Borderlands Themed User Interface

Well, after a long break (Haha, one week) From World of Warcraft, I began playing the game 'Borderlands'. I noticed key things that could be used in World of Warcraft that could be used as a User Interface, such as the party frames. Now obviously, this requires a lot of work, so I'm presenting this to the community as more of a concept rather than a request, and seeing if anyone would pick it up.
Honestly, if you think about it, Borderlands is up there with one of the most popular games (at least for the Xbox 360). This User Interface would be well received by the community if made accurate.

Here's a few screenshots of the interface:



If anyone has any feedback or ideas, I'll update the OP as I get more ideas

That's possible with STUF or oUF. You would just need to make the statusbar textures.

There is no coding involved when you are setting up the Unitframes in STUF By the way lua is not an acronym.

The most difficult part is creating/extracting the textures (frames/fonts/etc) needed. Once the textures are in a WoW friendly format/dimensions (either Blizzard's .blp or .tga with an alpha channel, in a dimension that is any combo of powers of 2 such as 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512).

Then using existing mods such as Stuf or oUF (for the Unit Frames) and kgPanels (for other attaching to other frames) you can build your Borderlands themed UI. If you use Stuf you do not need any knowledge of Lua.

As the previous poster mentioned it's Lua not LUA. It's a word that is Brazilian in origin from the Portuguese word for "moon". It's not an acronym (like what NASA or the military loves to use).

Force of habit to capitalize LUA D:
I guess i'll give it a shot.

Bah, I need a place to start from.
Can't script a full LUA file on my own.
