Naga UI Console

Interceptor · Mar 12, 2009

OK, finally I did something with my favorite race.
This is the 2nd version of my UI:

Changelog:
♦ Removed obelisks from top
♦ Removed low resolution plants from hero portrait
♦ Added no-inventory window (NagaUITile-InventoryCover.tga)
♦ Darken the inventory window

l0git3c · Mar 12, 2009

wow, looks nice :O

adds some grass to make it better i think

M4stah · Mar 12, 2009

That. Is. Awesome. If you make a complete Naga map add this and it will rock dude.

awesome use of blizzard's textures

D a w n · Mar 12, 2009

this is a really nice cnp

Interceptor · Mar 13, 2009

There is no problem with CnP as long as it is over 75% modified. Well, these textures were in random rocks/plants/doodads and there is almost nothing left from the original UI so I deem my work as not "just copied". Second, I haven't used the whole textures and only parts of them. Third, most models uploaded in the Hive are either Blizzard's model with attachments or a combination between 2 blizzard's models.
I think there is no problem with these copy/pastements.

Mr.Goblin · Mar 13, 2009

you just totaly owned the hive's rule ...gratz

but anyway, let's say if your not happy with the rules (because we need them) you can send a p.m to one of the top leaders... and for shure you will be listened.

good luck with that

again totaly awesome the CnP (joke)

Super-Sheep · Mar 13, 2009

Im working on a mini aos that is on Sunken Ruins tileset so this would be awesome for it.

X.e.r.e.X · Mar 13, 2009

I have nothing against CnP UIs if they look as good as this

Nichita_00 · Mar 13, 2009

Woah dude... That is.. wicked sick...
Very cool, I love it. It looks genuinely blizz.

Linaze · Mar 13, 2009

Looks really good, even though I get a horizontal scrollbar!

Interceptor · Mar 13, 2009

Thank you, yeah sorry about the scrollbar but since it is hosted by imageshack and UI must be 1600 x 512... that's what it is :|

bounty hunter2 · Mar 13, 2009

Look good. Attach to the post? The image.

Obviously you haven't read the skin submission rules properly, if that's where you're getting your information.

Though I do agree. Very nice use of copy and paste, aside from those horrid pillars you used at the top of the image and that extremely low-res vine.

Elfsilver Lord · Mar 14, 2009

To me, it looks like to much CnP.

Bob27 · Mar 14, 2009

It looks really nice, but like Hawkwing said the pillar texture you used at the top of the UI just looks horrible. It would look a lot better if you used another texture for that bit of the UI.

Interceptor · Mar 14, 2009

OK, I will change it.

Sabertooth · Mar 15, 2009

Yea, just fix the pillar.
But this is sick, very nice job.

Maybe try using the sides of those cylindrical green pillars, that'd look a lot better.

Ironside · Mar 15, 2009

I love it

syltman · Mar 15, 2009

Beutiful, I wonder if this could get approved, maybe if we're lucky they can make an exception since we need more UIs

arthas_king · Mar 15, 2009

add a torch next to the inventor D: it rocks man good job

Akolyt0r · Mar 15, 2009

the plants above the portrait-frame look ugly ...streched ..
beside that it looks quite good ..

viiva · Mar 17, 2009

It looks great

he plants and vines are a nice touch! Reminds me of my own Ruins UI

-removed due to confusion-

Interceptor · Mar 17, 2009

Yours is great too! Just pay a little more attention to sharp edges (not smooth transition between the different textures), spaces width (in control panel x=3 column) and game menu gaps (upper level left and right from the time indicator). I also noticed a missynchonisation in my UI, gotta fix that too.
Still, great job.

Luckerguy · Mar 17, 2009

banana, why there are feathers?? I thought it is a Naga UI

x5.gearbox · Mar 17, 2009

how do i get that to work in my game?

Interceptor · Mar 18, 2009

It doesn't work yet. You will have to wait until I fix it completely. Then I will eventually upload it if moderators leave me to do so.

