Custom 2D Menu Background

[yaybeat]

A simple tutorial to replace the default BO1 zombies menu background (3D interrogation room / TVs) with a custom 2D image.

Step 1 — Place the menu files

Copy the following files into your mod folder:

mods/<yourmodname>/ui/main.menu
mods/<yourmodname>/ui/main_online.menu
mods/<yourmodname>/ui/private_mission_select_zombie.menu

And this file into your maps folder:

mods/<yourmodname>/maps/frontend.gsc

Step 2 — Create your menu image

Create an image with the following specs:

Size: 1024 x 1024 (or 2048 x 2048)

Format: .dds (24-bit, no alpha)

Content: Your custom background image

Save the image as mon_menu.dds

Step 3 — Create the material in Asset Manager

Open Asset Manager

Load your .gdt file

Click New Entry

Name: mon_menu

Set the following parameters:

materialType 2d
surfaceType <none>
blendFunc Replace
alphaTest Always
tile no tile
mipmap nomip bilinear

In the Color map field, click ... and select your mon_menu.tga

File → Save

PC Convert → Convert Selected

Step 4 — Copy files to your mod

Once the conversion is done, copy the generated files:

mods/<yourmodname>/images/mon_menu.iwi

Step 5 — Add entries to mod.csv

Open mods/<yourmodname>/mod.csv and add the following lines:

material,mon_menu
rawfile,maps/frontend.gsc
menufile,ui/main.menu
menufile,ui/main_online.menu
menufile,ui/private_mission_select_zombie.menu

Step 6 — Build and test
