Ooooh. That is VERY good indeed. I must try and get that into my Post Build 12 update!!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

BTW: I take it this interface has been made to be installed on Build 12, right? It isn't more-or-less Post Build 12 made, right?
 
I have now tested the new interface in normal Build 12 and I am ever more impressed. It really is very excellent indeed.
A few things I noticed, mostly with the fonts:
- The new font is quite narrow; not nescessarily a bad thing, but I did notice it
- The font is sometimes very bright, especially the dialog option selection when you talk to someone. If possible, could that be toned down a bit?
- I noticed the quantities and prices have been changed into a yellow font. I'm not entirely sure I like that. I'm not entirely sure I don't like it either. If possible, could you make the colour here slightly less vibrant?
- The text on buttons doesn't seem to be positioned in the middle, but at the top of the button. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I thought I'd mention it.

And while we're talking about interfaces: I noticed a few things in the current Post Build 12 modpack interface, which I asked Nathan to fix. Unfortunately he doesn't have much knowledge about interfaces and didn't know how to change it, so I thought I'd try to ask you:
<!--QuoteBegin-"E-Mail to Nathan Kell"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("E-Mail to Nathan Kell")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->After you hover your pointer over the “Choose Outfit” button, that will be highlighted as default selection, but when you move your mouse further, isn’t removed again. This is rather annoying if you’re assigning skill points using the spacebar and you accidentally hover over the outfit button, because then the spacebar will open up the outfit selection screen instead of increasing the skill. Hope that can be changed. The same happens after you exited the change character name screen. The change character name thing will remain highlighted. Even if you use increase skill after that, the character name will remain flashing. I hope that also can be changed.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
 
Darnit, now I can't decide whether I like the blue or the brown better. :] <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />, Maximus! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I would really, really want this interface improvement merged into my modpack. I've tried to merge it in several times and spent quite some hours on it, but no luck. Any chance Nathan or Maximus could make the new interface compatible with my modpack? That'd be great. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
That's a thing of beauty, Maximus! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

Great work! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Hmm. Indeed this is a TRANSLATION and COMPILATION of the work of russian mod teams. Maximus used:

<!--QuoteBegin-Maximus+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Maximus)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->EXIT button was removed, now you can exit from any interface with mouse-click on TITLE. In character, perks, passengers and EncounerOfficer interface now you can see - who is your officer (boatswain, navigator...) All buttons for CREW (pay, salary) and for SHIP (transfer, berthing) moved to the SHIP-interface.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

All this are mods made ALexusB and his team.

So Maximus, not your ideas was taken from the AM addon, you took our work and translated this. I think it was better to say it in the first post.

But, Maximus has translated the interface and it is really good, that now non-russian POTC Fans can enjoi the AM interface.

It is a close call, but I like the Brown best. I don't suppose the colors could be made toggleabel?
 
Cheers to all involved, then. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Jason: I believe some base interface graphics are changed (and their names may well be hardcoded, or at least in pictures.ini and not worth changing), but it should be simple to write a batchfile to handle the swapping.
 
Dear mawricus. I can understand you... but!!! Code in A&M completely CLOSED. And i'm not in Addon Team. All, what was made - made by me, only idea was taken. And that was in my first message. Understood?

Pieter Boelen: Your modpack on FTP? If it so - i'll help you

And i'm already working for switching interfaces (blue and brown) by one button <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Sorry my friend, but .ini files are open and it is true what all interfaces are 60-70% in INI files <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

And of'course graphics file which was found and created by RS_Alf is open for use too

But you are right, your work is prefect. you created good porting of our job to english version.

But we had't been asked for it...
 
Ahoy Alex matey,thought Vassel coverd that a while back as far as translat'n A&M Mod Pack to English on behalf of Modders at Pirates Ahoy,so just to be sure,I'm ask'n on behalf of all modders at PA if we can use in part or whole the A&M Mod Pack,make modificatons to exist'n A&M Mods to better the game fer English pirate community,and O'course all said Mods would be credited to the A&M Mod Team who did a awsome job on the A&M expansion pack <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Is there still a modpack of mine on the FTP? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
I meant my modpack from <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">here</a>. Any help would be most welcome. I would really like to see the blue interface merged into my Post Build 12 modpack. It looks great!
I reckon the brown interface version can be saved for Build 13. I'm not wanting to make my modpack larger than it needs to be, so if the brown interface would also be made working for the modpack, I'd rather put that up as a seperate, additional download somewhere.

I would also want to thank everyone from the A&M modding team for doing the great work which this has been based on. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
And while we're at the point of talking about stuff taken from the A&M mod: I also want to say that I have taken several character models from the A&M mod and put them into my Post Build 12 compilation (which can be found at <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">Pieter's Pirates Page</a>). I haven't taken credit for making the models (I'm not so good at making human-like models and am terrible at texturing anyway), so I've only taken credit* for merging them in. I recall once hearing that we could use the files from the A&M Mod for the Build, so I sincerely hope you don't mind... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

*credit in this case means that the models are merged into initModels.c like this:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    // --> PB Merges
    makeref(model,Models[n]);
    model.description =  "I want to dress out like someone really, really poor. Don't ask me why.";
    model.id    =  "brodyag1"; // From the A&M Mod
    model.price    =  1;
    model.assigned    =  true;
    n++;
    // PB Merges <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->As you can see, it does say the models came from the A&M Mod, so I hope this is OK with you...
 
Very nice new interface, thanks to everybody who contributed <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I'd prefer the brown background, the "wooden" style looks to me more sailship like.
 
Harrrr! CCC ye ol" Seadog,hows der werld been treat'n ye mate,Kinda like der Brown interface,kinda goes wid new PA forum skin <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
