(WIP) crew and menu mod for ROW

[kriller2]

This is a little mod I am working on to go with the new Pacific Enviroment for ROW.

Before:

After:

If all goes well the new colours/textures will expand all through the interface of SH4, it depends if you think it's a good idea?

BTW I am allso thinking about making 15 new loadscreens to go with this, so if anyone have some realy good screenshots with the new mod and have the skills in Photoshop you are welcome to post your picture in this thread, if it's good I will use it in the mod with your permission offcause.

It would be best to get screenshots of Pacific ROW from a GFX-card capable to show the sun halos, such as Nvidia and the new ATI cards.

The picture have to be in 1024 x 512 pixels, thanks! :up:

*Ehrm!*
You know, even Ye Olde ATi cards can show sun halo for a while :yep:

Here, take a look at this:

Flat and borning, eh?

Ah, but look at this:

What do you know! A sun halo! Magic!
Well, not really. Just alt-tab out of the game when I'm in Nav Map, then back again, and QUICKLY go to outside view, lower the HUD, and take the pic!

BTW, this mod looks bloody fantastic! :up:

ETA: Forgot to say, my graphics card is an X1650Pro, but this trick worked on my old Radeon 9600 Pro, too.

Can you include in this the amount of deck gun ammo?

[DrBeast]

Regarding the screenies: would you like them colored or in black and white/sepia?

I mucked around in Paint Shop Pro a bit with one of the pics I posted earlier, came up with this:

Kriller - it would be great if you could improve on the whole crew management process... but given the limitations of the game, I think your improvement (both color and background) looks great!

Yes that would be nice, but it requires some programming-skills and I am like an elephant in a hospital when it comes to programming. Which means alot of victims and only a few survivors ;)

[Alex]

This work is a good idea !
If you let me give you an advice, I would suggest using a real US Navy picture in the background (as ROW is about the real looking of the world, perhaps it would look good if you paste a real official US Navy document dealing with the management of the crew on board in the background :D).

Looks nice, really ! :cool: :up:

[Defiance]

In PS i just altered canvas size

[Schultzy]

Here's one of my favourites. I don't know whether or not it's suitable but it fits the blue theme. ;)

Thanks Dr. Beast I will try this and see if the sun flair can be seen for a few secs.

EDIT: Yes! It worked.

Browsing through my SH4 image captures and thought i'd just post another screenie I liked.

Btw I love the loading screen Kriller!

[CDR Resser]

I like the looks of this mod idea. The management screens in the stock version are just too plain.

Kylesplanet, could you post a larger version of that, I would love to use it as a desktop for my computer! 1280 x 1024 is what I use for resolution.
