Tried downloading the file and opening with the PFM tool. Didn't work, just a bunch of errors, even the new Rusted PFM doesn't recognise the template. How can i get the UI files? I'm trying to bring these to TW2.

As long as you can use Photoshop or a similar tool decently, sure.

I've never modded anything, except maybe a .sav file to give myself $$ or something similar. Do you recommend giving this a shot as a complete beginner?

Not sure what exactly happens there, but I never had issues with my loading bar colors.

I got a weird bug on the loading bar reskin.
Any loading bar that have yelowish or greenish color doesn't come out properly.
The loading bar comes out as weird pixelated, although the exported image from the template kit is normal looking.
The weird thing is anything else with yelowish or greenish color works perfectly.
Any idea what cause this error?

If you mean reassigning a skin, just take my Themed UI Compilation, open it with PFM (Pack File Manager), edit the ui_skin assignment in the factions table for the faction of your choice to the one used for Chaos and you're done.

how do you do that?

Sure, feel free to make one yourself with this kit. Although there already is the pretty dark gray / blackish skin for Chaos, so that might suit your needs just fine too, by reassigning it to the faction(s) of your choice.

would it be possible to make a all black ui for all factions?

True true! Ur absolutely right. You never know what kind of uses the community will find!

It's more of a matter of enabling other people to create possibly personal skins by mix-matching whatever they want or making it possible for them to be creative with reskins for single factions (the many differently colored Empire and Dwarf factions come to mind) or skins for future races.

Since the original PSDs I received from the original maker of these skins were not quite satisfactory, I remade them and thought I might as well clean them up a bit and release them to the public - who knows who might want to try getting into modding with these well prepared tools.


Also, it's quite nice to see that another well known modder appreciates my efforts to help new potential modders get started more easily than most of us.

Cool . Haven't opened it up to look over the photoshop files yet . Still waking up.. but thanks for doing this. (Tho I'm not sure what I'd change that would be any better than what you went with haha)

To be serious though, I like the idea of helping the community learn the tools though, that good sir, is commendable.

So from another modder who appreciates quality photoshop work, cheers and thanks!
