DaMegaFish Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well, Im finally digging into and have a good start. Im not rushing things though and will be releasing more skins in packs every day or so when I finish them. Just keep checking back to see what Im doing, and LEAVE SOME FEEDBACK! I want to make sure Im not just wasting a ton of time doing these. UPDATE JUNE 12-Did the Booking Match Area...Leave Feedback! Also, credit to FINisher for the task bars which are TEW05/07 Themed. Credit to the graphics crew from WreSpi for the renders of the arenas.

FINisher Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 2 hours? Seems quite long. I did all the 137 screens in 7-8 hours. [url]http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=32007[/url] Altough, might I add: I just edited the background, some boxes and borders, I really didn't make anything of my own so.. But hmm. What I did was that I used a lot of rectangular Marquee tool, rounded all the boxes and text boxes (Those that have a programmed place in the game, as in this picture of yours the 5 boxes, all the banner (News to Hall of immortals + Around the globe news links)) and selected inverse or something like that, so it selected the exact opposite areas of the picture. That way it was very easy to edit the background without worrying about the "programmed parts" of those images. You can't edit those 'cause they are on the outside of the area you have selected :) Hope this could add a little speed in the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMegaFish Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah, most the other screens are going faster, the main thing was getting the process down because then it was just a box and use my delete key having it delete to the color I needed. Just finding the process and changing little things like the tabs in the Around The Globe section, redoing borders, the light bulb, getting the BlurCat area to fit right then doing that bar. It all started because I saw a picture of the webpage screen from WMMA and wondered why adam didnt just keep the color like that. So then I copied that Jpeg, put it over the website graphic and stared cutting holes in it and stuff. Anyway, cleaning up that messy medium quality jpeg was a disaster. Ill probably release a temp pack after I finish the last couple pages all from the home screen, that way it all feels like that part is done. Most the other screens dont hurt my eyes as bad so I might do them in a slightly different order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMegaFish Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Okay, so here is an updated pack, please let me know if there is anything else to fix on these but I think they should be good. This covers the main webpage, Results screen, News, world diary, promotion wars, power 100, end of year awards, and pop-ups from the website. It says part one, but dont worry there isnt a part 2 yet.

Clarity Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I like it, but it the index bar looks a little clunky with the power 100 looking brighter than the rest. Give it a bit of a clean up, use the grid function and very soon you could have a page that looks like this I managed to create this in about an hour: [B](picture now removed)[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMegaFish Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah, I guess I never realized the Power 100 looked that much bigger, thats probably because I dropped "the" off the front of it so it would fit better, looks like that was a double edged move. Also, I like yours alot, dont get me wrong, it looks a little too flashy for my taste, plus like I said I was trying to keep it mostly consistant with BlurCats page from the WMMA screens I have. One thing I noticed on yours is it looks like you left boarders off the pictures, any reason why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMegaFish Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Try a white one, thats what I used and it looks very clean and sharp. Also, I fixed the Power 100 area and here is the new download link. [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/121305678/ScreensP100.zip.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should update your first post with the new pic[/QUOTE] I just did, I added a couple other screens of it too. :) Now one screen that looks crazy is the Hall Of The Immortals. Im not sure how much I want to bother with it because its mainly a fluff screen that most users might look at once then never really bother with again later...Maybe if I think of an idea later Ill try to whip something up, who knows, I might just change the browser top and leave it.

I just kinda figured BlurCat could transfer over and be a Wrestling/MMA site, or who knows, doesnt WMMA take place in 96? Maybe Blurcat just trasfered over completely, idk, It doesnt bother me that its a stab at a MMA site in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, nice stuff man. Im a total noob in comparison to your work. Ive got some ideas for the other screens but its just a matter of dragging it out and getting to work on them you know? Edit-You know how I was talking about the light bulb in the upper right that notifys you? Well...its actually just an ! according to the help files if I read right. I still think it looks more like a light and makes more sense like the light comes on when you need to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing this on the boards here for a few years now. A tip for you.. Save your initial page as a .psd file in photoshop.. You can reuse the top section for every additional page for the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMegaFish Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 I actually saved everything as PSP's because I know it keeps my layers, I can copy stuff clean without the distortion when it comes to Jpegs too. See, I know a little bit! Thats how I was able to fix all the Power 100 parts in 5 mins instead of taking more time fixing each one to look the same.
