User Interface

User Interface (UI) is somewhat complicated stuff to get it right, but once done really is enjoyable to view.

Main UI Background Screen Tutorial

by Widowmaker

Requirements:

Perl
tga2res.pl
procidx.pl
irc2res.pl

UI's are all 800×600 256 colors TGA 8 bit uncompressed and flipped (turned up side down) be sure to name the tga files the same as here:

Main screen - mainbg.tga
Dogfight screen - dgftbg.tga
Tactical Engagement screen - tacengbg.tga
Campaign screen - campbg.tga

use the following lines to produce the idx/rsc files

./tga2res.pl mainbg.tga MAIN_SCRN
./tga2res.pl dgftbg.tga DGFT_SCREEN
./tga2res.pl tacengbg.tga TAC_SCREEN
./tga2res.pl campbg.tga CB_MAIN_TGA

Perl script has now created the following files:

mainbg.idx
mainbg.rsc

dgftbg.idx
dgftbg.rsc

tacengbg.idx
tacengbg.rsc

campbg.idx
campbg.rsc

Copy the newly produced files into art/resource folder. You're done!
