[RELEASED] Easy Main Menu

If RFPS player object is tagged as "Player" the Easy Main Menu will work out of the box!

 

FAN-bloody-TASTIC!!

This looks great Hamzah. Would it be difficult to implement sub-menus for weapon selection? I have over 40 weapons that I would like to offer the player through the menu system. If there are only 10, I might as well just use the number keys.

Can the UFPS integration menu offer 5 or 6 icons and then offer a sub-menu showing each class of weapon along with a BACK button to return to the main menu? (ie: Melee, Pistols, Rifles, Explosives, "Specials", etc.)

One more question. Can it dynamically slice up and size the menu item containers or is it fixed at 10 slices?

Cheers an happy new year!

I created a new project with only EMM, and I can access the pause menu with esc within Maze play. But when I replace Maze with my scene, the pause does not work. Any suggestions?

 

I went back to basics, and created a new project with only EMM. The pause works during Maze play.

However, when I replace Maze with my scene, my scene works fine, but the pause on Esc key does not work in my scene. Suggestions?

 

Hi, sorry for inconveniences, did you added Gameplay UI (alt+shift+G) and if you have do you get any errors in console while pressing escape key..?

 

Hi, thanks a lot for your appreciation and that's not difficult to do, I will add it in upcoming updates (can't say any ETA) but just confirm me one thing, if we have more then 10 weapons, how are we gonna equip them?
Are we equipping them like previous 10 i.e something.Try("SetWeapon11"); or something.Try("SetWeapon12"); etc
that make sense right? lol

RFPS and main menu not working...erors

 

Can you please post the error and tell me when are these errors coming? While playing, while importing or while saving nd loading or somewhere else?

Hamzah

 

nullreferenceException:Object reference not set to an instance of an object...Main menuControler.playHoverClip() (at Asset/Easy main menu/scripts/main menu scripts/Main menucontroler

 

and OptionControler

 

hmm, you have to start from the loading screen, the EasyAudioUtility instance is missing, that's why this is occurring. Once you start game from loading screen, these errors will go and options controller will also work fine.

 

RPS+Main Menu=no suported main menu,some bug,,please integration

 

Hi, I will be Integrating EMM with RFPS in the next update!
Thanks for your patience and support!

Yes, makes sense. That's exactly how I do it now with my mouse scroll wheel. I set up each weapon under each character's weapon camera as 1knife, 2pistol, ... 50sniper, etc. Basically at the moment, 1-20 are melee, 21-30 are pistols, 31-40 are rifles, 41-50 are special weapons (grenades, flame throwers, etc.), and 51+ are miscellaneous (food, backpacks, things that don't really get equipped). As I scroll up or down, if the weapon is available, it is switched. If not it switches to the next available one.

Your last 1 second video is misleading and introduces confusion, it does not work.
The problem is you don’t start from an empty project you just delete some stuff out of the scene

If you actually did start from an empty scene you notice all the additional steps you have to do…

1 You have to import the FPS Script from standard assets
why would you make a 3rd party FPS counter asset mandatory for your asset?
why would you do that? what would you need and FPS counter for menus anyway?
that is just added complexity for no good reason
Never mind we are forced to have and FPS counter on our menu or start hacking code

2. EasyAudioUtility is not in the Hierarchy so you get errors and no music or sounds
You have to manually find and add the prefab to the scene.

3. You never made it clear that we don’t need to install the 3rd party assets “Effects” anymore because well they just aint there anymore are they? you do reference your 101 video where you show us how to install the effects we don’t need to install anymore.

It may seem I’m being over critical but I figured it out and went to the trouble posting on your forum thread to help you and others.
The next guy might just give up and give you a poor review and buy a different asset.

My Reccomendation would be
1. Never link your asset to 3rd party assets not even Unity ones, they’ll change underneath you and bite you in the ass, so drop the FPS or make it an option that is off by default
2. This is Bad comment, it takes up 3 lines !! and states the bleeding obvious

Code (CSharp):

1. /// <summary>
2. ///  Only sets the value
3. /// </summary>

This would be a better comment perhaps put where the option is set.

