EDIT: the download for the beta version can be found here (http://www.mediafire.com/?ycftmcns9sx).

Do you mean, like, a full interface?
-
You know, briefing/debriefing screens, tech room screens, that sort of stuff. Doesn't have to be much, just without GTVA logos everywhere.
And while I'm at it: Does anyone have a main hall without GTVA logo? Except for the FS1 ones?

Well there's the INFA one, but that has a Callisto bomber in it.
-
And Inferno R1 doesn't, but it has the Gargant in it.
Blue Planet's main hall doesn't have a GTVA logo if I recall correctly, but it wouldn't really suit NTF in my opinion.

Where did the BP one come from, anyway? Did Darius make it?
-
Well, the main hall is only secondary. What about the interface?
-
Well, why don't you wait for Flaming_Sword's interface templates? You will be able to easily make any interface you want.
-
:bump: Just an idea, tell me how you like it.
If I continue with this concept, I could use some better pics of the Orion. Does anyone have any?

-
Why are there pictures of Orions? Is the logo alone too boring?
-
i think you should get rid of the orions and spoof up that logo
-
Yeah, there are much, much better NTF logos about the place. I Think GE has one.
-
lol, you used the DEM NTF logo...
-
Freakin sweet, If someone makes a ful-blown NTF replacement. I can get rid of the GTVA and get some good old fashioned pure humey funk on.
-
Templates (beta) coming out soon. :D
You supply the backgrounds and the HSV values of the desired colour for buttons, batch file handles pretty much all the rest through imagemagick commands.

I don't like it without Orions, and I don't know what else to use to fill the empty space. Any ideas?

Texture baked, bumpy greebles? :nod:
-
I can see big black rectangles obscuring the background behind the logo.
-
Someone point me towards the source files and i'll smoochify it into something viable.. :nod:

How about using GE's NTF logo instead of the DEM one?
-
Would trapeziums do the trick of making the interface look less empty? :nervous:
-
How about a text heading, like "News Briefing" or "Propaganda of the Day"?
You could move the NTF logo down to just above the commit button and below the CB text to differentiate it from the GTVA one.

Where is it? I'll use it if I find it.
@WMCoolmon: That's not a bad idea, actually... Got to think about that...
-
:bump: No, this is not dead. But I'm moving abroad, so RL is keeping me quite busy nowadays.
Meanwhile, I've decided to go with WMC's idea (unless someone has a really good idea). I'd like to hear ideas on font / style / colour and text for the following interface screens:- Campaign selection
- ChoosePilot
- CommandBrief
- F1 (what is this for? If it's for multiplayer, I'll drop it)
- HotKeys
- LoadMission
- OptionsDetail
- OptionsMain
- TechData
- TechShipData
If I forgot any (other than the loading screen and the red-alert, that's deliberate), please tell me.
-
Stick to the normal BankGothic Md BT font, but make it soil-like in colour.
-
Like this?

I can see there is a black thing around the words, and the NTF logo is still crap.
-
Like this?
That's pretty close. :yes:
However, my bar for this kind of thing is pretty low. :nervous:
-
Make the text more fancy...right now it's the only flat-looking thing on that screen. A little loving with plugins could go a long away. :D
-
Just change the logo and remove the black bits around the text and I'll be happeh.
-
I've got this covered... sent FSFreak some stuff to composite in with FlamingSword's templates.

Current project: WHARRGARBL
:lol:
That NTF logo is a bit toooo stretched for my liking. But i dont see why it wouldn't work.
-

:lol:
see here. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,55076.msg1128693.html#msg1128693)
It's stretched 'cause it's supposed to be winged like the GTVA/GTA logos on the interface.
-
What's weird is i posted directly beneath that one...yet didn't notice the reference. :shaking:
-
Should I recolour the interface?
[attachment deleted by ninja]
-
The foreground color doesn't go with the blue background. But :yes:
-
That background would be well for a FS2 interface recolour to FS1.
-

They where screenshots from cutscenes in the strategy game Supreme Commander. Darius also took the .ani heads from that game.

Put the wings on the NTF logo on an equal plane. It looks a bit weird at its current state.
I have no problems with the interface. Blue and yellow are the primary colours of the NTF logo.
-

I've been working on that. I'm looking for retail compatibility so there's a few kinks to be worked out, but it's coming soon. :)
-
Just have them in PCX and they'd be retail compatible. Flaming_Sword's templates could do that, except for the selected button glows.
But I'm expecting to see your version :yes: :)
-
Ah, but for retail we also need top-down views of the ships with brackets for the weapon loadouts. Ship and weapon ANIs are coming down the pipeline now.
-
Right, seems like I can't get ImageMagick installed over here. Do you mind if I don't recolour everything?

You know, if there were two interface reskins, one for the Humanists and one for the Zods. They could have their own folder and mod.ini referring to mediavps and then it would be easy for people to switch. :D
-
Time to :bump: this again... I got a beta version ready, right here (http://www.mediafire.com/?ycftmcns9sx) on MediaFire.
Known issues:
- The Command Briefing screen doesn't show up. An earlier version (the one with the Orions) worked, but somehow this one doesn't. Any ideas?
- I deliberately didn't do the red-alert briefing screen yet, it's going to be something special.
- The loading screen I included will not show up if you don't activate it in FRED, because it has nothing to do with the NTF.
EDIT: Fixed these in the gamma, which isn't released yet :D Loading and red-alert screen are included. Also, I will use the Bastion mainhall.
- I didn't do multiplayer or low-res screens (AFAIK), because they're kinda unnecessary.
-

IMO different interfaces should be set via FRED, like the mainhall.
Great work FreeSpaceFreak :yes:
-
mmf. I still think it should be recolored from Ghastly GTVA Green to Patriotic NTF Gold. With the FS1 blue in the background.

/me agrees.

Perhaps somebody with IM could do it some day. As for now, just keep in mind that the NTF are Terrans too, so they're probably not that different from the GTVA :p
Any ideas about the Command Briefing screen? Or does it work fine with you guys?
