New Splash Screen

[ceriux]

here's what iv started with. i like this one ill make this one downloadable. Then i think im going to take different time of day pictures =) Then after that do some photo editing and see what i can come up with let me know what you guys think or give me some suggestions.

edit: apparently night time in edana sucks. so no night time splash.

THE SPLASH

Edana Day Splash - Download

Edana Dusk Splash - Download

The way the sign looks made me think of MS:C DOOM style.

Honestly, the only one I'd think of using is the last one, as the meh Photoshop job slightly makes it better.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

The first two are pretty unsharp and the third one has a Steam Community popup in the bottom.
You should make screenshots of some other area, to be honest. Everyone has seen Edana a million times.
The dawn/dusk idea is cool though.

the reason i chose edana for my first ones are because well it would point new players where to start. seemed to make sence to me idk... i plan to make more. but i might not be able to help the sharpness... the tool i use likes to do things like that to my pictures... im not sure why. it resizes them to 800 x 600 (that should be all it does anyways) but. my pictures were already that size so im not sure of what might be causing it.

What tool? Also, it'd help to make extra splash screens of different resolutions.

 

[ceriux]

i believe they have to be 800x600

here's the tool for anyone who wants to try.

Try doing more of those in random maps, maps such has gertenheld_forest... You can try dropping some stuff around (firewood or cast spells) and play with the weather. Or maybe some nice spot on a map you think that looks nice, or a spot with a boss chamber and maybe in the middle of a fight, i dunno. Those are still pretty good though, excluding the minor "issue" o the 3rd one

thats a screenshot strait from the game menu thats not an issue, it wont be there when you guys install that one....

I think it would be cool if we could have something like Hl2 but it shows you a random map picture when you load the game up.

Start up #1 = Keledros prelude
Start up #2 = Thornlands
Start up #3 = Helena
...

I don't think that is possible so.. :-(

 

[ceriux]

why not what ever last map your character was on? that would be cool =)

 

[Thothie]

Ehhh... It might be possible to have the game copy a random set of images files from one folder to another on exit or something...

Still, kinda like The Observatory there... Gives hope that someone may actually work on that map someday... Albiet, I suspect it'd be a hella complicated one.

This should be the new splash.

If you really want to take good shots, you should start at your highest resolution possible, and if your card allows it, use drivers to force AA and AF to their maximum values, and instead of resizing the original pic, move down resolutions: i.e. start at 1280 x 1024, move down to 1024 x 768, and 800 x 600, etc. although I realize those are all square

That'd be awesome.. like a slide show showing different lands to explore.
Whenever I load the game, I sit for a second while looking at all server maps (edana) available and can't think of where to start my adventure. If there was a huge landscape of alahandra (spelled poorly) in the background, it would perhaps give me the motivation to load it up and be in the middle of that field grinding n such.

We actually DO have this functionality in MSS, heh.

FFS Miller, check your post dates! Gotta enough problems with zombies in the video game world as it is without you necro'ing things up.

Kinda comes with HL2 as mentioned... I suppose if we *really* wanted to, we could integrate a resource wallpaper changer, even change it based on the client's time of day, but it wouldn't be worth the extra space the TGA's would soak up in the betapack.
