Nmn Posted March 18, 2005 You mean editing or makig signs like "New game" and so on? Any good graphics program. Get Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, hunt a font named "Doom" (or whatever You want to choose) and there You go. If You however meant to edit the menus in such a way the options are like on the bottom of the screen or adding some new menus (like new game options)-that's going to require some programming skills and modifying an exe (probably of Your favorite source port). 0 Share this post Link to post

EarthQuake Posted March 19, 2005 Unless you're talking about a source port, Doom never had a HUD. It had a statusbar and it can be replaced by replacing the appropriate graphics from the iwad. Just use XWE to open doom2.wad (DONT CHANGE ANYTHING) and browse the different graphics (the ones you want shoudl be closer to the top). After you find them, export them, edit them, and insert them into a new pwad using the same name that they came out of the iwad with. As for the menu, you can't change it, but you can replace the graphics each menu option displays by using the same method I described above. So instead of a "New Game" graphics, you could replace it with one that might say "Start Mission". 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven Posted March 20, 2005 You certainly do not need to change the EXE so the graphics appear at the bottom of the screen. Ever heard of sprite offsets? It's available for modding in XWE. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's available for modding in XWE. Um... Changing the position of the graphics has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with changing the position of the actual menu item. Think please. Even if you did want to switch graphics around using this method, YOU WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE copies of the graphics in the wad just to set the offsets. In that case, why not just replace the others altogether? 0 Share this post Link to post
