Aztec Diplomacy Interface

[Traianus]

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.

Here are the screenies!

hello,

it is definitivly amazing !!!

 

[MeteorPunch]

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

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.

 

[Traianus]

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

Like I've said before (in the preview thread) - these are just amazing

 

[Kyriakos]

this is very nice

 

[Traianus]

Wow! tnx, you guys. You are two of the best IMO so that means a lot to me.

 

[Traianus]

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? That would be awesome, but difficult..

 

[Traianus]

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.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Tell me Tri...how did you do this? I must know..

 

[Traianus]

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.

Wonderful! I'll add it to the mesoamerican conquest!

 

[Traianus]

Woo-hoo! Thanks.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

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

 

[Traianus]

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!

 

[SilverKnight]

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

[Nate1976]

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.
