Health bars etc

Look at what I've been up to...

What I'd really like to know though is how to edit the select box of structures, it's the only thing I can't seem to figure out =p

Backwards health bars with filling for the removed health. To me that is very simple.

^^What has that to do with the question of editing the building selectionbox? Confused

Looks cartoonish with the black edges, something that would fit RA2 better.

Actually. I think it looks fine where it is. It's not that cartoonish really.

They're nice, a new thing to see being modified that isn't in some massive mod.

Any way you would drop these on this community? Someone should have a use for them.

They're not backwards.
And simple things like this can really add to the eye-candy of the game.

Heh, if you think so.

I've since edited the health bars, I've replaced the blue with a more simple black.

Blue? I thought that was gray from where I was looking at it

Something's seriously wrong with your monitor or your eyes.

No, nothing's wrong... It's just my vision really. When I looked at he health bars above, I thought I was seeing the usual health colors and a gray background against the TS stuff. My head being two feet away from the screen helps this effect on my end.

Yea, the selection boxes of structures is drawn by the engine, not really worth me looking into though really, cant do much with them...

Sure there is... could offer the option of colour and thickness, disable/enable.

i have to agree
a BuildingType.SelectionBoxColor key would be useful to make them fit with a custom interface. The white looks quite unfinished and ordinary.

That'd be super, also hence the reason I started the topic (and to show off).

Liking it. I did something really similar to your pips in an old build of Twisted Insurrection, before Lin Kuei Ominae came along and did better than me. (But who's complaining?) Razz
