Post subject: VIE Clone Skin [download]

for those of you who do not visit ssforum.net and might appreciate this...

After many hours of working around the limitations of makeskin.exe and Continuum (no offense intended), I've finally completed the first version of my VIE clone skin for Continuum.

Here's a screenshot...

click here if your computer does not like .png's (if you cannot see screenshot)

The ships ARE animated. (in this version)

readme_VIEd.txt wrote:

VIEd_v01.skn

clone of the SubSpace 1.32 UI

you cannot see custom ships - intended for SVS players

arrow buttons (on left) are nonfunctional as there is no such function for Continuum
(use left/right arrow KEYS to cycle through ships)

place file "title.dat" into your main Continuum directory to make the client say "SubSpace 0.38" instead of "Continuum 0.38"
(sorry, it will say "SubSpace 0.39 prerelease 1" if you're using .39pr1 - blame PriitK, not me

)

right side extended some so most zone names are not abbreviated

"main menu" button switched to "options" (since there is no main menu

)

color depth should be 32-bit

possible alternate versions coming soon...
[no arrows on left side]
[arrows on right for zone list]
[arrows on both sides]
[still ship images instead of animated]
[different color depths]
[fully modded - advanced options, trace, next/previous profile, etc hotspots]
[extended zone list width to allow less abbreviation of zone names]
[combinations of all above]

assembled by: Akai

comments, suggestions and requests are welcome

It's just over 1mb (for those with slower connections).
Edit: and just under 24mb unzipped (bleh)

OK, so I was running in 24bit, but Ctm should convert the palette for you. Why can't this be 24bit? (What sort of programs need 32bit anyway?)

actually it doesn't work for me either, but I figured it was just my crap computer, os and drivers (it doesn't like the size - I think 8-bit works for me

)
had to test it on the other computer

I'll make it available in other color depths soon

The ping meter is still gay, and the fonts are too large.
