    Starting the Store/Inn screens today. These are the last screens left in the BETA 6 agenda. After these screens are complete I will have a little tweaking and testing left. Then I can put the installer together and finally release BETA 6!

    WooHoo! Looking forward to BETA6. Keep up the excellent work.

    What "scaled" meaning?
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    @Aliard1806 - Check your Baldur.ini file (located in Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition) to find this:

    'Graphics' , 'Scale UI' , '0',
    -OR-
    'Graphics' , 'Scale UI' , '1',

    0 means scaling turned off. 1 means scaling turned on. If you don't see this line at all then you have the default settings which means scaled turn on.

    Improved GUI with a slimline border design and better map focus.

    You're such a tease lol. It's looking sharp.

    So how many more betas are you planning before the final release? We are on beta 6, what is your total goal?

    @Wakukee - I have no goal on the number of betas. Just as many as it takes until the whole game is redesigned.

    Hi Archaic, your mod is really fantastic

    It has support for other languages​​? I am a translator and if you need to locate some text to Brazilian Portuguese i will be happy to help.

    Hi, @Ecthelion_TR, this mod alters only the graphic user interface (GUI) of the game, I think that if you want news about a portughese translation and possibly help you need to go to the portughese section of the forum and ask there. :)

    BTW, the first announce in that section is related to the translation, just contact @Thantalas or @mlnevese! ;)

    Awesome work with the area map @Archaic. Very neat! Now I know something else to compare an elven arse with.

    @Ecthelion_TR Any doubts about the Brazilian Portuguese translation should be directed to @Nasher

    The store/inn screens are coming along slowly. There is a lot to plan and map out before I even begin the design process. Hope to have some screenshots coming soon...

    So, Ummm. How long will the download links be suspended? I can do with the beta 5.5 while waiting for 6.0. But for some reason it's unavailable. I really don't get why.
    Anyone care to shed some light on why this is?
  • MetallomanMetalloman Member, Moderator, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,975
    @netc0rd: Actually BETA 5.5 download is disabled as BETA 5.5 is incompatible with the actual version of BG:EE.

    As Metalloman said, the 5.5 download was diasabled due to one of the updates to BG:EE being incompatible with 5.5. So unless you have an un-updated copy of BG:EE from several months back, beta 5.5 wouldn't do you any good.

    I found a couple of issues with the new GUI that I had to resolve for lower resolution screens. After a few days of trying to figure out a work around I finally got it resolved. Now back to designing the store/inn screen. I'm not sure how much I will be able to get done this weekend as I have a lot of things going on. I'm just going to play it by ear and see how much extra time is left over.

    @Archaic: are you taking donations or anything for your work so far? I'd be more than happy to throw a few dollars your way if it'll keep you motivated. This is seriously good work.

    At the very least, you can buy a coffee or something... :p
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    @psyact - I appreciate your kind offer. It's not a matter of motivation at the moment but a matter of available free time I have to put towards this immense one man project. I've had a lot of others offer to donate and I may provide a Paypal donation option on ArchaicGUI.com in the future. Thanks.

    Got some of the secondary store/inn screens done today: Message Boxes, Item Description Screens, and Bottom Nav panels. Moving on to the design of the Buy/Sell, Rooms, Drinks/Rumors, and Donate screens. Making progress...

    is there any kind of estimate to how much longer it will take? looking forward to it after all the screenshots :)

    @ChildofBhaal599 - Nope. It's to hard to predict.

    Unless the Devs give him a heads up, he won't know if 6.0 will break until the patch hits. At which point he'll either fix it or redesign it. Given the amount of effort he's putting in, I think it's safe to assume this is the look he's going for, so he'll probably fix it if a patch break it.
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    @Sylvus_Moonbow - Agree...
