Hi all. I've finally finished my Aztec diplo interface and I personally like the result. I've fully in-game tested and everything seems ok so let me know if not. It's a big file so I had to upload in two halves.(You need both zips for the full effect)
Two things I would like opinions on are the jade up and down arrows and the jade dragon in the talk_offer screen.
Cheers!
Edit.(23/08/2005) I've added pop-up menu & border graphix.

Awesome! I'm definitely using this immediately for the GotM46...it might stay permenently. :D

My one minor gripe about tthe Celtic version was the black art under the negotiation screen. This one is grayed-out so it stays in the background and doesn't get in the way of the game text.

Good job. :goodjob:

Hmm. I had forgotten about that black diamond graphic in the celtic one. I might go back and redo that.
Thanks MeteorPunch and Rod.

I've now added pop-up menu & border graphix on the first post. Stick 'em directly into your art folder.(back-up originals first)

Are you expanding this into a true interface? :confused: :eek: That would be awesome, but difficult..

It's something I'd like to do but I'm still relatively new to this type of graphic manipulation and I feel it would take a really long time to complete. However, there's no reason I can't do it one step at a time as I work on the Aztec scenario.

I have a template that I start from. It shows me where the various text areas have to be . Then I decide on a texture for the text panels and just search endlessly for images to use and abuse to fill the surrounding areas.
I have a better version of the template at home but you can find my original one here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3007534&postcount=5).

Wow! Talk about hard to figure out lol. This is something that could use a tutorial methinks.

I'm sure you'd get it. Everything sounds complex until you've done it a couple of times. It's more tedious than anything else.
Maybe I'll do a tutorial soon. Feels a little wierd though. A month ago I hadn't posted a single piece of work yet. Now people are asking requests. I don't feel like I'm in a position to teach anything when I still have so much learning to do myself!

WOW! I've never messed with the Civ interface graphics before, but this is cool enough to do so! :thanx: Great work! Can't wait to play RoCX with this baby as the Aztecs!

Very cool...
I like the Celtic one better, but his one is alot easier to read on, and it's really neat, down to the skull box borders.
Cool.

I'm kind of new to messing around with C3C, but I have a question: Is it possible to create a different screen for each civ? What I mean is, can I set up the diplomacy screens so if you are the aztecs you use that one, but if you're the romans you would use the roman screen? Is that possible or am I just wishing?

Sorry I took so long to answer. I was away for a week.
Firstly, for the standard game you can only have one at any time. That's it! You could do it for a scenario but it wouldn't be worth the amount of effort it would take. You'd need to duplicate your biq and scenario folders for each different civ you want a diplo screen for.
