New background for menu

This would be a great background to replace the existing one on the main menu:

Ask the guy if you can use it.

Its yet another fictionnal space picture...Trem is a FPS on solid ground (or at least a space station) with humans resisting against an alien invasion. Its not a game where you explore unknown planets and deep dark space

If the main menu image changes, it must be to something that s more like Trem...With guns, and aliens.
For example an image of a human team and a Tyrant in the background...

I like the subtle star animation in the current one... all I could see that picture being is static.. unless you could find some way to integrate some kind of animation or movement or some sort then I think i'd rather stick with the current one.
Plus.. this one might construe something about a story line that doesn't exist.

Ksempac, why does the image have to be literal?
I like the suggested image due to a higher quality then the current one, but I'd really dislike a tyrant and hummie posing for the background.

You cant yet.

[OT]Can't you set a rule in phpBB2 forums against posts with all letters CAPITALIZED? I've seen that on other forums (not on a phpBB2 forum though).[/OT]

Other forums are using vBulletin, the best software for forums in existance. I will look for a pk3 editor, and make it into an alternate menu.

The way i think it looks is like earth, and the moon is being bombed.

Or an image of orbital station half clean, half covered by some alien creep with gunfight flashes that sometimes appear in the windows.

The best forum isn't vBulletin either but it sure isn't pbpBB :evil:

Said a really annoying thing

Thank you for proving my point on how much phpBB is crap but could you PLEASE AVOID breaking the page layout with that post?

Anyway, I kind of like the current intro screen and would really like to see an improved version with the same theme. Like the one proposed by the OP :)

vBullitin has the best forums in my opinion.  Every forum ive been on that was vBullitin was an awsome forum.

http://forums.cncden.com is I belive a phpNuke forum... just check thier features out.  Flawless search that doesnt have usless "Results found! Please wait!" pages, it goes strait to the results.  Also, you can type anything in the search, not those stupid restrictions that say you cant have less than a 4 lettered word.

You can hover your mouse over a topic to read the first 4 sentences or so of what its about.

The link I provided above even has a custum mod-skin that you can choose once you register that has a built-in chat-room esk spam-box that self updates on the forum index, where you can pop in a word or two and will instantantly show the message.

And I HATE how most forums insist on forwarding your browser to whatever post you just made when you hit the "submit" button after typing a message.  Its so usless, why would you bother reading the post you already wrote?  I much prefer forums that automatically take you strait to the topic list right after you post a reply, it makes more sense, and is quicker.

Plus, the quick reply feature of vBuilliten is great, much better than having to click your way through a series of links like you have to do on a phpBB forum.

Anyways, back on topic  :D

its there to prevent double posting... as some ppl double click 'submit' unfortunatelly it doesn't always work and most forums take you to the top post.

picture looks great but no its complete crap in a proper look. its like a new big house your blown away by it and 'its the best thing' then the novelty wheres off then you look closly and realise you bought a BIG piece of shit that disguised as a flower.

the current one is 3d as in you can import it into GTKR the plant is a big patch  easy to do... the idea for it is great but the background does look alittle bare

Wasn't it about a mining corporation harvesting minerals on a place where the aliens live and don't like the human presence?

Yeah, i agree to that and maybe it is somehow half destroyed by explosions, like the carnage in parts of Transit, or how about we show a section of a map (maybe not used for current maps) and show a few AI humans making a patrol or a dretch wall walks on the walls, or a granger builds an egg somewhere. I dont think that would require much code, but then again, im not a coder and don't have much experience...

too bad scripted action support is removed from q3 engine. companies implemented their own scripted action code though it is not open source.

plus what you want is a map under the menu which is possible but needs some effort
current menu system supports nonanimated 3d models,  rotating (only z axis) models, any kind of shader, and cinematics. I does not support animated models. well you can use cinematics but first you need to make it. in a 3d animation software or convert a demo to cinematic
