New design for gui image

TheSeventhEmerald · 2010-09-06 10:56:42

See it. I change the pause menu and the "open sonic" dialog in red at first of the level
Want it in my site:

and give me your opinions. Thanks

SurgeChris · 2010-09-06 12:40:27

Those are cool, but I have another act sign (I mean the "Act 1", "Act 2", and "Act 3") design. Tell me your opinion, too!

These are really great! Please put your name on the spritesheet.

Did you make it from scratch? If you did, can we put it under the gpl?

A-OK, Alexandre!

Not really. It first starts out with a simple recolor when I was still beginning to modify the game. Then, I tried gradient recoloring with MS Paint. After that, I decided to erase the tree thingies on the old ones. I recolored the rectangle surrounding "Act" with a darker color, and replaced the fonts with the ones in font.png by Ste Pickford.

By the way, change

    source_file     images/gui.png
    source_rect     0 141 144 32
    frame_size      48 32
    hot_spot        0 0

with

    source_file     images/acts.png
    source_rect     0 0 135 30
    frame_size      45 30
    hot_spot        0 0

once you download the file.

Also, rename the file once you download it. It's the only thing I hate about www.tinypic.com.

Alexandre · 2010-09-06 15:16:20

Well, the font from Ste Pickford is okay to use because it's free.

but if you don't have full rights over your work, then we'll have to replace it eventually. I guess just the numbers 1, 2 and 3 are problematic, is that right?

Alexandre · 2010-09-09 15:36:14

SonicChris, we'd like to use these for 0.1.4 (we're releasing in on the next few days), but we can't do it unless you make it fully original. You have made these graphics with a really nice style, and it would be a shame to drop them.

Is it possible to fix this?

SurgeChris · 2010-09-10 00:45:01

Yes, only the numbers are problematic. By the way, you can use them. However, if you want the original, you will have to wait until next week.

Alexandre · 2010-09-10 01:24:53

Okay. I'm taking off the "act" icons for now. We'll release 0.1.4 within a few days. If it's possible to finish the icons until about Saturday, they'll probably be included in 0.1.4. Otherwise it will have to wait some months until 0.2.0.

If it's next Saturday (September 18), I can. On the other hand, if it's tomorrow, I can't.

Maybe these pictures will do for dialog windows:
With the extra corner: http://i064.radikal.ru/1009/bc/f86a00586d87.png
W/o the extra corner: http://s005.radikal.ru/i211/1009/84/7ef695ef4d94.png

And yeah, the only thing used is corner coordinates of the original images' dialogs. Everything is pretty much original (the colors used are a part of Blues palette included in GIMP).

Hello d1337r and welcome to the forums.

Thank you for the contribution. It looks good, but unfortunately we can't accept it if it (or some part of it) is based on the original images' dialogs. That's because the old dialogs are based on a ripped image.

Would you make it from scratch?

d1337r · 2010-09-21 15:02:36

Well, if that corner can't be reused, you can use

and

for the dialogs. This time it is made fully from scratch, and is a bit darker (so the colored words for So... sorry, Surge will look more noticeable). And yeah, I'm not a good designer, but when graphics need to be made, they do.

Alexandre · 2010-09-22 01:21:57

Hey d1337r, it looks pretty nice in-game. The contrast has improved compared to the old one. Is it possible to make the borders a bit thiner?

For anyone who wants to try it out, this is the sprite script:

// Confirm Box
sprite SD_CONFIRMBOX
{
    source_file     images/dialogbox_small.png
    source_rect     0 0 179 73
    frame_size      179 63
    hot_spot        0 0

    // default
    animation 0
    {
        repeat      TRUE
        fps         8
        data        0
    }
}
    
// Dialog Box 
sprite SD_DIALOGBOX
{       
    source_file     images/dialogbox_big.png
    source_rect     0 0 272 68
    frame_size      272 68
    hot_spot        0 0

    // idle
    animation 0
    {
        repeat      TRUE
        fps         8
        data        0 
    }
}

d1337r · 2010-09-22 03:22:12

Yes, it is possible. Here are four new images, 1px and 2px thinner for each dialog box:
http://s48.radikal.ru/i120/1009/31/c7d6fc61a490.png - dialog, -1px

http://s60.radikal.ru/i167/1009/d0/714ec9083970.png -dialog, -2px

http://i054.radikal.ru/1009/84/f965f7a1798a.png -exit, -1px

http://s43.radikal.ru/i100/1009/4e/045cfc36e45b.png -exit, -2px

I think the 1 px thinner looks better .

I think so too, but included -2px versions just in case you need them.

Alexandre · 2010-09-23 01:06:50

Okay then. 1px thinner it is.

d1337r, could you please make a spritesheet with your name in it? We're gonna use it.

And also put both images in one spritesheet

d1337r · 2010-09-23 13:48:07

Here it is. The pixel font carefully not ripped from any video game

Alexandre · 2010-09-23 15:38:41

Nice. Thank you, d1337r.
