Really nice picture choice, the only thing that stinks is that 'new game' and 'find servers' blend in too much but that's nothing.

This should be somewhere in the editing forums though. Good release nonetheless.

Yes, very nice splash screen.

I love it! Make one for the Allied too! :)

it sure beats those other guys they have right now :p

i'd take it

jpolakowski-

Im sure ive seen this pic in one of my illustrated WWII books.

Looks good tho GJ.

/downloaded

very nice indeed... maybe if it was possible to put shadows behind the friends, servers, and other buttons they would show up better (just a thought)

wow, that is some great work there, hope you keep making them, looks great

Nice work!! How do you replace the current picture? Where do you put it? :carrot: :carrot:

How come no map has done that yet? That's a good idea (hiding in a hole on the street and I mean standing up in the hole for MGing).

I don't mean t be rude, but what do you mean "finished"? You googled a WWII picture and set it as the splash screen? cool, I guess.

I don't mean to be rude, but making a splash screen is a tad bit more complecated than simply taking a picture and putting it in your dod folder...

I love it! Make one for the Allied too! Why not? If I find another interesting picture, I'll made it :)


maybe if it was possible to put shadows behind the friends, servers, and other buttons they would show up betterI can darker the picture and made a darker version release ?

How do you replace the current picture? Where do you put it?By default, its located "c:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\YourAccount@Email.com\day of defeat\dod\resource\"

How my native language is french (and more, my english is very crappy...)
Maybe the word "finish", haven't the same sense for you and me.

But, if you need more details :

I never take this picture myself, and even did'n't digitalised it and placed on the net.

You right, I browse thx to google a lot of ww2 pictures (but 1 hour of selection...)

When I found the good one for me, I opened my dod folder, download another splash screen to understand how it working (which file format, size, colors, ...)

I search a way to do it in my image editor (psp)
Put some filters, cut the pic, search for the right fonts, ...

It was more a composition work than a creation.

I never said that it was a hard or a long work.

"finish" for me, mean clear something, hard to do or not - Like finishing my coffee or a donuts.

Sorry if my english is bad, I do my best.

:sheep:

jesus christ that's great! MUCH much better than the original one.

would you please tell me how to use this start screen on my own computer? (i'm using steam client to play DoD)

You have to put the files into your c:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\YourSteamAccount@email.com\d ay of defeat\dod\resource\

Outside the Allied spawn in Falaise is a place like this.

Hey man, your english isn't bad, I think it's just a simple misinterpretation! Don't worry, I liked it, I was just trying to see what you meant.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to be rude, even though the dude who replied assumed that I was being sarcastic or something.

I'd be impressed if you painted it by hand, because digging up a photo with Google Image Search, running some color filtering and saving it as a theme background, everyone can do.

shouldnt this thread be in MSA?

Oh man, that is a KILLER picture!!! Two thumbs up!!:D

thats cool man, dont listen to the bashers, their just trying to make themselves feel better.

Meh, I'm still fond of the one I threw together almost 2 years ago...

http://www.catalyststudios.co.uk/penfold/steam_splash.jpg

Pieced together before v1.0 came out (in anticipation) - first used it for the splash screen when everything was done witht he Half-Life/WON front end. I didn't have player models for v1.0 at that point, so I had to use the standard infantry models from the pre-release screenshots.

/Wishes DOD and other STEAM mods had better support for splashgrounds bigger than 800x600, or a better re-size filter.

Better thing would be let us use plain image instead of requiring cut it into weird pieces.

That's freakin beautiful! I always wanted something like that. I kiss your feet byblo.

very pretty. although i dont like that line through the middle of the picture....oh well :P
