FreeOrion

A while a go pd also mentioned something about a simplified techtree... * I'm using a custom, simplified techtree. I'll post more about it later in content creation . http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4743 ...so it might be useful to know what kind of a techtree he used, before ...

Are there any frequently asked questions that new users have about FreeOrion`s game play, which aren`t so much version specific, but rather involve the general FreeOrion game design? Because if there are such questions, it might be a good idea to use a general game play video to show how these thing...

Anyway can you really say that the difference between the window background shade and the editable fields background shade is about equal in eleazar`s picture and your 0.3.14 screenshot? Because the way I see it, this difference is more noticeable in the 0.3.14 screenshot and this also makes the ed...

Ok, I think it's quite obvious now your monitor isn't calibrated correctly or doesn't have the ability to properly differentiate between certain tonal ranges. The differences between the background and the editable field is definitely quite noticable, the line descriptions in my mockup can be easil...

Weird. I edited the post with that link to remove it, since it seems to be broken anyway. Hopefully that fixed the problem...? The problem is fixed. Its a false positive. Maybe the adobe photoshop signature in the picture triggers the warning (look at offset 26E9 and 3808) This might be possible, s...

I also forget /06/ from the web address. Now the address should be complete.

When I try to open the George Concepts thread in the Graphics part of the forums, I get a malware blocked notification from Avast 5.0 antivirus. The web address that produces this notification is: Edit: Removed the address, as the link in question was also removed. The problem was a link to a screen...

What FreeOrion options resolution did you use when you made this? The UI texts are currently quite small so I wonder, if changing the FreeOrion resolution could fix this. Also like Geoff already mentioned sound and music could be a great addition to the video. Overall I think that gameplay videos su...

I don't follow. Everything is pretty much equally obvious in both UIs. Obviously, a white font on black background provides the most intense contrast, but it's not necessary to go that far in most cases. That's programmer's art(no offense). Experienced artists are usually able to work in much more ...

It's actually quite similar to how it looks for me in .3.14 but I'm not sure, if it's because of changes I've made. http://www.optisch-edel.de/fo/galaxysetup.jpg And this image quite nicely shows what I ment when I said that the two colours could be used together in the UI, or as in this case diffe...

Well the fact that the Galaxy Setup window is nearly completely light grey (or dark grey depending on who is judging the image) is my biggest problem with it. I just can`t see any benefit that is achieved by switching to this (all grey) from the all black background. However I don`t have a problem w...

I just really properly noticed this topic, and so will only say that I hope that the UI changes that will possibly be made will be subtle enough, so that they can make the UI both easier to work with and also be pleasing to the eye. As this is a space game black and dark greys fit the UI nicely, but...

Very nice.

First of all sorry for the long respond delay. Instead of linking just to http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42955 (the thread) you coud link to http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42955#p42955 (the specific post). This is a very good idea. Now I just have to learn how to link...

For all super enthusiastic MOO fans it might be nice to know that there is a MooUniverse Mod for Armada 2526.

I haven`t tested the mod myself however, so I don`t know about the quality of this mod.
