ProfitUI changes for GU68

tknarr · #1 10-01-2013, 03:37 PM

GU68 has some UI changes that weren't visible on Test:

- Small changes in the persona window related to heroic characters and mercenaries being available as account features rather than part of AoD. Shouldn't be any functional problems until I get the fixes made.

- Some graphics-file changes that I need to check after work. I don't expect functional problems, but newly-introduced graphics for new buttons won't be visible. I'll have a better idea after I've been able to look at the old and new graphics files side-by-side.

Not sure if this is covered in the things you are checking but the option to upgrade characters to heroic is not available on the character select screen.

No, that option isn't available on the character select screen in the default UI. It's only available in-game or from the new character creation screen (which Profit doesn't modify).

Correction here, since I just logged in and saw it: the option is available on the character select screen, but it's in part of the screen that's not controlled by the UI (hence why there weren't any changes to the character select screen). The reason the icons look like they aren't present is that they require graphics elements that're only in the updated graphics files which aren't on the updater yet. See my post with the attached zipfile with the new graphics files for the default color scheme.

Attached is the zipfile with the updates for Profit for GU68. I only did the graphics files for the default skin, the remainder will follow this weekend when I have time. The way they did them I have to hand-edit most of the files, so it's a long slog (no simple copy-and-paste overlay this time). I also want to clean things up a bit, once I've seen how it looks in-game.

I'm not sure about the persona window yet. It looks like they've got the heroic-character upgrade/unlock icon present and it may be on all the time if your character is below level 85. If it is and there's a way to upgrade characters elsewhere, I may remove the icon again. It'll depend on exactly how it behaves, so for the moment it's there and should behave the same way it does in the default UI.

The files have been sent off to the updater, they should be available there tomorrow. This zipfile is strictly for those who can't wait.

Thanks! Keep up the great work.

The update with the new graphics elements for alternate color skins is on it's way to Kaldran to post on the updater. It's also got a clean-up to the quest journal's daily objective page to fix the formatting for the timer and title and make a couple things look a bit better.

The graphics still use the default appearance for the new items. At some point I intend to go back and fix the new buttons to look like Profit, adjust color schemes on the new indicators to match Profit (silver/grey instead of gold) and so on. Functionality, as usual, trumps minor grumps about border color.
