A Little while ago I remember seeing a game user interface for the beginning of the game(Title screen etc..) that was customizable... Anyone know where that is found?

You can use FONText for such purposes.

Do a search of the forums, there's plenty of info about it already. :)

I know how to make text, i was more referring to the interface that handles mouse clicks, and the menus for options etc...

I think you are thinking of XLnt_GUI which does windows and buttons and stuff.

There are a bunch of GUI systems available at
www.blitzcoder.com

Look in

There is Alpha_Gui that isn't like xlnt or blitzui.
It was for ingame use and has an editor.
Unfortunately, I don't who makes it!
It is great to use.

FONText can already load and display images - its not *just* for text! According to MasterBeaker, clickable HUD components are coming in the next update, so writing a nice mouse-operated front-end with FONText will be dead easy.

Do you mean Chroma's Game Menu System?

AlphaGUI

I use it in my latest creation:

RTS demo at the blitz showcase

I think Psionic used to have a Game Menu System on his Blitz page.

But his new web site doesn't have a link to it for some reason.

Maybe send him an email...

He's at: www.psionic3d.co.uk/

I cant remember whose it was, it wasnt for windows use(like to use in windowed mode) like a blitz GUI type thing. IT was more like a libary for doing a full screen mode. It had a generic main image with an option for new game, load game, options etc... where you could change resolution, colors etc... I had seen a couple games using the same one, one of which was some strategy war type game. No biggie though I can easily enough write my own.
