CarLuver69's Menu Mod V1 - OFFICIAL THREAD [POSTPONED]

Postby CarLuver69 » Sun May 16, 2010 12:09 pm

Alright guys, I plan on modding EVERY single loading screen in the entire game. I will keep you guys updated, and so for the first official screenshot, here it is:

Splash Screen

I spent 3 hours doing this picture, believe it or not. It works in game. And yes, I typed up the entire copyright...

MORE TO COME!

Very nice main game loading screen, good work with it. :) Make sure that all the text hasn't mistakes, curious choice have added it. The car windows can have a better look adding more white on the frontal one to create a reflection effect, like is for the side window, because actually seems that it there isn't. :wink:

Yeah, it's really hard doing the windows. I might end up redoing the beetle, because I saved a PSD file (so I can edit it later).

I updated the splash screen, the windows should be looking 10X better now. What do you guys think? I also fixed a typo, I was up at 3am and didn't notice it.

Very nice improvement work, now the car windows look much better. :) Good background, but maybe now it results too dark and contrasting, was better have a bit more of blue where there are the writes, like before.

I'll fix that, I forgot to change the opacity of the background objects (like the golden gate, big ben, etc.)

edit: Fixed

Much better, now it's perfect. Very nice result, I find the background better than the first image showed. :)

Hmm, they look too white. More shiny. That's a basic result.

Just thought I'd show you guys all the hard work I just finished doing to ensure that everything lines up correctly -

Image

That's a lot of guides! I took the veh_bk.jpg image, took a screenshot in game, built everything over it (got the images), made guides, etc. I put a lot of effort into this.

Edit: Just made an alpha channel, here is what it looks like:

Good idea! That will be useful for anyone who wants to mod the menu screens.......such as me. :D

Once youre done, or anytime youre free, can you tell me what the file names are, which format they have to be and their dimensions? Thanks.
