Need add to interface.
« on: December 20, 2007, 08:21:35 am »
So I think there should be one more file in Interface folder ("center.bmp/.png"). It would be default all transparent green propably. It would be displayed on the center of the screen (it would count the center pixel or display it at all screen). It would have 3 sounds - turnon, turnoff, iddle (turnon - when turning on, iddle - when turned on, turnoff - when turning off). It would be turned by some key combination (Alt+F3 for eg.). It would be usefull to make NV effect, add better look for non-reg Interfaces, or for other cool things you will invent.

I hope that I explained what I wanted clearly but if you have any questions just ask.

So what do you think about it?

I doubt many people want a night vision interface. I doubt even more that people would want one with sounds. If you want a night vision interface / dark green screen, just open up one of the existing interface images, make it huge, and apply transparency.
There are other worlds than these

Heh. You think I didn't tried? :)

The last thing I tried is to attach the NV gfx to health and ammo bars. No way. The bar goes down and only some green is visible. (pic of bar attached).

Without makin' reged interface it's imposible.

Pure 255 green is invisible.

This is very unneeded, and I don't see how it could add anything to the game. Also, I don't think it would look very nice at all if implemented, who would ever need NV anyway?

It could be used not for NV only. You will be alble to eg. put the bloody frame on your screen or something like mecha skin for mecha mods or whatever you like.

It is visible when using .pngs with alpha transparency.
