I was just wondering if any of you could tell me any information about creating a new Start up screen. I'm refering to the screen with the 'Enter Ship' and 'New Pilot' buttons. I've got my main image, that I want the screen to look like with none of the buttons in the 'mouseover' state, but I don't know how to go about creating the 'MouseDown' image and the 'MouseOver' image. I know what resource numbers they are, but what parameters are there?

BTW, when I talk about 'Mouseover' and 'Mousedown' I mean the images that are displayed when the mouse is rolled over (in EV it shows some animated balls_ and the image displayed when the mouse is pressed over one of the buttons (again, in EV the text lights up).

So to recap; what do I need to do to go from one still image, to the final working and seamless stat screen?

Find out what size the specified image is, then create a blank canvas of that size and draw what you want.

Yeah I know that, but do I have to include the mouseover animations? Does the Mousedown image have to be a certain size? etc etc....if anybody who has done this in a plug knows, then please reply. :frown:

Well...Just use the exsisting pictures and piant over them. The mouseover buttons can't be moved, but they can be re-designed and changed, ie: Quantumire, STEVO, Alpha Console...
You can put something like a REALLY FAT starfield and then when the player does the moue over thingy, the buttons pop up...or something like that. Unless I'm wrong, or I'm talking about the wrong thing...then ask me again later. I too lazy to think correctly right now...;)

PEACE YO!

That's excellent, but what about the little coloured balls? In my design they're isn't anything like that, so should I just leave them out, or put in a blank resource? Help, I'm feeling dumb. :frown:

Put in all black with an all black mask. That should make them invisible...
