VBigB Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Since just like TEW2016 this game can use custom loading screens, I decided I would jump start this. I've made a custom template that tries expose as much of the background as possible. The file below has a psd and png version of the template Link to the file (let me know if it doesn't work): http://www.mediafire.com/file/3zrtyg77o429sex/Template_Updated.rar/file Sample image: http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/f223/x5o5zzr19lps6l5zg.jpg Note: It may be useful to just share properly sized backgrounds without the template applied as some Skin makers may have custom templates for the loading screen. This way users can just apply which ever template they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBigB Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yeah I saw that. It was posted after I had already posted this. Still this thread is mostly just for background images. People had shared some pretty good collages for TEW2016 loading screens which I definitely made use of. Thanks for putting that together. I may actually make my own skin this time around.

Blackman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'm not really motivated to make some this time around. It would be better if the stat boxes were below the bio box, so a part of the background would be totally visible. Maybe 50% opacity would be an option? But it still looks ok I guess. Definitely prefer the full opacity. The other version looks especially awkward with your example pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely prefer the full opacity. The other version looks especially awkward with your example pic. Yeah I hear you. Everything centered works great for generic backgrounds but not for people. Even something like I've mocked up below would be better for anything more complex. I did shrink the long gold bar and the long black bar so I have have no idea if it would work in the context of the game. Ideally it would be nice to have 50% of the screen clear.

VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Anyway I tried something a little different - the top left corner and the 1 pixel black border I left opaque to keep it matched with the default side and top bars of the rest of the interface. - the big bars (black & gold) and the white elements are at 50% opacity. - the background in the boxes is at 25% opacity http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/4240/8wc5xb5xgjn94y1zg.jpg http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/e0cc/9xc6cq040q81bs6zg.jpg http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/18b1/vrqn8onyi0oclnbzg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Man I also just realized that mediafire is resizing my images. Never really used it before so that won't do. Edit: Okay I figured it out. There are 2 ways to grab a link to the image and one of them results in a reduced size image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 <p>Well I threw a bunch of wallpapers on the template and multi-advanced to see how things looked.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway in an effort to allow us to see more of our custom backgrounds unobstructed these are some changes I'm going to test out.

VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well here's my first attempt at changing things. Not sure the "processing bar can be that small, so far I haven't seen anything spill out but it is a possibility. Anyway time for a break. http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/590a/37o6hj5hryb227lzg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yeah that tip bar needs to go. It was a pain in WMMA5. In the end, people still didn't know you could pause with the spacebar. XD You might also experiment to reduce the big profile screen, because I don't think lots of profiles extend the limit. But these last ones look a lot better.

VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Based on what I'm seeing as far as character limit in the worker profiles in the editor, it looks like I could safely reduce the size by about a third without running into issues with spillover. Basically make the bottom of the worker profile box line up with the bottom of the psychology line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBigB Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 <p>So it was a pretty good guess regarding the maximum size of the profiles.</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/f223/x5o5zzr19lps6l5zg.jpg</span></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBigB Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Any chance someone can post a template? I posted an updated template in the first post of the thread.

But judging from the WWE screens, you might like RW more. I do want to get back into doing more renders at some point but I'm not sure when I'll have time to start. I got a new beast of a PC in November after my old one had a hard drive failure (it was time...it was getting pretty long in the tooth). I do have Daz set up but don't have everything moved over yet. Nope I'm not a real world person. In TEW2016 I strictly played CV, CV97 and Thundervers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Adam has an ear for moving those stats to the bottom as in the end, it doesn't really matter and the test backgrounds do look decent enough with that level of transparancy.
