Title: Halo Ui Colors
Post by: mastertito4 on March 25, 2004, 05:16:00 PM
i plan on converting the colors of all 104 UI pics (words, highlights, arrows, etc) and might "remix" the logo or backround somehow. i only got 1 thing stopping me: its goin to take a lot of time so i only want to do color ppl for sure want to see. check out the color(s) i got up there already and rock the vote. if some1 mentions a color or a combo of 2 that ppl want badly then i can do that too.

lol mirx, good call. i wouldnt mind seeing black at all, but i think it would need a 2nd color to go with it. i AM in school too, but i know a semi-quick way to do this color conversion stuff (all-turquoise take me about 30 seconds... pics with blue glow is a different story but will turn out fine)

the Term " No shit " comes to mind lol happy.gif

I know this is not in the options but what about a Dark blue/black Wave effect color scheme?

Could look Pretty cool smile.gif

I think it's obvious by the poll that MORE people want green.

I was just trying to sway the mod in my favor. Glad we can come to a consensus! Red it is!

I like the covenant colors because...the covenant are awesome!  If somebody releases a mod where you can play as the covenant this UI would be perfect! biggrin.gif  tongue.gif

But until then, red will have to suffice. biggrin.gif

jester.gif i thought the first one was good and the 2nd wasnt aweful.... 3rd was by far the worst.... but anyhoo the UI is lookin really nice. dark green instead of blue is pretty much all i'm changing and i might fool around with the planet/halo ring stuff for the menu. ive got all the simple bitmaps like headers and words done, and r starting on the hard ones with multiple colors and blue. i think u guys will be very happy with the results.

If only it were red.... BTW, what program are you extracting the hud bitmaps with?

how do you edit the ui.map?
Title: Halo Ui Colors
Post by: mastertito4 on April 07, 2004, 05:56:00 PM
i edit the UI by extracting the bitmaps from the ui cache.... i wont be doing the HUD for 2 reasons:

1. im pretty sure the hud bitmaps r in every level, not the ui (or in addition to the ui)
2. hmt hasnt supported all the types of bitmaps for extraction like they had promised (among other things *cough* xbox map rebuilding *cough*)

i open each bitmap in photoshop (u need the .dds plugin) and for most of the pics i just ctrl+u, check colorize, and use 120, 60, -30... it gets complicated for the more complex pics. ill prolly do dark red next! expect the dark green release this weekend.
