GAME LOBBY UI - host view

[goodkebab]

cool seefoo!  nice change....i do agree that we no longer need the red/blue boxes  as it is quite clear enough with the gray corner frames.  What will probably happen is the map screenshot will be full color...so this creates a lot of depth, focus and dynamism.

When I finish Merc,,, we can have in the background the Spy on left, and Merc on right....so that will strongly emphasize the seperate teams.  -one reason I wanted to have the teams opposing each other on left and right.

Next technical question for Iservalot is if we can have  3d text that can be animated and rotated in the editor in order to support seefoos design.

I'd have that text pre-rendered.

i don't like like the perspective team box :/

[Gawain]

so i have this idea that everything (text and icons) are buttons. 

It might look a lot better with near monocrhomatic colors with only the Map having a full color image.

Well, I'm figuring about having a basic screen like this here
....
while being copmpletely aware of what's going on in the lobby.

GOGOGO! ^^

Hmm maybe you all dont agree with me but on this whole concept im gunna have to go with Tigaer's design it just seems to flow  and just to add to things; i think there should be a move function for the host so they can move the those annoying people who decide to  spy whore and not move when you ask them to.

i disagree on one basic thing...which Tigaers has excellent color balance and font, but lacks layout design

Seefoo  has excellent layout...but is just lacking the right color balance.

affirmative. imo the map preview is too small and the perspective effect too strong, and there is some room unused which could be easily used for equipment/server browser/etc

Interesting concept.
I'm not a big fan on the perspective boxes or the flags. However the flags could be replaced with custom clan logos or pictures. That'd be cool.
To me it looks a little bland and there seems to be a lot of text.
Maybe we'll be able to get a better perspective on the UI's once we chose a name and get the merc model done.

And again better.
Layout's good now. Now it needs a bit more smoothing, like tigaer's and maybe a bit clearer menu like daybreak's.

Keep it up!

@tigaer: I dont see a merc pic =/

haha, nevermind, i thought the mic was a visor.

[Daybreak]

That's looking better.
I'm still not sure why there's the little text beneath the name sides indicating the names, flag and ping. I guess it's needed for the ping.
I think with us three working to merge all three we'll evenutally come up with something great. As I suspected were are going to go through quite a few designs and redesigns. So far I think were on good progress.

the beast is on a role

[Gawain]

some stuff is better in the 2nd one. but why all the buttons and text say teamsay say, follow ur concept and by clicking on "say" it changes to "teamsay" etc
the room on the lower left and right could be used for equipment/server browser/stats.
for the mapchange, either make a popup with little previews of eash map, or make litte arrows beneath it to cycle.

Yaaa! second view rox! but u need add merc pic on the right :) and on the left spy model :P
