Coming back to DW after a long break and your mod was a nice surprise. Well done for sure, digging the blue one. Any thoughts on doing the in-game message windows as well?



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.2 (27 May 2014) (6/4/2014 6:37:41 PM)

I guess they are part of the UI so I should look at the message icons. Got a lot of work on at the moment so it may be a bit of time before I can tackle these.



AstroCat -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.2 (27 May 2014) (6/4/2014 9:58:51 PM)

Thanks, I think they would really round out your really cool UI! :)



TheRevanchist -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.2 (27 May 2014) (6/4/2014 11:11:34 PM)

Hi Das, your mod is awesome and so is your youtube channel. I learned a lot about DW watching your walkthroughs [&o]
I made a Mod based on Star Wars and I used your chrome mod in it. I gave you credits of course.
It's on Strategy Informer right now, but since I can't post links on the forum until I reach 10 posts and wait 7 days after that, I can't post it here.
Anyway, thank you for your awesome mods and videos! [:)]



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.2 (27 May 2014) (6/4/2014 11:18:44 PM)

I saw your mod there. :) I haven't had a chance to really look at it in detail yet but it looks like you changed the star names and everything. Looks great. :)



TheRevanchist -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.2 (27 May 2014) (6/4/2014 11:56:59 PM)

Thank you very much [:)] I will add more things to it in the future.



LeFoureur -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 1:35:59 AM)

Thank !



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 6:41:44 AM)

Every time I think I'm done I find there is another set to make. Version 1.4 has the message images to match the rest of the UI.



eormur -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 7:26:59 AM)

Keep up the great work.



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 9:00:54 AM)

Just had to change the research icon (it didn't fit properly) so new version is 1.4a.



AstroCat -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 11:12:32 AM)

Thanks for the update! :)



Yskonyn -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 5:58:31 PM)

Again outstanding work, Das. Definite must-have as far as I am concerned!



DevildogFF -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/5/2014 7:03:33 PM)

Das, you're killing it, man! THIS IS FANTASTIC!



hyme -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/6/2014 5:27:20 AM)

Where is the download link?



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/6/2014 5:45:28 AM)

At the bottom of the OP there is a link that says 'Attachment'. Just click on that and you can download.




necaradan666 -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/6/2014 7:31:28 AM)

the planet rebellion message image looks a little bad with the edges showing, perhaps reducing the glow surrounding the planet will help it blend in?

DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods (6/9/2014 2:25:33 AM)

Made some very minor changes to the messages icons so current version is now 1.4b.

The colony gain and colony loss icons shouldn't crop through the glow.

The attack icon has been made more generic with crossed swords rather than a ship being attacked. This icon is used for all attacks.



mxmissile -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/9/2014 3:04:15 PM)

Can you please host the screen shots somewhere else besides photobucket? They are not working anymore.

Mansen -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/9/2014 3:06:47 PM)

Day one favourite - The blue variant hasn't left my theme folder since I tried it out :)



judahpeter -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/9/2014 3:21:58 PM)

Thanks for your all your hard work



Locarnus -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/9/2014 4:15:10 PM)

I suggest moving your pictures to imgur (no registration, reddit favorite, so it can handle volume), photobucket seems a bit, well, special ;-).



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/9/2014 6:37:30 PM)

Yes. Photobucket has become untenable. I've been looking into where I should go and Imgur looks to be the best option.



necaradan666 -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/10/2014 7:11:05 PM)

The other day I noticed a little graphical anomaly with the awesome resource icons Das made, they look kinda messy in the Expansion Planner... after that I noticed them every time I played the game until I started to go nuts. So I ended up fixing them.

[image]http://i.imgur.com/Cd3Mgnq.jpg[/image] [image]http://imgur.com/H6m9zLH.jpg[/image]

Looking at them closer they all seemed to be random sizes around 94-98 pixels each way so I spent some time making them all 96x96 assuming if they were the same size they'd all scale the same amount ingame. It Worked.

One thing though, to get through it quickly I just ended up making each icon centered in it's background so some look a little different because they were less than symmetrical e.g. aquasian incense you can see in the screenshot. It doesn't bother me but Das might have had them the way he liked them. I also cleaned up a bunch of red/blue/transparent lines on many of the icons, not sure if they were suppose to be there but I didn't see they made any difference and they looked a little wrong.

Tanaka -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/10/2014 7:21:00 PM)

This is great thanks! You actually fixed what Sirian explains as a problem in his own mod!

Hi! Good mod, but i have one question. When research finished we have massage and in window show small image researched technology, this image have bad quality, how fix this bad bug?

[image]http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag273/dimarakovych/Research_zps7afa2783.jpg[/image]


This is because the component images are sized 32x32 pixels. When these small images get enlarged the quality suffers. As I explained in the first post, the decision to do the component image set in 32x32 pixels and not 64x64 - which would be easier since the EVE icons are of this size - was the fact that in the Legends expansion, when I made the mod, the images got enlaged by a fixed rate regardless of their resolution in this very message window shown above leading to a completly unreadable message. I do not know if these images still get enlarged at a fixed rate for this window, but I might try it out. Some day.

Fixing this bug would mean having to do a completly new series in 64x64 pixels resolution.

Regards, Sirian





DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/10/2014 9:50:19 PM)

Thanks for pointing out the changing pixel size. That is very easy for me to fix. In Illustrator I'd made the slices all 96px square but something must have upset them somewhere. When I make the next version I'll correct this.



necaradan666 -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/11/2014 1:19:51 AM)

I already fixed them, that link is a download. You can use them if you want to save yourself some trouble, unless you want to realign those few icons. There's a preview.jpg in the folder so you can see exactly what the changes look like compared to your originals.



DasTactic -> RE: Das Chrome UI Mods 1.4 (9 June 2014) (6/11/2014 5:55:18 PM)

I'd already been re-working them. I was finding the backgrounds a little strong and I wanted to add some shading to them. I was going to add these when they were done. :)

Fixing them in Illustrator was literally as easy as selecting the slices layer and clicking 'Align to Pixel Grid'. Job done.

It was very timely though to know about this issue. :)

Here's a sneak-peek. Old on the left, new on the right...
