Nightfall
A custom UI for Urban Terror 4.3

Ever since the FS team made the UI open source, I have wanted to take a stab at completely redoing the the UI with a fresh new theme. So that's what I have started doing!


The point of this UI is to provide the following:
  • A clean, distraction free UI
  • A dark color palette
  • A more modern design
  • More features and settings available.


Current download link: https://github.com/K...leases/tag/v0.2

Pages Implemented:
  • Main Menu
  • Set Username
  • Log Into Auth
  • Log Out of Auth
  • Error Window
  • Rotating backgrounds for all pages


New Features:
  • Static background and header/footer
  • Implemented the Announcement Box
  • Username and Auth are now simple pop up windows
  • Created a standard cursor
  • New menu music - Listen Here

looking good! :)

I do like that you actually kept the bars from the old menu. Thats just what i did myself. keep those two bars, the logo and the copyright stuff where they were/are. Gives so sort of continuity feel imo.
//edit Iye:
i just realized that you replaced the logo with a more "HD" and style fitting version. nicely done!

Im missing the Login/logout button though?
And i do agree that the buttons are kind of missing something. they dont look bad and all, but compared to the bars, and the nicely done background, they look a bit out of place to me.
Maybe increase the 'play online' button size and move them all closed together?
Or add icons as i did in my own reskin?

Would i use it? yes
Will i use it? no. love my own menu reskin too much xS. Also i actually never use the menus anymore. All Qtracker.

"Set Username" should be under options and if you absolutely need to have it there, rename it to "set alias", "alias", "set nickname". Because username is the auth. Other than that, it looks good and I'd use it.

Thanks for the feedback so far!! I have tried messing with the buttons, trying to make them look more 3d, and I just couldn't get it to look quite right.

Also, I have not actually finished editing the actual menus for UrT. The pictures I posted were just a mock up I made in illustrator. I'll be sure to post a pk3 when I have something for everyone to test and check out.

it seems to crash my 4.3 rc2. worked on 4.2.023 though.

Got to say: love the background music.
Also like the changing background. (now i see why you suggested some of those maps to become "official maps" :P )
Have you considered adding a fade in/out effect via an "fog" layer with alphagen wave sin. Might get a little fuzzy while trying to get the timings right, but imo it would look so much better :)
Something i put together for the my custom main menu, but then didnt use in the end:
Spoiler



found it a bit confusing that the top bar is slightly darker than the bottom bar (guess its the alpha value).
Besides that the UI looked pretty bright at r_gamma 2.3 (which is what i play on) at first. :S

The background images looks too "blurry". I'm still not sold on nickname option on the main menu. It just feels wrong to see the option on the main menu, setup > player and there the option is again and then there is always the console. It's 3 ways to change nickname and it just feels like the complete opposite of what I'd consider "A clean and distraction free UI".

Fredrik, I mostly added that for the first time login. I hate that stupid username screen that pops up when you first load urban terror, and I wanted that to be cleaner and more accessible. I am planning on removing the nickname editor from the main settings menu and making the home screen one be the main way to change your username.
