5 different colours for your UI

toft · Aug 26, 2007

Black version
White version
Sepia version
Dark blue version
Red version

They are all made as mods, so paste the folder into your mods directory. If you have a request for another colour, plz pm me. For more info read this and this.

Some art buttons (espionage and corp) are missing. Will fix it when... I find out how to.... :shake:

looks good. I never tried one of these before, i think i'll try yours.

Some screenshots for each one of them will be appreciated.

Screenshots added in the download section now

Excellent, i'm downloading the Red one now.

(another idea for one would be silver or some kind of metalic color)

I think you don't know the civscale programm made by Coldfever. with this you not only can change the color but also choose between 2 fonts and scale a lot of objects in the game.

Just took a look at it, and its changing your original files. You wouldnt know of how to add .dds files instead of the base RGB value - would you? That would be cool.

Osymandias · Aug 27, 2007

Yeah it changes original files, but just the scalings and not the UI style. So if you play pbems or the game of the month, you have to restore the scaling. If i remember correctly. But nethertheless, it would still be just 1 click. Ok, 3: Open - Restore - Close

No, sorry. But it would be great

I NEED Solid black!!!

You know the drill toft...

I've read that you had this problem too.

I tried to add the red version to my BTS Mod, but I have this error (just like you had)...
Did you find how to fix it ?

If you copy my mod into your mod directory, then you have to change the paths from "UIred\" to "<yourmod>\". Dont know if you already did that?

No It's not done. Where are those "paths" defined ? In the XML file ?

I actually think all you need to change is inside this file: <your mod name>\Resource\Civ4.thm.

from
Mods/UIred/Resource
to
Mods/<your mod name>/Resource

from
Mods/UIred/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm
to
Mods/<your mod name>/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm

Thank you very much !!
I had never tried to open those "thm" files with a text editor !!!
It's modified, ready to test.

amazing to see that after all this time, my initial groundbreaking work in this development area is still being credited to me!

I did some poking around, and I'm sad to see that scaleform doesn't seem to have come through with their promise of releasing an end-user guide to their UI package.

As a bit of an update to where I've been and why my work ultimately stopped... I joined the US Air Force and have been in training for quite some time. I will soon be stationed in Okinawa, where I will possibly have some free time again to work on this type of stuff. I am eager to see if some of my age-old ideas may still spring to life, such as the era-specific HUD designs I was last working on (I seem to recall them being possible, but a lot of work... and I needed to continue to disassemble the meanings in the theme files so I could build a better vocabulary to work with)

Hmm... I just the tried them. Which Mod-folder did you place the mod in? They seem ok to me.

Forgot you have to edit the "CIV4ArtDefines_Misc.xml" to the correct path too

I placed the resource folder next to the asset folder and placed the artdefineMisc in the XML art folder.
