It looks great so far! It would be cool to create new "skin" for the LOM interface too. I always thought it would look good with a more "wood-like" finish. I'm very excited after what you've done with the game after my lengthy absence. I hope you make that October deadline ;-) Har! It looks great so far!

I'm working on a new release of a new PIC.mpq, so if anyone wants to try to come up with something to use as an interface, give it a try. In doing this, you would also have to make an edit the turn dials, which use graphics in them that go with the current interface. |

Would you extract the current skin? I wouldn't know where to start because I have not experience in MPQ editing. Thanks in advance!

mantera.xorgate.com/files/interface.rarYou would have to replace the stone backgrounds on each of the little extra buttons and graphics and such. It should be easy to just delete and replace each pixel with pure green, as it will be transparent in game.

I have it come to mind that it would be interesting to have it a wall of brick like stones. I suppose it's not possible to have a different interface for each faith?

I've been thinking about how I would go about doing this. It might take some work. Can't say for sure, but it MAY be possible. |

As it is anything will be an improvement. The interface isn't well designed well enough to mesh with the sprite and 3d map.
It has all the qualities of a poor shoping.
Should do some brainstorming among the active community to decide what might work best for each faith. Mostly a nobrainer but their are some that need careful thought. Chaos comes to mind and death. Chaos mostly as I can't really think of elements to symbolize the concept offhand.

Some people wanted a new interface or suggested a new one. So I figured I'd give someone the chance to come up with a real awesome one. So far, not even a sample has been given.
I suppose everyone is content with the current interface.

I suppose everyone is content with the current interface. I wouldn't know where to start myself. Everything on lom seems to have a basis in the 3d and unless I can wizard up something in the ps I don't think it would match with the game or the former interface. I'll put some thought into it though and if anyone has some ideas maybe we could at least brainstorm together and if anyone picks up the project there would be something to start with. There are three interfaces in the game. One for overland map, capital and combat. There may be more though. add: I don't have screenshots or have an idea of where the information or file for the interface is. Could someone provide one so it's available? add: It occurs to me that there may be limits to what the game can display as well in number of colors. |

It should be easy to just delete and replace each pixel with pure green, as it will be transparent in game. There are the interface graphics. Is this all of them? I don't know, but I this is enough. Given that no one has come forward with any samples, it's not going to matter if it is all of them or not. |

hope I can make myself try. Is it that color green I see all the time or is it any color green?

The pure green is used as a transparency in the game. The pure red is used as a translucent in the game.
So, anything that's pure green will be see through.

i have photoshop too and i thought about like doing or redoing a new interface but as universe said, it just would not match... is that ok?
i just want to refine them a bit... if u look at the dials (where all the elements) theres little bits of pieces... that jus annoys me!!!
1 idea that i had when i saw this was i wanted to put the ELEMENTS FLAG ON THE DIAL OF THE FAITH...
idk tho [Laugh out Loud] xD

Can you program more animation into this thing mantra? I would if I knew how to edit the sprites. I would need the tools that would know how to open, edit and save the sprites. |

Since it draws from gifs it's a question of finding the programing making use of them and altering or extending it. |
