simmars-forum-threads Simmars Intro Picture

As I suggested earlier, we can simply work around the intro.dat by making our own.

We create a video or animation in any format that suits us, then write a simple piece of code that plays the video when you start the game. It's not hard.

I personally was more interested in the .mad format because of its relationship to the .dbpf files that govern the Advisors and the eventual decoding of the whole game.

Ok, you can work on it I guess. It's yours.

I think i have said this about 3 times now *the problem isn't making a video its getting it in game that the problem*

Until we get any video in the game there's no point making a SimMars video. quote>

Which is why I have converted this thread into the intro picture thread.

SWAT can you post the second pic without the white lines above and below the logo? thought that might look good as well

[JakeMD 107]

How is this?

Wait, let me get this straight.... SimMars is now operated by SCRT?

Nihon - No, Andisart took back the place as leader and everything is normal again.

A huge discussion took place, and now Andisart is back. SimMars was never operated by SCRT directly, but indirectly. (If you need further explanation just PM me, but otherwise i am keeping this discussion out of this topic.)

[JakeMD 107]

Cool! Can you show it to us?

I don't think it is going to fit in with the mod, but its only my opinion, what do the others think?

[TimeMaster 4]

Shoji, that look great, but it is a little too pixel-ish. If you could make it look more clean, that'd be great.

[AndisArt 2,068]

SWAT, thanks! that looks good, but I liked the previous font better. looks more impressive

SWAT: They look like a slice of heaven.

I took your 2nd image and modified it, to.

[Shoji_sim 9]

Time: I just took the spaceship thing from a parent screenshot I made from Sketchup 6.

[Shoji_sim 9]

How is this?

[Ledah2445 6]

nice work,shoji

I have a suggestion involving Intro.dat

- create a backup copy of it

[Shoji_sim 9]

In fact, let's forget about the entire image. Instead of a 500km-above-the-surface view, why not have a 'first colony' view?

[AndisArt 2,068]

as long as it matches the quality of the images we have, of course, any ideas should be explored.

does anyone have grafic skills matching the SImMars picture we have?

[Ledah2445 6]

Where are the pictures
