Main menu options doesn't work

[Ender]

When I start up Tremulous it takes me to a main screen with buttons for Play, Mod, Options and Quit. When I click Options it makes a noise as if it should do something, but it doesn't do anything that I can see. I'm using a .exe of Tremulous I downloaded that apparently supports GUID. When I used the original Tremulous .exe that can be downloaded from tremulous.net the options button opened up an options window. Does anyone know what's happened to the options button?

If it's helpful, when I startup the console says:
tremulous 1.1.0 win_mingw-x86 Feb 15 2007

I was wondering about that as well. I think its in a certain svn revision though not sure :/

ah, my friends the answer is this:

your ui_menuFiles cvar is set to read
and old menus.txt that does not include options.menu

I am uncertain how you managed to load
the new main.menu without loading the new menus.txt
in the same pack, but nevertheless...

The TJW client uses a different directory for
it's settings... if it changed when you installed that
then you should move your svn menus to your
C:\Docments and Settings\<Your User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base
(i think i remembered that right... i'm on linux)
Make sure show hidden folders is on so you can find it.

that should fix the problem. ^_^

so, whats it on linux?

[B1ackmagic]

Again, for linux make sure you can see hidden folders.

then /home/<username>/.tremulous/base
is the settings directory.  My menus all worked
when placed there.  (In their proper /ui subfolder, of course.)

I meant, where do you get the menu configs from. I had that binary a while ago, no idea where the configs disappeared to though.

[B1ackmagic]

oh, sorry.
this bugfixpack has them:
click me

or you could just download them
from the svn.

tjw broke the menus in svn at some point, they were recently fixed again, just get rid of any old tjw* pk3s in base and put in the current one from his server.

Wow, thanks for the great replies. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll report back when I do.

ah, i don't use his pk3s, that would explain it.
i do know that the typical cause of that is
using an old menus.txt equivalent without the options.menu
included in it.

oh and durand you seem to imply that the menus are some kind
of binary or are compiled into the executable... they are simply
text files.  the defaults are in the /ui dir of data-1.1.0.pk3.
When you d/l and place the svn menus in /ui of your
settings folder and then rename menus.txt menus.cfg
and set ui_menuFiles "ui/menus.cfg" then it will work.
