Hi there. I am working on a new UI for DSL. Based around Punch out.
I came up with the idea for this when I saw SKBT's rock'em sock'em tourney idea. It's been on the backburner for a while but now I have some time i'm actually getting somewhere with it.

It's still in early stages as you can see, but the one part you can't tell from the pictures is the new sounds which i'm putting in. Yes, the Punch Out title music plays when you start the game. And the fight theme plays when you're in the bot lab.
(Oh and I know that the Team HQ and Exhibiton buttons are swapped around in the screenshot, this has been rectified.)
-
That's brilliant. Just... brilliant.
-
Ahahahahaha, that's sweet dude. XD
-
What does the Team HQ and Botlab look like?
-
The same as DSL at the moment, as I said, still in early stages. :P
-
Sorry, I hate it :P

That was unnecessary and mean. Keep harsh opinions to your self.

2. Anything in "Modifications and Designs" should go through anyone's opinions or constructive criticism without objection.

:surprised:
This is awesome

schweet dood

To say i've hit a bit of a creative block with this is an understatement. But I made some new icons for when a robot is destroyed/eliminated. I've got a feeling that progress will be slow on this one. I won't touch the status meters as I tried and they looked horrible.

Like it? Hate it? Comments, please.
Oh and i'm in two minds whether to redo the sidebars or not.
-
I like what you've changed but not how it appears next to the DSL stuff.
-
I wonder if there could be an extra gameplay mechanic in which Doc Louis steals your robot if you lose in a tournament? :P
-
You should definately do the sidebars, as SM said, it doesn't fit in.
-
With the sidebars redone, that would be amazing.
-
I have to say this is the most creative custom UI I have ever seen. I would have never thought of it. And it looks so authentic! Great job.
-
Positive comments! Thanks guys. Have another screenshot.

Brb currently skinning cursor to look like a boxing glove.
-
What is that 123STW doing? Did he help you?
-
For some reason I shoved 123ai into the copy of Ra2 I'm using for this.
He's not helping in any way and 123ai won't be part of the final download or anything.
-
Me liek.
Infact i might do something like this now :o
-
TC, you should make AI teams to match the Opponents in Punch Out!! :O

This is awesome.

My original plan was to re-do the rookies team and the extras with more of a boxing theme. I did consider a 15 team ai set but I don't think I would be able to come up with 60+ bots, let alone be bothered.
For now, have another screenshot. I know theres a bit more work to do on it. And the transparency is a bit of an issue. But i'm not sure I can do much about the latter.

Wasn't there a tournament somewhere which was about boxing robots?
-
Yep. That's where I got inspiration for this.
-

Yep that would be my tourney idea. I'd put it up for the polls but I've got work and stuff IRL so there isn't enough time to run it. Also Joe never finished the arena for it but I can't blame him for dropping the project after I pulled out of the pollfor it and then took a break from GTM. :P

OOOOH YEAH

This is insanely awesome conraaa. Almost makes me wanna work out a custom UI for myself, but I probably won't. But great job.
-
Well, I did try and take a screenshot to show you the new loading picture thing.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70620screenshot_35.PNG)
Yeah. It turns out F11 hates the main page of the botlab. And the loading icon
So I just went fcuk it and photoshopped the loading icon onto a screenshot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94821screenshot_39.png)
And I put a new cursor tga in and it hasn't changed. Odd. And yes I did muck around with Atom Smasher.
Also. Does anyone have any experience mucking around with the wiring control panel and gibs in the bot lab? I want to change some bmps to tgas and so far all I have managed to do is to break it a few times. I am almost getting annoyed. Almost.
tl;dr F11 hates me. So does the cursor. And the gibs don't like me either.

I would recommend you guys don't get too carried away with AI ideas. I want to get the UI done first :P

I love that loading screen. XD

Your not editing the cursor in the correct place..
You need to decompile RA2.cfz, edit the cursor in there, then recompile everything..
You can edit GIB's with Notepad.. changing file extensions is pretty straight forward, open the GIB's, find the file names you want and swap .bmp with .tga
-
So that's why, thanks Joeblo.

This ui is getting there.
-
Very nice dude.
+1 if I could
-
Looking good
I hate the concept personally, but that's just my oppinion :P
But VERY nicely executed :D
-
Very nice dude.

I gave him some on your behalf. :)
-
You know those sounds I mentioned in the opening post? Well...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM4HMyCzGs0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM4HMyCzGs0#)
Have some annotations aswell.
Oh and expect Punch Out themed team pics. That's on my to do list.
-
Very nice.
-
Awww....
I expected the boxing gloves to move as you selected menu options...
-
Awesome work!
I heard that the idea of making a couple of boxing robot teams was thrown around but then turned down. I could help and build some if you want.
-
You should do a tourney with that UI...as long as pokers and rammers are only allowed.
-
@SKBT I never fully wrote off the idea of ai packs. I just stated that I would probably be unable to make 15 teams by myself.
@Hard Bot What do you think i'm using for pot luck?
-
Wow, Conraa, this is coming along beautifully. I just have 2 minor suggestions:
1) in the botlab, can you take the transparency away from the component selection menu? It's a little hard to see the components
2) TKO is only used when a robot loses due to immobility. A loss from destroyed control board or OOTA would be KO (I believe RA2 has seperate icons for "Destroyed" "Immobile" and "Eliminated")
Other than that, really great job, I can't wait to get my hands on it.
-
1) I'll see what I can do, it is a bit hard to see I'll admit.
2) I put KO as the immobile icon because in boxing when you're counted out it's classed as a KO
A knockdown occurs when a fighter touches the floor of the ring with any part of his or her body other than his or her feet following a hit. The term is also used if the fighter is hanging on to the ropes, caught between the ropes, or is hanging over the ropes and is unable to fall to the floor and cannot protect him or her self. A knockdown triggers a count by the referee; if the fighter fails the count, then the fight is ended as a K.O
I put TKO as the control board destroyed and the eliminated icons.

Fair enough. I was basing my definition of KO vs TKO on the way Mark Beiro called the Battlebots matches (and assumed an OOTA would be KO, because there is no OOTA zone in Battlebots.)

Want me to make the cursor?

Already did that one thanks.

sorry about that, my vision was messed up when i read this the first time due to lack of sleep. but if u need anything else, fire away, since i'm actually getting used to component making & GIMP. (just generic parts and weapons with no normals.)
-
I'm not planning any custom components at the moment, but if I need any i'll be sure to ask.
And i'll try and make a bit more headway on this one on Tuesday when I have time to work on it. I have to admit i've hit a few mental blocks on this one. But they are just minor hurdles.

Welp.
Quick question. Should I carry on with this? Does anyone even care anymore? I know I sort of trailed off with it and I apologise.
And who knows? This just might be home to Conraaai when I get around to it. :P
-
i'd use it
-
Me too.
-
It seemed really awesome from the pictures.

I Say You Keep On Going

Bump:
I'm still working on this!
Here's my last preview before I release it in glorious Betamax vision. I hope you guys didn't like King of The Hill matches that much.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77655screenshot_57.PNG)
And yes, the robot smash one will be changed. I'm still annoyed it's impossible to change the ingame font.
Feb 18th. It's coming.

Sweet.
