CMS Request

[Red Eye Dragoon]

I need a script that will make my menu screen look like this(except not black and white and more organized):

If you can do it I'd be very appreciative.

[modern algebra]

Darklord does some nice ones. I don't think he's taking requests now but if you wait a while, he'd probably be able to do it.

I've improved my scripting capabilities a little since I last took a CMS request. Shouldn't take me all that long to crank it out. I will need to know the dimensions of your character face pictures before that can be implemented though.

[Red Eye Dragoon]

For the hero face pics, i will probublt just be using their sprites.

[Shinami]

That'll work good for space constraints so everything won't appear bunched together.

[Red Eye Dragoon]

Sounds great . Btw you made my first CMS a long time ago,when thou was still a noob with scripting.

[Shinami]

Yes, it was the first request I had ever taken and is what got me rooted in scripting. Soon though, I'd like to progress onto Ruby!

EDIT:Alright. Most of the visual work is done. I'll set up the equipment to show and then it'll be onto the inside details of the actual workings of the menu. I still need to resize a few things as well so that'll add to this. I'd have had it done by now but WoW has the amazing ability to derail whatever plans I make...

CLICKY CLICKY!

[Fortis]

Wow, very nice man.

[Red Eye Dragoon]

Looks great! Keep up the good work

[Shinami]

done and done. Insert this script above main and it'll work fine.

SCREENY!!! CLICKY CLICKY!

And here is a comparison to the first script I ever wrote.Ironicly, it was for the same person! XD

I've come a long ways since those days ^^ i'm almost embarrassed to see my first script even though I'm the one who wrote it... T.T twas back before I knew how redefined methods worked.
