thank you!

I'm guessing you're usig the GUI or console command to connect, right? Everything looks correct right now.

updated the file again for you boobies

enjoy

EDIT: just read some other guy did it, i should really look before i post -_-, i've had a long day.... leave me alone

EDIT 2: other one i just posted had wrong port

fixed this in the latest one so can anyone that just downloaded the old one update to this one or you won't be able to get on #12

by **Echelon** » 18 Aug 2009, 13:37

I deleted all the gui files posted here, and instead updated the link in the first post. If any of you make an updated gui file in the future, feel free to post it here, and we will download the file, update the link in the first post then delete the attachment from your post

This will make it much easier for new people to find the correct file, if there is only 1 place to download it from. As i am writing this there are maybe 10 different versions spread around the forum.

by **GTFO. al** » 06 Sep 2009, 16:25

Sunday 6th Sept 2009
Updated all GUIs (DOD, TF2, HL2DM)

Suggest everyone downloads the files again and overwrites their existing GameMenu.res files.

My reserve slot isnt working, maybe you can take a look when your not busy. Ive downloaded the newest gamemenu.res but still cant get on busy servers. Macfragger STEAM_0:0:17774007. I donated on 13 sep.

That's some fine work. Downloading immediately...

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 29 Nov 2009, 23:40

updated the game menu, basically just to remove #12 as it was annoying me :)

See Original Post.

also I have modded the menu again for people who frequently use the private server, meaning you can now one click on it in the menu and it will connect, no need to type the password anymore! if you want it, let me know on steam

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 19 Dec 2009, 15:28

Updated the menu again for the new #11 changes,

See Original Post.

guys that want the gamemenu with the private server in the menu aswell message me on steam

The server needs to change map before the Reserved slot activates, judging by how long has passed it should be working now.

by **Felvol** » 10 Apr 2010, 20:00

Ive changed my game menu using the one you have as a template, but is there any way of making the gap between servers smaller? as i seem to be running out of room. or the font being smaller could work?

by **Sepp** » 11 Apr 2010, 12:14

Sounds like youÂ´re using a very low resolution then?
I doubt you can change the font size so the only option i can think of is to remove "unnecessary" things in the menu structure. For example the separating lines "label" "------------------------" or menu options you probably donÂ´t need like "Report Bug".

by **Felvol** » 11 Apr 2010, 13:16

Well my screen resolution is 1680 x 1050 but kk thanks anyway =)

by **Sepp** » 12 Apr 2010, 06:44

Jeah...my bad...forgot that the content would be scaled with the resolution anyways.
Also forgot that the "Bug Report" button is already missing in the GTFO version of the GUI...

by **DataStorm** » 12 Apr 2010, 15:16

if it gets too big, it becomes scrollable

by **John** » 13 Apr 2010, 18:25

I'm using this, if someone would be interested or doesn't want to edit the gamemenu.

Server List
You just have to type 'servers' into your console.

by **DataStorm** » 13 Apr 2010, 19:04

kinda like your solution more, you could make a single menu item in the menu to put that in console...
but it needs to be worked out more. That you just have to type: gtfo01 to connect to a server...

/EDIT: @@@@ you got ERRORS in there... ip's for GTFO #02 and #04 are same....
/EDIT 2: I'm making as I said....
/edit 3: removed some as it isn't needed and is in the attachment in my next reply.

ok, I've made the version for TF2, should be easily remade for DODS or HL2DM etc if ppl want... as I don't have DODS, i'm not able to extract the original GameMenu.res and test it.

How to use:
- Download and extract the attached rar file.
- Copy the file "GTFOsrv.cfg" into your "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\*your_account_name_here*\team fortress2\tf\cfg\" folder.
- OPTIONAL: edit your autoexec.cfg file in the same directory and place at the END of the
file on a new line: exec gtfosrv
- Copy the file "GameMenu.res" into your "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\*your_account_name_here*\team fortress2\tf\resource\" folder.

Explanation:
The menu option executes "GTFOsrv.cfg"
The GTFOsrv.cfg file enables and shows console if its not already.
Then it clears a number of lines and prints in the console the current options of the servers.
It makes a number of aliases to be used as commands to connect to a server.

so, if you type "g01" it will connect you to TF2 server #01, all the way up to #11 with g11.
the complete list is: G01, G02, G03, G04, G05, G06, G07, G08, G09, G10 and G11

Now, if you want to include server #00, you have to uncomment 2 lines in the GTFOsrv.cfg, its quite easy, look into the file and it should be clear to you where to remove the "//".

To be lenient i have also included aliases to connect without leading 0. Those are:
G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8 & G9
G0 and G1 are not included cos those could be meant for G0x or G10 or G11, if you want those, those 2 lines can be un-commented in the same way.

When connected to a server, the menu option will be BELOW the "Resume game", "Disconnect" and "Mute Player" menu items. When trying this out, I found it a hindrance to have them above those... as I often use the "Resume Game" menu item... maybe in later versions I will put it below the "------------------" line.

The menu itself is just an extract of the original GameMenu.res file, and nothing else has been added or removed from it. Only this menu line is added.

Result is as in the screenshot attached.

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 18 Apr 2010, 13:59

Updated the TF2 Game Menu to show the new server changes to #4 and #8,

I have also updated the HL2DM and TF2 picture to show the current up-to-date menu.

Hi

My reserved slot doesn't seem to be working at all, when joing a game using the GUI mod or from the friends list.
I also get Autobalanced which obviously shows its not set up yet.

Some help would be appreciated :]

AA

EDIT: Will download the latest GUI mods, but that won't make any difference to autobalnacing etc

by **GTFO. Irritant** » 20 Apr 2010, 20:13

Hi Avenger. I can't help with ensuring the reserved slot works, but I can pour disappointment your way by telling you that a reserved slot doesn't make you immune to the autobalancer.

Being a GTFO Member doesn't make you immune, either.

by **GTFO. G** » 20 Apr 2010, 20:49

As Irritant says, no one is immune to the autobalancer, sadly

To make use of your slot, use the ingame menu links the GUI mod creates (or you can use console connect command, but that's tedious).

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 08 May 2010, 18:48

updated the tf2 gui with the new server additions

by **DataStorm** » 08 May 2010, 19:28

updated the console menu with new pics and the new servers...

How did you upload the files? Did you get someone in GTFO to do it for you?

by **DataStorm** » 15 May 2010, 12:09

HAX...

no, I have a post above, edited it, trown out the attachements and put new ones in....

by **DataStorm** » 10 Jun 2010, 23:54

just put my "GTFOsrv.cfg" in the /cfg/ dir, and type "exec gtfosrv" in the console. Or add in the "autoexec.cfg" the line:

exec gtfosrv

then you can type in console the server you want to connect to, eg: g00 - g13

by **DataStorm** » 11 Jun 2010, 03:14

well, seems we need another file to hack, cos if I just add them it looks like this:

I'm gonna adjust my version of it, and then maybe look later for how to make buttons go on the right.
