VR gui
« on: March 31, 2005, 04:45:24 pm »
Greetings.

I\'ve finished the gui that has been under construction for few months now. It\'s by far the longest project I have done to PS. Being pretty brown and messy at parts (I\'m no Nanaki!), it still gives some variation to the original CB graphical user interface.

I was stupid enough to tamper some of the xml data. This lead into troubles whenever new updates came out; I had to check what had changed, and add those changes to my gui. And I\'ll have to keep doing this if I want to keep the gui working with any upcoming releases.

The packed file is over 14MB in size, so I won\'t be able to host it myself. Hopefully I\'ll find a way to upload it to ps-mc or similar.

VR gui lacks:

- Unique PS loading bg (splash17.jpg)
- Unique zodiac graphics (zodiacs.zip)

 (sorry for multiple edits)

Edit:
I redid the money icons, as can be seen in the screenshots, but they are located in a zip file that also contains models that I\'m not going to recreate, so I can\'t distribute the money.zip as a part of the gui. However, I changed money icon path from releaselist.xml, so they\'re loaded from art/gui/ directory instead. This way I can leave the money.zip off, and still provide you the new money icons.

Here are few screenshots:


Main windows.


Shopping.


Creating a character.


Old inventory.


New inventory & info window.

The inventory and infowindow were given some updates.

I did some more testing and increased compatibility with 800x600 resolution. Now both 1024x768 and 800x600 work quite well, though there are some bugs that I was not able to get rid of. Please see \'known_issues\' in the readme file for more details.

Here is the \'readme\'-file for it:

I love it! All that woodgrain gives it a warm inviting feeling. Good work. :)

Wow. That looks wonderful!
I recomend uploading it to http//:http://www.yousendit.com and then sharing the link here and let a few people host it on local FTPs. I REALLY want to have a go at this. The interface just makes everything seem so rich and alive compared to the opaque default interface! :D

That\'s amazing! Definately worth your work. Is there any chance we could get the devs to accept this as a stardard? I really think people would go for it.

Umm...I doubt it would get accepted as the default, but it rocks regardless.

In my highly un-biased oppinion I would recommend sending it to a ps-mc admin to get it hosted there.  I\'ll PM you my...I mean...an admin\'s email address. ;)

That is gorgeous, Cherppow.  We\'ll make sure Talad sees this and perhaps we can make a torrent out of it.

That looks very nice Cherppow. I can see you put alot of work into it. I especially like all those little changes, the leaf highlight on the chat window, the different stance icons, the character market. The more I look at it, the more I find. Very impressive. Just from the screenshots, I think I like it better than the original. You need to submit that to ps-mc so I can try it out.

I like it, too. In fact, it immediately made me think that it would be awesome to make a different gui for each race. This one, for instance, reminded me of the Dermorians, being all woody and naturey. It would be great to have, say, a rock one for Krans, etc. etc. Lots of work, I know but it\'s a nice dream.

Beautiful work Cherppow, mayhap we\'ll be seeing more of the same in the future? :) I hope this encourages others to give it a try too!

Woah.  I\'ve got to get my hands on this and get my PS working again.
