| [[Arma 3 Apex]] introduces new main menu defined in the [[RscDisplayMain]] ressource.
| |
| | |
| [[File:a3 mainMenu.jpg|512px]]
| |
| | |
| == World Scene == | |
| World scene is a scenario shown behind main menu when a specific terrain is loaded and [[Arma_3_Startup_Parameters#Game_Loading_Speedup|-skipIntro]] is not used. If you're playing on Altis and leave to main menu, Altis scene will be used.
| |
| | |
| The scene must be defined in an addon either in the terrain configuration or later by overwriting the existing configurations.
| |
| | |
| === Guidelines ===
| |
| By default, the scene uses a camera but any scriptable system can be used, such as OGV videos.
| |
| * All content of the scenario should be placed in the ''Intro'' [[Eden_Editor:_Scenario_Phases|phase]].
| |
| * The scene should work on 16:9 screen. Multiple monitors doesn't need to be considered, as the main menu shows a grey background there.
| |
| | |
| For a better player experience, the scene should meet following criteria:
| |
| * Lower performance makes navigating the menu uncomfortable.
| |
| * Low [[setViewDistance|view distance]] (~200 m) is recommended.
| |
| * Avoid Camera looking down or towards sloped terrain, so the view distance is not as apparent.
| |
| * Avoid Unlit night scenes (dark menus on dark scene don't look well).
| |
| * Avoid Bad weather (hides shadows).
| |
| | |
| === Configuration for Stratis terrain ===
| |
| config.cpp (must be binarized)
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
| |
| class CfgPatches {
| |
| class mainmenu {
| |
| units[] = {};
| |
| weapons[] = {};
| |
| requiredVersion = 0.1;
| |
| requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder"};
| |
| };
| |
| };
| |
| class CfgWorlds
| |
| {
| |
| class Stratis
| |
| {
| |
| cutscenes[] = {"MyWorldScene"}; // Class names of used scenes. When more than one is present, the system will pick one randomly.
| |
| };
| |
| initWorld = "Stratis";
| |
| demoWorld = "Stratis";
| |
| };
| |
| class CfgMissions
| |
| {
| |
| class Cutscenes
| |
| {
| |
| class MyWorldScene // Class referenced in 'cutscenes' property in CfgWorlds
| |
| {
| |
| directory = "MyAddon\MyScene.Stratis"; // Path to scenario with the scene
| |
| };
| |
| };
| |
| };
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| === Default Scenario with camera ===
| |
| <ol>
| |
| <li>Open [[Eden Editor]] on the desired terrain</li>
| |
| <li>Switch to ''Intro'' [[Eden_Editor:_Scenario_Phases|phase]] and place a player character (the system will not work without a player!)</li>
| |
| <li>Save the scenario using the name defined by ''directory'' property in config (''MyScene.MyWorld'' in our example)</li>
| |
| <li>Open scenario folder (''Scenario > Open Scenario Folder'')</li>
| |
| <li>Create '''initIntro.sqf''' file, it will be run automatically at the scene start</li>
| |
| <li>Copy the code below to the file
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
| |
| [
| |

| |
| ] call BIS_fnc_initWorldScene;</syntaxhighlight>
| |
| The script will automatically add a subtle vignette and play main menu theme repeatedly.
| |
| </li>
| |
| <li>Replace scenes in the [[Array|array]] with your scenes captured by [[Arma 3: Splendid Camera]]. Make sure to use "InitDummy" [[String|string]] at the beginning. The example currently uses two Stratis scenes, you replace them with as many scenes as you wish.
| |
| * Optionally, add assets to the scene in the editor if needed (e.g., soldiers walking around, parked vehicles, etc.)</li>
| |
| <li>Move the scenario folder to your addon folder (as defined by ''directory'' property in config; ''MyAddon\MyScene.Stratis'' in our example)</li>
| |
| </ol>

| | |
| == Spotlight ==
| |
| Three large square buttons in the middle of the main menu are spotlight buttons. While the left and right ones are hard-coded, the middle one can be used by any mod-maker.
| |
| | |
| It's possible to define a list of spotlights, with the system picking randomly from them every time the menu refreshes (i.e., startup or returning from sub-menu).
| |
| | |
| === Configuration ===
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
| |
| class CfgMainMenuSpotlight // RscDisplayMain >> Spotlight works but is considered obsolete since SPOTREP #00064
| |
| {
| |
| class CoopCampaign
| |
| {
| |
| text = "Coop Campaign"; // Text displayed on the square button, converted to upper-case
| |
| textIsQuote = 1; // 1 to add quotation marks around the text
| |
| picture = "\a3\Ui_f\Data\GUI\Rsc\RscDisplayMain\spotlight_1_apex_ca.paa"; // Square picture, ideally 512x512
| |
| video = "\a3\Ui_f\Video\spotlight_1_Apex.ogv"; // Video played on mouse hover
| |
| action = "ctrlactivate ((ctrlparent (_this select 0)) displayctrl 101);"; // Code called upon clicking, passed arguments are [<button:Control>]
| |
| actionText = $STR_A3_RscDisplayMain_Spotlight_Play; // Text displayed in top left corner of on-hover white frame
| |
| condition = "true"; // Condition for showing the spotlight
| |
| };
| |
| class AnotherCoopCampaign
| |
| {
| |
| text = "Another Coop Campaign";
| |
| picture = "\a3\Ui_f\Data\GUI\Rsc\RscDisplayMain\spotlight_1_eastwind_ca.paa";
| |
| action = "ctrlactivate ((ctrlparent (_this select 0)) displayctrl 149);";
| |
| actionText = $STR_A3_RscDisplayMain_Spotlight_Play;
| |
