Thanks buddy, yeah i think the southern ui is much better like this

Thanks again Gracul for your grood criticism

I will upload the files soon and update the links on 1st page.

[gracul]

Wow! Really like what you've done.
1 thing however - on the northern ui, why is that bar so close to the edge? (near the Age: 50)
And on southern ui, i guess its a little bit too monotonic (the lower part)
Rest is great!

Thanks mate.

1 thing however - on the northern ui, why is that bar so close to the edge? (near the Age: 50)

Ah, this one, it is because of the shields if i want to keep the shields, i cannot move them even a bit to the left, else the game engine automatically take a bit of the shield and cut and paste it every 2 centimeters on the frame
Should i remove the shields ?

And on southern ui, i guess its a little bit too monotonic (the lower part)

Well i can try to add some fancies here and there, you are right. But at least it is already better than the old one (and already better than the vanilla ui ).

Rest is great!

Wonderfull job once again.

PS. I see a pattern - the first one you make for one culture i generally dont like, but the second one kicks ass.

[cedric37]

Thanks & lol.
Wait for the 3rd one then, here it is, i think it is less monotonic

Could you add some awesome to the menu on the left side, near the + - buttons?
also the turn number and money need some black background

[cedric37]

Ok i'll adjust this tomorrow - for now i go to bed

[cedric37]

Ok, adjusted the southern "Alcove", now v1.21 (added some church bas-reliefs, and other tweaks here and there - following Gracul's comments )

PS: as a side note, i think Knights Templar should definitely stick to Southern European culture, not Northern European

[gracul]

Now it looks great! Huge kudos!
Im going to test them in-game soon.

[cedric37]

Thanks my friend, your advices prooved to be very usefull

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

A true work of art...

[cedric37]

Thanks my mega friend

[cedric37]

[Lemming69]

your first southern european interface was far superior

[cedric37]

Errr... all tastes are in the nature as we say in my country.

[gracul]

Well 1 thing is that mouse over nearly never fits the button under it.
The second thing is, some i guess pretty easy changes this time:

in my opinion, there is nothing wrong whatsoever with the picture changing once it is clicked upon. fair enough with the 'graphical inconsistencies,' and the mouse higlighting etc

[cedric37]

+1 with Lemming69.

Changing the picture upon clicking does not really look weird, it offers much more flexibility and diverstity in the ui look. Putting 4 times the same picture, even with different lighting is kinda monotonic. So it was 100% voluntarily made

The same with the "OK" box, i was really tired of the tick box, and i think people paying SS already played M2TW for a while and know exactly where is located the OK box.
What i can do however, is to change the left bottom image so that the OK picture will be different from the other corner pictures. But IMO, this is not an issue, nobody ever complained about this and my ui's are already used by lots of players (all RR/RC players + all Call of Warhammer players).

Now, on the graphical "bugs" yeah i will try to fix this for sure
For mouse highlighting it is not always very easy to adjust it, but i'll do my best.

[cedric37]

Ok i give a try to Gracul's suggestions on the middle-eastern ui.

Can somebody test it in game (i cannot right now, but i still get access to PS) ?
I have added a OK button, fixed the graphic glitches and now the image on the tab is the same (just change of lighting).

I would appreciate some feedback

PS/ the tick will be like this for instance (for middle east):

[cedric37]

Ok i have redone all the ui's chosen by gracul following gracul's comments + some other adjustments from me

Also i have changed the colours for Middle-eastern one, i did not like the warm ones (were the backgrounds from vanilla and too monochrome...)
I hope you like it, it is now REALLY warm
