Two different people.
Are you talking about what I have in my sig? The skill bar...
If so then Photoshop or some paint program.

[AnarChaos]

Guys.. You don't get what he means. He is trying to tell the look of the skill bar itself. The guy (tbk22) changed how it looks.

So he is asking how to change the skin of the skill bar !!

I get what he means but I don't know how to change that. Sorry Boiler.

[XMoshe]

I always thought it was an add-on from some softmod or something, but I think I'm wrong lolz

[BloodyBlade]

Dear god, the ppl on srf are slow in understanding.


Well, I knew you could get some skins on 0x33, but I'm not supporting it, because it mostly comes along with bots.

[Boiler]

hmm ok , any1 here got a nice skin to send me or that i can dl ?

PK2 Edit...somehow :s

[JanChlpik]

Its not hard to edit, but need someone to paint this first. I am not painter myself, but can explain which files change(need dds editor)

I thought you mean mod like this.

For everyone who want to try to make their own underbar (part of the Silkroad GUI), here is a pretty decent PSD file with the right shapes and the right height's / width's.

I tried to make the PSD as structured as possible, and named every layer and sorted them into layer groups. Most shapes are vector shapes, so they won't be unsharp even if you choose to Edit/Free transform. If you use the base shapes, it should be pretty easy to get it in-game after, with some simple pk2 editing.


I made a few different base shapes. Included in the PSD (the images in the rar are just previews of the shapes). Here is one.





Download Here (Sendspace) (v.1.1)
Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) (v.1.1)

361KB





==============================
Extra info:


You need to remember that the pk2 files cut these up into many images. Here's the basics of how the p2k cuts it up. (The orbs are also single images, "laying" on top of the rest.)


So you haven't got much area to play around on

This means, you will fail if you do like this, at least it wont be able to work in-game.


This will work




2 Examples. Hopefully some inspiration for someone.

What are you looking at? Open Photoshop already (;

Sorry it took so long

[JanChlpik]

very nice. Master revealed himself. Did you make overall skin or only underbar? All the files are placed in media.pk2(Skill pictures in icons directory and underbar in interface/underbar).

These pictures are named something.ddj
You need to open it with hexeditor(XVI for example freeware hexeditor http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

After loading it will look like this


You need to edit so DDS is at first place


and save as something.dds

You can view the dds files with
Microsoft DirectX Texture Tool
or Irfanview(http://www.irfanview.com/), do not forget to install all plugins for irfanview as well(they have it in one file)

You can edit them with Adobe photoshop(as mentioned above) and possibly need to put back the header from original file and rename it to something.ddj.

im sorry if im sounding dumb, but what was the last post about (made by JanChlpiK)

i am wanting to know what to edit and how to edit, maybe with a skin to download and test out before the rest of us bugger up making our own skins.

whats really needed is a guide. by the looks of it. most of its done its the pk2 editing left and the DDJ part.

thanks in advanced great info so far sheding lots of light over here!

[JanChlpik]

First get pk2 editor/extractor
http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=73206

Open your media.pk2(placed in program files\silkroad possibly)


Icons are placed under icon directory(highlighted)
You want to edit skill icons possibly

Next underbar and minimap is placed in interface directory.

You need to extract all the contens you want edit.

If you have the files ready then click insert string(Ctrl+I) and input hex data from original file(it is every time different so thats the dificult part).

You can download the original underbar in dds format here http://files.filefront.com/underbarzip/;10115958;/fileinfo.html
note this files cannot import into pk2 file, they are just for viewing purpose.

DDS plugin from nvidia and texture tools from nvidia here
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html#downloads

[penfold1992]

as i said it would be nice if it was made into a proper guide in the guides and tuts sections

can someone send me the link the the newest pk2 editor the rapidshare one i had doesnt work...
thanks in advanced

ps. the ddj files have many entries, am i right in suggesting the ub_window_01 and ub_window_02 are the actual user bar and the deco are the bits on the left and right (i would view them but i need the pk editor)
