[ez69] VGUI 1.4

Improved ez69 VGUI with an audio CD track player, major changes to the messaging system, generic messages for nearly all CTF maps, and custom messages for 40 popular maps. Version 1.4 is fully compatible with previous ez69 VGUI, cfg's, and scripts.

The ez69 VGUI is a highly modified version of commandmenu.txt. This is the pop-up graphical menu that appears when you try to build, disguise, etc. No longer will you be lost in a bunch of menus while trying to build or disguise under pressure. The menus are reorganized for priority access during combat.

Version 1.4 is compatible with all previous versions of the ez69 VGUI and cfg sets.

The message system is reorganized, supporting nearly all CTF maps, has custom messages for most Valve and all OGL maps (24 total), and an archive of messages for another 16 popular TFC maps. It still contains the very popular AUDIO CD PLAYER where you can now select music tracks from any cd to be played while playing TFC! And you can adjust the game sound volume using the Volume Selector.

What's New in version 1.4 ?

-New STRATEGY MESSAGE button at the top for map specific special tactic messages

-New GAME FUNCTION button (formerly GAME INFO button) includes changeteam/changeclass buttons

-95% of all button choices are numbered 0-9 to allow non-mouse users to use the VGUI with a keyboard (however CUSTOM buttons still won't work due to Valve's design).

-Map Location Messages (SG is..., Enemy Flag is..., Our Flag is..., etc) are totally revamped to include the following generic locations applicable for nearly all CTF maps. First 6 choices are now:

"0" "'where?'" "Where are ..."

"1" "'FLAG'" "... near the FLAG / FLAG ROOM"

"2" "'LOBBY'" "... near the LOBBY"

"3" "'MAIN ENTRANCE'" "... near the MAIN ENTRANCE"

"4" "'OUTSIDE/BATTLEMENTS'" "... OUTSIDE the base / on BATTLEMENTS"

"5" "'WATER / SEWER'" "... in the WATER / SEWER"

Buttons 6-9+ now are for map specific location messages

- Maps supported in VGUI with custom tactic and/or location messages:

2fort, well, cz2, dustbowl, rock2, warpath, hunted, crossover2, badlands, citadel11, openfire, shutdown2, pipezone, torch2, tempest, mulch_trench, avanti, flagrun, darkness, casbah, gleadhraich_r, 2morfort, run, fortsake2

Due to the fact that the VGUI as designed by Valve has a maximum of 100 buttons/menu, only a limited number of maps could be fully supported by the ez69 VGUI. Therefore VGUI 1.4 only supports most Valve maps and maps currently used by the OGL. Since all players and clans have their own map preferences, a map MESSAGE ARCHIVE was created to allow users to configure their own VGUI to support their favorite maps.

- Maps in Message Archive:

betrayed, cityhunted, cj2, epicenter, sniperzone, shutdown, mulch_dm, industrial, totalwar, nml3, spacedout, canalzon, bozz, creek, cydonia, bam

Also included are the other goodies from previous versions:

1a. Audio CD Player: you can now select music tracks from any cd to be played while playing TFC! Up to 24 tracks on a cd can be selected. An audio track will play with autorepeat (looped) until another track or the stop option is selected.

1b. Volume Selector: you can adjust the game sound volume while playing to better hear music or voice communications during peaceful times or increase volume to better hear enemies and SG's.

2. easy to use class menus such as Build and Disguise that are organized with combat playing in mind

3. extensive set of Offense and Defense Messages that are custom made for many popular maps
