internal menus, status and control bars 1.6 myth

[carlinho]

I'm trying to restyle a bit the status bars for myth for the greek plug
I could easily re do the 640, 800 and 1024 x bars
but somehow there's bigger sizes bars (that i see just by playing in bigger resolution preferences) but I don't see where to replace those files in the collections...
I just couldn't find them in the tags....
where are those collections i can then open in amber and change?
how are they called and how can i extract them?

<all higher res than 1024 x 768 menus and bars>


also there's a catch 22 with the headshots bitmap, somehow if you import it as a regular bitmap it doesn't transparent the headshots, anybody knows how to do that too?


thanks!!!!

You want to talk to Infininight or Death's Avatar for more information, as they have experience in making custom interface plugins.

But to give you a place to start, extract the "Patch 1.4 Interface" and base your work on the tags in there. You'll want to keep the same set of tags (more or less) when building your final interface plugin, as Myth expects these to be present in "interface" plugins.

i extracted that and changed it saved it in the local collection folder and it works!
I still will pm death as I have no clue how to make that headshot thing transparent in the status bar....
