Custom screen progress

Since last night, after talking to Llyver and Xardon on IRC I decided to start work on my own custom GUI for the client. So far I have the menu done, except it seems it's missing something. =P

  • Main Screen: 100%
  • Logging Screen: 100%
  • Option Screens: 100%
  • Server Selection: 100%
  • Loading Screen: 100%
  • Buttons: 100%
  • Arrows, Check boxes, Scrollbars, etc.: 100%

I need something to fill the left space with. I was thinking of a Ice dragon, or any other type of white-blue dragon.

Don't mind the yellow numbers, that's the FPS being displayed on the window.

I'm basing the GUI on the SoD homepage, I really like how it was designed and it's really easy to work with in photoshop.

If you guys want, I could post an in-depth tutorial on how to go about changing the screens and whatnot, it's really simple.

Big thanks to to the guys in IRC for pointing me to the SoD Wiki article, and actually sparking my interest.

I won't say it will change our lives, but I enjoy the idea of having a more customed client, whatever the change. Good work dude !
 
If you can figure out some way that would let me click an 'alton' shortcut on my desktop and poof, in game as Alton would make me love you forever.

IDK if it would read an .ini file somewhere or what it would have to do, but seriously try to figure that out =p

Not possible with this client, sorry.
 
Looks very cool.

Can you nix buttons altogether though? I mean not much need for a chat button or owned expansions button =p
 
That isn't possible, if you remove any .bmp from the client, the client will crash to desktop. I could make it transparent and thus not visible, but if you press it you'd see that message saying "Chat is currently congested or not available..."
 
I like the floating shards in the main screens. :D Thats a pretty good looking screen of the Iksar. I like the swirling effects around his weapons, good job. :toot:
 
I currently use the Iksar screenshot there for my loading screen, but I have a wierd thing when I use EQWindows that no matter what size I play the game in, the loading screen about 60% of it is a large black border, with only about 2/3 of the lading image visible. Is there anyway I can fix this by any chance?

Thx I didn't understand wtf were those B&W triangles :)

Btw just a feedback :
- about the iksar loading screen : looks really cool I've used it for a few weeks since I learnt about it. Is it supposed to show the kaezulian domination during the war in lore ?
- about this shards login : looks kinda weird from my non-artistic point of view, I'm waiting foe Kyeld's one :dance:
 
<-- Yulanaia

My computer went boom just after we got really going on this stuff, i was in the midst of doing exactly what Kyeld is doing right now, using the web site as a theme, for the same reasons too, except i use gimp (drop-in photoshop replacement) + irfanview (great resampling engines), not photoshop. I'm not paying money for software i can get the same application free through gnu ;) I got the Company splash replacement done, but nothing else:

I made a splash screen! Click HERE to get rid of that the Company logo and replace it with the SoD one below:

Click to expand...

the splash screen could also be made into a load screen, but i figured with the way some clients (including mine) screw that one up, i'll come up with a one that concentrates the Shards of Dalaya into the section that'll always be visible, even in screwed up screens.

the blue sky effect was done by using the resampling engines in irfanview to mix the existing sky background into a new format.

EDIT: btw, Kyeld, if you'd like to incorporate what i'd done there into it, feel free, we both stole the originals from the web site ;)
 
when i downloaded the one put into the manual downloads it only replaced the loadscreen and server select. I need to do something besides paste em all into eq folder?
 
I've done a lot, I'm finishing on some screens, and redoing the scroll bars. After all that is done I'm going to finish the EULA screen, then go to work on the Luclin Options, and the advance graphics screen.

The only problem I see is how I'm going to distribute this, I guess I'll just pack all the .paks into a ZIP or RAR, maybe I'll create an installer instead.

EDIT: Nvm than :p
 
New screenies, the EULA is next, I still haven't touched the other option's though. I'll leave them for last.

EDIT: I cant find the EULA screen, any help Xardon? :D I've tried all the eqfeart.paks
 
I found it, it's in eqfeart1.pak.

News.bmp - shared between the EULA, Luclin option screens, and of course, the news screen.

Secret is out :O

Now to find the overlays that go on the top. Rawr.

EULA overlay is in eqfeart8.pak - txeula.bmp

Luclin options is in there aswell - txluclinoptions.bmp

CORRECTION: The News overlay is in eqfeart2.pak - txnews2.bmp
