Critsandvich Custom Menu!

[Vivi Hill]

I've just finished setting up a custom menu just for Critsandvich lovers! Here's what it looks like. Once you've installed this menu, all you need to do to join one of our servers is click the button!

Reserved slot holders can use this to join a reserved slot instantly (no more messy console commands)!

Installation
Place this file in your tf/resources folder:
http://www.filedropper.com/gamemenu

And put this one in your tf/resources/ui folder (create it if you have to):
http://www.filedropper.com/mainmenuoverride

Restart your game and you should be all set!

For those of you who already use a custom MainMenuOverride.res file, all you need to add is at the bottom of the file.

I don't know if it's me, but the Slaybox 2 button doesn't work.

For Mac users, this is the path you need to follow:
Users/*you*/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/*your handle*/team fortress 2/tf/resource/ui (be sure to create the "ui" folder if you don't have it already, as Benny said for PCs).

WARNING: the file will be relabeled as a .txt upon download. In this form it doesn't work.

[Hatred]

Beautiful work .... and this effort is what makes crit sandvich the best

and the ppl .... and the modded but not over-modded servers .... and the quality of tf2 server provider ... and the active role the top brass play in the community ....


i think i'm in love

[Enigma]

Sweeeeet. Now I don't have to copy the IP and paste it in console.

The slaybox 2 button worked for me when I tried it just now.

it works for me on my mac
just have to besure that when you save it you select the option to NOT add the .txt extension to it and just save the file as MainMenuOverride.res

[Zclipse]

Pretty cool benny.

[Twinweapons]

Zcilpse you play sc2 as well? what rank im in diamond. It works great for me thanks alot its awesome. Great work Benny *highfive*

[Harpo_53]

If I only I wasn't so lazy, I would've been able to make one of these myself...

Also, am I the only one who finds "Welcome Back, Benny Hill is Back" to be slightly amusing?

[Smeemo]

Nice work, Benny!

I found it amusing too

[Hatred]

hey benny is there a way out can make the server names change color if they are full or something ?

I was thinking myself about how it would be neat if they told you the server count. But I don't know of a way to do that. I think to fetch variables like that you'd need to do some modifying of the code rather than the config files. It's certainly above my skill level, and since not many people mess with the menu very much I doubt there is anyone who would be able to figure it out. If I ever figure out a way to do that, though, I will add it.

And HOW do I go about this? I've gone over the Preferences menu with a fine-toothed comb and there's no option like you mentioned; it's just automatic.

It automatically does that, but it still changes the extension upon download.
Is there some way to switch this off as there is for Windows?

I think the Hatless update broke the custom menu. When I reinstalled it after Hatless, TF2 crashed for me after the loading screen with the splash page of TF2 art. When I deleted my /resources/ and /scripts/ folders (initially to uninstall FrankenHUD), TF2 started working again. Now I've reinstalled FrankenHUD, and it works. When I had no FrankenHUD but yes custom menu, it crashed.

As an aside, does anyone know what this ??? menu item I got when I installed FrankenHUD does? Clicking it does nothing.

[Vivi Hill]

Sorry, I know the menu is broken. I'm going to fix it whenever I start playing TF2 again (after Portal 2 has left my mind).

[Dèx]

When will this be up and running again?

[Vivi Hill]

Whenever I get around to fixing it. Pretty soon.

[The 12th Doctor]

Do you want me to take a crack at it? It'll be late this week before I even get to look at it, but still.

[Vivi Hill]

Yeah, feel free. It's not a very difficult thing to do, just that I've been busy with exams and stuff and don't want to spend time fiddling.

[The 12th Doctor]

Done. I'll send it to you, Benny. If you approve, I'll let the others use it as well.

Note: I also removed the store stuff, mainly because I haven't been to the store since the Japanese earthquake. If you guys want, I could fiddle around with it more to put store functionality back in. Just no "Featured item" crap cluttering up the menu.

[tehs4ndman]

i want this back, RAI NAO

[The 12th Doctor]

Well, after a bit of personal testing and getting one or two others to try it, I'm going to go ahead and release it.

Place this file in your tf/resources folder:
http://www.filedropper.com/gamemenu

And put this one in your tf/resources/ui folder (create it if you have to):
http://www.filedropper.com/mainmenuoverride

[Mike808]

works great
