Just an experiment. Tell me what you think.
edit: Just a video editing experiment, not a mod. Here's a before-and-after: https://youtu.be/-jCSwIF-sN4 and an explanation for what I did can be found below. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16525.msg234853#msg234853)

I love it!

Not bad. I think it would be improved if the different selections slid in from other directions.

Very cool!

Exactly my thoughts :) It's good.

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smoking weed on Bambu, sipping on Private Stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski (wassup)
I'm blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood (that's right)
It's all good (it's all good)
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga

I was about 2 seconds from banning your account, I just happened to notice the post count. You should really change your name back to Cupcake.

I hope you release this to the public :)

Hmm, it's been most of a week, I suppose I should come clean now. I did this totally in Adobe Premiere. Here's a before and after video:
https://youtu.be/-jCSwIF-sN4
- I cut the menu screens into separate video clips, one for each different menu (and several for the main menu).
- I chroma keyed the black background out of all of 'em, to make 'em transparent.
- Behind the menu footage, I put a still shot (using Premiere's "hold frame" feature) of the field, taken from the frame right before the menu opens.
- I zoomed in the field footage (both video and still frames) to eliminate the black bar. This is also why the menu doesn't extend all the way to the sides.
- I added "push" transitions to all the submenu screens.
This is also why I only did the transitions in one direction. If I'd used the push transition horizontally, it would've gone into the widescreen black bars on the left and right and made it too obvious it was edited video, unless I'd taken the time to mask the sides out, which I really didn't feel like doing.
Alas, I don't think this is remotely possible to actually do in FF7's engine. If it is, I'm certainly not the one to do it.
Also, thanks Vgr and Cupcake for not spoiling the fun and revealing my trick :)
Also, moving to Completely Unrelated now that the jig is up; this isn't a graphical mod and has no business in the Graphical Mods section :P

I still wonder if this is possible. In the same way that MANY games do such things, it would take the current frame and make that the background of the menu system. I guess the caveat is that for the most part the menus completely take up the screen. It would be nice to have transitioning menus like this, however. The fade in/out gets irritating after a while.
Possible? Maybe. Practical? Not likely.

wow that's awesome you tricked me :roll:
