Interface Overhaul Mod

[gazwefc83]

Recently suggested that the TEW interface, skin, text etc was to rough, bright and in your face, the game looks as if its stuck in the 90's, i personally couldnt play the game for more than an hour without getting a headache my topic was closed, apparently Adam believed it was to much work and it wasnt a valid suggestion. So i spent the last two days doing it all myself

This isnt just a new skin, all buttons, in game text has been re writen, every screen and graphic etc has been redone, to make the game look more modern, pleasing and easy on the eyes

Here is a preview, the release will come when i checked through everything to ake sure all is OK

The Preview Screens

Slightly off topic, I really really like the promotion pics you have in those screens. Did you make those yourself? They look very impressive.

Kudos to you for going out and doing this. I like the shades you've gone for, although having such an expanse of blank space seems a little odd after the textures on the default and grunge mod. Just a case of getting used to it, I guess.

The other comment would be that on the creative meeting screen and a couple of other places the buttons blend in with the background, so possibly a different colour for one or the other, or an outline around the buttons could work.

Otherwise it looks cool.

Its pretty simple, I kind of liked it.

Obviously it wasn't a pointless thread if a consumer of the product wanted to say something, but I've noticed thats how this board goes.

[HHUK]

This is perfect, hope you finish it.

I'll definately download and use it.

too true.

gazwe, I havent had the headache problem to the same extent that u have, but those screenies are easier on the eye and make the menus seem more negotiable. good stuff.

[gazwefc83]

thanks for all your comments, its coming along nicely and quickly should be finished very soon, just afew buttons and graphics to do then any tweaks

@ Hive - i created those logos using CW's background and CW created the CMLL logo, they will be available for download once i release my 1989 mod which will be very soon also (cheap plug)

[Woodsmeister]

not that it matters but the CMLL logo is there brand new one should you be using there old one for an early 90's mod?

[StealthGD]

Yes very much easier on the eyes. I appreciate the effort.

[gazwefc83]

@ Woodsmeister - cheers glad you noticed that, ill be changing that before release

@ StealthGD - no problem matey, glad you like it

[kgreen]

love how PWI screen. That works great for pre-internet mods as it make it feel more like a magazine then a website

[gazwefc83]

iv just the the offical PWI logo to now so that will be added

[burningdreams25]

yeah this will no doubt be the one i'm going to use. its simple, but pleasing to the eyes.

Are you going to be re-doing the button images in the buttons folder? Other wise you're going to have random buttons pop up that look totally out of place.
