What do you need help with? Photoshop or the technical aspect?

Check through Here and see if there are any UI tutorials, if not, I'm sure someone here will come along and point you in the right direction... its pretty simple, just a matter of replacing art.

A'yup, as Prof said.

the files you need to change are in;

bi/data/ui/?FACTION?/interface

battlepage_01.tga
battlepage_02.tga
battlepage_03.tga

stratpage_01.tga
stratpage_02.tga

Best thing to do is open the ones from 'End of days' and see which parts are changed.

Already tried this, Haile!

Nothing happens! Maybe i should delete the old interface from Rome... But how?

Are you modding RTW or BI..? if RTW did you unpack the pack files.

**Acroneos** · October 29, 2007, 02:38 PM

RTW (1.5 like I said)...

What are u meaning with "unpack the pack-files"?

Tell me more, please

**Halie Satanus** · October 29, 2007, 03:40 PM

To mod certain files in RTW, mostly image foles, you need to unpack them first.

It doesnt works!

Ive done following things:

Downloaded the Exstractor.

Used the Extractor.

Then made a folder UI in data. Made a folder ROMANS in UI, and made a folder INTERFACE in folder ROMANS. In this folder i paste the interface from EoD.

Nothing happens....

**Acroneos** · October 31, 2007, 01:41 PM

aaaah now it works

But two things not:

Why the background of the Menu is not dark?

And in the Battle, the interface has not been changed too...

You need to open the other files in the Rome UI and check for the scroll.

**Acroneos** · November 01, 2007, 02:12 PM

Cant find the croll! Cross my heart!

How u have changed the Scroll?

**Halie Satanus** · November 01, 2007, 02:16 PM

It's on sharedpage_01.

**Acroneos** · November 01, 2007, 05:38 PM

Yes! I changed this file like in this Screenshot:

But nothing happens! The croll is like in Vanilla still

What am I doin wrong here?

**Halie Satanus** · November 01, 2007, 06:56 PM

Hmm, no idea, if your editing the one in your packs folder it should work.

**Acroneos** · November 01, 2007, 07:03 PM

I deleted ui_1.pak, and set up a ui_1.pak file with 0 KB instead of it.

ui_0.pak is like the one in Vanilla.

Maybe this is the Problem?

**Halie Satanus** · November 01, 2007, 07:16 PM

I think you have to move the UI folder in DATA/packs/DATA out of there and into the main DATA folder, then the game looks in there for files before it looks anywhere else, I'm not totally sure about that though as I only ever edit BI files.

**Acroneos** · November 01, 2007, 07:35 PM

The File I editet is in C

rgram Files / The Creative Assembly / Rome Total War / data / UI / ROMAN / Interface

Evryone change on the files is working, except of those two:

) Scroll an CampMap

) Interface on Battles

:hmmm:
