Visual Enhancement - Good and Evil menu packages released

[JonSnow]

And OotMM should have Morias huge gaping chasm for largest faction...

[Aragonath]

Nice work!
I'm going to download it when I get my pc back.

[Walkman810i]

Looking forward to the next release. I also hope this will be included in the future official TA:TW patches

[DisgruntledGoat]

You're menu screen and loading screens look great. That splash screen is a little lacking. I think its because its missing a clear division between the in game images and the the title block.

[Louis Lux]

I know, I made it quickly. If anyone has a suggestion for a possible splash screen you can post it here.

[JonSnow]

Any date for the release of what you have done so far? I'm really anxious to un vanillafy my TATW

[2-D Ron]

Off the Top of my head, Pictures of the White Council arguing amongst each other in the Fellowship makes the best 'Relations Worsen' Banner for Good Factions.

[DisgruntledGoat]

Honestly I have always been partial to the idea of a full stone splash with some accent rocks and trees sort of thing. Sorta similar to what you have at the top of your loading screen. I've just never gotten around to creating anything. Also may I suggest doing the loading bar as ONLY the elven text rather having the ring there. I think it would look better.

[2-D Ron]

Thought I'd help make one?



Failed Elven Mission.

LOL +Rep

I made this one as well for Relations worsened.



Something about the Ring burning in it's reflection when everyone is arguing like Sauron is Officially/Unofficially -Stirfing and getting off on the in-fighting

[MadTiest]

I made a few as well, with suggested uses:
Largest faction Isengard


Retinue Isengard


Path blocked


Largest faction


Death (Gondor)



If only they could consist of more pixels :-(

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT:I'm glad people are trying to help, but you have to keep in mind that like portraits event pics are culture specific not faction specific.

@D_A Don't worry about war events, I already found pictures for all of them. Ancillary character is the file name of retinue expand event pic.
@DG I like the splash screen idea, I will see what can be done. Having only the lettering wouldn't look very good because it would have a black background and I kind of like the way it is.
@2-D Ron good ideas but the quality of the images is horrible.
@Madtiest great quality images, from where did you get them? DVD? From those ones I will probably use the path blocked and orc retinue, any ideas for northmen retinue? Gondor and Orcs have the most event pics in the current release, so I will focus more on the other cultures.

Any ideas for alliance made or relations improved?

[Punisher1024]

How about the scene when Aragorn hugged Haldir at helms deep. Or something like that. Or maybe when all of the men of the west are outside the black gate.

Actually you could do it without a background at all with the use of Alpha channels. Which is what I was suggesting.

For What Reason?
I did get the images of the Dwarves, Men, Elves arguing off a Youtube player as well as the Ring.. Is that what you're talking about?
Cause I can pop in my Extended edition DVD's and Print Screen them?
My P.C is only 32 Bit Quality as well, don't know if I need a better monitor to up it to 64 Bit or something?

Use the DVD quality pics and it would look a lot better.

Will do.
My screens 32 Bit Quality, I don't know if that's important? and what I would need to do to make it 64 Bit Quality?

[Devils_Advocate]

A time machine that brings you in the year 2100.
64 bit colors would mean about 18 Trillion different colors! 32 bit are already about 4 billion!

For evil it could be the orcs waiting for the corsairs on the beach... or ugluk killing that one gob- oh wait... improved... yea...
