The custom menu was present to you, Legija. Why do you share it with everybody and don't say that it's from me?

DUN DUN DUN Click you thief!!!!

I must said i didnt expect you want to take credit's for file souch as this one is. I know those things long time ago, they were posted on gamezone in public, but just on diferent places. I merged them into one topic... but yeah this extended menu is your own creation. I have other menus created by myself, but i tought you would not mind if i take it for good example in "HOW TO" tutorials. I am really suprised on that how you react on this. For example i shared cool video settings long time ago, and i've never asked for credits. Should i go around and ask for them? Sorry man, if you really care i will edit my last post. I really appreciate your work, but the reaction has surprised me.

Bravo Click, well thought of to do this!

Because I liked the idea, and I'll show you a trick!

@ CLICK: if I have screen res. 1920 x 1080 how should I type it in that script, because I don't really understand how to do that and i don't want to f*ck up my SS

Hero,this is my monitor resolution, I have no problems.


For your monitor:


sam_iScreenSizeI=1920;
sam_iScreenSizeJ=1080;

[Barktooth]

Holy shit, Caligula you have a 2048x1152 monitor? :O

My problem is that it was a private present to you and I think I told you not to share it. (false credits was only additional prob) I was just very surprised to find my menu here that I gave only to 2 persons but I guess that's how things work XD

Whatever, let everything how it is now. The noobs will thank you for this nice tutorial.

[CLICK]

I told you not to share it.

Far as i remember you didn't . Sorry, but i must say this - keeping souch a things private is kinda childish man Anyway, why to hide those things? I am wondering what make you think like that?

[shooters_hero]

@Caligula: thank you very much, it's appreciated (y)

[Caligula]

@Caligula: thank you very much, it's appreciated (y)

No problem dude!

The custom menu was present to you, Legija. Why do you share it with everybody and don't say that it's from me?

you invented this
I played with these settings for longer then Click is playing,... maybe this knowledge is more basic then you thought.

XF,.. try to contact Packee from FE clan -CF-
I beleive he knew about these settings and how to optimize them, before even I started to play.

So he just shared basic knowledge and did it in a very nice tutorial.
I like you XF, but I think you are wrong here. Even if you presented it to Click,.. he can share this as common knowledge
