Anyone know how to create a custom menu screen with a different layout than the old standard/stock menu? :/

Negative, shaders have nothing to do with it.

True, but the second you edit it, you can say goodbye to Game.exe :v

Just because it's in there doesn't mean you need to edit it.

I mean in VS 2005, File > Open > File....
Strings "128" Gives menu layout. Re-arrangeing them, for some reason, stops it from working.

This is just a replaced Renlogo, some stuff removed by empty dds files and a new background image.

BTT, the text can be changed by editing the strings.tdb=

He doesn't have vsync turned on, so it allows the game to rocket up past 80 75 60 or what ever your desktop's refresh rate is set at.

Ive edited the if_back on several occasions and....man thats a pain in the ass.

The only real tip I can give you is to don't try to make it shorter or longer, it must be however many frames it is by default.
