Yes, you are crazy!

What are the sources for the art?
|
Quite so, it would be great to be able to have a credit message such as:
"Loading screens assembled by Soandso. EverQuest logo and EverQuest II artwork by SOE. Imagery created by many artists including AAA, BBB, CCC." |

Again, warning about the next batch... NSFW. |
Last chance.. may be NSFW.

Batch 33, 130-133

I'll keep the NSFW stuff in the zip file. Heheh. |
These are from azazel1944 again. These are the non-nude versions, of course.
Batch 34, 134-137 http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7...reen144.th.jpg http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9...reen143.th.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5...reen145.th.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/977...reen147.th.jpg |
Last batch. Then I'll upload the whole package when I get a moment. The .zip file has 152 loadscreens, so there's a few I missed when I uploaded them. These aren't a whole lot different from the ones I posted - they just have different angles and what not.
If I have some more time, I'll start on the newer batch as well. azazel1944 for the last batch. Enjoy! Batch 35, 138-141 http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7...reen146.th.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7...reen148.th.jpg http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/407...reen150.th.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/423...reen142.th.jpg |

Ah. Those are in your uifiles folder. You should see a file called EQLS_background_01.tga to EQLS_background_06.tga. Those files are all split up into 6 parts. Just remember to save each of them as a 24-bit Targa file.
Had more time to improve on the new loadscreen template. :) I was able to split up the sections and implement a bit of layering. :D http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/376...hvsample01.jpg If there's enough demand, I could probably start on these new ones. They look so much better, imo. They just take much longer since it's a bit more tricky. I don't think I'll be cranking out 150+ of them in a day, rofl. Edit: loadscreens are finally done and uploaded. Please read the CREDITS_README.txt before asking any questions. Enjoy! http://www.filefront.com/14042319/loadscreens.zip/ Edited signature for this topic and links. :) |
Here's another. Took the sub logo out for usage. :)

Okay, that's all for now. Need to go play some Witcher for a bit and then maybe some EQ. :D

Some of these are copyrighted images that have been removed from other web sites for violation of terms, specifically loading screen art from World of Warcraft. Nothing to worry about for personal use but be warned for distribution.
|
Well the ones I used are from their wallpaper section, so it might be okay for now. Besides, it's not like I'm making any money off it or anything, hehe. ;)
|
I know you have good intentions but Blizzard-Activision has been going after everyone, even those not within states of applicable law. Since a few of those even had copyright statements printed on the image itself, they definately have indisputable proof for action against the distribution of such.
|
Yeah, I'm quite sure if Sony still cared; they'd have a field day with you in court. Awesome work.

Even in the gaming industry, you could imagine the horror stories we had to go through just to get one little teeny tiny minor detail fixed just to print something with their name on it - even though they sent it the way they wanted it. Oh God, George Lucas/LucasArts was even more anal than them, though. :rolleyes: No biggie though. I'll probably just stop using their art alltogether then. It's not even worth the hassle, to be honest. Quote:

Blizzard has always been a company of pride so it's a completely different story with their IP. They actively crawl looking for their productions. |
They should really go after those people who got Horde tattoos then and skin them. :D
|
So is there any way to make it select a random one every time you load or do you just pick your favorite?
|
One way to have the loading screen randomly selected when you start the game would be to load with a batch file like the following.
Note 1: You would need to change your EQ shortcut from pointing to "eqgame.exe patchme" to pointing to your new batchfile. Note 2: This batch file's coding assumes you have installed your load*.jpg files into a folder called "Loadscreens" inside the "Resources" folder of your EverQuest directory. File: eqgame.bat Code:
@Echo OffIf you're using Vista, though, make sure you're working in a directory you have Write permissions in, or have the batch file set to Run as Administrator, or it won't be able to copy the files around as it needs to. |
Awesome. Thanks for that Shendare. :D
I'll pack it in with the next batch I upload. That is, if it's okay with you. |
Feel free. I just threw it together after refreshing my memory on a few DOS commands.
If anyone's concerned about how exactly it works, these are the steps: 1. Verifies that it can see Resources\Loadscreens\load*.jpg 2. Makes sure there's a backup of your original Resources\loadscreen.jpg 3. Runs through the list of files in Resources\Loadscreens to randomly pick one to copy as your loadscreen. 4. Starts EQ and waits for it to finish 5. Restores your original loadscreen from the backup in #2 The way it randomly picks a loadscreen is that it deletes your original loadscreen.jpg file (after having backed it up), then runs through all of the load*.jpg files in Resources\Loadscreen and, for each one, picks a random number from 0-32767 ("%Random%"). If the random number for that particular file is less than 1000 (~1/33 odds), it makes it your loadscreen. If it runs through the whole list of files and none of them ended up getting the 1/33 random chance, it runs through them again until one does. Pretty simplistic, but it gets the job done. :) |
Math makes my head hurt and Baby Jesus cry.
|
These are badass, love them. I cannot wait till I get them installed. Want me to host a rar of them for you ? I am pretty sure I have unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage space on my server account.
|
Sure. Filefront just hosed my login account for some reason, so it would probably be a good idea to get it now since they delete files due to inactivity. I'll let you know when there's a new pack or something so you can update the link whenever possible.
Thanks again. :D |
So are you giving me permission to host your files on my server ? Are the pictures copywrite protected at all before I do this ?
