[!] Found little 'bug' in new UIs - FIX available

[Wirapuru]

Oh gee.. I swear I'll quit drinking coffee+cognac so late to wake up I can't believe what I left behind..

I don't know if anyone saw that on the northern_european UI but when we have an army inside a naval unit, the 4th middle button, that one the smart here never remembers what's for, becomes suddenly useful to see that army itself.. ok, this just fell like an ACME anvil in my head just 5 minutes ago.. because:

-In northern_European I did the highlited button, but completely not aligned, it's awful (don't go there, please I beg you)
-In middle_eastern isn't awful, but that is because IT DOESN'T EXIST! yeah, I just left the highlighted elephant pitch black..

Well, I'm trying to fix those now and as soon as they are ready I'll post the two files that have to be overwrited, and hopefully Tokus will post them in the ArtFixer thread as well, it won't be even 1mb.. the sad is the golden elephant =[ now it has to be some kind of darker color, or else we can't see the text, from richness to poverty in less than a day

hm, really sorry about that, I really never remembered what for that 4th bt was for, and since I couldn't play lately this didn't came to me.

I'll try to fix today yet, but that who decides is the coffee+cognac!

[Wirapuru]

Phew, I thought I would have to render it all again, blessed PS!

UI.fix.for.ArtFixer.4.0.3.rar (721.43 KB)

Just extract it to your M2TW overwriting all, just two gfx files, nothing to worry about scripting & cia

[Aszrayel]

Thanks for the fix Wirapuru

[Tokus*Maximus]

Moring chaps!

I'm back at the front line again after a night home resting. Wirapuru, no worries ay? Thanks for the correction link. I'll put it into the Artfixer and re-release later today. ASAP. I brought my gaming Shuttle PC in from the hoose to test on.

++Current status++ Wirapuru's quick patch has been put into the Artfixer and fresh version is now up on the Artfixer stickied thread. Best, TOKOID

[Wirapuru]

Thanks T*Max, my chivalrous apologies

rep asap!

[Gaias]

As you can see I am missing the plus/minus graphics for the game speed and map zoom areas. Is there a way I could fix this myself? The buttons still have functionality but are just not be represented for some reason. I do have the latest one downloaded and installed.

[Wirapuru]

Gaias, sorry about that, the battle interfaces still have a lot to do, mainly this "not-minimal" one (I always play with the minimal, I totally forgot to check the normal UI). About the +/- zoom buttons missing, this was a workaround for the minimal interface that'll be corrected soon (probably in the next artfixer)..

About some fix for that you could do if you have some experience on editing images/TGA, just open the battlepage_01.tga file located in (M2TW root folder)\DLV_ext\data\UI\(middle_eastern and southern_european)\interface\ and add the +/- directly on top of their usual places.. this is a dirty and lazy advice from me errrm but if you really need it this would do..

I can do it and send to you if you want, or make a new "hotfix" for all (it's almost no work, really) but I'm afraid these fixes are becoming too frequent and Tokus is taking all the work of re-packing and re-uploading it.. I mean, if he agrees with me cluttering his ArtFix with these I could release this another little patch and he could add the link separately as a hotfix, without doing all the recompiling work again, which he did already this very morning because my other mistake

Meanwhile that I'll do it and post here asap

[Gaias]

I wouldn't worry about it as all I had to do was delete the battlepage_01.tga and it was fine again. Maybe Tokus*Maximus should put a warning for those that play with the battle hud. Or just have instructions to delete or backup the battlepage_01.tga until you are able to resolve the problem at hand.

[Furin]

Also if it's not a showstopper it definitly has time until the next release . Don't worry so much you old perfectionist!

[Wirapuru]

Gaias well remembered! I forgot there's always the original backup inside the game, good suggestion


Furin lol thanks for saying that I really need to chill out for the weekend

hail!:tacticalw

(ok I'm officialy adicted to smiles)

[Furin]

Don't you dare chill! Gimme my little people!
Look I've raped one of the younger Breughels paintings and came up with a pair of beagles Ain't they adoreable?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ok they ain't perfect but all I got is ms-paint...

Allright, I must admit there's room for improvement for the little people idea on the campaign map....

poor doggies.. sniff fraged by a hostel ...

[Wirapuru]

rofl!!! ·· I can't stop laughing because it's so absurd!

Furin

[Furin]

Well, maybe i am more lucky with an older Breughel, they are better anyway...

[Wirapuru]

Surely, maybe we should bring on roman dogs from RTW =P

[Furin]

Well this one looked okish on the campaign map, gave the background some "autumn field" color effects, but I didn't manage to get the left and right part just right, tried cutting the picture beforehand but the edges didn't fit exactly. Not my job to fiddle with the interface anyway, that's your beer.

Furin I thought on adding some mural feeling to this part too, maybe something like mosaics, more blended and less colorful to not contrast much but when I go ingame I think it becomes a bit too messy with all those icons on top.. too bad because it's rare to have that much of unique space (not repetitive patterns, like tiled) on UI backgrounds..

You should try Gimp, do you know it? It's WAY better than ms-paint and free

(and berr? what beer?? where's the beer?!?!? ^^)

[Furin]

It's the Austrian expression for "It's not my pigeon" or in this case "That's your pigeon".

[Harry Lime]

It's the Austrian expression for "It's not my pigeon" or in this case "That's your pigeon".

I love that expression. In England we just shrug & say "not my problem". Now if we had to say "that's not my albatross", I'm sure things would get fixed much faster

Sorry, love your new UI Wirapura, although up till now have only seen it for about 5 minutes, so busy....

[Wirapuru]

Ah ok.. but I thought we would have beer

=P
