Little adversity…

NeXoSE

Few months ago i complete the startup screen image for my Revelation Mod. Today i want to edit it to draw some color on that……BUT…i can not found the PSD file …Hmmmmmm I must lost it :-(. So always remember backup your original file like 3DS, PSD etc, or you may need to redo that thing…

But, fortunately i done this job with layer mode in photoshop LOL.

Now take look here:

NeXoSE

Humm…. Looks im not only lost the startup screen :roll: The AI file pilots_population.ini also…not lost…but…encoded… I cannot open it lossless…

Gisteron

so, never encode it with bini unless you have programmed the app yourself and know what youre going for.

Good thing!

DropBox is my 4th favorite web invention; after Google, Wikipedia, and theStarport.

Such a small thing… but implemented oh-so-well.

Make a file on your laptop, and use it at work. Modify it on your phone, and it is ready for you when you get home. Use somebody else’s PC, and grab the file from the 'Net.

Effortless, wireless, sync across all of your devices. Point your Data directory to DropBox, and the rest happens automatically.

No computer should be without it… as you just proved, NeXoSE!

yeah, I just found out about Dropbox the other day… I just might start using it now

Great looking startupscreen

NeXoSE

Thank you. now I’m learning photoshop to rework my starsphere and etc:

Gisteron

wow, the menu front is great. how did you manage this “old screen” horizontal lines? sure a simple trick but looks amazing.

NeXoSE

About the “old screen” horizontal lines.

You can use fill function in photoshop to do it.

1, Make a 1x3 Pixel new image.

2, Make a new layer in this image. Fill this layer with white. Select the new layer, We will have a image like this:

□ Pixel 1
□ Pixel 2
□ Pixel 3

then, delete pixel 2 and pixel 3. we will got

□ Pixel 1
■ None
■ None

3, Delete the background layer.

4, Click Edit->Define Pattern. Name it and OK.

5, Make a new image (main image).

6, Select Fill tool. And set fill mode to Fill Pattern. Select the image defined in step 4.

7, LOL.

wow, great, thanks
what a cool addition to any mod! i think i make it an option. choose between different screen sets and depending on that either a modern or an old screen
thank you.

Hummm…… Actually that is a image name is front_freelancerlogo.tga, so it only works for main screen…

odd… everything just says “open in new window” but I can’t figure out how to view. They aren’t links or anything

Gisteron

i know, nexose. however, to engine fx could be applied a permanent onscreen texture emission (functionality similar to the light flashs on capital ship destruction in several mods) and the texture could be such a pattern. nevermind i thought about usage of it in the menu only but the ingame implementation is not impossible, too.

Hmm, I thought I was the only one. Weird.