Code (CSharp):

1. // Toggle the Hud on and off

Anyways thanks for the Asset and don’t forget to K.I.S.S.

Cheers

Roy

 

Thanks Mark, I will be working on it soon.

 

I really can't thank you enough for your time and feedback. I reaaaallly appreciate it
I have copied your feedback in my notes and these will be the first thing I will be improving.
Now regarding the fps script, I don't see why it's causing problem. If you don't want fps to show then just simply disable/remove the FPS Text component from the UI.
I just added it so that developers can see the change in FPS when they tweak the values of Graphics Settings at runtime.
But now I think I should remove it as well. People can see that in the stats tab as well.

Thanks again for your time and this priceless feedback!

Ahh I tried that and was getting null ref errors I probably did it wrong.

While I'm on the subject lol
What would be really helpful is if you did a video something like “Making EMM your Own"
Where you go through the whole process of changing the images and sounds for a completely different game.

Example:
Make a transparent .png Logo about 300 – 400px White and you can change color and transparency
Grab 4 to 5 1920px x 1080px screenshots for background images ( tip use picpick )
Set the Texture Type to Sprite (2D UI) & wrap mode clamp All images

Logo goes in MainMenu / Main Menu / MainMenuCanvas / Logo
and Logo goes is in Loadingscreen / LoadingScreenCanvas / LoadingScreen / Logo
Background Image / BackgroundImage holds the main image

LoadingScreen / Loading Canvas / Loading Screen component holds the images in an array which might be hidden at the bottom (took me freakin ages to find them)

Mention LoadingScreen has to be called exactly “LoadingScreen” or it won’t work (Hardcoded)

I think that would really help people to use your asset for their own game.

Cheers

Roy

P.S.
It would be nice to see what menu's people make with your asset

 

I'm obviously still working on mine and it is Very early days but this is what I have so far...

 

I am getting this error

Type `UIController' does not contain a definition for `usingUFPS' and no extension method `usingUFPS' of type `UIController' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

any ideas?

 

Hi, I am very sorry for the inconveniences. Please check your messages, I have sent you the script with a quick fix!

This is by far the best use of EMM lol lol the ending made me rofl!!
Awesome for my EMM showcase!!

 

Hmm.. This sounds nice, I will infact upload a free UI Sprites package just for the re-skinning of the EMM!
Thanks for these wonderful suggestions!
These will really take EMM on next Level!

Hi guys, awesome news once again!
I have released a free version of EMM for anyone of you who are still thinking about buying it or not.
It's just for you to try before buy...



Asset Store : http://u3d.as/1221

 

Hi guys, hope you all are having an awesome day!

Just a short description about the Easy Main Menu #Free version :-

The #Free Version contains the FULLY Animated Main Menu but lacks the functionality like graphics, game, sound, control settings which are available in paid one.

It can be a Very Good base for anyone who is looking for just designs and he can easily build his own menu on top of it!

Also, guys, a humble request,
It will be really nice of you if you can rate the Free Version whenever you download it coz it will help other developers discover it on the store!
The free version can come really handy if you are looking for a kick-start to make your own menu!

Wish you all very best with your projects!

Looking forward to see what you guys can come up with!

Please support further development by buying my Assets :-

Hi There, I am really enjoying messing around with the assets, any updates on the joystick implementation?

 

Hi, Thanks for your support!

I believe as far as I know, EMM works with the 360 controller joystick ...

 

Thank you for making this great asset,

I would really appreciate some help, let me describe the problem as best as possible:

The issue is that when I am navigating through the various menus it does not seem like the menus clear after moving from one to another, and that means that when I move from button to button I can see the menus that I am not currently on been active on the Scene window, for example, if I go to Options>Graphics>Back to Options the Graphics panel is still active and I can not ever make it back to Start and it looks like this:



The Game window looks right just frozen, does that make sense?

thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Woa.. this image is a nightmare... are you using latest version and also does this problem occur if you use keyboard or only in controller?

