Fantastic work cedric37

Looking good, just have a question in current version that is not a problem but it seems that when you select a faction strenghts and weaknesses are not visible but their are outdated so no problemfor now, but in the new version they will be updated and changed to faction overviews which will be nice to have to read. so will you update them when new version comes and you will need to add Gundabad for new version.

[cedric37]

Thanks guys.
As soon as a new version of DaC is up, I'll make an update

Mmh, from your screenshot Cedric, I think the original right tab in the faction selection screen is missing.
Where right now in versione 2.x you find Strenghts and Weaknesses

EDIT: Now they are maiby outdated, by in the next version those tabs have been rewritten and all the information you'll find there will be corrected

Here an example

Ok noted, thanks.

I like it a lot anyway, it's a great work.

Another thing, if I may. Again in the last screen, the faction selection, while it is quite good as it is set, you can clearly see in the background the semi-transparent fields where the informations were written before.
I don't know if it's editable or that structure is Med 2 basic though. But I wanted to point it out

[cedric37]

I don't think it's an issue

Looks nice but the faction icons are still the same for me. Everything else looks like in the screenshots.

Please ignore my other post, problem solved.

do we have to install both:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/s2n65...or_DaC.7z/file
and
https://www.mediafire.com/file/77p2t...s_v1.1.7z/file

and is it savegame compatible?

[cedric37]

1st one modifies the menues, so it's not needed to get the new faction icons.
2nd one modified the faction icons (yes, both in menues and in game).

Both are absolutely savegame compatible

On a side note, the campaign UI's from my other submod (TATW submod) are also compatible with DaC, but some icons like upgrade units etc are from base TATW instead of improved DaC.
But IMHO it's worth the sacrifice. Only wildmen UI is not done, so Anduin, Northern dunedain and Enedwaith will still use the UI from DaC.
Or if you really want, you can copy paste Third_Age_3\data\ui\northern_european\interface into Third_Age_3\data\ui\mesomamerican\interface, this way wildmen UI is the same as northern UI (rohan, dale etc).

Normally my new UI's will be integrated in the next DaC version, yet I still need to make a wildmen UI

Hey i found where your strenghts and weaknesses boxes went, they went in custom battle screen and in custom battle when you select a faction a secondary emblem of a faction emerges in its own box which are some old old emblems and some vanilla med 2 emblems of factions, right bellow your new emblems, just to let you know.

[cedric37]

Thanks , yeah I've seen this too (not a major issue, but still need to be fixed). This will be fixed when DaC v3 is released.

What happen, did DAC team changed their mind? I think I heard on one of the videos of Galu he said your icons/UI were rejected?

[cedric37]

Faction Icons and Campaign UI's are 2 separated submods.

On last news the campaign UI's were to be brought in v3. Unless the team changed her mind

They didn't. In Arachîr Galudirithon's latest developer diary video he is using your UI in v3:

He only cut some small things which he felt was not fitting to DaC. If you are curious, he talks about those changes at 7:30 in the video

[cedric37]

Just as a precision, it's completely save game compatible.

New update for Dac V3 with download link in the first post (fixed faction missing strengths & weaknesses icons as well).

Hi Cedric, thanks for your great work on the UI and Faction Icons! However, I'm kinda keep facing the CTD when I tried to enter custom battle menu...
