Another new menu bakground

[Hatsjoe]

Based on the first one, here's another menu background. I don't like it as much as i liked the previous one but if you compare the original 04-bdrop.jpg with the original 00-bdrop.jpg you'll see why that is. It's just a much less interesting pov and subject me thinks.
Suggestions are welcome. (i m still looking for another star background. if someone has one, let me know)

@ DevUrandom: If you want a 1024*1024 to replace 04-bdrop.jpg, just let me know and i ll post it here after i found new stars

good work! much better then the original one.

I do have to admit, these sure do "pop out" at you much more than the old crappy ones.

Nice work!

I don't suppose you do requests?  The title screen that we have now that writes "wz100"  (with the 2 & z merged) isn't that appealing to me.  wz_logo3 is the one I don't think fits well.  wz_logo4 is a bit better, but I dislike the merged letters.

w0000t! Sure I want one!
And I bet everyone will thank you if they get into the game.

Personally I like the first one better, but this one is just as cool.
I see it's a remake of an already existing background... it looks very cool, much better than the original.

Anyway, in this picture, the satellite seems to be a bit 'greyed-out', as if it was inside the earth's grey atmosphere.
I think you could improve it even more by increasing the contrast on the satellite or something, so that you could distinguish clearly between both surfaces (the satellite's and the earth's).

what title screen is it that you mean? i can't find wz_logoX files in my warzone directory ? or do you mean the site logo or something ?

I'll post one 1024*1024 png later today

They are both remakes of originals. I hope I can remake all of the original backgrounds

you're right, the satellite is influenced by earths atmosphere/glow effect. I'll see what i can do about it

wow that would be awesome!

Those are only in trunk (see http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/warzone/trun ... es/bdrops/, click on the number after the file name to see the image itself.

Maybe I ll try something when I have some more time. Have to study now

I ve reworked the background:
Replaced Earth and Cloud maps with high res images (there was some pixellation in the lower half)
Replaced the stars background
Disabled the glow effect on the satellite to make it look less "washed out" => Do you think it looks out of place now ?

If you like it, This is a 1024*1024 PNG version that can be used in game.
Tell me if I'm using to much bandwidth plz
Comments welcome as usual

Neat!

No, i think it just fits perfectly now.... but i think you should put some more star, not coloured as in the first version though

Go find or make me a star texture then.
I ve been searching real hard

* Look no further.

* Hubble Telescope Photo Gallery

* Can't imagine not finding something there... but if not, it is still a glorious journey.

Believe it or not, I already did.
It contains mostly special anomalies and stuff. What I need is a plain boring black space with stars. I'll see if i can come up with something.

[doom3r]

btw, those should be more realistic

Something life real-life maybe?  ;D
