Improving ToEE's User Interface

SKILL MASTERY | AFAIK, you will never see this interface in-game.



METAMAGIC | The screen where you put little dots in circles next to spell names.



RANDOM ENCOUNTERS | The random encounter interface. The green weeds at top are modeled after a similar effort in the vanilla version. (Tried to stay true to form on stuff like that.)



ROLLS | Here is the rolls window where you go to see proof of your forth critical miss in a row.



TEXT | The 'text' window. I don't know what this is. It's not the dialogue window.

 

TOWNMAP | The townmap window.



TRACKING | The tracking interface that almost no one uses.



WORLDMAP | The worldmap. Woot!

 

Okay, these three will round out the lot for 7.6.0.

CRAFT WONDROUS ITEMS | The items crafting interface.



CRAFT MAGIC ARMS AND ARMOR | The arms and armor crafting interface. For reasons that can be clear only in the mind of a Troikan, they completely changed up the way this interface was done. Hence all the weird pink transparency.



RESTING | The resting interface.

 

Yup. In most cases (all but the CMA&A interface), transparency exists only around the edges of the box and basically is done that way so the box can appear 'fancy' with irregular edges. CMA&A is different. For some reason there was need of transparency in parts of the center of the image, but you won't see map showing through in those parts.

The only reason I'm including pink/transparency here is because this is the modding thread, not the 'for show/cool pictures' thread.

 

^ Right on.

 

Actually it is necessary because it ties the formation to whichever is selected. (Recall that you can have multiple formations.) The tabs that show the various formations are not visible in the images posted here but they are drawn in-game.

I'm not really convinced about the line issues btw. I mean, yes, I guess some people see those lines, but I don't think it's the lines that cause the lines if that makes any sense.
