New Location-specific Loading Screens

[Pieter Boelen]

It depends on what Windows version you've got; which one do you have?

What do you intend to do for loading screens? Just the ones for your quests? No others, I presume; I'll do those.

 

[Jack Rackham]

I have Windows XP, and yes I plan only to do screens for my quest specific locations.
(That will be something like 90 )

I think this page should explain how to install a font on Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314960
90 loading screens for your quest? That's a LOT! Good luck, mate!
What did you do with those locations? If they're still somewhat similar to their originals, you could just keep the old ones?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Here's another 28 loading screens!

There's a lot there that I've never seen before!
Great work again!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Which one are those? Some are quest stuff and others are a bit hidden, but they are there.
If you want, I can tell you where those locations are used.

 

[Jack Rackham]

Thanks for the link Pieter.
What's in the locations: New characters to interview, new items to find, enemies to defeat, puzzles to solve, secret doors etc. :treas
I hope that I can use some of the existing screens yes.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Sounds very cool, mate! But then it always did, so...

I reckon there's no need to make a new loading screen unless your location actually looks different now though.
Characters, items and enemies in a quest location shouldn't require new loading screens, I think.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

This concludes all locations from the "Outside" folder. And for good measure, the Bonaire waterfall is done now too.

Very good way of sneakily previewing some high-detail ships, there!

i think it's funny how the screenshots look better than what you'd usually see in the game. i can't remember ever seeing some of those jungle backgrounds, simply because they're blocked from view.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Ah yes, I've been trying to come up with angles you wouldn't usually see in general play, so you get to see the location a bit differently.
I tried to take a screenshot from a ship's deck towards the shore, but couldn't really make that work though.

 

[morgan terror]

no? i'm pretty sure bridgetown's pretty suitable for it. you end up at about the height of a schooner's main deck. still, the port would be kinda far away.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

There might be some locations where it'd work, but I didn't have any luck today.

 

[Jack Rackham]

My favourite is the Devils Throat screen! :d:

...no need to make a new loading screen unless your location actually looks different...

No I'll try to keep down the numbers down. Some names of very specific locations may add a little athmosphere
to the game though...

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Well, I don't think I've got to tell you what to do; you know what you're doing.

Beautiful work Pieter, I saw you made new ones for my quest locations.
