KevinBoy Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Does anyone know how to make it so the main menu doesn't have to be jpg so it could be animated like the picture below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 okay, this is a stupid idea but maybe, just maybe it will work.Open it in visual basic 6 and change the pictue to the animated one ( make sure its in your gfx folder when you change the picture)ive never opened eclipse with visual basics, so i might just be posting crap.

japez Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It would be better to implement a dx7 engine so you can implement that animation in your game. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0lz Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Don't make the rain so intense, make the font's more legible and it would look nice. Nice background btw did you make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 @Kevin:> Does anyone know how to make it so the main menu doesn't have to be jpg so it could be animated like the picture below.> You need to find out how GIF works then you need to load each frame, you can also do this with some library if not Win32 API. Afterwards, with all your frames you can form an animation with DirectX 7, DirectX 8 or just GDI.Regards, Goddie, the Irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 mhh its ok, but i guess u should add the rain on the loginform itself.anyhow, is that a wow screenshot at the back or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japez Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 No, lol.Its probably a digital painting from deviant art or somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 GUIs don't have to be JPG format, nor BMP in Eclipse. If you're editing the source to get that sort of layout anyway, it shouldn't be too much to allow for an animated GIF or something for your background images.Anyway, that really looks neat, but the main interaction window (with the buttons and login) should be in front of the rain. Also if you didn't make the background image make sure you have full permission to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBoy Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I try uploading it into the source as a bg but the image still stays still ;x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I forget how exactly but you DO NOT NEED THE SOURCE.Go into your GUI folder and makemain0.gif main1.gif main2.gif main3.gifor mainmenu0.gif mainmenu1.gifI forget how exactly but it can be done without the source, pickle added this in TE.
