Tan Interface for Civ4

[Colonel Kraken]

Great work, Gogf!

I've been using this, and it's much nicer than the Windows blue color. It blends in very well. Thanks!

The files were:

Civ4Theme_Common.thm (205)
Civ4Theme_HUD.thm (170, 207,244, 281, 318, 355)
Civ4Theme_Custom.thm (1129, 1163, 1197,1985, 2047, 2082, 2110)

Just change "HudBG" to "BG" in the second and third files on the lines listed and you'll be set. Having the additional line of text in your first one won't have any effect on the game if it isn't referenced anywhere, but you can remove it if you wish.

I deleted the files . I tried running the game without them and got an interesting windows 2k look, sadly the gui didn´t work and I coudnt see the rest of the game.

I already reinstalled since the files are in a huge .cab file it´s impossible to extract them individually.

IMO, there is one thing that could use some improvement, changing the blue border around the unit action icons.

 

[Xanthra]

Waaaay better, looks good thanks.

Is there any way to modify this HUD so it's opaque rather than semi-transparent? I'm sure that would speed up the game somewhat.

Hmmm.. Or, if the interface was transparent (completely) while it wasn't displaying a unit's or cities' information, then the interface wouldn't be so much an obstruction. Right now, it hides away the lower part of the map even when it isn't displaying anything.

Even if I use ctrl-i to minimize the interface, it resets itself anytime I go to the city screen and exit.

Blah.

It's really good! It reminds Civ3 interface bit.

Is it possible for it to automaticaly take on the color of your Civ? Perhaps a python script that sets it at game start?

At the moment we only know how to have one HUD installed on your computer once, so unfortunately not.

Great, somehow gives a WWI feeling, I might put it in the next release of War of the Trenches!

 

[Gamesmaster]

Has this been updated for v1.52?

 

[Wallabulla]

thanks alot for this one, looks much nicer. Works fine with v1.52

I looked at the two files (modified for tan look) v (standard v1.52 version) and there are some non-tan changes. I don't have an original v1.00 file to compare the v1.52 file to but it *appears* that they deleted some items (actually commented them out) and included some comments re memory management.

So, I'm thinking, that some of the work they did on v1.52 re memory management affected this file. Yes, I expect that the tan interface adjustments would work under v1.52 but you will not get (all of) the memory management improvements. I don't know how to confirm this.
