Interface

[Spartan_Shame]

I think is we truly want a new interface for RS 2.0, we should start putting up ideas on what we want, ie a united interface for all factions, culture specific inrterfaces, what colours, all of that.

I think, and tyhis is just my opinion, that we should use the trim from the loading screen, create a black interface, to give the mod a more 'darker' feel.

Anyone else got any ideas?

[Drtad]

I like the dark interface idea. I would make the mod more intriguing.

I still like the idea of a unique 'Roma Surrectum universal\multi-cultural' interface...but that's just me.

Just something with a little bit of everything on it, DVK?

[Spartan_Shame]

Well I think a dark interface would add heaps of 'mystique" (what does that mean???) to the game

[aja5191]

Maybe we could just do a black background with all of the faction icons faded and layered onto it?

PS. romulus753 just got back to me about the screenshot of the moth thing, and he said that he didn't want to be a part of the team. but he did say that we could use his pic as a loading screen, so whatever.

I was just surprised.

What 'moth thing'?

I like the idea of a darker interface, something almost battered and worn, like a suit of battle-tested armor. And a unified interface makes sense since it will require less work and probably look better overall.

I'm confused we're already using a custom interface aren't we? If so why do we need to change it? Adding more work for the sake of more work doesn't seem to make any sense.

[Spartan_Shame]

We mean in game interface

[Squid]

So did I. Like what you see when you're on the strat map.

[Spartan_Shame]

Isnt ours the stock CA one, with the off pink colours, and normal borders? Also the battle interface. For example:





and on the campaign map:





These are from Halie Satanus' mod End of Days

[Squid]

It might be that was why I was asking. I thought it was different from vanilla already, which was why I was asking.

[dvk901]

I have done some work on the Iterface for the Strat Map part, but I'm talking about one for the whole nine yards.....and what I did, well, could be done better. I learned a lot since I did those. It's just that now, I have no time.

[Spartan_Shame]

*is confused*

Ok sorry, but Im pretty sure the one we are using is the original from rome. COULD BE WRONG, but thats what I thought


EDIT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I remember!! But yes not just that, I mean the while colour scheme as well.

Sorry, but all iv layed is RS for so long, I forget what the actual rome looks like. Hey, I really do!!

[tone]

You could make the same argument about skins...This mod's got skins other than vanilla, why do more just for the sake of it?

I ask myself that frequently!

[Spartan_Shame]

Well I would be happy to do it. I dont have much "busy time" cept for school

Also I need to know how to do the whole shebang. I was gonna ask Caius from the RTR team. He also did The Crusades, which completely changed the look, but he was been inactive for like a month.

The interface is composed of a number of files located in pack files. Here's one of them:
