GUI Revamp Version 2.0 RELEASED
« le: 08 mars 2010, 09:12:25 am »
!!! - UPDATE 11.03.2010: Version 2.1 is released! (Default) Red, Blue and (new) GREEN, now with fancy installer / uninstaller and 3 shortcuts on the desktop to start the game in red, blue or green :) - !!!

Click here to download v2.1



UPDATE 08.03.2010:

Download NOW AVAILABLE at the HistWar:Les Grognards unofficial File Depot in the "Graphic Mods" Category :)



After I finished the Gettysburg map, I spent the rest of the night revamping the GUI. It startet out with turning all the red parts into blue. But it went a bit further, see for yourself.

I'm not completely finished yet, so there's no download link for now, but you can expect one within the next 24-48 hours, maybe even earlier :)

Feedback is welcome, please tell me what you like / don't like :)

It's behind belief...  :shock: 8) :smile:

I have to finish some major adjustments in the game... but after that, we could look at the different possible mods  ;)
First of all, I have to write a document for giving the structure of datas.

Spec10 I think they look great.  A great harmony of colours and tones.

I want to ask where I learn to modify the colours like that.  Any 'modding 101' guides anywhere you know?

Another idea is that colour schemes for each major army are possible.  I like Russians and would mind such a scheme but around greens and reds rather than the blues you have above.  I wonder if Austrians would like tints of white & warmish greys?

I found most of what I was looking for, but can you tell me where to find the unit pictures seen in the attachment?

Spec10 I think they look great.  A great harmony of colours and tones.

I want to ask where I learn to modify the colours like that.  Any 'modding 101' guides anywhere you know?

Basically it all comes down to learning how to use software like Photoshop or the free alternative GIMP. The three most important skills in modifying game content are:

- Find the files that contain the things you want to modify, in this case Those are the files included in the download of my mod
- Find out how to open and save them, in this case you'll need a plugin that will let you open and save .dds files, like this one for Photoshop
- How to use Photoshop, GIMP, etc. to manipulate graphic files, like changing color, changing backgrounds, changing ... everything :D That's the one skill that may need the most training. You can find thousands of good tutorials on the internet on how to achieve a certain goal in Photoshop and the like.


I know, this is not very detailed but I hope it helps you a bit :)

These unit pictures are built in real time..so they don't exist like a texture.
After sending the Edition Napoleon and Grognard, I am going to write a manual for the Mods.
I think it's a big piece... and will need several weeks to finish it (I'll not work at 100% on this Mods' Guide)
So, the best is to build a list of priorities... Could you begin it. THX

I love it but how can I make the Allies keep their green color?
