Interface

[xamaro]

Hello ! Do you know where i can dowload a interface modified :?:

 

[Mechanical Man]

In theory, map interfaces should be in skins section, but nobody makes them (even at wc3campaigns) . However, it can be found in some projects, maps and campaigns, like return of the dragons, konstrukt and acathla, but you must get the permission of the author and maybe those interfaces wouldn't be useful to you.

I'm sorry, but there are no "stand alone" interfaces, mainly because the should contain several images.

 

[xamaro]

Thank but it's difficult to do an interfac ?

 

[Kimbo]

yes it is, you have to draw the inventory buttons, half and bottom of interface, the mini windows and panels all seperately.

 

[xamaro]

Can someone give me a map with a interface modified please ? The link of "the return of the dragon" is broken

 

[Mechanical Man]

What's your map about? Importing custom interface makes sense only if the theme of the interface and your map matches.

Don't let Werewulf scare you, lol the interfaces aren't THAT hard to make, whether it be a simple colour change, or say you are actually pasting in images, I don't know but it isn't that hard. (Unless you REALLY ARE MODIFYING it heavily like completely redesigning it by like drawing new inventory squares then yes that could take a lot of time).

 

[xamaro]

Ok , my map is a footmen so if you have some ideas , repost please

have you ever attempted to make one?

no?
then stfu.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Then, I don't think you you need a new interface. Footmen are multiplayer map and its size must be reduced to minimum. It is nothing more annoying that waiting 10 min to download the map.

 

[Eggie Poo Poo]

Of course Wulfy I have made many, but why are you so angry at me again? Did I offend you?

 

[Kimbo]

ooohh...wow....sure you have..pfft..

and i aint fucking angry at specifically you..well abit..

 

[xamaro]

Hi ! I have create my first interface modified and there is many problems

 

[Kimbo]

dude..you havnt...done all of it..

and...someones eyes are gonna bleed with they play with that...plus...that would take so much frickin space..

 

[abriko]

Humm.. dont make a such thing for a multiplayer map.. it's a big part of the map weight that people will have to download.
If you make a real new and pretty skin ( that doesn't hurt players eyes ), it can be ok. But if player see that they waste time to download this..

See mine for a single player map that i'll not import in my multiplayer map project :

 

[xamaro]

Can you help me for making another interface modified please

First, you have to learn Drawing. You'll not be able to do something nice before it. Some mappers do cnp but if you dont have some graphic abilities, it will result a bad job.
Second, you have to take time to do it. How much did you take for this one ? 15mn in photoshop ( i dont talk about import, cut, saving etc )? All good works take a lot of time. My custom console is the second version and take more than 6 hours to do it. There is no secret.

 

[xamaro]

I know but i don't have photoshop ^^

 

[abriko]

Photoshop or an good other image editor...it's not important.
If you don't have anything to edit image very well, you have to condiser "found and install photoshop" as your first step before what you can't start anything.

 

[xamaro]

I have photofiltre it's a good image editor

 

[VampireKB]

i thought about "Corel Draw" as the best image maker...am i wrong?

 

[Kimbo]

dudes..even you you have the best program in the world that dont mean you can create master peices ot true works of art.

paintshop pro, photoshop, coral painter and OC the are the top visual art programs.

 

[abriko]

Sure... but an artist starts to learn drawing by get a pencil. So the Step 0 of skinning is get a good tool. Step 1, learn drawing and graphic technics.
Step 2 ... you'll see after Step 0 and 1.

 

[xamaro]

yes step by step ^^

It is much easier to draw with a pencil than with mouse.

 

[PurplePoot]

Which is why you buy a tablet if you're serious about computer graphics.

 

[Kimbo]

i dont have a graphics tablet...

grrr...

Tablet or not, all real artists start by the drawing with the pencil and paper and scan it to color it.
It's possible to have a real perspective/proportion vision with a tablet.