 

You haven't been able to do that yet, have you?

 

I just tested it on a new clean project and the same issues are present with keyboard input only, on version 0.5f1

 

Hi is this the scene view right? coz in game view it looks fine but in scene view, they looks like what you have posted above...

 

Hi Hermie, sorry for the delay, will be pushing inventory update this week

 

Correct that is in Scene view, in game view, the menus look fine except the navigation is stuck on the other non visible screens

 

hmm... that's odd, it's working fine here... I will seriously take a look into this and will try to post a hot fix asap.

Thanks for your support and patience!

 

Hi Hermie, I am about to push the update with the login system (local only) and was thinking about adding a simple Inventory in this update as well.
Can you please show me any references or tell me exactly what is the problem you are having when you try to add a separate Inventory System. I will keep these suggestions in mind while designing a very basic Inventory System!

Hello! The asset has just downloaded. The save trigger does not work.

 

Hi, sorry for Inconveniences caused. You have to press the Save Key (Right Alt by default) in the Save Game UI script while you are inside the Trigger.

See the attached image for better understanding!

Thanks for the help, figured out. But the death of such a problem. After the game is saved, the UI disappears (health bars and the inventory menu is not called up)

 

Hmm that's odd, which version of Invector are you using?

 

version before the last update.

 

Thanks a lot bro, I will get back to you asap!

 

Got it to work with rfps
is a bit of a hassle as rfps imports its project settings which stops easy main menu from working ^^

the only problem i have left is that
(i copied the rfps main char into the maze scene)
that when i press escape i see the menu but i dont have a mouse cursor to select anything ^^

any idea?

(if i start it with the additional rfps main menu on, switch to it with f2 i have a mouse cursor,
but if i now select main menu it goes back normally but i have no visible mouse cursor in the main menu)

 

That's great news bro
This is exactly the same problem which occurred in ufps.
You have to find in the scripts where they are forcing the cursor to hide and just comment it or if there is a bool to hide cursor, just uncheck it.

@walledcityinfotech For some reason when I load into my scene I am getting the following running error....

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
vThirdPersonCamera.CameraMovement () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Basic Locomotion/Scripts/Camera/vThirdPersonCamera.cs:467)
vThirdPersonCamera.RotateCamera (Single x, Single y) (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Basic Locomotion/Scripts/Camera/vThirdPersonCamera.cs:405)
Invector.CharacterController.vThirdPersonInput.CameraInput () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Basic Locomotion/Scripts/CharacterController/vThirdPersonInput.cs:335)
Invector.CharacterController.vThirdPersonInput.LateUpdate () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Basic Locomotion/Scripts/CharacterController/vThirdPersonInput.cs:141)

Any Ideas on this? I know that it is saying the camera cannot be found basically, but it is there and set up properly. If I just play the scene without loading from the menu then it works fine, so the issue is somewhere in the middle.

 

Hi @jrackley , good to see you here
You can add a simple if statement to check do we have a camera or not before this error, somewhat like this :
if(!camera)
return;
and of course 'camera' is the Invector's camera.
Also make sure, the scene contains only 1 camera tagged as MainCamera. I think, Invector's script is trying to get a camera via findobjectwithtag and it's getting some other camera instead of the vthirdperson camera.

 

Awesome News bros :-

@walledcityinfotech Glad to be back using your menu again, however there seems to be some issues with saving and the Invector integration.
The Inventory does not save and load from scene to scene. To replicate I load into the Invector Demo pick up 1 or more weapons and then go to the end scene trigger. The next scene Invector Demo 1 loads just fine, however the Inventory is completely blank.
Could you check into this, because saving is pointless if it does not carry across scenes! I know you usually can fix issues fast!
