Work has started on a highly detailed version of Star Trek Next Generation..........

Distant Worlds Universe has had modding for over 12 years and today after 12 years of creating mods for this game, I finally worked out how to change the background image of DWU.

See the test image below with more work to be done on it......

The next step is to alter the menu as seen in this picture and give the Main Menu for Distant World Universe a true Str Trek LCARS appaearance.

Attached is concept art about what I am aiming for.

This picture shows the interface as I want it on the Main Menu....now to make it so as Picard would say.

It took a little longer than I thought to get this Main Menu working right for this mod

Below you will see what the menu looks like when you open up this Star Trek mod. The orange menu buttons are animated too when you move the mouse over them....really nice.

I had originally wanted the menu buttons over on the left of the screen but this was a task I may have to leave due to it's complexity until maybe Version 2 or 3 of this mod.

In the meantime this new Main Menu for Star Trek The Next Generation works really well.

Distant Worlds Universe may be 12 years old but with a little polish it can still look really good as seen here.
