Title: New "skin" for Tremulous
Post by: Hellrider on September 28, 2007, 11:43:53 pm
Not another HUD this time  :D  I had some spare time to spend lately so i decided to make a new interface for Tremulous..

This mod/skin/whatever is based on Mindy's plugin (http://tremulous-fr.geeknode.org/viewtopic.php?id=973) (aka graph05), who takes most of the credits (the Screenshot Viewer plugin is taken 'as is' from his mod).

Here are a few screenshots:

The alternative "background" is this one (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=12119#12119) by vcxzet. I choose it without asking him first since it's really nice.. If he wants me to remove it, just pm me or write a post here, thanks  :wink:

It's pretty easy to install, unzip the file below into the 'base' folder (next to Tremulous.exe/.app/whatever) and that's it!

Three words: "Become a Modder"

Essentially, start designing your own gameplay mod. I don't count visual effects as a modification. I count humans building on walls as a modification.

Yikes. I re-read this, it sounds kind of hostile. I love your "mod" and your HUD. Luv-Luv-Luv. I just think that you can put your talents to cooler use.

I see what you mean and probably "mod" is a bit too much (i wrote "skin" in the title infact).. But referring to "ui" or "user interface" is less attracting for people who don't understand what i'm talking about..  :wink:  :D

Essentially it's just an alternative graphical interface (with a few additions)  :D

Shiny.
Two things that I would love to be in next release:
1. No demo option on main menu.
2. Server browser shows a pretty small list compared to default, compact the button layout some.

1. Maybe you are referring to the "screenshot" option? Otherwise i don't understand sorry  :o

2. Well imo the default server browser takes too much space but i see your point. As it is now it is not much better; i'll think about reorganizing it a bit, thanks.  :wink:

Recorded demos, you know, something that has been in the Quake engine since Quake1. You usually have to watch demos using console, but some Quake3 engine games have a demo option in the menu.

Ok you want a sort of demo viewer then  :D  Sorry my english phails sometimes, i thought you wanted it removed (infact there was "no demo option")  :D

I'll try anyway  :)

I like the skin but the server browser takes too long to load sometimes and the "Play" screen is a little confusing o.0
Maybe Make the server browser a little bigger and make the buttons smaller. Also the "Server Info" is a little too small. I thought the default size was fine, but Good job!

The server buttons are a bit large, would be nice if you made them smaller so we can see more servers.

it looks great but the buttons are HUGE. try slimming down the buttons a little; other than that it's a great skin!

Yea i'm lazy, forgot to change the "about" menu, anyway the changes are so small that maybe even 1.0.1 is too much  :wink:


If i make the buttons smaller the screen looks more "empty", i think they are fine this way (they were a bit reduced anyway)..

It looks pretty sweet!  Can someone please mirror it in a format other than .zip or .sit?  I can't download those files for some reason...  The same thing happened with his HUD, which I REALLY want, so if it's possible to do, could someone make it happen?    ...please?

Thanks,

Hello!

Amazing job there, but found a bug, and an aesthetic problem. Bug it might only appear for me, then let me know how to fix.  :-\

1. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9646/backgroundbugkl5.png - It has been shown after: "set to Hellrider's BG -> click on Play button -> then click on Back to enter main menu again".
2. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/636/outofwindowoc2.png - Info goes out of border.

With appreciation,

nobody has worked on this project for several years now.

Those are some minor bugs i already knew about (thanks for posting anyway)..

The real problem is that i am lazy and when i got them fixed i never thought about re-releasing it..
For the background thing i got tired and simply removed it, while the server thing has an easy fix modifying the width of the window for server info..

Archangel is right, i have not worked on this for a while, but i do plan to do something similar (as well as a new hud) when and if trem 1.2 is released.. Untill that you will have to live with this or choose another hud  ;D
