Hi:

Dont like much the SH5 Interface, so this is my first attempt to design new SH4 Style Interface (ww2 vdetailed tech style).

Working now with TheDarkWraith, if this releases someday as another UI option = big credits to him (thx friend).

Detailed WW2 Style Game Interface: (04-01-2010).

Curretly working on some buttons, I will start soon with rest of the interface, up and down (left) parts.

Old Progress: (not working on it)

Thats all, hope you like it, no release for now, want to try new desings (dials and icons) and have to pm some modders (permission to release). :know:

Sorry about my poor English, Im spanish.

Bye !!

Good job - much better than the insanity that was the standard interface.

Hi:

Well, it's a reskin of SH4 interface, so the base is the same, don't want to complicate more, if I add total new interface it would be much harder to implement (lot of new locations), anyway... you don't like how it looks? if you want I can change something :up:

Bye !!

it's not that I don't like how it looks. It's the fact that in order to make it work you have to use my code, which you haven't asked to do and quite frankly I won't give permission for. You can supply new 'skins', that's fine to use with the UI mods. In order to make the officer buttons functional took LOTS of scripting code (and even more code in v1.2.0). In order to make the dials zoom took scripting code also.
Now if you would like to work with me to add another style of interface to the UI mods I would be more than happy to add another style. It would require some work from you though.

this seams like a very generous offer considering how some people may react in a totally different less friendly sort of way to finding out that all their hard work was being "borrowed" without permission.

its good to see your still open to sharing and teaching so he can do his own version of the modded files, thats the spirit that made this community so great :yeah:

i would like to ask that if there are any differences that need to be worked out in this matter that it be done through PM and not in open forum

I must be a complete moron because despite some (very appreciated) help from TheDarkWraith and with a full re-install and no other mods and clear instructions, I still can't get this to work!!!

This is the best mod yet released and I desperately want it to work!!!

Brilliant!!! I followed the simplified instructions on another thread. Extract to desktop, copy and paste into ubi/shv and enable, works a treat!!! Superb mod. Can anyone advise me how to enable the version with all the dials though?? I just have the one with the guys mugshots at the bottom and the compass repeater, whereas I would like the SHIV dials can anyone help in laymans terms???

no differences here. I like his work and people like his UI style so far so I would love to work with him to incorporate his style as another UI option in my UI mods :DL It would be a win-win situation for the both of us.

As a matter of fact I have sent PM to TDW, too about additional graphic file for his mod but haven't heard back from him...

Is the picture in post #17 the final version?
I like the graphics in your file but IMO the "pipes" under the dials looked better in the first version. If you take a look at the original SH4 GUI these parts are actually "clickable" (i.e. change between normal/mouse-over/clicked images).

For some reason the original version set those "pipes" little bit more apart from the rest of the GUI. Hard to explain but I hope you understand what I mean... :)

Yes, me too unanswered.

Pipes are part of the dials graphics, easy to change, no problem.

Note: New ones have mouse over states too.

Sounds like you guys could use a Vetrilo server for VOIP communications. Anyone know if the 5 person free Ventrilo servers are still around?
