Hi,

if you code something and need help on the graphic side just let everyone know - maybe someone can help out.

Zweckform
  

The german word "Meister" is spelled with an uppercase m, the M. Just so you know.

The other way around should work aswell  Wink (that is, you got graphics or even an idea, and need the code...)

Hi,

so, guys: Letīs turn it around.

Iīd love to contribute to a megademo. Unfortunally i was in the last years mainly "off-the-Scene" due to job tasks...  Cool

Iīm looking for a coder and i got an idea for a mainmenu.

The idea:
-----------
The mainmenu looks like a navigation system. Not the ones of today, but a navigation system for the solar system.

The look is a mixture of an old transistor radio and a child drawing pad. With two handels to draw. One handle draws vertical lines and one handle to draw horizontal lines. I am lacking the english and the german word is "Zauber-Mal-Tafel". Damn it!

I did a sketch to visualize my idea and a first *.IFF file with rasters.

Any coder interested?

technical: (As far as a grfx man can guess....  Undecided)
-----------
-contains rasters
-control of the selector and two handels (animation)
-varying logos and therefore varying rasters
-removement of the lower border would be cool to get a little more space for the handels

could be done in gfa, as the technical is sooooo basic.  Roll Eyes


(1.) First third of the screen is the selector.
A first version of the selector is in the attachment. The purple stuff in the middle is supposed to contain a starfild/galaxy ...whatever. A star represents a demo. The stars / demos can be chosen by turning the handles in the last thrird of the screen. Turn left handle to move horizontally. Turn right handle to move the vertically.

(2.) Second thrid is the display of the "found/located" star/crew in the solar system. Any crew can enter an own logo (with restricted coloros) -i.e. any palette exept =black plus 3 fixed colors for the frame around the logo.

(3.) The last third is the part with the handles to move the selector.
round handels/modulators for the selection within the (upper) starfield...

Just have a look at my attachments.

Is anyone by now not totally confused?  Cheesy

!! Sorry the pic is hell toooo big !!

Hello Dan!

I like your idea for a main menu very much.  Smiley

But we are already working on a bigger main menu (i donīt want to blab too much at the moment).

Maybe we could use your idea for the alternative menu which will work also on the Falcon. The standard menu wonīt work on the Falcon.

What do you think?

Hi RA,

Hi guys,

guessing you already followed this thread, but are not up to date towars the "second mainmenu" i will give you a short summary of our achivements:

Some months ago, RA_pdy and myself started with a second mainmenu for this great production.

The grafix and main design seem to be ready by now.

The lucky thing is: "you can be part of it"  Shocked

The idea behind is as follows:

Every crew, who supports the megademo with a screen is free (!) to enter a logo for the "second mainmenu". There are few restricitions to sending in a logo to make it fit in the general concept.

Here is the simple BETA-grafix for the menu:


Have a look at the static: In this box you are free to display the logo of your crew / The name of the screen or anything we haventīt even thought of. The restrictions to the logo are:

1.
Size (x/y) 256*38

2.
Colors:
--------
Color 0      - 0,0,0
Color 1-3  -free
Color 4      - E,A,0
Color 5-E   -free
Color F       - F,F,F

3.
Please use the common formats as: PI1

We will be happy to receive some nice and creative logos... Grin

Dan

NoExtra of course Cool

Bring your time ! In fact, we need a superb logo GFX for the beginning of the intro (anysize inside 320x200).
Of course we have one, but fresh creativity from you for this contest seems to be much appreciate Cheesy

If you are alright, PM-me to give us our email.

@spiny: errr, why not?! Judging by the concept of the "selector", it would be a "star", but no screen. As long as it goes along with the above "logo-restrictions"...

But .... Iīm a simple grfxman, so havenīt got a clue about memory management. So, i hand the question over to RA  Lips Sealed

Hi Spiny.

Hmm, i think a logo without screen doesnīt make much sense because the logos are for selecting a screen...
Maybe you could do a logo for a crew which still need help.

Guess you are right! There is a fine line between raising the appetite for the new stuff, and spilling all the beans to early.

I suppose the yellow frame picture is made to be complemented by some rasters to give a fullscreen look on the left and right side ?

What you see is an early stage of development.

Why should i ruin the surprise?  Huh

The restricions to your logo stay the same...  Wink

Please consider the "XIA"- and "Paradox"-Logos as examples, what is possible. Your individual palette will used. Please donīt use extra rasters.
