Phoenix Trial #2 - Power of Command

[Pyritie]

Because I said so.

I dunno why, it's just to make it work. Just use WC3Viewer to convert to .blp, it automatically adds the alpha channel.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Skills Preview... might redo this one. The lines are imprecise... and "shaky".

 

[Pyritie]

The lines are a bit wonky.

But I think having a shiny background like you have makes it look more like a spell than a command button. If you look at blizz's, they all have a simple black background.

 

[RED BARON]

You could make birds flying in a cirkel as patrol.... but doesnt know if you already made a patrol

He did make birds flying in a circle as patrol.... Lol XD

 

[Pyritie]

Indeed I did.

 

[RED BARON]

Hmm then I just missed it.. but I had a felling he might have done it.

Re-ask : How do we replace the actual icons with ours ingame ? (I really dont know XD)

 

[Pyritie]

Game Interface, or overwrite the paths of the regular buttons.

I'm sure they all have obvious path names such as ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMove.blp and so on.

 

[RED BARON]

Re-ask : How do we replace the actual icons with ours ingame ? (I really dont know XD)

That qustions was answeared before by both pyritie and me.... but now you got the answear again...
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\ or to the DISBTN
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\

Edit: thanks Pyritie, knew something was wrong, jsut thought it was my spelling

 

[Pyritie]

It's actually CommandButtonsDisabled, not with the Disabled in the front.

 

[Kwaliti]

Ok.... this is going way too slow. 22 more days to go.....

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

22 more days to go.....

Oh shit.

*opens up GIMP*

New skills. I'll redo/polish it if I have time.
EDIT: Attack Preview... gonna have to work on this one a lot more.

 

[Pyritie]

Hey, where'd all of our posts go?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

They backed up the data (posts and the like) and then moved it to a new server. So the posts posted AFTER the backup and before the server change was done weren't saved.

 

[Gauntlet2021]

I'm pretty much just finishing since I started at this point, it will give downloaders one more UI option. No way I'm going to rank but at least it was practice. Here's what Ive got:
___Move___Stop__HoldPosition_Attack___Patrol___Skillz__AttackGround_Cancel





Get ready peeps, as your forced to try
an entry of View attachment Gauntlets Crappy UI.zip

 

[Pyritie]

I think they're too dark - especially the patrol one. And the cancel. And the Skills.

And the stop's hand looks like crap. And the Hold Position doesn't look like a hold position, and do something else for attack ground than a simple rotate.

BTW, what is that building near the top-center of the first screenshot?

 

[Gauntlet2021]

Its a model called "Darktower" by someone on wc3sear before it went down.

 

[Pyritie]

Ah. I'll check on here, see if it managed to stay during the transfer. (Nope, can't find it :/)

But those icons definately need some work.

 

[Kwaliti]

C'MON, C'MOOOOOOOOOON!!! 19 more days!

Oh, I'll freeze myself until the polling day comes! (South Park much)

Anyway, nice work people!

[broke="Attack"]New icon![/broke]

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Looks like a direct CnP from a picture.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Looks like a direct CnP from a picture.

Not on the large one.

The black background takes a lot of space. Maybe add lots of little vines or other small "mouthes"?

 

[Pyritie]

Well, it would look realistic because I'm freaking awesome.

And I used this as a reference:

Besides, I don't want it to look too crowded.

Next two to do: Hold position and Cancel.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

A simple but subtle glow would do.

 

[Pyritie]

Well none of the others have a glow, so it would look out of place.

 

[Pyritie]

[broke="Cancel"]New icon![/broke]

 

[Gath_Stormer]

I like the smaller one better it has a good cartoony look that makes it look unique.

 

[Pyritie]

The smaller one is just to show the actual dimensions, the 512x512 is to show the more detail, if anyone's interested.

 

[Pyritie]

Sorry for double post, but it's my [broke="Hold Position"]last icon![/broke]

I will stick all of the pics together, submit the blps, and add the in-game screenshot later.

EDIT: Here are the icons, now I just have to add the ingame screenshot.

EDIT2: Here are the ingame screenshots. Before anyone asks, the UI is avaliable on wc3c. Also, most of you forgot to add the Attack ground to your screenshots.

EDIT3: I've redone the Move button, see page 19.

 

[Kwaliti]

Oh, yeah, baby! Totally getting my vote (if competitors can vote)!

 

[Herio-san]

As many of you may know, I have become very inactive due to personal issues. These icons are the result of the last 6 nights work around 2am. lemme know what you guys think.

Attack Ground

Hold Position

All my Icons so far:
(from left to right)
Move, Attack, Patrol, Hold, Attack Ground

 

[Pyritie]

Ooo nice! Shouldn't the attack ground have a green hand though?

 

[Kwaliti]

Ooo nice! Shouldn't the attack ground have a green hand though?

Hey.... you're right!

 

[Pyritie]

Okay, my entry is complete. See my above post.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Some of these aren't clear enough. I had absolutly no idea what your "stop" icon was supposed to be, since its basically just a leaf. They're nice, but not clear.

Oh and maybe the "cancel" button could be stop? It would fit.

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, but then what would cancel be? That leaf?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

A cancel sign (like the original one) made out of various twisting branches and leaves? Or something in the like anyways.

 

[Pyritie]

Nah. Then it would look too unnatural. I think it's fine the way it is.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

But a leaf really doesn't say "Move" or "Stop."

 

[Pyritie]

The pointy leaf does more. But I really didn't know what to do for stop, as Cancel already has the sticks.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The pointy leaf does more.

Whether the leaf is pointy or not, it only says "leaf".
Maybe a flying bird would be more obvious. As for stop, I have no idea.

 

[Pyritie]

Well should I keep the stop leaf or just get rid of both leaves, or...?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Well should I keep the stop leaf or just get rid of both leaves, or...?

You should try to replace them for something more obvious. And you should start with the stop.

They're very nice icons though.

 

[Herio-san]

Ooo nice! Shouldn't the attack ground have a green hand though?

I could change it. Its actually supposed to be the same character that is in attack who is wearing the brown gloves. I'll come back to it if i get the chance. In the meantime...

Cancel

<-- 128 x 128

<-- 64 x 64

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Bird slamming into a tree.

 

[Pyritie]

Well, I don't want too many birds...

I'll think about doing the bird flying for move, but Chriz's idea is just plain silly.

 

[RED BARON]

But it would look funny
Edit: I absolutly cant read...

 

[Pyritie]

Read that post. It's a UI made by unwirklich on wc3c.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Silly is good.
