that interface is actually starting to look quite nice now, considering im not a fan of mir3 style bars at the bottom.

maybe have an exp bar, possibly a map name?

exp bar runs along the full length of the interface (cant really see since i dont have an exp on this char)

and the map name and position is where the minimap is (hidden by my char status)

Don't suppose it's possible if you hover your mouse over a mob or player that you can bring up their stats down in that space at the bottom?

If not then in there i would put one of the following:
Time and Date?
Amount of Gold and current status?
Maybe if its possible to move the health bars and status to the left a bit, you could put a minimized chat box that shows 3 chat lines, just keeping you updated on shoutouts etc when u dont want the big chat box out?
Something that lets the player know wether its night or day, that sign could go along side the time and date maybe?
And maybe just put a sound panel in there with stupid noises you can just make, or an mp3 player? ^__^

Wotcha think?

some nice ideas. all sounds easyish to do. apart from the mob stats, that cld take abit of work.

Time and Date?
- i had this ther, but looked poor quality so removed it

Amount of Gold and current status?
- what do you mean current status?

Maybe if its possible to move the health bars and status to the left a bit, you could put a minimized chat box that shows 3 chat lines, just keeping you updated on shoutouts etc when u dont want the big chat box out?
- thats a nice idea, i might try and do that. (but what wld go there when you use the larger chat box)

in a box
i'd say put the time and map back in like in ur orginal post farphit

i think richens means make the text box a minimize button which would cut its height by half, so you see more of the screen

Well when your press the minimize button it auto puts it down there in that space.

When its not minimized i'd put the Time and Date, Amount of Gold, and if your a Begger or what ever.. Tis what i meant by status.

Keep us updated Farphit, i like this interface. Keep it up!

will try and get the status done today (will take a second since iv got them done just commented them out)

need the blank bit altering tho, since just adding text there looks tacky imo.

Nice work

its looking like a very nice crips clear interface, everything in its place and imo far far better than the euro interface for mir 2.

9/10 if not a 10/10 for it

At first i thought it was an interface for legend of mir3, looks very similar, but that's a good thing because alot of people like LOM3, Very nice, will it be releassed?

This is what i meant.

When you minimize the chat box, it goes down into the menu there. Below. And when its not there it should show the time, date and if its night or day or w/e with a pic. You could also show amount of gold maybe with your status.

Dead impressed with this interface!!! Best looking Mir 2 interface I have ever seen :) (Says a Mir3 Person :P)

Dunno if this has been asked anywhere and I haven't understood the question... but will it work with TD's 2.3?

Also, are you releasing so I can steal it for my Mir 2 server?

no it wont work for td's files.

this is a full client exe. not just a change of interface. unless i can get the encryption for td's files it will only work on the svn files.

like i said earlier tho. dont expect a release soon. iv got alot on my plate atm so progress is very slow, specially on my own.

Tis nice. I still think that the exp bar should be over the whole of the bottom screen, all the way over to the left. And health n stats should be over there on the left.

What ya can do instead of that chat box down there, is carry on that look like this but put in stuff like... Available Points, Amount of Gold and Time and Date or something...

Wotcha think to this one?
