Allied Beta sidebar

Mig Eater · Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 5:07 pm Post subject: Allied Beta sidebar

Allied sidebar based on Dan Lyons concept art, which nearly made it into the game but he missed the production deadline...

The layout needed to be heavily edited to fit the one used in the game;

The radar screen was too small.
There are no alliance and pause menu buttons.
The top/bottom of the power bars need to be moved but to make the icons tileable, I was able to keep them symmetricayl mirrored tho.
All off the buttons need to be remade from scratch to remove jpg artifacts and to simplify making on and off versions.
There is no commandbar so the original one was used.
The original allied radar anim was reused too.

Wait, the power level is on both sides? I didn't know that was possible. Looks good.

The left edge is a bit too sharp in my opinion, and the button icons are a bit pixelated. Other than that, it looks very good.

OMG You really did that? I thought that was a joke. Good job but as was mentioned above - buttons, buttons. buttons.
Are you gonna do the saoviet one too? And may be make your own yuri sidebar?

The power bar is easy to do... You just have to make the SHP of the power bars extend to a resolution that can reach across the UI and have a duplicate power bar on the other side of the SHP. Instead of the SHP being 5x2, it is 152x2. The only downside is that the player cannot put their mouse over that power bar to gather a power reading. To be able to make a true second power bar you'd need to edit the exe to do that afaik, unless Ares can add completely new UI elements.

Quick image to give you an idea of what I am saying: http://imageshack.com/a/img855/1733/vv7w.png

I started working on this with enthusiasm but by the end I just wanted to get it over with. I don't feel like working on it anymore, I probably wont be making the Soviet one any time soon too. But feel free to edit it or make your own version if you want to change the buttons.

Would anyone be able to update it to fit the Soviet button placement format and design an updated bottombar & menu buttons?

Editing it to fit the soviet layout should be simple, someone else will have to redo the command bar for you tho.

Imagine the double power bar feature in Mental Omega(with support of ARES DLL of course).I think it would be nice.

It's still allied scheme. Although adjusted to work on the Soviet Setting.

8 year bump...

I was thinking of finally making Dan Lyon's Soviet sidebar but I'm unable to find the original concept art on my computer & his website is long gone.

Wondering if anyone else saved the image & could post it here or PM it to me?

Edit: 5min later I found it with google...
