He he, here is a "dirty" preview of the wooden alternative (made from photoshop, not from in-game screenshot, so it is not polished, just concentrate on the idea ).

What sticks out to me in the northern european version is the white and blueish "wallpaper" background in the settlement screens. I think it should be more nondescript like in the western european version. Otherwise good work!

[cedric37]

You mean the eastern ui ? This flowery background is completly russian though but you are maybe right, it is not stupid to put some old paper instead, for the sake of readibility

EDIT: and thanks

[Gorrrrrn]

any idea how we get y's faction shields back?

[cedric37]

Well i can include y's shields in my files, this is the only mean
But i shall ask him first.

EDIT: ok he agree with that so i will include all y's eyecandy stuff in my files shortly
(and give him credits, this is without saying)

Ok, so now here is a preview of the wooden eastern ui, and yes i must admit i prefer it to the white stone one

Included is the excellent work from my friend y2day
So before downloading this, you should definitely download Eye Candy v2.0 from y2day, unless you want some messy 2D interface

Thanks to him and if you like the faction emblems, rep him (not me).



y2day's Stainless Steel Eye Candy 2.0: Download

E2DI / Eastern European interface: eastern110.rar


EDIT: I don't think i will keep the "stone" version (need to include y2day's work in it and it is not as good as this one IMO).
The same goes with Northern European ui, i will certainly merge "gracul" and "dull" versions into one and let the bright for colours lovers
I will update those ui's with y2day's stuff and add credit and links to his work in the header (currently it is only in the "wood" ui section, since it is included only there).

Cheers,
Cédric.

[Khosrau]

It's great man, thanks. You're working really hard!

[Caesar Clivus]

They look great Cedric

[cedric37]

Thanks guys
Yes it took me some hours, but it was fun

And thanks CC, you were right, wood is much better

EDIT: I have merged "gracul" and "dull" versions into one "standard" (they were quite similar already) and included y's nice stuff into it.

Also i have included y's stuff into the bright version too

I have updated 1st post with previews and download links.

[Lemming69]

well done cedric and well done for france beating the paddies at rugby this afternoon

[cedric37]

Lol, thanks and for Rugby, well what can i say: "vive la france!" maybe ?

EDIT: mmm it seems that the eastern stone version was prefered over the wooden one, maybe i should re-up it with y's stuff...
EDIT2: ok done, updated the 1st post, so now both versions are available to download

cedric37: I'd love to include this in next RR/RC release, with your permission, I'm always trying to increase the medieval atmosphere. What are your recommendations for which file sets to use?

[cedric37]

Dear PB, you can include part or all of my E2DI submod in your next RR/RC release, as long as credit is given. I recommend you to take the eastern "wood" and northern "dull" versions.

BTW, next ui that i will remake will probably be the middle-eastern one

[Rat-tail]

I think the Eastern Stone is great ! Pls keep up the good work.

[cedric37]

Thanks

[Lemming69]

i like both wood and stone- the stone looks more sophisticated, whereas the wood looks more battlehardened- like the warriors of the rus. i like the wood because the rus people were famed for their use of wood, i like the stone because it seems more artistic and cultured

[cedric37]

Yeah, you are right
Rus are/were battlehardened people, but in terms of art, they are/were really sophisticated.
So i am happy that both please players

Superb work, thankyou very much, will credit you of course.

Look forward to Middle Eastern.
