Andrew: No, I took the lions from a heraldry program I have. It was almost midnight when I made it, and I only made it over about 20 minutes. If I had spent more time with it, I would have searched for some better heraldic lions.

:P

I can change those coats of arms, if you want...

Cyborg · August 18, 2003

Can you make the title more readable?

Jack Leaf · August 19, 2003

I will try, and don't ask, where I got those lions... :D

Vanguard3000 · August 19, 2003

Hmm... I looked at mine again, and I realized that it blows. it's nothing like what I had planned. I'm redoing it.

Jack Leaf · August 21, 2003

Readable text and golden lions! Wow!

And again, don't ask, where I got those lions... :D[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Frodo · August 22, 2003

here's my first draft :). i need to work on the text and the background a bit more though, and i should have another one done soon...[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Is there any limit on how big (in terms of file size) it can be? I may have a few ideas.

Cyborg · August 22, 2003

Frodo, your main menu idea was very good.

The colours are very nice together.

But I'm afraid most of you misinterpreted when asked about making the interface.

We need people to design things like buttons and the like.

You will need to draw them in a picture file, and possibly program them in the ini file.

Inoculator9 · August 24, 2003

Yeah Frodo, your's is the best so far I think. I'd still kind of like a background image of Kaitan though. And Cyborg is correct, we will eventually need actual buttons and interface controls. This is a good start though.

Damnit, why won't this post?

Edit: I tried numerous times to post a mesage with this same, zipped attachment, and I got bored of typing out the message it, copying it to the clipbboard, and the computer crashing. So now it's finally here, my idea is to have a single background texture of broadly one colour (like this undulating dark grey) behind everything - which is used as a texture for all buttons and UI devices, except that single lines (or button pictures that are mostly transparent) are used to show the buttons, scroll bars and so on. The effect looks simple, but clean.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Damnit, why won't this post?

If you are wondering why you can not show the pic in your thread(preview) it is because it is zipped. Or maybe because it is .bmp (but .bmp may only be a problem with signatures)

bmps are not allowed to be posted as atachments

bah ......heres mine [attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Jack Leaf · August 26, 2003

Hmm... Dragon? Not very Duneish. Expect if it's meant to be Heraldical (Dragon means bravenes in Heraldica).

playerap · August 26, 2003

exsactually ! :D

Inoculator9 · August 26, 2003

Yeah Nema, yours is more what we wanted. But a note: for the mainscreen and such, we want a background image of Kaitan, with an option and menu section similar to the one encountered in Dune2000. If you could create such an image for viewing purposes alone Nema, I would be very grateful.

Andrew · August 26, 2003

Inoculator9 are you wanting the backround pic from the miniseries, or an original made up one?

Also Inoculator9 your avatar is not working :O

Inoculator9 · August 26, 2003

We want the one from the miniseries, and you can find one on FED2K's Miniseries section in Special Effects or something.

And I was experimenting with my Landsraad Avatar, which didn't work ;)

Andrew · August 26, 2003

Well I can get countless images of the one from the miniseries, in daytime and at night(around sunset[?]).

How many and what should I do? .bmp or .jpg? (if .bmp are 1 mb, then it will be .jpg, until 10 or so days from now.)

Congrats on Landsraad status.

Cyborg · August 27, 2003

I don't know if it's only me thinking like this, but I want everything in this game made by the creators.

This means nothing can be ripped from other things.

It looks way more professional this way.

Andrew · August 27, 2003

That's what I thought, as then someone can not come along and say you can not use this and that and legal crap.

Originality is good.

nemafakei · August 27, 2003

I'll look for a relevant image, and stick a UI onto it to give you an example, then: D2k was exactly what I had in mind for the main menu.

nemafakei · August 28, 2003

Here's an example. Excuse the vegetation, and don't try to zoom in on the menu - the jpeg compression is a pain concerning details...[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Cyborg · August 28, 2003

May I ask how you made(or acquired) that background picture, Nema?
