📋 About This Mod
Title: NorthernUI Animated Menu Video
Author: Grim Reaper
Release v2. 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
New animated and static Map Loop videos (menu video). NorthernUI hides the default Oblivion video with a black picture because it doesn't fit well.
I like NorthernUI but menu is a bit to black and empty for me. I tried to keep Oblivion spirit and enhance NorthernUI at the same time.
New map loop videos have been done with HD sources and sized to fullHD (1920x1080). Loop has been designed not to be visible and gives a perpetual feeling.
UPDATE Status:
removed v1. 1 version as i released Darnified Animated Menus
4k packs are now avalaible in Miscelleanous download section.
V2. 1 update (offset patch) released.
IMPERIAL THEME ADDON Beta release. It is just a quick draw. I need your impressions . Borders color and video tinting will be adjusted. I tried to keep vanilla flavour to match Imperial theme ambiance. (2 pictures added in slideshow)
(17/05/2020) A Patch will be released this week to fix possible purple glow around logo. Tested in Darnified Animated Menus and it seems to work. Solution is to recompress Textures to DXT5 format and add mip maps.
I changed my approach and decided for flexibility reason and because "size does matter" to redisgn the whole project.
It wasn't a proper solution to incrust overlays in the menu video: every different version needed video encoding which made the mod pretty big and was time consuming updating everything (lots of encoding and editing).
New approach is more simple : a video + differents overlays. I is also more flexible and you can now compose your menu video!
- Logos and Titles have been reworked again for increased quality and homogeneity.
- Added a new alternate animated video with smoke and fire particles.
- Added logos overlay as a stand alone option.
- Mod has been splitted in two: Oblivion and Morroblivion versions.
- Static videos have been removed. No point in including this in v2. 0 . Stick to v1. 1 if you want Static menus!. I will soon update v1. 1 with
Oblivion and Morroblivion logos only as static menus new options.
This way, Mod size has been reduced and it will be a lot easier to update this mod now!
Drawback : v2. 0 version will only work with NorthernUI as overlay is now handled by UI and not with the menu video.
NorthernUI FullHD Animated Menus replaces the default start menu with a 1920x1080 animated video, adding an Oblivion-style touch to the NorthernUI mod. Includes a reworked Oblivion logo and an optional extra. For Skyrim players using NorthernUI who want a more immersive menu.
