Maple Wood Skin v2...

OOTP5 Maple Wood Skin v2.0 (BETA)

This add-on Skin alters several elements of the game's graphical user interface. It is based off of the Wood Maple Skin originally released by the developers. My goal was to attempt a better coordination among the main color themes presented in the original version as well as to clean up some of the graphics in regards to rounded edges. Top priority was given to creating a crisp overall theme to an already popular modification for OOTP5.

Known Issues: NONE

Installation

An uninstall feature is not included for this Skin. It is strongly recommended that you backup your existing ../Graphics folder should you wish to revert to the game's default interface scheme. The simplest way to accomplish a successful backup is to make a copy of the original Graphics folder in a secure location. The additional Skin (.skn) folders within the Graphics folder may be skipped during backup in order to save hard drive space.

1) Backup Your Existing Files!

2) Right Click the maple20.zip file and select Extract All.

3) Choose the Graphics directory the simulation was installed to and select Next to continue.

Note: Default Graphics Installation Directory = c:\Program Files\OOTP5\Graphics

4) If prompted to overwrite files choose Yes for each individual file or Yes To All for a quicker transfer.

5) Once completed select Finish and run the simulation as usual. Navigate the File menu and select the Game Setup option.

6) From the Game Setup options screen choose Select Skin and pick the Maple v2.0.skn option from the list and then OK.

NOTE: The defaultphoto-01.bmp and the radio-01.bmp are extras that can be renamed to replace the others supplied.

Support

This is an unsupported Beta version and a work in progress project. Use at your own risk.
User comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact me at couriers@mail.com or via the OOTP forum boards.

Redistribution

You may freely distribute this file provided that the original artwork and readme.txt are not altered in any manner.

Credits

The entire OOTP development team should be recognized for their initial work as well as many other modification developers whose work served as a great inspiration. Some of the artwork of other developers has been utilized in creating this Skin, some modified and some original.

This Skin is mostly a set of graphics that have been compiled from across the Internet and altered to fit together into a common look and feel. Only some of the artwork is original and I take little credit for having created any substantial portion of it. If you find that your work is being included in this Skin and would like to be given credit or would prefer that it was removed, please contact me so that it may be arranged accordingly.

Thank You.

Screenshots

In game screen shots available upon request. They are best viewed in full screen 1024x768 mode in order to reduce any distortion that may occur at lower levels and smaller sizes.
