Preview

This are UI elements that Im working on, I will post new ones and updates when I have more material to show.

Notes:

1: For now this is only a preview so please dont ask for download link or release date.

2: The modern UI look is inspired by Silent Hunter online browser game and SH5 ( "crew designs" are from SHO game).

3: I need volunteers to import UI elements to the game because my knowledge with menu editor is -0.

4: If you are curious, this graphics are made with Photoshop cs6 and Illustrator for vectors, most of them from scratch.

5: I'm open to suggestions, opinions etc...

6: Please, dont steal my works, Thx.

Command Bar 100% Finished

Message Box 100% Finished

Radio Messages 80% Finished

Top right pannel 100% Finished

Dials 70% Finished

U-jagd chrono 80% Finished

All in one preview

Hope you like it.

Bye

That looks awesome!
Keeping an eye on this.

You mention ui mod.
So no load screens etc?
Purely a icon and menu mod?

Reason i ask is because i may well continue with my new screens mod and didn't want it to conflict with your work.

Do you plan any scope view like those:

I'd love to see them again, even better with blurred background on sides...

About UI icons, dials etc, would be great to get them disappear/appearing when mousing over

Awesome! Looking forward to your progress

Since you asked for it... I see you have picked some non-standard officer faces. Can you make a version with stock faces, and another one with MFCM alt faces?

Your gfx look so clean and beautiful that they invite theft

volodya61 · 08-04-13, 09:30 AM

Everything looks very nice, especially combined dials and depth bar idea

, except this terrible face -
Stock image is much more appropriate.. in my opinion

For now no plan for scope views because first I want to finish the main UI page.

1: I have designed the graphics taking into mind the TDW UI but I think that the graphics could work in any UI, even in older SH games (for example u-jagd chrono).

2/3: Thx Gap, maybe you want to finish the needles of the dials//u-jagd ? what you want, even alternative new personal officer faces (stock, MFCM..)

Note: This is the original photo of the U-jagd chrono:

Well, if you are using TDW UI I suppose that yes (this are only alternative UI graphics).

Bye !!

Well, I dont know if you are saying that you dont like the new rectangular shape, that you prefer circular one, or that you dont like the new weather images or only the captain face...

Bye...

I am afraid it is not so simple. Placing correctly your new graphics would require editing menu ini files, and each UI mod got its own version of them

What do you want me to do? Cut off the needles and scale them down to fit the size of clock face?

Exactly

I agree with Volodya here. In my opinion it should look like the the day/night indicator of some clocks:
