My animated main menu working in Morrowind

Yup, it's working, fully functional, and the release is on it's way.

Just a disclaimer before anyone comments- the jitteryness on movements and the long pause for the animation to start after the Morrowind logo came down were all caused by ingame lag etc. from fraps, there's no need to worry about this menu lagging your game though, it runs great without fraps, I was getting around 88 FPS.

So how does it work? With the help of MGE's texture hooking function, all you've got to do to install an animated main menu is hook a texture to the "mw_menu" texture file, this file will be replaced with a text file which MGE will read and render your chosen texture or video file over the existing texture. The intro part with the logo coming down was done by replacing the "mw_logo.bik" file with my own "mw_logo.bik" file.

Check out the WIP thread here, I'll update this with the release thread link when the time comes:

Hey so...does your menu with that full map of Morrowind mean the Tamriel Rebuilt stuff is finished?

[starwarsguy9]

@thestudland, no...

[ParadoxPerspective]

Is this out yet? o.0

I hope it's not a dropped WIP. :(

[starwarsguy9]

@ParadoxPerspective, no, it isn't out yet, I haven't had my computer for over a year. But I'm getting it back soon, and I should have it released soon (I hope) after that.
