Title: menu backrounds, etc
Post by: Darwin on August 21, 2009, 06:23:54 PM
well, we need new ones in a "eragon style" so who's gonna make them? (sib has enough work) Tintin?
Title: menu backrounds, etc
Post by: Tintin on August 21, 2009, 06:32:33 PM
I don't know if i could be much help. Do you mean i actually have to put them into the game cause i have no idea how to do that. I might be able to find/make some backgrounds however. My paintshop skills aren't that good though.

Does Arya ever ride Saphira? I can't remember.
How about something like this?
(http://i25.tinypic.com/17tnpz.jpg)

I could edit it a bit. Cover her up and give her elf ears.

Post by: Darwin on August 21, 2009, 07:15:10 PM
dont know if she does...

look in the textures folder, the backrounds are in it, please change the menus too, thanks :)

I'll have to download python and work out how to use it
Title: menu backrounds, etc
Post by: Goromous on August 22, 2009, 12:16:25 AM
It doesn't really make a difference if she did or not, right? Cause, I mean, there are other elves who ride dragons in the Eragon world, right? And in our mod there will be. So, it could just mean a random person? Make sense? Looks good, btw.

@tintin
why python? you just have to edit the textures in the textures folder?!

I asked Janlulhannes how to do it and he said i'd have to use the module system.

Do you mean in the actual game folders or the module folder?

What files do i need to edit?

Got another one. I had to edit clothes onto her. I didn't do a very good job. :( Still haven't figured out how to get them in game. Captain Lust is helping me with it.

but a bit more blue and less black..., maybe try red
Title: menu backrounds, etc
Post by: Sibylla on August 22, 2009, 10:39:33 PM

& Tintin if your working on Photoshop or psp try turning the layer's attribute to add, multiply or screen it'll fix the white glitches on the picture.

lol leave everything as it is & remove "inheritance cycle mount & blade "
then replace it with the new logo :) after you scale it down so it doesn't cover the dragon in the background.
