New primary Load Screen? (Contest?)

Post by **Teancum** » Mon May 21, 2007 1:17 am

If you guys come up with a snazzy new UI, that's fine with me.

Ok, some of these files are pretty big, so I'm gonna post'em as links. They're art like Schizo's. All you'd hafta do it edit'em a bit (add a logo, maybe resize, and crop).
Anyways, here they are:
Star Wars Art 1 - Bespin
Star Wars Art 2 - Hoth
Star Wars Art 3 - Bespin
Star Wars Art 4 - Vader (Either on the Death Star or Star Destroyer
Vyse's SWBF2 Christmas

Like?

[EDIT]
Ah, fixed the links. Um, (I forget his name) gave me the link to where he got that art. I'll try to find it.

a 501st loading screen would be nice as well since thats what SWBF2 is mainly about: Episode 3 and the 501st legion

I do like that hanger picture. Do you guys only want to change it to another picture or do you want the picture to rotate to others?

@Dohnutt: Those were the concept paintings for SW

You know how the SW DVD loads and you get this short 1 sec clip from the movie which brings you to some still picture from the movie and then has a selection screen?

How about something like that

Huh?...

Also some Alderaan screens I found laying around:

I would want it to rotate between pictures (for each time you load a map, not while a map is already loading). Can you please make a seperate loadscreen thing that you can install without the conversion pack?

Also, I think we should just stick to artwork and good glamour shots for loadscreens

To be perfectly honest, I don't really think those Alderaan shots would make a very good primary loadscreen at all. The first reason being, for a primary loading screen, you don't really want to focus on any one single planet. Secondly, the quality of the shots isn't that great either; the graphics need to be on high for it to even be considered a decent loading screen, in my opinion.

I didn't say I wanted Alderaan to be the primary load screen....its just for Alderaan

He is right alderaan doesn't have a loading screen. But the first and last pics have screwed up droids in the background.

I fixed the last screen a while ago. Here's a lower quality version of it:

No offense to you trainmaster611 and thunderforge but those screens dont really look that good at all even with your editing

I really don't see the difference between the two (trainmaster's and Thunderforge's). But they would do well for loadscreens for Alderaan.

Thunderforge · Post by **Thunderforge** » Mon May 28, 2007 4:35 pm

All I did was edit out the funky droid on the right side. It was going to be added as a loading screen except that the droid was messed up, so I edited it out. I didn't touch the picture otherwise.

By the way, Kit Fisto's glowing hands is a bug that Teancum promised to fix.

I still think my load screen for Alderaan is my favorite And it is my map, after all. But this topic is about primary loading screens, not map ones.

Why not just the original concept art for the game?

Thunderforge · Post by **Thunderforge** » Tue May 29, 2007 1:34 pm

I'm all for that one if the SWBattlefront2.com thing in the bottom is cropped or edited out. It wouldn't be that difficult to edit.

Ah... if only the space battles in the game were as action packed as that image (or at least if the enemy could board your ship...)

I like that pic, but it's pretty small. The loading texture is 1024x1024 so we need a 1024x768 or higher pic.

1024x768 as requested

That was my wallpaper for a while

Achronos-117 · Post by **Achronos-117** » Tue May 29, 2007 8:07 pm

Well most the logos and company stuff will be block out by the black part of the loadscreen then we can edit the SWBF2 logo into the bottom right corner
