Thanks for confirming! Is the manual posted already? If so, I couldn't find it on the nexus page.
p much everything in there can be vastly improved. Some of it easily, some with quite a bit of extra work.
I made a very quick draft today for what would be the easiest: chatbox and some graphical fancy on the menus, and sent an email to Pierre to see if I can get him interested in allowing me to mod the UI.
And even then it still requires quite a bit of fiddling. I'm not too fond of the screen-wide box, but don't know how adjustable or not the engine may allow it to be.
And of course, this kinda shit would require a few passes and revisions in stylistic consistency but could look really cool once properly done.
