« on: 19. January 2021, 01:13:10 »I'm curious, is it like Half Life 2 when the background scene changes or is it always level 1 ?
Edit : just tried it, it's a looping cutscene I thought it was in engine, silly me! Still, pretty cool for what it is. Thanks for the mod!

« on: 01. January 2021, 08:44:05 »This is awesome! I take it there are no plans to do any from any other scenes/levels?. Would be nice to have a handful of mods we can switch to as we progress similar to how the main menu in the Source games updates occasionally as we progress through the game.

« on: 18. December 2020, 18:00:49 »AFAIK the English and German versions are the only official releases. The fact that we have a French translation mod would seem to confirm that there is no French release.

« on: 18. December 2020, 15:56:53 »maybe they say "FR translation not available"?
also no idea why did I attach notes.str, will fix once I get back to my main rig.

« on: 17. December 2020, 16:27:17 »for SS2? yeah, the official NDS discord has a general SS2 section. I usually drop links to mods and tools there once they go live here.

I didn't notice. Good work!

« on: 16. December 2020, 11:37:05 »Looks really cool! Also nice how the animation works (a bunch of smaller png's overlaying on the main picture).
What would be ubercool it to have small maps of each level (which would load depending on the current quicksave latest available map) which would work in real time, with living enemies patroling the corridors. The way HL2 and some mods work.

18 Jan 2021
by ZylonBane
Requires SS2 NewDark patch.
This mod replaces the main menus with menus in a more modern style.
There are separate English, German, and international (anything other than English or German) versions of this mod. This is necessary because SS2's UI code only knows how to center text within each text region. There's no way to tell it to left-justify text, so to make it look as if it is, I had to fake it by sliding each text field around until they lined up. This only works when the precise text of each field is known, so it has to be done on a per-language basis. The international version just gives up and leaves everything centered, and with more vertical spacing to accommodate any text overflowing to multiple lines.

This was specifically inspired by the menus for Valve's Source Engine games, which show a live scene from the game behind the menu text. I wanted to see if I could pull off something similar-looking in Dark.