Softmints · Mar 18, 2009

Wow, the second version is a huge improvement! The gaps for the resources don't really fit though - perhaps use hollow boxes for them like in the other UIs? Lovely clock too. Overall, it's a very useful resource though; nice job!

Update the first post with the new one?

+rep

Interceptor · Mar 18, 2009

This is not my UI

This is the other dude's one =]

Grave_Digger_ · Mar 21, 2009

Nice, i could use this for my Naga Map im making...

Just two questions, where can I dl?

When I have dl:ed, how do I make it work ingame?

~Void~ · Mar 21, 2009

I love it, especially how you used the actual naga decoration textures that are in game. It makes it fit in perfectly!

3rgytr54 · Mar 22, 2009

Fits great, but I'm not sure it will get approved. Just make something in it your own. But being that it says somewhere that creative works can be discussed,

Copy & Paste
CnP & recoloring cannot be used on the same texture (for instance, having 25% CnP & 25% recolor (50% total) wouldn't be allowed, but the total of 25% would be).
Approval
Resource moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis which skins are original or useful enough to be approved. If rejected, the moderator must detail why the submission is unacceptable.

You have a good chance if you can get a moderator to back you up.

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2009

Bah, fuck that, it's a stupid rule. I vouch for him, for all I can as a terrain mod xD

Deathcom3s · Mar 22, 2009

It's a custom UI, the Wc3 modding community is severely lacking custom UIs, so i would think they would approve it. I do.

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2009

Well it depends on who actually reviews it, lolz. Speaking of C&P from textures in the MPQs, I think it should be allowed so long as it looks good, but that goes for any skin, right? I remember I saw a nice naga catapult a while ago, I forget who made it, but it was really cool. Kim, of course, disapproved it. Nazi. >:[

Edit: Here it is, Shaman made it. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f274/naga-catapult-poll-96868/

Linaze · Mar 22, 2009

CnP should be allowed as long as it is well done and looks good, imo. Good CnP UI's like this one should definitely be approved.

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2009

My point exactly. At least in my opinion, resources are made to be useful in projects, not to show off artistic talent. So if a resource is useful, it should be approved.

Linaze · Mar 22, 2009

In one way, you could say that geomerge models are a form of modelling CnP, but those can get approved anyways, as long as they are good, so I don't see why it should be any different with 2d art.

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2009

Exactly. Let's make a petition. xD

Interceptor · Mar 22, 2009

I'm fixin fixin.
The problem is that targa format is compressed but either way this UI in targa weighs about 2 MB! I will compress it when converting to .blp but I hope the quality is not ruined in that case.

P.S. General Frank already approved it. It will get in as soon as it's finished.

Rao Dao Zao · Mar 22, 2009

I'm not sure about the obelisks are seperators on the top bar. Otherwise, very well done.

Oh wait, you fixed them on page 2.

PS: The UI on page 2 is not mine!

3rgytr54 · Mar 22, 2009

It looks.. worse to me. It truly does. Way too "clean cut," it has too many sharp edges and doesn't give that same feel. But the flowers by the mini-map to me are cheesy.

Try making the inventory area a little darker and give it shadows around the edges so it looks like it's pressed in a little bit.

Also that vine on the right could do to stretch across the top of the ability area at least 1/3 of the way. It would look cooler like that.

Interceptor · Mar 23, 2009

It looks bad when it's stretched.

Look at the 1st variant in my album and you'll see why this is better.
1) The 1st one was RoC - based. This is TFT
2) No obelisks going out of the bar
3) Removed low resolution vines from hero portrait

Besides that, I haven't added new minimap flowers, nor sharp edges... lol

Leeroy · Mar 23, 2009

That is pretty delicious. It could be completely CnP but I really don't care. We are lacking of custom UIs and I find that pretty nice. Good job, you deserve rep.

~Void~ · Mar 23, 2009

Well not stretched like stretching the image, I mean add more vines.

errorz · Mar 27, 2009

great , but how to use it???

Ninja_Duels · Mar 29, 2009

Good job...Just a little to big file to use at all

Interceptor · Mar 29, 2009

Hell yeah UI-s are very big... especially if you use them in targa format =/
