FINisher Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Redpack [B]DONE![/B] Bluepack [B]DONE![/B] Greypack [B]DONE![/B] [IMG]http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/preview1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/preview4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/preview5.jpg[/IMG] Man.. It took me about.. 8 hours to do this. But I did it! Still some really minor things there, don't let them bother. Not every pixel is where it should be because of the original screens (and my lack of skill :P), and since it would have taken forever to adjust every single minor detail to perfection.. I took the easy way but it was still very rocky. I don't get paid for this :P Altough as the forum was down and moved, I re-edited some of the screens to make the buttons and boxes look better and the lines straight so it's not that bad. I used the old TEW 2005 background, slightly added red colour. And now that I have all the 137 images done finally, it is really easy to change the colour scheme between different variations of colours of that same theme. If different colours are requested, I'll be happy to make those. This screenpack is mostly for myself, but seeing that other people didn't like those original screens I'm really happy to share this mod with the community :) Be sure to say something if you end up using this theme so the time that I spent doing these and the hundreds of mouseclicks and shortcut presses would not feel so hard and exhausting! And also feel free to mod these forward; I kind of deleted almost all the borders around boxes, if you would like those back, just add those yourself! :) Enjoy! Comments and feedback are highly welcome! And remember to back up original screens if you do not like these and you want those old back without reinstalling the game ^^ Details: 137 Screen images! Colours Red, Blue and Grey. Size is just 6MB, whereas the original were 16MB large 9 Graphics images! 6 Taskbar images! Screens go to Screens folder, Graphics to the Graphics folder and Taskbar images to the Taskbar folder :PP Redpack (Contains taskbar and graphics also): [URL="http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/FINishersRedpack.rar"]DOWNLOAD HERE[/URL] Bluepack (just Screens): [URL="http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/FINisherBluepack.rar"]DOWNLOAD HERE[/URL] Greypack (just Screens): [URL="http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/FINisherGreyPack.rar"]DOWNLOAD HERE[/URL] Taskbar and Graphics pack: [URL="http://koti.mbnet.fi/sadhappy/TaskbarsGraphics.rar"]DOWNLOAD HERE[/URL] [URL="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45851"]FINisher Basic B&W[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Anthony Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Very nice. Are you going to do the taskbar too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I guess. But I think I'll be doing the screens first, and then go to the other taskbars and banners. We'll see :) And thanks for the comment! I also noticed that I need to make those black areas bigger.. As I edited those they kind of shrinked in the making, as I had to erase the borders.

FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Redpack [B]DONE![/B] 137 Screens, 9 Graphics images and 6 taskbar images!! See the first post! :) It's great to be back at GDS forums! Enjoy the pack, and remember to comment and give feedback! :) Still to come: Blue and Grey TEW05 pack; They shouldn't take long, as I just have to change the colours :) Feel free to request!

CaliCurbStomppa Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 damn dude thats amazing... wow i didnt expect nobody to do this. I wanted to make one down the road but too lazy to do one. Once again great job. Im using it though, btw u should make a dark blue like from tew2007 if u can. I thought that was pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Do you mean TEW07 or 05? TEW07 had quite dark grey screens to begin with but I don't know, maybe. And as I said I will be doing Blue and Grey version of these TEW05 screens as they are really easy and quick to do as I now have done them in Red. Glad you like them! And yes it was really frustrating to do all those 137 screens one by one + those other images.. Altough I now know ALL the shortcuts :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 TEW2007. I never played 2005 so i dunno about the gfx for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadFurDay Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Wow, thanks a lot! It's rather basic but will do the job way better than the default screens :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yeah.. I think that you just can't make those screen as perfect as you could if you do all those screens from the start. But that takes eternity. HHUK is doing fine job altough I think it will take him sometime to get those all screens completed. Prove me wrong, it just good that people have more alternative screens to choose from! I just edited those originals and messed with the background, that's why some of the text has some minor pixel disturbance. But thanks for the feedback :) And some new info: I am now doing the Blue screens! Shouldn't take too long, I'll probably get those finished during today!

FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Bluepack READY, and I did separate pack for the Graphics and Taskbar which stay the same even if the colour changes! :) I think those Bluescreens look really really good! Next one: Grey / Sepia. Maybe both. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsplex Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Blue looks good as it doesn't draw as much attention to the large black voids/boxes of old. Personally I think that scheme would be even better with a thin white or light grey border around the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Aaaaaand Greypack is done :) But from the three I will be using the blue one most of the time and the others just for the sake of changing the theme. My work here is done :) I'm also really happy with the size of these screens as these are way much smaller than the original screens and even run faster than the originals if that is even possible (TEW08 is just so fast compared to previous games of the series).

BadFurDay Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks! I picked the grey pack out of the three, it's the one that looks the best to me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksta Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Can you maybe post a picture of the main screen from the blue pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I actually did the main title screen completely new :P If this is what you mean by main screen, this is the one that comes up when you start the game: EDIT: see first and next post of mine :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksta Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Bah I should have been more specific. I meant the web site screen. Sorry for any inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I removed the banner so it might have confused you. If you mean the first website image that comes when you go to game, it is the first preview image that I have on the first post, its the one with the red colour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksta Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 So It still has the same font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Mmm.. Yes it has? I just removed the banner, that is all. It still is the same website image with just different background image and colour of it :) Download and test it, it's just 3MB's pack. Altough I recommend loading the taskbar and graphics with it as it looks way better and doesn't glitch with the old taskbars and graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Bump: Almost four and half hundred views yet almost no comments? :o Just overnight there was about a hundred views alone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Great improvement. I wanted to mod the original screens but couldn't even think where to start since i wanted to scrap mostly everything. This'll give me a good base to work from. Going with the red pack myself, since I'm a sucker for the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurrikane Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks for these, I'm now using the blue screen mod which has made the game a lot better to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks, glad you like them :) And yes, as I said, feel free to mod there forward and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasphemywebleed Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Not really liking them if i'm being honest,they are just really blurry and they hurt my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Nice to hear a negative comment :) And yes I had to blur much of those borders and boxes etc. because of the original screens and the way I had to change the background without touching the original text boxes. Altough I find it kind of funny as you say that these hurt your eyes; The original screens hurted mine. But, to each of his/hers own like someone said in another topic. :) Thanks for the feedback!
