Tried it when my comp worked for that one week before my NEW HDD broke the fuck down. (Claiming a new one at the moment) Anyway, is it just me, or did this VGUI lower the FPS? I remember when I first started up Empires on my new comp (on a HD 5770) and had avg. 150-200+ FPS on slaughththerehhederededred, but after trying this VGUI, it dropped down to 50 avg. Just me? No?
Is this still working for people? Or NESQUIKO's original black HUD? Trying both gives the same problem: Some parts work, like the font change in main menu, and the loading screen is transparent and dropdown menus are transparent, but the rest is the solid opaque blue HUD. I'd really like to get this working again if possible, I found that it did a lot for the aesthetics of Empires.
Steampires has broken custom content, and that's the one outstanding bug we still can't fix, or rather, don't know what causes it. There are plans to make it official at some point but Daruck/Nesquiko is short on time currently, so it'll have to wait for the time being.
perhaps i got my links mixed up. wanted transparent GUI, found it, it works, thought this is the thread i got it from and posted b4 trying. better now? lol
yes but they didnt use MUCH of what had been done on that GUI squad skill icons ALL icons for that matter bunch of nice visual improvements i was out of the game for a while....but why did we forego all these candies?

It was decided that Daruck's was too transparent and made it difficult to read sometimes. Ducky overhauled it after using it as a base and created something really great.
yes we love Ducky especially rubber ones. regardless this will be posted for when finalized, for whoever wants a fully functional version of what we have now in true transparent form. personally i was really surprised that you guys went ahead with current gui for steampires.... it really makes the game look OLD and MineCrafty (not in a good way) and yes it was TOO transparent, but imo it was because of the lack of border usage.
Again, have you played the game currently? Seriously, the current GUI is nothing like the old one. It's better in just about every way.
I was thinking about the gui be color coordinated for what team your on, so maybe nf would have theirs red. All the little blue sections on your hud would match your team color.
it doesnt really work like that afaik. look at the clientscheme.res file in resource folder and you'll see what has been done. EMP Blue is RGBA 35 55 84 255 or something like that. It's primarily used for the panels and HUD everywhere. yes Trickster I have seen the VAST improvements, and it still looks like a clunky ass piece of garbage imo. the thin, transparent version looks waaaay sleeker and new.
