The Old Republic Beta Interface

[d20hero]

So i'm absolutely in love with a lot of elements this interface has. It's simple, informative and effective. In an attempt to recreate some of the elements this UI has, I have hit a few roadblocks. Currently I cannot find any information on creating "glowing" or "soft edge" textures, mainly to make the health bars and casting bar appear of similar quality. Also I'm wondering if there is any lua script to recreate the inverted coloring of the cast bar as its filling. I plan on fully developing this UI over time but for now my goal is to achieve similar unit frames . Any advice is welcome.

p.s. I'll continue posting screenshots from the game with notes on things I want to try and do.

Boss Mob Targeted

For a glowing texture, you're going to want to make a solid color and use an alpha layer. You can probably find out what you need to do this on your own, or someone else might chime in with better help. I gots to get back to playing New SMB with family

Well a choke ability would need to be channeled, not casted, thus the backwards "wind down" effect. I'm sure the client has a similar structure that WoW has (i.e. mpq files with loads of textures, etc.) I'd look into their forums and see if you can find them, then simply convert those to .blp which is most common for them.

It's currently in alpha, in house, closed beta so getting a hold of those textures that way is not a possibility.

Those textures are everything, but complex. Are those gamecamshots or something? Because the quality and detail of those textures really sucks.

Its probably a screenshot of one of the videos.
