    nice clarification =)

    The art used above comes from shadows of amn insn't it ? so SHadow of amn mosaic in that case. If not, something like twin warriors mosaic should fit ^^

    This might have been answered and I missed it, but the 36 on the bottom, is there a way to make that horizontal, or is it like that for a reason?

    It isn't 36, it's 3-6, 3 being minimum and 6 being maximum.

    Ahh well that makes sense. Perhaps I need to pay better attention. Thanks! :)

    @ShadowSmuggler - @doodles is correct - as you can see 'Heart of the Golem' does 1D4 (1 dice 4 sides) +2 damage = Minimum: 1 (smallest number on dice)+2=3 & Maximum: 4 (largest number on dice)+2=6 giving you the min and max damage.

    Working on Archaic Custom Inventory right now and I've got the background complete which is about half of the work. Next - I need to arrange all the elements and then start testing. Should be released with BETA 5 without a problem.

    If anyone is interested in pre-beta testing (alpha) before BETA 5 release would you please send me a DM. First person will get hands on preview of Archaic Custom Inventory later tonight. Must be able to test it in a normal game play session for a few hours between tonight and tomorrow. Report bugs and feedback via DM with screenshots if necessary. Thanks.

    The mosaic looks great, but the letters really need to go. Either use the BG font, or remove the title entirely.

    @TheBlackThrone - Thanks for the suggestion.

    Archaic Custom Inventory is done ahead of schedule. Here is a preview of one of three sword coast mosaic designs:

    That is brilliant. Shame the so called professional developers cant even come close to the quality of the modders.
    Great work, and much respect Sir.

    Any chance for BETA 5 release today? BTW, where are you from? Which time-zone? Europe?

    @Etamin - I'm in the US. Release maybe today or Monday. I still have a few small things to do before release is ready.

    I'm creating all new button sets for options, main menu, start menu, record screen and more. Should be a huge improvement from the stock buttons.

    @Balquo - I can't count how many UI fixes I've made due to poor design.
  • Notepic4Notepic4 Member Posts: 27
    @Magevil Poor design? POOR DESIGN? Please your UI is an improvement in every way, you don't give yourself enough credit ;)

    I've been working my ass off to get BETA 5 out! Maybe later tonight or tomorrow! Massive improvements...

    Take your time, the 4.0 is really cool for the moment.
  • CyphCyph Member Posts: 22
    I concur, take your time, as much as is needed, to get it right and for you to be happy with it.

    I stopped progressing in the game because I'm waiting for a few more patches and I want to finish my mod then I'm going to actually play the game, lol. The wait will be worth it - polished game and GUI. :)
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    @Notepic4 - I'm speaking about the stock UI issues like overlapping buttons or incorrect dimensions. Once you start dissecting each screen you see all the bugs and lack of polish.

    @Seldar - Each beta release will include a list of pre-determined criteria that I have laid out going in so I won't cut corners.

    @Cyph - I'm finally starting to put some polish on the game and its starting look like an 'Enhanced Edition" UI speaking...

    @theoricus - Thank you - its been fun.

    Good News: BETA 5 is set for release late tonight!
  • cryocorecryocore Member Posts: 121
    Great stuff! I hope Overhaul are paying attention here and offer you a position or compensation for fixing their mess.
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    A few short hours and BETA 5 will be released!
  • neoespritneoesprit Member Posts: 196
    can't wait for beta 5.0 ! I've been sick all week end and couldn't check on the progress but I'm back and will test this extensively ^^
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    BETA 5.0 Released! Feedback is welcome. Thanks.
