Summary0016891: Polish: Race specific control panels (and portrait borders)?
DescriptionJust a thought I had with regard to the now cancelled racial themed HUDs: How about only changing the console at the bottom of the screen and maybe add a styled frame to the new leader portrait? Might be a good compromise between effort and flavor?

We thought about this, but thought it would look too disconnected. I'll let Blue comment further, though, if she had anything else.

One thing is that for diplomacy purposes coming up, there are going to be some awesome textbox things that are very racially-flavored with other races talking to you. Doesn't help with you having a deep hud connection to your own personal race, but will bring out the character of the other races, anyhow.

Hi there!

Yeah, sorry for the disappointment on the racial GUI's.

"How about only changing the console at the bottom of the screen"

As Chris mentioned, we explored this option already and ultimately decided it wouldn't be something that would look good.

"and maybe add a styled frame to the new leader portrait?"

I'm a step ahead of you on that one. :D

The new racial portraits that have been implemented have been given a canvas size about twice as big as they need so that during polish phase I can swing back. I had plans for racial flare there. :)

Are those racial portrait borders mentioned by Blue in yet? If not it might be worth keeping this one open...

Hi there Nas1m.

They're at a point where they're done, but not quite implemented yet.

Thanks for checking!

Those are done! Those are the ones in the upper left corner.

The ones for the dialogues aren't in yet, but they aren't replacing an existing screen directly, either.

Just to make sure: we are talking about the extended borders of the potraits not the portraits themselves, Right = )?

I'm talking about the upper left of the main screen. As to the diplomacy screen itself, that's going away entirely. There are new dialogue windows that have custom styles that are complete in terms of art but not implemented yet.

The portrait in the upper left is what I am talking about as well = ).

The only difference is that I interpreted Blue's first comment such that there is an additional race specific frame in the works (enabled by the mentioned bigger canvas) for exactly this portrait in the upper left of the main screen.

Are these still coming? Or did I get something wrong here?
Sorry if I am riding a dead horse, but I am really bad at leaving things like this in an unclarified state = P.

I just uploaded a thing. They are already there, or should be. Do you not see them?

Ah, okay. I guess I saw them.
Will double check when I play the next time. Seems like I have been using the races with the most unobstrusive ones recently.

I simply expected something bigger due to the mentioned "twice as big canvas" I think = P.

Glad we cleared that up :)!
