Topic: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Hey.. again.. smile

This has bin on my mind for sometime.. Just like the other stuff I post here.. lol

If Teeworlds is going to have a "Main Menu" one day.. here is what I think it should look like..

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6460/teeworldsstartup.png
"concept image" <- don't know if that is the right word to explain it.. xD and yes.. I know I typed it wrong.. xD lol
oh.. and the "concept image" "preview" should be transparent ( forgot to edit that.. ( fixed in a later image .. just look down.. )


Buttons on the Menu:

Editor: Launches the editor ( its like a button for  "ctrl+shift+E" )

Multiplayer: Launches the server browser..

Settings: goes in to settings..

0.8.0: <- is a button..   that shows change log.. ( ore it could be a "credits" button )

Tutorial: is a map for the beginners to learn how to play teeworlds and the movements in teeworlds.. ( like individual levels ore something like that I don't know..  )

Quti: it asks you if you want to quit the game..


well.. I am not that good with Photoshop so it might be better to include this image for the explanation: ( GO! Drawing ) smile

http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9662/img0640ax.jpg

Explanation..

If the mouse hovers over one of the "main buttons" the background will change to the "concept" image.. like this:

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8986/teeworldshoverovermp.png

"the mouse is now over the Multiplayer Tab.." ( you might want to combine the drawing and this photo to understand it, if you don't get it.. tongue )


so thats basically it… smile


What do you guys think about that ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT 1:

I Just made it in flash..

here is a preview: ( click on the image to test it out ) big_smile
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8803/teeemenufla.png
oh.. and I typed "Training" wrong.. LOL

it docent look that good.. because its black and white, would had looked better if it had some color images.. wink

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT 2:
I made a new version: smile

Actually we are thinking about reworking the start menu for 0.7

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Thought i would prefer "the old menu" (getting instant to server browser), but your idea looks cute.
However, an "Editor"-Tab for the current one would be nice. (Mb left to the settings-tab).

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Who knows, maybe "account based systems" will be implemented by then!

The concept is awesome, but your drawings for it aren't as great sad

Nice idea! smile

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Teeworlds is fast-paced, and getting into the actual gameplay should be just as fast. The current set-up already accomplishes this. I don't think it should be changed.

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

This is how I imagine it:
3 buttons 1 at top of each other:

Play

Map Editor
Settings

When you press Esc (Escape key) it will ask you are you sure you want to quit?
If it's the first time your playing tw and click "Play" it will ask:"Since this is the first time you are launching the game would you like to take a tutorial about the game first?"
If it's the first time your playing tw and click "Map Editor" it will ask:"Since this is the first time you are launching the Map Editor,would you like to take a tutorial explaining map editing?"

In the current main menu (server browser) there should be a button "About" containing Credits.
Change log should be a .txt file in the game directory not ingame.

What do you guys think?

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Good bye simple and boring main menu. Hello new and cool menu!

What shoud be included (in my opinion)

In "0.8" post credits of the Teeworlds Desenvolepers Team And Traslatiors (The list of traslations is here)

In my opinion we shoudnt have to click in "Multiplayer" to play. We shoud start the game in the Server Room, click in one bottum called "Menu (not Main Menu xD)" and start that. Like this:

Make a tutorial to Map Editor is very hard. Whith a video tutorial... mutch more easy...

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

I already made some months ago a concept (jungle style), this concept shows a new background idea, but I still don't like the right screen. hmm

It's awesome! Zatline, the background looks amazing! And it fits somehow with the idea of MertenNor. Nicely done, really (I prefer the first one tongue). Maybe the background could be selected in settings. smile

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

I love your idea Zatline. And a way to keep up with new games: Make an animated background! You know,while you change settings it could transition between grass;jungle;winter and desert background. I'm a mega fan of Half-Life and HL 2's backgrounds rock! ^^

An idea:Music corresponding to the background. When it's a grass background there should be birds whistling
For desert: Wind blowing sound.
For winter: Some bells and wind.
For jungle: Animal sounds

Because of the inclusion of your "fuckyou.txt" about downvotes, you are now a lot more likely to get downvoted for fun. Anyway, you were downvoted because your idea is silly. smile

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

Hello everyone, I tried to make one too. I know mine is not as tidy as Zatlines, but it was fun (:

Nice one, MertenNor, but I think everything is kind of big, the buttons should be smaller! Cool that you know flash!

Please check it out here!

There should be a function though, that lets you skip the menu everytime you turn on tw

Re: [idea] Teeworlds Main Menu concept..

I really like the idea of having a main menu. I think in general the menu system should be reworked completely, also the ingame menus. I quite like the ideas shown here, especially the drafts by Zatline.
