New Location-specific Loading Screens

Search for 7-Zip on the internet. It's a free compression program that offers really good compression.
Included in the file is my Photoshop PSD sample file for the loading screens.
 
yeh i used 7 zip but i dont have photoshop...i have paint.net witch is a free version of that... ill try it but do u have just the banners that say shore so i can copy them into the pic...
 
I can also add it on myself; not a problem. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

With "uncompressed" I mean the version before saving to JPG; I'd like to use the highest possible quality for the loading screens.

The original Douwesen Port was nice and atmospheric.
And check the original church one too. Not so bad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I still disagree. The Duewesen ones you talk about might be good, but i find the loading images of jungles and especially the pirate fort blurry. Hardware is better today - and when everything on graphics set on high, your images recapture my playing experience much better.

Actually, the lines on the original ones somehow seem more smooth than on mine, despite mine having a higher resolution. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
But it is a good thing we're redoing them all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

If you get the FTP to work, you can upload your stuff there. And make sure to list which location the screenshot is of. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I don't know how many more we need, truth be told. I'm just going through the various locations, making shots of the ones we don't have yet.
Going through the RESOURCE\Textures\Loading\English folder helps too, but only in my case, since I'm adding all the new ones there.
Check <a href="http://piratesahoy.net/build/images/loading/locations" target="_blank">http://piratesahoy.net/build/images/loading/locations</a> for all the loading screens we have already.
 
Excellent work, Pieter and thevegimobil! Nice collection of screens you guys are building up!
