How to install:
1. Download Ficedula’s LGP tools.
2. Locate the menu.lgt in data\menu folder double-click on it and select to open it using lgp tools. The lgp window will appear.
3. Now select and drag all the .tex files you downloaded in the lgp window. At the question “do you wish to overite” select always yes.
4. Close the LGP window and you are done.
P/S you might also want to make a backup copy of the menu.lgp in case you wish to return to the original avatars.

Full screen start menu:
(You are going to need Aalis custom graphic drivers 0.7.2b or newer to use this)

Nice release Nero. I did a very similar high res set with a new start menu I thought of releasing but I'll give it awhile now. Good job.

No. He has a different mod installed that changes the font; this mod only changes the avatars.
 
Thanks, glad you like them.
Yes, this mod is just the avatars. You can change the letterings using “Team Avalanche’s 2D Overhaul’ mod that is available on this forum.
 
I'm liking these white backgrounds. Most AC avatars I've seen use the same few pics of the characters, and it's too obvious by the background that they were just screencaps from the movie. This makes these a lot better as a whole.

Also, you avoided the common mistake of ignoring scale and making them look really stretched/squished. Well done.
 
Yeah my main concern was to have them to fit together as a whole, so I used the AC promotional posters from 2005 as a base for all of them. It’s nice that you confirm it though. Thanks.
 
Here’s an update the way they appear in ff7, well maybe not Barret but I tried to get him as close as I could :-)

Alright!! Sweet! I was waiting for the original costumes (since I don't have the AC mod on my version of the game). I will be using this in the future! Awesome job!  :-)
 
Whoa whoa whoa.  Where did you get that barret photo from?  I thought I had all the pictures from the 10th anniversary party.  Link plz??
 
Actually it’s this picture, I just recolor his vest and some other parts changed the lightning and draw some new shadows to make him look more like the original, then I cut him right above the mechanical arm so that what was leftover to giving the impression that is the his machinegun. Seeing the whole picture it’s pretty obvious that he is in AC style but in the tiny avatar I think he can pass as the original version.

Is it possible to make the background of the portraits transparent instead of white? I think that would look awesome.
 
Actually I had tried that already but the game then display it as complete white.
I am using the ‘color 0 as transparent’ option on imafe2TEX which works fine when I am converting textures for battle or field models. So should I assume that this is happening because the menus original background is white and not blue?

Btw does anyone know why I am getting this on the start screen? Why can I not see the “new – load game” options?

If you use aali's texture injection method you can use transparency. I have tried it before
 
Thanks yes I found it, but I think I like it better with the shady white backgrounds now that i see it in game.

where did you got that menu screen?...

I made it on Photoshop but it needs some more work plus I can’t make it work properly.

Block borders and rounded corners? That might add a smooth twist.

Excellent avatars by the way, though I think perhaps there's a little too much white space on the right for Choco.

i think the transparent backgrounds look very good, i was actually thinking of doing it with the stock avatars.  As far as the start screen goes, you have to make a black 0,0,0 box where the new game and continue words will appear.  Kinda sucks, but it's all we have until someone steps up to remake the start screen.  I'd like to see a full screen version of what you have made.
