Hello,
This is my first public User Interface that i have made. It was a pain in the butt but well worth it because i leaned a lot from this and i will hopefully imply that on my next UI. Before i even begin i would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to three special people:
[EJ] Bean: Without bean i would be no where in UI making. Many tips he has given me that i wouldn't have learned as easy as i did from him. Many frustrating moments i have had with him and not once did he say bugger off.
In fact, i was the one who quit out on him half the time :D. He has taught me a lot, and i cannot thank him enough. He gave me feedback, no BS stuff. He told me how i can improve and what i shouldn't do. He took time to give examples both in writing and pictures. He allowed me to use one of his W.I.P maps to test on. He showed me trust, I'm glad he trusted me because i learned a lot from using his W.I.P Map and i cant thank him enough for that. Bean has done more than what i thought anyone would do. Without you bean, i would have made a really cruddy UI. Thanks bean.
n00b1n8R: I would seriously be stuck in the mud if n00b hadn't responded to a help wanted post. He has done more than i could ever ask of him and yet he still does. He has been the nicest person i have met by far that was
willing to tell me the truth and not say, "Oh that's awesome even though it fly's right threw the map and everything is messed up. But its OK!". No he made many suggestions, even helped me lay out a another camera track
that he planned out. If n00b hadn't responded to my help wanted post i would REALLY be way behind. I thank you n00b for everything, and i thank you for going beyond and helping with many things.
Timo: Wow, are you god? =D Timo had the answers when i really couldn't figure it out. Sometimes they were really obvious once he explained it to me. He was kind enough to explain them and even when i could not do it he would do it for me and send me the file. <3 You. Are. Awesome, many thanks for that. Timo i thank you so much for the help you gave me and answering my PM's. Also i thank you for taking time to explain how to edit the files.
I also thank you for that last minute question that was a total awesome success. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR!

I'm at a shortage of words today so if i repeat myself, flame me. Anyways this project was a pain in the rump. I was originally shooting for a totally re done paint job, and all customized things. That failed, badly. After i blew a month on that, n00b said to go with all defaults. I really hated to but i didn't have a choose, i was at a lack of photoshoping skill. The onlything that is custom about this UI (Other than the map) is the button, "Admire". This was Timo's idea, and i was thankful he allowed me to use it. While i was still confused on how to do it, once again Timo was kind enough to explain it to me. (Thank you!) Over all i think this has taken about 3 months, sounds ridiculous i know but i am new to this so that explains why. I would like to thank Timo and n00b1n8R, both of these guys help a tremendous amount and i can't say thank you enough times to these two. Also i would to say thank you to [EJ] Bean, he help me understand how to make a UI. In other words i wouldn't be here without him. Thank you too. I thank everyone who helped in the making of this UI.
F&Q:
Q: Did you have permission to use YoyoRasts map??
A: Yes, i emailed him before i even touched it.
Q: Is this your first UI, because this just sucks.
A: Yes this is my first UI, but that means nothing. I could have done better, but i wanted it to be a quick to load. While still using some features.
Q: Can i rip out the admire button and use it in my UI?
A: This was Timo's idea, i just copied it. So ask him, not me.
Q: FILE FRONT SUCKS, UPLOAD IT TO HALO MAPS PLZ.
A: I will be doing that soon, this is the final UI but it will take a day or two before Dennis aproves the upload. Also, in case of a last minute fix.
Thank you all who help me with this project. Take care, :lol:
