The GUI looks really good in my opinion, but i see the graphics dont show up correclty and the text either =/

ya, that is being sorted out, i've been told robin knows a fix, as he ran into the same issue.

[GammaÃâžÂ]

ok, other than that, it looks very nice and i would love to test it :3

[doomteam1]

Did a quick update. Does it look better?

[GammaÃâžÂ]

it looks a little bit better, but the text is still bugged =/

[VitinhooxD]

GUI looks nice.Did you converted it to dx8 by yourself?

[xelander]

I would love it if you made the window wider
as widescreen, or atleast not 1:1.
Do 4:3, or 16:10.
That will make it look better.

Basically, D3D8 uses the outer dimensions of an image rather than the inner. The old +1 method which most of us used screwed up partial texture rendering and not using it screwed up full texture rendering. You need to change how you render the vertices.

I like the GUI layout, but you should consider a font change, especially for the chatbox. Being able to read the text is more important than style in my opinion.

updated screenshots, character stats are now rendered on a different screen not shown

Nice menu. I wonder where you got the idea for that. :rolleyes:

Robin's still the only one who can do it well though.

Nice menu, Doomteam.

[SilentGamer]

Looks good, I can't help to think where this is from… XD

[doomteam1]

Did an update with the GUI, do you think it is getting better? What should i improve on?

[Ertzel]

Make the text readable and give the chatbox some kind of border to it.

[damian666]

or what about a tut teaching guys to do that too? xD

*edited, made a visual error.

I like the rounded design. I think you should work to make it a little more ornate. I'd be appeased to no end if you could artsy up the hp/mp bars.
