Animated Main Menu Background + Music. Very minimalistic for maximum Atmospheric.

Should be compatible with any other mod, except if they are changing "ui_mm_main_16.xml". If you have problems, please tell me in the comments and I will try to make it compatible. Otherwise you can use Winmerge and do it yourself (yay).

Thanks for MCM compatibility. 👋
Excellent work! Hope you update the video with more slides in the future :)
oh, that wont be hard at all - I just felt like the video file gets too big at some point (increases loading time, its already 35mb) and you usually dont spend so much time in the menu :P
I started spending it after this! XD
Although I like the Lorn track very much and it serves the video purposes greatly, I changed it to the one you had omitted in your config for atmosphere reasons :P
Okaaay I will do a longer version for you :D How many slides do you want?
I just finished work on a new version with more slides, would you like to test it?
I will not use it, I do not give importance to the menu.
But I give you my +10 in the rating because the selection and fusion of images is fantastic. Very good work.
Thank you :) Did you download the mod and check them out or did you just look at the preview? The Preview is not the full video, just a teaser. I made it with Davinci Resolve, powerful tool for video editing
The tool does not make the artist, only streamlines work.
You also used that software to convert the video to .ogm? . . .
I tried compressing one of those motion files from EFP modpack (to decrease my loading in the menu) but it didn't turn out very well.
No, converting in .ogm was the biggest issue. Took me a couple of hours to get it in .ogm and also in decent quality. I am now using a combination of davinci + vlc media player converter + convertio, then renaming ogg into ogm manually.
Biggest issue was a decent frame rate, ogg/ogm really likes to stutter.
WOW, this is Amazing, Feels like Stalker 2! Thank you~~~~
Hey this is a really awesome mod. It gets me hyped to load into the game.
Thank you for making this!
Hi, these days I wanted to make an animated background, but the problem is that I don't know how to convert the MP4 file to an OGM file. can someone tell me how?
convert to ogg and rename to ogm xD it's literally same
LOVE IT . THANKS
LORN = GOOOOD

This is fantastic, really well put together!
While the song included is good, I replaced it with a more sombre track from this mod: Moddb.com
For anyone interested, just replace the .ogg file in gamedata>sounds>music with yours and edit the line <menu_music>music\name of your track</menu_music> in gamedata>configs>ui>ui_mm_main_16.xml
I've tried all of these I could find. This is by far my favorite. I never start a playthrough without it. Thank you for the good work.
You are welcome bro!
Any way you can make music play on pause menu too? Possibly with MCM ability to switch it off for pause. :3
Hmm no idea how :(
Your menu ROCKS. Any tips on how to have it without the music though? :) or maybe make a version with the metal version from artificalfear? :D
You can just rename the song file in the mod, and it should play no music
This main menu and the music is amazing I love it thank you.But unfortunately my game closes when I try to start my game. If it is possible to find the problem, that would be great please.
Mhh I dont think it is related to this mod? Do you have MCM installed?
No I don't know what it is, a mod manager ?
Yes, correct! it adds one extra button in the menu. I would try installing it, that might solve it
please try to delete this mod and try again - if it still occurs, please try an older version of MCM, that should fix it :)
Fantastic mod bro, the music is sick, the quality is very good too.
Would be possible to hear the music on the in-game menu too?
I hope you can bring maybe some animated cursors to complement this mod?
I want something different
Thank you! Sorry, I dont think it is possible to play it in the game too and I dont know how to change the cursor :D But maybe there is another mod which changes only the cursor, and you could combine them?
Well if it isn't possible then there is nothing you can do.
Yes, there are some cursor mods, but they aren't attractive at all
I better stay with the cursor from Simplified Vision UI mod Moddb.com
Okay, then let me have a look at it as soon I have the time ;)
Thanks a lot bro.
Also, I forgot to tell you the new game screen where you customize your loadout, faction etc. it's completely scrambled if I use your mod together with the one I posted on my previous comment, it works, but everything is out of place
Thats because both mods share files with each other, you should only use one of them
You could merge the mods tho, there are tools for that! Its a bit complicated, sadly
Still thanks, the good thing is that this is only on this screen
any way to default the music back to the original menu theme? love the visuals
Thats easy. just delete the sound file within the mod.
This is awesome! I love the music choice too though another mod just came out with music from the movie Annihilation. I replaced your audio with that one and...mmmm so good :)
My favorite main menu <3
Thank you :)
Maybe compat patch for EFT or GAMMA?
It works just fine in vanilla Anomaly, but not so well in GAMMA and EFP
Mostly on the new game screen, while picking loadouts
I looked into it and it should work, but it does not. Not sure why. If anyone has an answer let me know and I will put out an update!
is this compatible with 1.5.2?
Sure it is :)
