XWA Interface Update out now
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2021 5:36 pm
I'm happy to finally release this brand new huge update that I've spent long hours on creating since the summer.
The XWA Interface Update upgrades the look of most of the menu screens found in the Flight Simulator room and others. It replaces nearly all the interface images stored in the Frontend2.dat file. Many of them look a little dated so I thought it would be fun to update them with brand new images featuring craft made by the XWAU.
This means when selecting options in Quick Skirmish there is updated X-Wing, A-Wing craft images and more.
Also most of the Icon boxes are updated too. They are now clearer new versions of the original design ideas.
When replaying a Tour of Duty, images have been updated for difficulty, missile choices, collisions and more.
I’ve replaced the menu Cutscene movie preview pictures with improved versions.
The Multiplayer section has had the screens updated with new Cockpit images on the menus.
The Racing Missions section has had its menus updated too for the Yard race selection screen.
Lastly in the Crew Quarters there are new improved Rebel and Imperial kill tally icons.
So essentially most of the buttons etc you see that you interact with in the game have been altered to look better.
See the Readme file for all the changes. I hope you like what I have done as I think it gives a 20 year old game a little bit of polish.
I'll post a bunch of screenshots which will illustrate some of the changes better.
