Vanilla SupCom UI -> FA UI?

I was wondering, has anyone ever ported over the UI from Vanilla Supcom to FA before? I kinda the way the UI was present in the Vanilla version over the FA version.
If no one had ported it yet, How hard would it be?|||the vanilla UI was terrible, unless your confusing it with one of the Great vanilla UI mods
edit: but to answer your question i have no idea how hard it would be since i know next to nothing about UI modding|||It probably can't be ported, and clearly it was re-written largely from scratch when going from SC to FA. You'd have a much easier time trying to make the FA UI look like the SC UI, and that would still be a ton of work.
As Hawk said though, the SC UI was kind of bad. I'm not really sure why you'd want to port it. Maybe a re-write of the FA UI to look like the SCA UI (the mod Hawk mentioned), but even that would be a huge, huge task (which is why nobody has done it).|||Hi,
yeah for fun i have already started this mod, it serves no real purpose as the other guys have said the vanilla ui is awefull.. the only thing i like about it is the enhancements panel.. (the clickable picture of the com) which as it happens is very easy to understand and recreate outside of vanilla.. its all contained in one file.. looks like a drunken fool coded it lol.
however like i say i have already started this mod.. ive only gotten as far as the screen size, the outside brackets, energy/mass and options place holders..
there is an awefull lot of work to do this mod.. to get it exactly like vanilla..
i can upload what ive done so far, if you would like to see it.. although it would have to be tomorrow.. :) tbh i dont think i will continue with the mod.. as like i say i just started it for fun and to see how far i could get with it.. its all good ui programming practice.. :) if you would like to continue with it.. your welcome to carry on where i left off with my mod.. :)|||Domino
