Clock GUI -WIP-

smirt362 · #1 04-03-2007, 05:36 AM

For Mythic Legends, Ziro asked me to do a GUI for weather/time/temperature/season and I came up with the below. Still not done with it, I need to make the face, spruce up the window that displays the season, and texture the wood a little.

Comments/Criticisms anyone?

Where is the temperature?

It's going to be a thermometer clock. Either like that, or with the temperature on the top and the clock in the smaller circle.

That's just crazy enough to work.

P.S. I like it and it looks nice.

Much better than a lot of stuff I've seen from you.

It's nice so far.

I like the layout so far. I want to see it finished.

Probably have it done either today/tomorrow. Hopefully I won't disappoint

Change the color of that font and add some AA to it ;o

The clock is pretty so far, but people are making their guis way too big nowadays.

I mean that much space for a clock/weather thing?

DustyPorViva · #11 04-03-2007, 03:45 PM

I was just about to post that too. This is a little big if it's going to be on the screen all the time, or anytime really, especially for something as trivial as time.

Tom · #12 04-03-2007, 04:24 PM

Nice

But yea agreed with the dudes above, its a little chunky to be there all the time >.>

smirt362 · #13 04-03-2007, 08:11 PM

I dunno, I think it's fine. Especially since what he has now takes up about the same room horizontally, I just displayed the information vertically.

Elk · #14 04-03-2007, 09:26 PM

i improved it a bit myself xD

Chandler · #15 04-03-2007, 09:47 PM

wow, I really like!!

Elk · #16 04-03-2007, 09:53 PM

Pretty. You don't need the hands though. Those are taken care of by showpoly.

Elk · #18 04-04-2007, 12:15 AM

oh damn =(

also wanted to add...
you might take care at the lightsource next time

If you take out that image or whatever, it's like 16 instead of 45. Whoever made that icon used a ton of colors...That icon is just there as a place holder anyways.

Edit:
I could probably work on the gold part and use less colors

DustyPorViva · #20 04-04-2007, 01:29 AM

Perhaps change the backdrop of the clockface with the image of the season instead of dedicating a whole section of the clock to it?

I like this, but rather a minitature back drop, then when you do a mouseover it shows the bigger version. Scripting rocks.

Actually, it's what ziro wanted and the icon isn't the season, it's the current weather.

Gambet · #23 04-04-2007, 02:49 AM

Wait, I don't get it.

How is it a bad thing to use more colors?

Elk · #24 04-04-2007, 02:50 AM

its not bad...its just waste of space

there are like 20 colors that are similar to 1

yep, if you compare a HD Movie and a normal DVD it wouldn't matter, would it?

Well, on small images, who cares about some bytes? On larger images you can probably worry about that.. >_>

Exactly. Or if you are working on a bigger game project ;o

DustyPorViva · #30 04-05-2007, 01:48 AM

It's a pixel art practice. Not so important nowadays, but still a good practice if you're pixeling.

WanDaMan · #31 04-05-2007, 08:42 AM

I really like it, nice job

smirt362 · #32 04-05-2007, 09:38 AM

I'm done now...I think

SayianOozaru · #33 04-05-2007, 12:09 PM

You need to make the bar for the tempurature fill up the whole thing, and seperate it from the number thingy. I think in scripts they can use a 3d light, and make the bar change with that, depending on the tempurature.

They could just use showimg to display the whole bar, and then do changeimgpart with the variables of the temperature and some maths inside and...BAM there you got your working bar ;o
