I want to change the Indian UI from SEAS into ORIE along with the buildings to blend in with the ME Ship Sails, Shah King, Imperial Camel, Sultans Research and be more consistent rather than being a odd mix of stuff from different sets. I have changed everything but unable to figure out the UI, would be thankful for some guidance in how should I go about doing this?
hi, you would need to create a local mod where you replace the specific folders from panels directory. The whole folder path is showns in the screenshot:
As you can see there’s no division into individual civilizations. You have division into regional civs though. As an example meso would be Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, who would share the same UI style.
For the parts of the UI shown in your screenshot, the files to edit are commandpanel.json (left/middle), blankbottompanel.json (bottom bordure) and mappanel.json (minimap). In each of those files look for a section named “StateMaterials” near the beginning, these section have 9 or 18 states which you can simply rename to get a different UI per civ-category without having to copy/modify any of the actual asset files. Just keep in mind that UI mods require a restart of AOE2DE to be loaded correctly.
I am already aware of this method of swapping folder and file names but it changes the UI for all 4 civilizations to ORIE, i.e Indians + Khmer,Burmese,Malay. I just want to change only the indians from SEAS to ORIE, keeping the other 3 in their original state.
By changing the icon-set used by a civ is what I presume would cause the interface to pick a different skin. Have not tested that though, it’s just a blind guess.
Sorry I cannot help you,I am not good at it.But if you are a Chinese or a person who knows Chinese,please visit the website website to ask the question or add to the AOE2DE QQgroup 112822759 to ask what you want to ask ,maybe some pepole know about it.
