Good idea! That will be useful for anyone who wants to mod the menu screens.......such as me. :D

Once youre done, or anytime youre free, can you tell me what the file names are, which format they have to be and their dimensions? Thanks.
Well, anything that involves menu backgrounds, descriptions for cars, showcases, etc. are located in MM2TEX.AR inside the JPG folder. The buttons are scattered throughout the main directory, and are usually .TGA files. They are mixed along with .TEX files and some of them have Alpha channels. I'm still trying to figure out how some of them work, which is why I made these reference pictures. If you want the PSD file(s) when I'm completely done, just ask me for it and I'll send it to you. I'll be happy to supply you guys with source files, because I'm nice like that :lol:

Yes, you are nice. :) Thanks, but you dont have to do that. I just remembered that I can check the file names and types when you release the mod.

More progress:

I also just want to make this very clear as of right now:

The pictures I will be posting throughout the various stages of this mod DOES NOT REFLECT THE FINAL VERSION! This means that at any time, I could change the splash screen I posted, I could change the vehicle showcase I just posted, I could change anything, and until the mod is released to the public, anything I post is STRICTLY FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES. :D

Personally I liked the darker blue splash screen better. You have improved, but I still see mistakes in the text. =P

Good idea. xD

7th line, why is it in speech marks when it isn't a name or dialogue?
4th line, where is the other ' to close the words 1996 Rover Group Limited?

Oh and one more piece of advice, try to have the Volkswagen to blend into the background, honestly it looks like a picture freshly copied and pasted to another. Wait, don't do that if you prefer the darker background version. :P

Very nice vehicle selection menu screen and great idea have made it with the guide lines, that can well save some time with the correct menu screen elements positioning. :) Keep up the good work. :wink:

I just copied the original copyright from the original splash screen as is, I didn't make any modifications to it. And why have it blend in? It looks good the way it is.

Sorry, I was just expressing my opinion. You did type out the copyright right? I'm only pointing out some grammar mistakes.

I haven't given up guys, just trying to find some time to do some more modding. I haven't had hardly ANY time. At all. It sucks!

The menu looks really stylish, but bring a bit race feeling in it.

As I said, anything I post can and most likely will be changed at any time. That menu I posted was a simple test to see if the Alpha channel stuff I made was useful.
