Ok here is my first new .tga for a morrowind splash screen(loading screen)

It uses screen shots i found on the site

[url]http://www.kastek.net/Splash_TR_M6_1.tga[/url]

you can download it from there... it might give you a 404 not found but not sure... it will still start up the download box

I dont know if this is possible but could i have the files for the other maps so i can get new screen shots to make these

I was expecting better, honestly. Most of us can copy-and-paste screenshots then airbrush over them. Try something more artistic. BUT NO LENS FLARE.

ya i was tring to wip something together to figure it out and run it in game

it looks better when run in-game

i was using the photoshop's clone tool so it wasn't just copy and paste but i know what you mean starting a new one but first have to start taking my own screen shots

Look at an official splash screen. Then make one that would fit in with those. I think this one right next to an official one, would make this one really stand out and not work well with the official ones. As far as I remember, the MW splash screens were images of creatures, then fell off into sketches. Try the same technique with the Hlaalu building. Also, the clonining needs to be taken care of.

Edit: here's one of Kikaimegami's http://morrowind.kikaimegami.com/etc/wallpapers/SplashScreenFlameAtronach.jpg

It's pretty good, still needs some fleshing out. But you if you put your's next to this one, they should look like the same person did it (quality wise).

these would have to replace the official splash screens because these are trying to add TR buildings and stuff to the
Splash Screens

but the lines and fading off i can do

Kicon · Post by **Kicon** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 10:24 pm

ok well i tried to fade off into a sketch but it looks awful so i think if i replaced the ENTIRE collection with creatures and buildings the way i do it it will look good

obviously I will make the objects blend into the background the first was just a WIP

TR is not in the business of replacing Beth made things. We add to, but do our best not to alter what was laid before us.

Sorry to be a bother, but is there another format you could post besides .tga? I'm having an impossible time trying to view them.

Noirgrim · Post by **Noirgrim** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:41 am

I think you need to practice your photoshop skills.

Kicon · Post by **Kicon** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 6:16 am

@Noirgrim yes you have a point i am going to try a new format for my next one we will see how it goes

@Haplo yes i can get you a different format but this is what the official splashes use so i use it as well for image viewing i suggest gimp it is free ware and is a very good editing tool

Kicon · Post by **Kicon** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 9:58 am

ok here is the WIP of the new splash theme, incorporates oblivion ideas as well you can download it from

Replace the TES3 Morrowind thing with the one from this picture:

http://www.sfondideldesktop.com/Images-Games/Morrowind/Morrowind-0005/Morrowind-0005.jpg

Remember to play a little with the tolerance index in case you're using the magic wand tool. It's not bad but it doesn't fit with Beth's theme suit.

I tried to do something like this a long time ago. What can I say? It's cool but it's also a hog of resources. Maybe if we can write a program that converts a file from a compressed format such as jpeg to targa. Keep it up!

You can also use this logo:

[url=http://imageshack.us][img]http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3747/trlogomy3.png[/img][/url]

It's the Official TR Morrowind logo, even though we've kinda stopped using them.

Kicon · Post by **Kicon** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 7:49 pm

thanks for the comments and the logo is nice i think i am going to play around with it for the new splashes

angelus6 · Post by **angelus6** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:40 pm

ok, it's looking a lot better but the "Elder Scrolls III" text at the top isn't good. im not a huge fan of the black outline a it doesn't match the rest of the text at all. so yeh, nice work but fix that text

Kicon · Post by **Kicon** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:38 pm

sure i can do it in a few ways though

with all the text outlined in black

with none of the text outlined

with it outlined in a tanish brown color

angelus6 · Post by **angelus6** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:40 pm

the black outline would be fine. just match it the other text. ie. same type of outline. try using either the drop shadow function or using the 'burn' tool

hmm the burn tool sounds like a good idea i will try it

well my new format for the splashes takes up LESS memory!!:)

sirwootalot123 wrote:these are alright, but dont fit with the other splash screens at all...

well these are new ones that will be used instead of the Originals wich i will redo to match my format

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 7:59 am

It's already been told before. We're not going to overwrite Beth's original splash screens.

well my new format for the splashes takes up LESS memory!!

Targa is the only supported format for MW-engine splash screens. I thought of a program that may convert the files to tga and move them to the splash screens folder.

And in case you missed it... You can use this title because it's easier to cut and paste without looking so weird.
