Very sleek. Could I put in a request for a Fallout 1 style interface?

Somehow the interface looks far too bright. You should use the FRM Animator for converting frm into bmp. This gives the best quality.

Nice one. I also like the other new Interface skewjen made. Unfortunatly this one here doesnt work with the transparancy mod. Could you fix that maybe?

Yes, I noticed the interface was a bit brighter than what it should be, must be the program I used, I will use the FRM Animator in future.
Now I have darkened the HUD a bit.

Does it look any better? If so, I will upload this one.

I'm not sure, It may be something in the .ini file. This is to be expected when people make separate mods.

I now had to disable it. For unknown reasons i saw no interface anymore at least when i entered some storage like the workbench for example. The main interface is still there but the interface of the workbench isnt. You only see the items and some arrows for scrolling down and up.

Hmm, I can't see this being related to the mod. Imo, I think it may be a client bug, did you try restarting the client then trying that again? There is no replacement ini file in the intrface folder so it couldn't have done it I think, it only replaces HUD graphics.

Yes i did. And the result was the same. I now deleted the whole folder and copied the older one again into the directory with the skewjen interface...

Did you have more than just the HUD mod's files in the intrface folder? If so that would probably be it (shouldn't mix different interface mods, really), other than that I have no idea. ???

Hmm no...i wanted to have a clean folder but of course i'm not sure anymore...copy this paste that, could be some kind of mixed files problem. But i surely know that i didnt changed something since yesterdays login so it must be something i didnt had an influence on.

I hope you don't mind, but I used this mod as the base of something I am working on.

I can totally just use the original interface if you don't want me using it.

Check out what happened here (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=895.0). I'm fine with you using it as long as you ask in future, at least you were more polite about it.
And can I ask exactly what it has inherited from my mod? Because I'm not seeing it.
Or did you just not know how to get the original versions of the FOnline HUD?

I think it looks pretty nice, I love the message box background.

well I liked the Fallout 2 hud more then the FOnline hud, so I started using that, since I already had the files, I figured I'd use that instead of hunting the FOnline hud files, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, it's fine. I've still got to finish this one actually, way too bright. I've planned to do a Fallout 1 version as long as no one butts in and steals my idea. ;)

I'm trying to figure out a way to make the hud animated, it would be cool to see the message screen flicker.

You can set gif animations for the hud, instead of the png. Another way is to try our *.fofrm format. Check out car *.fofrm files from Humvee, etc. for examples. Not sure if it works, but in theory it should and the quality is better than gif.

Post by: UnidentifiedFlyingTard on January 19, 2010, 11:19:43 am
Well, there are animated PNG's, I just have to figure out how to do that.
Title: Re: Fallout 2 Style Interface
Post by: Lexx on January 19, 2010, 11:51:12 am
Why so complex, if it's easier to use fofrm format?
Title: Re: Fallout 2 Style Interface
Post by: UnidentifiedFlyingTard on January 19, 2010, 12:03:55 pm
well, tell me how to and I will try it out.

No, because I've said everything already.

huh uh, and hew we are supposed to see contents of *.fofrm files?

Ok, last off-topic post in here. For further question, make a new thread.

Open the client *.dat files with DatExplorer and extract their content into some random directory (maybe client/data/). Now you have all files in there and most probably some *.fofrm's too (if you extracted a lucky *.dat file. If not, try another *.dat file). The *.fofrm files can be opened with every simple text editor. Now check out the *.fofrm files from caravan cars or so and you will see how it works. It's very obvious and simple.
