i tried that one aswell. looks nice. but 2 things stumped me..

isnt is maybe abit too much info at the bottom? (mayb cld get abit confused with all the numbers).

i dont have the skill to make new letters look the same as the other ones.

and also, dont you think the interface looks abit cut off with the hp/mp bar that far to the left? maybe its just me trying to copy the mir3 interface too much.


i kno im being picky about this. but the interface always annoys me, so want to get it perfect.

I don't believe it's too much info
I don't believe it looks cut off with the health and mana over on the left
Do you not know any one who is good with graphics who can help you with letters?

i think i wanna have somethin like a logo at the bottom left. maybe a moving graphic.

edit: whilst im here posting. the button second from the right (looks like a scroll) i currently have no use for it. any ideas.

the buttons are..

char/bag/magic/trade/guild/map/NOTHING/options

if got alot of buttons left to add on there, such as lover,email system,belt. but im not sure where to put em. was thinking in the options menu.

Right yeh, wack an animation there if you can or a decent logo.

Still wreckon put in stuff like Time n Date - Gold - Day/Nite - Coods or somin..

For that scroll, maybe a notes page? Or a page that displays current active quests?

i was thinking that. but tbh i have no idea how to code it so it opens an npc script on the click of a button. will have to figure that out.

ye ill put time/date, and the day/night in a few of those boxes. will get that done soon and report back.

can you not make it so that section where you are thinking of a logo of sorts make it so that it reads from a file that server owners could place an image thereselves there server related

the spare button/icon (bear in mind, i donk know about coding) is it possible to make a pickup button, so that if you click it, it picks up all items, in a 4*4 range around you, or until you bag is full?

thats possible. but i wldnt want that for one of the main button on the screen. wld just put that in a shortcut key.

and the logo idea, it wld b a logo just from inside the wil anyway, so server owners cld replace the image anyway. (unless you meant server side)

its nearly done tbh. only main thing left to do is the magic window. as i have no idea how that shld b done.

apart from that, its just alot of paint editing to make all the windows match.

im getting bored of mir again, as i always do when i work on it alot. so ill be haulting things for a while. heres my exe and interface files for you, so you can test it out see what you think of it in game.

remember this is not finished at all, and cant really be used in a live server at its current state.

points to note:
char bag X is located just left of the character name (not been bothered to alter)
npc X is located top right corner still
since i have just updated the gui, the stats at the bottom are totally messed up.
the magic window is a mess.
making a chatacter might be hard work. but im sure you can do it :P

again, this is simply for you guys to test and try out to see what you think. and so you dont think im leaving this project completely without giving you anything. i will continue with this project shortly, just need a break from mir again.

please dont give me bad feeback on the things i already know. i know its a mess atm.

the interface file needs to go in data/custom/
and you will need to copy your hum file into data/custom/ and rename it hum+.wil and hum+.wix

anyway. here it is. enjoy. feedback please.

eventually it will all be mir3 style. obviously because i cant be bothered to recode things like the trade window, ill just edit the window to bit the mir2 style.

ps. i forgot to mention this client will only work on the svn files (i think, not tested). since td changed his encryption.

oh, change the sound folder to /wav, that might be it lol

yeah the gui+ needs to be named that, and in custom like i said. you need the latest svn off the svn site, fully updated up to revision 599, or i doubt the client will work.

if that doesnt work. try changing config.ini to mir.ini (though i dont think i eva changed it back).

keepy posting back to see if these work. as its annoying me also, was hoping ppl wld b able to use it straight away, guess i edited my client alittle too much.
