Those are all standard textured 3D meshes. They are just flat and fit in an 1x1 unit square.
They are hardcoded, meaning that you can only override them with your own but you cannot change their 'instanced' position, where are they used and... name.
Search forandCode:interface.brf
in CommonRes. If you copy them to your Module's Resource folder the game will use those instead of the common ones.Code:core_*.brf

After do that, you need to put the dds files to Texture folder in your module directory.
SenpaiHinds said:I've seen this come up before; what's the advantage to creating a new mesh over just replacing the texture? The mesh is just a 2 poly plane, maybe there are advantages to making 3D UI meshes but I've never seen anything like that work.
Yes, you are right. That is why i called this way is "easy", although i never use this way.Swyter said:randomcode said:There is a easy way to change the main menu and load screen, just export the image what you like as dds format, and change the file name to load_screen.dds to display in the loading screen, change the name to main_menu_nord.dds if you want to make your image as a main menu.

That is the equivalent to reskinning models instead of creating your own. Tends to look cheap and careless. If you have all the needed tool-set why not do it right?
For many years all this overriding was not even possible, so you should take advantage of it now that other modders fought to make the game more moddable.
