Recently I decided to look into making interfaces for Fraxy, and it turns out it's actually pretty easy, and excessively versatile if you have everything you need (and some time on your hands).
As such, I see it fit that I may as well make custom interfaces, so long as the resources are presented. If you have a shmup whose interface you'd like to see replicated in fraxy, supply me with what you can, and I'll see what I can do. (Note this would be made exceptionally easy if what you gave me was a spritesheet rather than a screenshot. If you insist on a screenshot, however, make sure it is in perfect quality. If it's jpeg, I can't do anything with it.)

Note that the amount of a damn I give is directly proportionate to the amount of a damn that YOU give. Screenshots, elaboration, and everything I might NEED, I DO need. If you want an original, custom interface, then at least TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, AND WHERE ON THE SCREEN YOU WANT IT. Everything else will be ignored, save for my middle finger.

Something that would make the process especially easy on me is if you were to present a black image with all the pieces you want arranged how you would like the final product to appear. This makes it a heck of a lot easier when I have to work with several small pieces on an original HUD, or several pointless numerics on a replication HUD.

Like what?

I have an request.

Think you could make an interface based from Radio Zonde?
This is a screenshot while playing Radio Zonde on Immortal mode.
The crosses on the Left represent the Lives you lost, instead of an normal live count in most interfaces.
In the Spritesheet is the cross, although you want to make the Life count, there is a Heart next to the cross. That represents a life.
In case you don't know what i'm talking about, here is a screenshot of the game while playing as a Mortal.
And here is a spritesheet with the elements of the interface itself.
I think that is more than enough, right?

Do any of these work in Free Mode, or does it have to be in a try file only?

Yes, they should work in free mode as well, if I'm not mistaken.

Zarro, if you don't mind, I'd like a Mega Man interface.

The durability/energy/whatever is the first filled column, and, if you can, make energy obtained via Soll Diffuser the last filled column.
Also if possible, use the other meters to represent the cooldown on the weapons.
Put these on the top left corner of the screen, with some space from the edge and each other.

Edit: Also, if possible, replace the enemy durability meters with a replica of the player meter on the opposite side of the screen.

Use the Mega Man head near the middle here for lives. Put these under the durability, aligned laterally.
And for the score, which is centered at the top of the screen use the numbers in the top file in this zip.

Zarro, I'd like to request an Interface from you. It is for Veneficus Arcanum, and I have an idea for it.

The Interface I need is based on the one used in Castle of Shikigami, but with some differences. I couldn't find sprites but I did find a screenshot for you Zarro. If someone else can find sprites, let me know.




Basically the Interface I need will look like that, but with these differences.

-Remove those side-character pics and just make that area the "normal screen." Veneficus Arcanum will use the Fraxy 640X480 with the sides shadowed and restricted down to 360X480, and the Interface will just be on those shadowed areas. Just the interface stats and stuff, but the side pics removed.

-The Life Counter instead of those blue bars, should be instead Life X(number of lives). Shouldn't be too hard for you to change. That will be so that the Player can see how many lives he/she has even if they go over.

-Do not add that little "Player 2 Start thing" at the top of the screen, as for this will be a 1player Fraxy game. Please just make it the 1player one, and don't add that Player 2 stuff as for it is unneeded now.

-Of Course, do not add that IGN.com emblem to the interface

-Remember to include that bomb counter though. I was thinking of making limited bombs if I find a way, and there will be a maximum to the number the player can carry there. Make it look similar too.


That's all I need Zarro. Hope that this isn't too hard for you to make.

The screenshot is jpg, i don't think Zarro will work with that

and it's from IGN xD

I know, nercobump.

I have no clue if Zarro could do this, but I found this interface, without a download link.
And it never was added.
So I ask, can you make an interface that resembles the following?
