Nameless1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Great work. This is definitely a mod I'll install right from the start if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks good. I think I might give this a shot. However, I did like the original orange icons which I might keep. Is there anything that can be done about the bright red text that shows up when a soldier is injured? I always felt like it was way out of place. Maybe a yellow or a gray would look better.

Skitso Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mod updated to 0.42 This fixes a bug that caused the game to crash in certain situations when entered in aircraft equipment screen. Sorry about this! Also few other small additions Changes also updated to OP https://www.mediafire.com/?l4dem56msp5k76b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Dread Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Skitso: Firstly Thanks! I'm not a fan of white schemes and like the dark theme you've come up with.. tho i may darken the world maps a little more yet :-) However there are a few minor changes I'd like to make and a few questions. There doesnt seem to be any grid lines in the ground combat inventory. Is this intended? How can i put them back, some black ones would go well. Also what do i need to change if i want my green and red colour bars back for weight etc? Whilst I quite like the darker look of your mod and love the transparency/darker guns especially I'd still like some colour in mine ;P Gauddlike: How can I get your black clipboards... Your screens with them are impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks for your comments! Ground combat inventory uses same graphic elements as the soldier equipment screen back at the base. As they are transparent now, it's a bit of a problem in ground combat inventory screen. I did add a gray scale gradient background there so that the grid lines would be more visible, but i guess theres still room for improvement. You will never see green (or any other bright coloured) bars in this mod! I can however post you instructions tomorrow when I'm back at my computer on how you can change them to your own liking. It's easy. Edited January 15, 2014 by Skitso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The grid lines are actually borders on the original images, it should easily be possible to make only the middles of the box transparent while leaving the grid lines opaque. The clipboards are just modified from the one on the main menu screen, I haven't done any more work on them though so they are still not perfect. I also never got around to making one to fit the larger area required for the personnel screen. I was working on it though so if I get a chance I will finish it up, Skitso might be interested in using it if I can make it dark enough The clipboards are in this zip though if you want them, just copy them into assets/ui_screens/ui_workshop and ui_research. The rest of the files are just backups of my test runs on adjusting the ui, might not want to bother with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitso Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Okay, so here's the steps to change bar colors in the soldier equipment screen: 1. Backup sequipview.lua in the /assets/scripts/ folder 2. Open sequipview.lua in the /assets/scripts/ folder with Notepad, WordPad or similar text editor 3. Search for "local pbarcolor" this alters the base bar color (atributes, weight and TU penalty) in the soldier equipment screen 4. You can change it to "barcolor = Color(RRR,GGG,BBB,TTT)," where RRR is red component 0-255, GGG is green component 0-255, BBB is blue component 0-255 and TTT is transparency which you need to set to 255 in this one) for example local pbarcolor = Color(255,0,0,255), displays bright red bar. 5. Then we need to change the second bar color (atribute gain) search for BarSecondColor. It's few lines above. Change it the same way. 6.Then we still need to find the overweight bar color. Search for CARRWEIGHT and count 17 lined down from there. You should find barcolor2 = Color(100,100,100,255),. Change it the same way and you are done. You can change bar colors same way in the other screens too. Edited January 16, 2014 by Skitso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belmakor Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't see why mods like this couldn't just be bundled with vanilla (with the acceptance of Skitso) and an option was made available in the graphics options for "oppressive" or "normal" UI?

Max_Caine Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The question would be, as the lead dev, what mods do you offically sanction? (Making a button in the game for a specific mod would be offical sanctioning of a mod) The ones you like? The ones you think will fit with the game? The ones the other devs like? The ones you don't like but the hoi polloi do? The ones whose creators have a big following? Do you develop a system for greenlighting "official" mods? How many buttons do you allow? Where do the buttons go - who alters the UI for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 A mod that adds buttons for mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalDragon Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Wao donwloaded and testing, your mod make visuals splendid and dark... great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifehole Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I like the look of the mod and all the little UI touchups but the vignette is kinda excessive for me (in some areas.), still a great UI mod, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 What do you guys think, should I include this geoscape look to my Oppressive UI as a default or as a separate downloadable option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caaygun Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Looks great! but then the GC tiles and aliens also need mods to conform to the imminent zombie/alien apocalypse feel of it (or perhaps even a universal Red mitigation about %20 would suffice, they're so colorful that the above geoscape will only then be not too out of place i fear). Looks really great man, interesting that just how much does a small thing as the color palette might change about the atmosphere! You should have came up with the oppressive ui mod earlier in development that maybe it would then make its way into the general artwork and be default vanilla. And then the above work of art would be the really oppressive ui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
