Alternative 2d-content

(1/5) > >>

Kahvipannu84:
If I'll do some alternative 2d stuff, I'll post it here.

Here's a quick small change, the rank icons. I found them a bit hard to distinguise from each other, so I made them a bit easier to figure out straight away the rank. I kept the same style.

The folder "ranks" inside the zip file goes to "ufoai../base/0pics.pk3.
Inside the pk3 file overwrite the folder "pics/ranks" with the one you downloaded here.

Download from gamefront:

hi. it looks nice. but IMHO it should use a transparent background

Rememeber if you want to contribute, it is an open source game, we only allow free content. Image you use to create your own content must be free.

H-Hour:
I like the style very much, but I can only see the preview images. I don't seem to be able to download from gamefront (file not found). You can attach them to your forum post or PM me and I'll give you an email address to send to.

If you would you consider a few changes we could probably use them to replace our existing rank images.

1. If possible, could you create them with no background (alpha)? This will make them more flexible if we ever change our UI.

2. Would it be possible to create the ranks at a higher resolution, at least 256x256? This will give us more flexibility to use them in other ways in the future as well.

And just my personal style preference: could you make the continents on the planet pop out a bit more, so it is clearer to the viewer that they're looking at the earth? This is kind of central to the Phalanx logo and ethos.

Kahvipannu84:
I wasn't sure if the game allows for transparency, and I really didn't spent much time with these, just made some replacement quick. :D  But I can work them more.  Do I have to work with alpha channels, or could I just use a file format that uses transparency?

Making the continents more clear shouldn't be a problem, and only pic I used from net for this was some random earth pic which I edited and added the color. I can find a pic that is quarantied to be free to use, or use own one. Making them bigger too propably if I remake them totally and spend more time with them.

Oh man, I know nothing about that.. hehe. What ever suits the best, if someone finds use for them, I'm more than willing to share.

ShipIt:
Looks really good.  8)

I would like the stars more kind of circled around the earth instead of being strictly lined up, but that maybe would not fit the military background ?

Just in case you can solve the technical stuff H-Hour mentioned, would you contribute this work?


Ah, oh, just saw you already did answer my question. Would be great.
