L.C. Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 The top right of the screen -- that thing shows energy, freq, etc. Now in Trench Wars and other SVS zones, the LVZ adds more than that. I've seen timers and score keeping HUD additions to that top right part and it looks like it was already made by VIE.. Who is making those? O_o Cause I could certainly use a graphics artist of that quality to help produce something for Jackpot SVS in the form of a webdesign.
Samapico Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 well it's a simple copy-paste job... You take disp.bm2, add the rows you need, then you take led.bm2 for the numbers, split it in 10 images (0 to 9), then you display the number in your newly-created slot. I could probably provide the LVZ and plugin (I already use similar things), but I suck at graphics Oh, if you want the numbers to show for spectators as well, then it might be better to do like TW and not include the graphic as part of disp.bm2, but a separate image to show right underneath it
L.C. Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 But it has a lighting effect to it, and some of the ones I've seen were pretty advanced looking. I would understand that in Photoshop you would take advantage of the clone stamp tool as well as flipping some of the parts in disp.bm2, but..but....
ThunderJam Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 They are all just a bunch of lvz object#'s that are toggled by the bot during the gameplay. If you are interested in certain stuff for one, might wanna post on the ssdev board.
»Lynx Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 To add the lighting effect, you just need to edit the colours so you can only see the texture, then add all of the files into the same canvas and use the lighting effect on the canvas, then split the images - it should look pretty "professional" again after - but with the possibilities of other disp. backgrounds, I don't know why anybody would want to go to all of that fuss for something that is after all, just VIE looking. Stop living in the past. -Lynx
