo, there is no need to Cache or UnCache anything.
Now search for "DrawCtlScreen(void)", and above it write:
[code]//////////////////
//DRAW OPTIONS SCREEN
//////////////////
void DrawOptScreen(void)
{
int i;
ClearMScreen();
VWB_DrawPic(80,0,C_CONTROLPIC);
VWB_DrawPic(112,184,C_MOUSEBACKPIC);
DrawWindow(OPT_X-8,OPT_Y-5,OPT_W,OPT_H,BKGDCOLOR);
WindowX=0;
WindowW=320;
SETFONTCOLOR(TEXTCOLOR,BKGDCOLOR);
DrawMenu(&OptItems,&OptMenu[0]);
//PICK FIRST AVALIABLE SPOT
if (OptItems.curpos<0 || !OptMenu[OptItems.curpos].active)
for(i=0;i<6;i++)
if (OptMenu[i].active)
{
OptItems.curpos=i;
break;
}
DrawMenuGun(&OptItems);
VW_UpdateScreen();
}
This should give you a Options Menu, which takes you to a choice of Read This and two blank menus.
Will update soon!
