Render The map in MainMenu

[PVJsquad]

anyone know how to render the map on the main menu

[Rithy58]

Why would you want to do that? Why not just use a picture of the map on the main menu?

I don't remember much of the source code but if you really want to, you can initialize the DirectX stuff when the main menu loaded, instead of after the connection is created. Make sure to use some kind of picture box(idk, hadn't touch VB6 for years) and init the DirectX onto it. The same way it is done onto picScreen and From there, simply BltMap and use one of the map#.dat

I honestly don't see why you have to do this but that's how you'd go and do it with DirectX7\. I'm sure DirectX8 would be easier if the main menu is drawn using Dx8.

Sincerely,
