Really looking forward to the next release.

(I think what would be great for a start is to release a version that is compatible with the Advanced Edition - even if it's not complete.)

@Phlakes. Remember I might be able to help you with a few of the UI things for AE when your ready. I am thinking of releasing my own UI mod that is "based"/inspired by yours, but not exactly yours. While you were gone I've done a lot of new stuff myself and changed several things. I hope you are ok with that?

When I upload that it will hopefully give you a "template" to redo all of the UI stuff in the Remastered style, make it AE compatible and expand on what you've already done.

I would also like to offer my help. I'm no good with pixel graphics but I could help with the UI. Btw, which Font did you use in the remastered version?

@Rockman Did you already adapt the new sector map to phlakes-style? If not, I would have a go at it.

One other thing I would love to change in AE are the two "Man Station" buttons. They look kind of clunky in my opinion.

I have already done the sector map! It was a total pain in the ass, they way it is generated now is so weird and it uses the ipad folder! Whhhhyyyyy!!! I even made some high resolution versions of the backgrounds for the sector map.

I have not touched any of the AE icons so go ahead and have a go at that. I would like to see those get done.

That's why I offer my services for UI stuff wherever helpful. I would like Phlakes to focus on new stuff rather than adapting the mod for AE.

Great! Yes I saw it's in a different folder and way more complicated than before.

To be consistent I would have to know which font Phlakes used. (It's not any of the original FTL fonts as far as I saw) But I would be happy to take care of that once I know.

I re-did the "ENTIRE" UI before AE came out too, but I created my own font for it. What I think Phlakes did is just soften the edges of some of the vanilla letters. I don't think he created a whole new font. That means Stat Screen, Customization Screen, even tutorial.

For my font I tried to keep it as close to vanilla as possible. For example, I didn't like Phlakes' Ns. And I tried to make all the letters more similar in size so that it would look more futuristic.

You can see the font I used on the last couple pages of this thread. I have 4 different sizes of the font to fit any purpose. If Phlakes likes it you can just use that font. What do you think about it?

What kind of help are you looking for?

Do you have an idea of when the next release will be? Looking forward to this, I love quality pixel art. <3

Hello. I just stumbled across your mod, and I must say, it looks fantastic! Really great work! It seems to have a bit of a bug for me though. For some reason, there are extra copies of the interior layout of each ship just kind of sitting off to the right/down from where the actual interior is. It's really a shame, because the work you've done is beautiful. I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem or if its just me. Also, I thought it might be due to a conflict between mods, so I turned all of the other mods off and the problem persisted, so I'm pretty sure it isnt due to a mod conflict.

That might be another Advanced Edition issue. I've gotten Russian Rockman's build and I'll be doing what I can to get an AE compatible version of the mod out soon.

VERY nice, I especially like the weapons. Keep it up, no matter how long it takes I can't wait to play the full release

I don't really want to steal Phalke's thunder, but for anybody who just can't wait for a new version of FTL Remastered I made a Complete UI Overhaul in the Remastered style while also adding a lot of my own graphical improvements and those from several others.

Unlike the current Remastered version this mod is completely AE Compatible. I sent Phlakes everything I had worked on over a month ago it seems... But I'm not sure if he is even working on this still.

SOOOO.... If you want a Remastered-esque graphical mod check out my mod here:

It might be what you're looking for.

NOTE: This mod does not include Phlakes weapons, drones, or ship reskins. Only his UI and some various other graphical improvements. However, if he gave me the OK I would gladly make a compatibility patch to include those as well.

All credit goes to Phlakes for being the first to attempt a graphical mod so grand.
