QW262 JaM Menu System now available for ezQuake!

http://learnphysics.narod.ru/jam_menu.png


Example available here.


BorisU added to ezQuake hud elements which were in use in qw262 client.
I have decided to adapt JaM menu system for ezQuake.



Requiriments.
To be able to see JaM menu you must have:
cl_hud 1

Unfortunately for unknown reasons cl_hud is write protected
if ruleset smackdown active.
Hope it will be changed in next version of ezQuake.

Instructions for testing (2 variants):
1)You can use my config as is. Because I use userdir for storing config
It will cause no harm to your config.
Start any of bat files provided (You may need to change screen resolution).

2)Copy jam_lib.cfg, jam_menu.cfg amd _ms folder to your config directory.
Start ezquake. Set cl_hud 1. Set ruleset default. Exec jam_menu.cfg.
Start new game or connect to any server.
Press right arrow. Use up, down, left, right to navigate.


Main aliases in jam_menu.cfg:
1) navigation:
bind UPARROW _ms_up // scroll menu up
bind DOWNARROW _ms_dn // scroll menu down
bind RIGHTARROW _ms_sel // execute menu command under selected item
bind LEFTARROW _ms_esc // go to upper level menu (hides menu if first tlevel)

You can change binds

2)folder _ms has some samples of possible menus.
Adding new menu item (already done in provided example):
a)add to main.mnu line:
_ms_item " Names > " "_ms_menu name.mnu"

_ms_item is alias that takes 2 arguments: caption and command.
b)create file name.mnu in _ms folder
c)add lines to name.mnu:
_ms_head " Choose Name "

_ms_item " bot " "_ms_off $smc name bot"
_ms_item " player " "_ms_off $smc name player"

_ms_head adds menu caption.
If you want to add command to item that consists of several commands you have
to separate them with $smc.
$sms is actually ';'


Have fun,
sss

Woah! Nice to see the Jams menu getting injected into ezQ. But I will still use QW262 for TF (.. for now.. ). Still.. kudos to BorisU.

Use bit.ly. Anyway the correct link gives 0 bytes file.

BTW quakeworld.ru admin was bored when making up such extension?

Update.
I has reworked code a bit. It is more readable now.

Does anyone interested in other jam's scripts?
Question is mainly addressed for remaining TF players (if any exist).

And one more question.
Can anyone give reasonable objections for banning cl_hud 1 in smackdown?
