Request for Opening Picture
 

I need help to create an opening picture to replace the stock SE5 one I am using now for the SFTC. I have attached the stock bmp just to avoid any confusions about which one I am looking to replace. The artist(s) will naturally get full credit and have total artistic freedom. I am trying to get away from the actual name and want to stick with "SFTC". The TC meaning total conversion and the SF is open to interpretation.

Thanks for any and all help in advance,
PE_Shang

No, I have no art skills.
Yes I do have bananas.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Can you do that in an Avatar form too?

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Easy enough, here you go...

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Oh; still to big. The avatars have to be 48x48. I couldn't get it to shrink down and keep letter integrity.

Can I play this game? Please?...

I can't thank you both enough these are perfect! These are certainly beyond any expectations that I had. Shadowstar thank you for developing the form and layout. None of this would have been possible without your imagination and skills to transfer from thought to picture. David thank you for given it that spit and polish appearance. Considering all that you have given to SE and us at Shrapnel it just wouldn't have felt complete without your personal touch. I simply can not thank you both enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

I dislike asking for another favor considering what all you have already done. However, could I please get one more of the opening logo but with the word "Lite" in one of the corners? I would like to see it in the upper right hand corner above the TC and on plane with the top of the F. You can use all caps, all lower case, whatever "feels right". Personally I had a mental picture of the word "lite" in a fancy font like you see in printed diet adds.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Is this what you mean?.. (attached .bmp version)

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Here is the lite version. I also tried a version with the Lite below the SFTC, let me know if you want to see that.

Edit: David beat me to it, heh. I like his better.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Here is a new avatar. I upped the contrast to make things more visible at the lower resolution and moved the SFTC to the bottom so that it doesn't get glared out by the star.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Again I can't thank both of you enough! I simply can not find the words to properly express my gratitude to you both. The lite version is just what I had in mind.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Ok, you know I can't help having fun...

A new option...

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Don't stop on my account. This is all amazing stuff! Although I still prefer the SFTC and SFTC Lite for the opening screen.

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Ok, how about a full screen intro pic.. (attached)

Here is a sample..

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gifWow, stunning! However, I really don't want to replace the opening screen. I can't really replace it anyway; well ok, I could but I think that is a little outside my rights as a modder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

But I do prefer that red sun over the green one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Request for Opening Picture
 

Here is a red sun version..

Copyrighted. Besides those would only work if this was the "StarFire Total Conversion"... It's the Solar Flares Total Conversion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
