Minimalistic custom AOE3 UI

Sugoi !!! Arigato gozaimasu !

STAFF EDIT :

Since the original post is gone, here is a summary of it.

You have to place these files in the /data/ folder in your game files. I only made a version for HD resolutions (1920/1080). For other resolutions, the UI might need to be adjusted to display properly (especially on smaller viewports).

Would just like to add that you can still install the obs UI on top of any existing uimainnew.xml ui files, provided that you''re using the installer that came with 1.7

Step 1: Uninstall the obs UI by deleting the uimainnew.xml file in your data folder.
Step 2: Install neuron''s obs UI
Step 3: Launch the installer with your game resolution selected, "Don''t install maps", and "Other" under compatibility options.

The uimainnew.xml file you now have will be cross-compatible (won''t look quite the same because neuron''s mod has all this stuff at the top that will be seen through the obs UI). Though it still will make the game lag when you''re resigned, so perhaps you''d want to save 1 pure version of neuron''s uimainnew.xml and 1 edited version of it and interchange them as necessary.

Can you post a pic to see how that extra button shows up? Are you sure you tried it on the maximised UI? It shouldn''t show the mili/eco cycle button at all (make sure you installed this file: uiminimappanelnew.xml).

@shaolinstar
If you were on the minimised UI and just switched to the maximised, it''s best if you restarted the game, so that some UI gadgets get properly loaded/refreshed. Then I think that button will disappear and you will see everything right.
You are absolutely right. Fixed, thanks.

No worries. I play with 1920x1080. I was just wondering because I also play on my laptop & the standard resolution for most laptops is 1366x768.

Oh that was it my fault, i didn''t disabled the minimised UI,
really thank you for that
your UI is really amazing really looking forward to use it ! :)

Not having a confirmation dialog for the resign button will increase the chances of Boneng'ing your game. It also seems unnecessary because when do you really need to resign as fast as possible?

neuron this is gorgeous!

I have just one request, I'd like to slightly tune things to my personal tastes. i have three questions,


where can you edit the size and location of the production queue? i like it nice and visible ^^

Where can you edit the size of the HC flag? aesthetically only, it would be nice to have it larger

How would one go about to bringing the resources back to the right of the minimap? i've been playing the game for years and I'm 100% used to that location. :p

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Very nice UI! I'm missing a one thing though: Buying resources at the market. I can't macro for shit so I will often have to buy resources at the market, but I can't with this ui. Other than that it plays amazingly!

I can''t really add a market in the UI, since that would be considered an unfair advantage, similar with a training button. So, the UI has only standard functions (except for some graphics options and the options to hide the entire UI if you want to obs games with it).
Never mind, I looked wrongly

[img style="max-width:100%'" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/coppy.me/FXwkmx0zL.png?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI4TFSCDPXBUV5WDQ&'Expires=1432919321&'Signature=dwPk7Wsrk1LoWZKHHK7cZD4VIrg%3D"]

The "buy" buttons when selecting a market are beneath hunting dogs and gang saw. I was looking for them under the sell buttons.
