Ooh, this is going to be great! No more endless scrolling through the Landmarks, Misc. Transit, or Parks menus, and no more fiddling with MMLs (they're great, but I think the MML mod is going to be obsolete after this is released).

I'm not that worried.  Now I'm involved with the NAM team I've got work enough on my plate. I enjoyed making them, and probably still will for a while, untill daeley irons out the bugs in this.

My scroll-finger is very thankful for this upcoming mod!

a bad thing is that my scroll finger has become very muscular because of all the scrolling in SC4, I've been proudly showing it to everybody, especially when stuck in traffic, but unfortunately response hasn't been that friendly...strange enough.

I can't say that I understand how abusing the news messages will make this possible, but I will join everyone else in saying WOW!   :thumbsup:

I think the menu problem is the most annoying thing about SC4.  I can't tell you the time I spent reordering menus in a futile attempt to reduce scrolling.  This will completely revolutionize SC4 as we know it.

Between this and some of the other great work folks have been doing lately (CAM, countless transit projects, the hotly anticipated X-Tool, etc.), this old game still has a lot of life left in it.   &apls

This sounds like a very cool breakthrough, but implementation worries me a little ... we could go from mega-scrolling through parks and landmarks to egocentric  "MY L337 T33M ... LOOK ItS MY M3NU W17H MY B4tS 1N" menus. 

However this is used needs to follow a logical content category based system.

But that aside, between all the eye-candy sets, traditional landmarks and the diagonal buildings this is going to extremely helpful in making all that content far more accessible.

Richard's hit it on the head.

Quoteand no more fiddling with MMLs

I wouldn't go that far as I don't think that it will replace MML's. I think that there are applications and room for both. The user will decide in the end.

Ha! The technical aspect of achieving these custom menus are, in my humble inexperienced opinion, high above the general abilities of those who would even dream of making such nonsensical menus.

Unless Daeley makes it publicly available, I don't see anyone else making their own custom menus very soon.

But hey! That's just my view on the matter.
