Interface For Item System

Hey there once again!

I have been making my campaign for almost a year now. I have already released 12 alpha tests from it. And the campaign soon starts to be in beta stage. However, before beta I want to have an awesome item system for the campaign. Almost all testers have said to me that there are too less item space(almost 500 items at the campaign). That is why I want this.

So, the system is almost finished, but it does not have a "skin" or an "interface". That is why I'm here. I'm requesting you to make one. Here are some details about the system and the system is attached to the post.

The system is made by Flame_Phoenix and it's called "CBS". Here is a quote from Flame_Phoenix about the system.

Unlike other bag systems, CBS uses an unique way of creating the interface. While other systems use dummy models and units to create backgrounds and borders, thus making the system harder to import, my system, CBS, uses a cinematic filter.

Cinematic filters are easy to do and easy to change if you know some basics.
Now thing is, I am mainly a programmer, and so my designing skills are not the best. Aeroblyctos (leader of the campaign) asked for a better interface, however I don't think I can do much better.
Therefore if you have experience in skinning and in cinematic filters, this thread is just for you:
- We need an interface for CBS

Here is then some details about the system itself.

The interface also needs to have alpha channels in specific places.

This is the current filter being used. The red areas represent the alpha channel, areas that must be wholes in the filter.
Although it looks nice in 512x512 format, in game it gets unfocused and looks like this:

If you are an experienced skinner or know how to make filters, than this should not be hard to do for you.
Now the image represents what we want, but we want it with more quality, a lot more.
I would also like to add borders. Human borders around the alpha channels, just like in the image:

If you manage to create the interface, you will have more rep from me and from Aeroblyctos and you will have credits on the system.
Please if some one is able to do this, I would appreciate a lot.

If you can do this, I will surely give you huge credits at the campaign and also rep in here. This is very important for the campaign and I really hope you can do this. Please, do ask question if needed, I or Flame_Phoenix will answer.

i dont quite understand what you need, i understand that u have a system that can hold more than 6 items but what do u need? the backpack toolbar to be designed? i would love to help you

Hmm... I'm not exactly sure myself. I just want this system. I say Flame_Phoenix to ask to your question. Thanks for asking!

Please look at the second quote:

What I need, is a cinematic filter that could be the interface of the system. But with quality.
Please explain your idea of "bagpack toolbar", maybe we are saying the same thing without knowing.

well what i was thinking was something along the line of the inventory slots (with six spaces) and u had somhow added more slots and u wanted the background for the slots to be changed so that it had a background that supported X slots. but now uv said that and i look more carefull i think i was completely wrong i can do skins (quite well) but without detailed instructions of what to change and detailed description of the outcome u want and the texture file in tga or jpg format to do anything.

So, it means you can't help us ??
You have all information you need, if you need to know anything else, just tell us and we give.
We really need some help, that's why we are posting.
Can't you try at least ?

I got an add-on to my WC3 wich allows me 24 extra inventory slots ONLY in campaigns, Blizzard campaigns... I don't remember exactly the files it uses or the URL:(


It adds a kind of multiboard DOWN the screen, on the inventory button. pressing it makes a multiboard with interface trackables, not game trackables. That system helped me win the campaigns XD. Search on google for it and see.

I don't think that's what we want, neither what we need ... Just for the sound of it, my system looks a lot better, it can hold up to 60 items...
At least you could give us a name...

Please let me see the system a bit, it sounds interesting :O

Ok, here is the system:
CBS - Complex Bag System - Wc3campaigns

After seeing your demo, I dont understand why you use cinematic filters? The quality is horrible, and it increase the size alot. Using models as the layout would increase the quality alot, and decrease the size alot.

Using trackable would also be a [+]. Just too bad that we cant delete trackables again

Actually the map size is big because I have 2 interfaces in it with 95% quality.
I really should remove one. Filters are easier to import, that's the main reason I am using them. Besides I don't have any model makers to make models for the system...

The quality is too bad. It really look horrible. A model isnt that harder to import than a skin. You only need to create one destructble.

But I think you shall download Gmax, and the dex script, and create the whole system with models. It isnt that hard to learn, since you only need to create planes.

It is because the quality is not so good that I am requesting for help.
Besides, I never made skins nor models before, I am really lost with this ... I also don't know how to use a background model, it just covers everything else, even things it shouldn't cover.
Anyway, can you give me a link to the tool you are referring and indicate me some tutorial on tracktables or models as well ?

Gmax is a light and free version of 3dsMax. Search after it on google.

Both the Hive and wc3campaigns have tutorials about how to model. So I suggest you to look there.

Here is a tutorial how to use trackable
