MrF0X Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hello all cosmonauts! This is my first post in the community, I hope to post this in the right place. I'm a graphic designer, and I've worked on some mods for other games. But KSP is my passion and I would like to collaborate with the community. I decided to do some tests for an improved interface in the graphic aspect, without intervening in the size, functions or positions of the elements, just perform in reskin of the interface. (especially for QHD and 4k) Seeking to unify unnecessary colors to decrease unnecessary visual complexity, and also make those long trips to Elo more comfortable. The idea is to use flatter textures, with greater contrast when necessary and greater clarity in the shapes. This is a very easy redesign job to apply to the game if the configuration and texture files can be easily modified. With KSP I am a little confused on how to start the work so I decided to ask the community for help to form a team and work on the aspects that I do not know about the game. I have always worked alone, without sharing many of the mods I made, but I think that should change, and the KSP community is one of the best to start learning and sharing experiences.

Azalen Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 That looks neat af. I'd install this in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStaal Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Looks neat. Personal opinion is that the PAW looks just a touch too flat - the buttons at least should have a bit more depth to them. Also, the altimeter should be either skeuomorphic or flat, not both. I don't really see the rolling off of the numbers making sense to me if it's flat. The navball however is nice, in that it's got just enough depth to look like it's actually a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxgurugamer Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 This was done once before, by RealGecko. It would be a good thing to look at, I think he got most of the controls. Personally, I'm not a fan of these flat layouts, but I can see why some would. I'm on my phone right now, reply if you want me to point you to his repo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my phone right now, reply if you want me to point you to his repo It all depends on the editing capicity, I personally like some flat designs, but it is also true that the interface can be seen much better with slightly more elaborate designs. I think it would be nice to access that repository, to see how far we can customize the game as external designers. What I am looking for is to give the game a better interface thought from the point of view of visual load, so that the controls do not lose functionality, but are not so "noisy" either. It all depends on the community, what you can contribute and suggest, I will take into account all the paths and aspects that serve to improve the gaming experience. (and some streamings) The general idea is: 1 Improve UI usability (without making big changes) 2 Improve visual appearance (to make the game feel more modern) Anything you can contribute and teach me to carry out this project is welcome! I think those who like to use improvements in textures and shaders think sooner or later of improving something in the interface, adding this to all that great work of the community would be incredible!

Gargamel Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) @BOBthePLATYPUS, your post has been merged into the thread you linked, as that is the best place to ask for updates on a mod. And seeing as this is a WIP, it has been moved to the Mod Dev sub forum. Edited April 29, 2021 by Gargamel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman.Spiff Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) woah I only saw this because it was moved. I hope it gets more traction! It really looks a lot like the KSP2 UI!

Guest Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I must be in the minority (again) but it doesn't do anything for me, in fact I'd say I don't like it (the style I mean, not the workmanship). The stock altimeter and panels are very 80s C64 and could do with an update but not in this style in my opinion. I think the issue is when you try to modernise the stock UI's it just ends up looking 'odd', maybe a total overhaul would appeal to me more? PS Or switchable versions to please everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still a really cool proof of concept that might allow for easy UI switching a la Texture Replacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the flat UI isn't that great of a look for KSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravem Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I really hope this mod gets made. I find this interface to be much less cluttered than the original interface and I really like the look and color choices. Also from a graphics and UX designer perspective, It makes most icons and the information they try to convey more visible. If ever viable, I could see a color editor for the interface to be highly appreciated. Hope you keep up the great work @mrfox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
