deanco Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 For those of you using my 'Grog' style interface, I have posted a small patch which addresses some visibility problems some people reported concerning certain icons. The details are on my website : http://combatmission.ifrance.com/ I've also redone the site and broken it up over several pages, so it's more surfer friendly. Sidebar, the whole works. Swing on by and check it out! DeanCo-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanco Posted October 10, 2000 Author Share Posted October 10, 2000 russellmz, In the words of Microsoft, that's a feature, not a bug. Actually, I woulda had to do a massive reformat to the chunks of pages to make them look good in 640x480 in the main text area, so I decided to leave them that way. Yeah, it was easier.

Colin Posted October 10, 2000 Share Posted October 10, 2000 I have the same problem in Netscape 4.75 on the Macintosh. It's annoying. I'm also wondering which style of interface everyone likes and why. I'm using the Health Bar version and I just installed the Grog version but haven't tried it yet. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

Blackhorse Posted October 10, 2000 Share Posted October 10, 2000 Great work Dean. I love it. You even fixed my only gripe with the interface (you brightened up the eliminated) It seems I have more and more of those these days thanks to Wesreidau, Tankdawg, Fionn, and Wittmann.

Maximus Posted October 10, 2000 Share Posted October 10, 2000 I've modified the "casualty" icon from a red cross to a skull and crossbones. Looks pretty cool, IMHO. ------------------ Coming soon to a web near you... The Maximus CM Mod HQ This site will be host to a plethera of mods from myself and others.

deanco Posted October 10, 2000 Author Share Posted October 10, 2000 Hi gang, Well, thanks a lot for your kind words. The funny thing is, in real life I'm a lazy bastard. I never do anything. So don't get the wrong idea, I'm not really a go get 'em kinda guy, I just like messing around with the interface, and I'm learning Photoshop at the same time. It's actually fun so I don't really have the impression of slaving away, the time just seems to go by. The fun part is seeing your work show up in the game. When it starts looking good it's very satisfying, and the fact that other people can get some use out of it is the icing on the cake. Ive noticed that some other folks are starting to tweak the interface too. I think that's great as I certainly don't have a monopoly on good ideas for improving the interface. I have another small patch coming out later today for the Grog style interface that will redo the Battle screen in the same style as the Unit screen. Now the whole game interface will have a unified feel to it. I got a turn coming in on ICQ, gotta go... DeanCo-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleRocket Posted October 12, 2000 Share Posted October 12, 2000 Deanco, your HiVis interface makes plotting moves for large numbers of troops a real pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted October 12, 2000 Author Share Posted October 12, 2000 Thanks BottleRocket. I like it when somebody thinks my interface helps them play the game better. This was 1 of the 2 main goals I had. The other was to 'dress up' the interface a bit. I don't know how this post got in front of the other one, but the Battle Screen upgrade mentioned above is finished and ready for download. Just click on the link to my site at the top of this page. Later all! DeanCo-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
