Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

I recently realized that in DCX and DCFX, when you load a map right above the "Press Escape to Cancel" there's a percent that goes up with the loading bar. I'd like to enable this in my minimod/patch but I don't know how they did it. I can't find it referenced in game.rfa or any of the maps.

I've never seen this before, but try checking menu.rfa

Probaly the InGame file. Don't ask me how because its difficult to figure that file out.

Well I copied it to my patch and it did work, the percent was there but it moved the loading bar down and to the side so it didn't fit in the border correctly.

Thats because the InGame file also governs a large part of the resolutions and sized of the stuff that's on screen. The file you used belongs to a different mod with altered resolutions to exactly fit their menu's. You'll need to find and change those values. Don't ask me how though, I just copied the FinnWars InGame so I could have the class restriction they had ^^ and it messed up my lay out as well.

I managed to move the "Pause" graphic that is displayed when the game is paused to the lower left side of screen in my mod. So I'm slowly learning the meme system. I moved it because when I do the showstats thing to retrieve object positions, I have to pause the game sometimes since that is the only way to get the freecam to go "underground". Or at least really close to the ground. The stock file had the pause text covering up the camera cooridents and was annoying as hell. So I moved it. I like it better in the place I put it. Cause now it doesn't obstruct the fullscreen minimap either.

However i don't know how to "add" things. So if you can add only the percent feature from the mod (and not everything else it had)

Then I can probably find it and move it to the correct location. Otherwise, I can't help much.

I have cameras in your head!

They have that in Galactic Conquest as well. Maybe check it out ?

The Menu Editor is something I never learned how to do, and of all the things in Battlefield 1942 which I can do, Menus are not one of them. All I know is that inside the Menu.rfa there is a number of files with no extension that hold data for where menu and GUI pieces are placed, work, and how they are represented on screen. This is how Desert Combat added an extra kit to the game, but again, don't ask me. xD
