SWGEmu Publish 9 - "Secrets of the Force, Redux" loading screen competition

[nee2earth]

@Nee
Is there a way to implement a rotating loading screen? .

That's up to TheAnswer.

Might also depend on how the 'contest' turns out too.

---

You could add a new Data parameter maybe, to link to a new loadscreen within ui_loading2.inc , which should control that loadscreen, so I guess it is possible.

Would be cool if the LaunchPad incorporated some type of clicky checkbox option, so that a player's loadscreen would depend upon their chosen Factional alignment and/or Force alignment.

Of course, there would need to be 4 separate loadscreens with 4 lore scripts , all similarly designed/themed.

. But unfortunately I'm limited by what I had available to me on old HDDs and those of an old guildie from Sunrunner.

umm have you or your friend seen this sticky thread yet...

The project might be able to use those screenshots to get a more accurate emulation. Can you pack them into a .rar and then upload it to google drive, please?

@Centrepoint: First line in the 3rd paragraph is missing the starting quotation mark before the "It's an energy field..." bit. I understand this is an insignificant issue, but it's the only thing missing in an otherwise perfect piece.

The third sentence in the fourth paragraph should read: ""He still retained his mastery of its ways..." (No apostrophe.)

@Nee Actually I hadn't! Currently at work with crappy MOD webfilters preventing me from investigating them further. I'll check them out when I get home.

@everyone else: If anyone has any suggestions on pictures that may go well with the theme I tried to achieve with the lighter version I submitted last night, I'm open to them.
Feel free to drop me a PM and I'll look into it. I'm not too concerned about the grammar at the moment, you all seemed to get the direction I was going for and I can re-attack that when I've had more than 4 hours sleep! I'm still not 100% happy with the light version, but I get the impression there's time to fix it - I just wanted to address @Divlas concerns about balance.

People seem to be focusing on the Jedi side of publish 9. Although that is the main new content in the upcoming publish I know a lot of people who will want more than just Jedi on their load screens. I will be looking through the checklist to see what I can come up with asap.

Please do! If I wanted armies of Jedi flinging crap at eachother I'd play TOR.

If I wanted a bunch of movie characters to tell me how good I am I'd play Shadows of the Empire.

Really excited to see what other possibilities are available.

There are so many new and outstanding submissions! It's a tribute to the community that it can come together and produce such quality work. A /tiphat to the project team for (re)igniting this passion. It sounds like we're going to see even more submissions after reading through the comments. Nice!

I'd really like to see the dual-loading-screen implemented using Centrepoint's different pieces. I think that's a great idea and would offer a balance to satisfy everyone. Not sure how easy/difficult that would be for the devs, but I believe it would be a wise investment of time to figure out.

I disagree. I believe that such a feature should only be implemented if the devs/The Answer really want it implemented. Otherwise, I see no reason why they should spend time on something like that.

I also believe that the "dark" piece is balanced enough on its own, but that is just my opinion.

@Centerpoint:
My two cents:
I don't think it is possible to achieve Balance on one single loading screen.
When I try myself, I feel like I damage my original idea. Either I would make a loading screen on the desctruction of the Jedi, either one on their survival.

If TheAnswer finds a safe way to set a dual loading screen, this would be the cherry on the cake. :P

Agreed, agreed. If it's massively Publish-delaying, then, sure, forget the idea until it's much more viable. However, like you said, I feel it would appease both sides of the coin of players (even though I definitely advocate for the "darker" piece, myself, as said before).

[Presle Digect]

I love Centrepoint's. It feels alittle Dark Side-ish but the game is supposed to be set in The Dark Times (Thank you Obi Wan Kenobi for that description).

[ossirisward]

Great Stuff here guys!! Just making us want Publish 9 *sooner* Tm than ever!! Lol

Fairly decent for only working on it for 30 minutes.
