Scorpius Report post Posted July 21, 2008 (Promose @ Jul 20 2008, 07:55 PM) *Would it be possible to add an option to the game to use an existing file on your computer as the startup background? If it was possible it would solve this.. everyone could have their own version. I like the startup screen, but the greatness wore off after a couple years of playing.. I would add a new pic, but the only thing i have on my computer is ms paint. You CAN make your own or replace it with whatever you want. Just replace login_menu.bmb in your textures folder in your el directory. Make sure its the same dimensions as the original. Then why are people making such a fuss? Just make their own if they don't like it instead of everyone whining it should be changed why is noone working on some general new designs he could offer to the community? hell if my computer wouldnt be broken i would get straight onto that.. hence why i said that lol but i can imagine not everyone knows their way around with graphic programs to create some nice intro screen so maybe some people should step up creating some basic new intro screens that the community can use if they wish to.

Lotheneil Report post Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Did somebody order a dragon? BMP file Sidenote: it would be great if it was possible to create a directory inside EL folder containing login backgrounds the game would pick a random one from each time you start the game Edited July 21, 2008 by Lotheneil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promose Report post Posted July 21, 2008 It's not that hard, really. You just google a picture that you want, save it, trim it to the right size using MS Paint and you're set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpius Report post Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) It's not that hard, really. You just google a picture that you want, save it, trim it to the right size using MS Paint and you're set. well yes of course... but ppl who want new pics and cant do it via the progs i meant are most likely also the people who want to have an really nice screen and not just a downloaded, resized one ^^ #EDIT: very nice picture Loth, would it be possible for you making some nice ice Dragon Intro Screen with having "Eternal Lands" in it somewhere? ^^ Edited July 21, 2008 by Scorpius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulB Report post Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) These all look cool. I am not saying the start up screen sucked cause it does look good but I think what people are trying to say is that the start up screen doesn't look as vibrant as the game itself. Maybe more vivid colors might do the trick. PaulB Edited July 22, 2008 by Paul Brown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulB oh yeh maybe i put that wrong myself as well.. i dont think that the intro screen is bad itself.. i just think its not up to date anymore to how the game is now.. just think the intro screen should enhance finally together with the actual game ^^ p.s.: nice selfmade screens so far here =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyewacket Report post Posted July 23, 2008 I like that one Ateh! Ok as for some of these and using Google then resizing etc....please remember that giving that advice may lead to people altering things that MAY be copyright images. Anyone choosing to download an image for using as their intro screen should either ensure the image they use from the Internet is NOT a copyright image or use it at their own risk.

Vanyel Report post Posted July 23, 2008 In my opinion only 3 of presented above log in screens qualify at all. These are Saint's one and Isenwolf's two. It's funny that most of Eternal Lands log in screens contains graphic unrelated to Eternal Lands. (Between the aforementioned 3 ones I would surely pick Isenwolf's ones. They are more interesting.)

Hannibal Report post Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) I made one up, but I am having some problems converting it to bmp without losing color information, so here is the jpeg file. Download: .jpg Buttons I made for it aswell, there are already the .bmp 8-bit files, they are ready to be used and do not need to be converted.

Ateh Report post Posted July 23, 2008 aTeh, can you edit the font a little, make it look more like the old font? Thanks. idk what the original EL font is and i tried using the one from gallery but it doesnt have the fancy effects and i cant edit it cos im crap \o/ anyway heres the original background ( its a free to use desktop background so no troubles there its not under license or anything ) if you want to mess about with it and do your own : http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w101/no...MB/borealis.jpg and heres the one I made to replace login_back bmp file in textures : http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w101/no...oginBlueSky.jpg P.S fair enough its not an EL screenshot & doesnt include anything from the game, and lets face it we dont all sit and stare at the log in screen but hey im glad i found out this is possible cos I kind of agree that the current log in screen could do with a revamp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
