I swear, I feel abit brain dead.

basically i'm trying to think up what to do for the loading screens, basically i'm going with what finite suggested and using the whole folder and picture things, like this:

but I would like suggestions on what to put in there? should I do quick character bio's and put them there? like a different one for each character so the player can know about our character's without having to look up the site or should I do something else?

i'm just looking for suggestions here because i'm having a brain fart on this :p

I think that sounds good, just remember to keep the area's where the text goes open. Since there are two sides to the loading screen I thought maybe like a open folder zaft on one side and eaf on the other (since it needs to be neutral). Maybe also use some of the screenshots as recon photos.

anywayz, what I was thinking was that we'd have one character on one side, and put his/her equivelant on the other side i.e. Malik on the ZAFT side and Yamada on the OMNI side, Shelba on the ZAFT side and Kumiko on the OMNI side, Kaworu on the ZAFT side and Gene on the OMNI side and etc...

I still need to make the background and probably a few tidbits around it but whatcha think so far?

This is how it would apear atm in eaw (dont worry about the weird transparencey thing I have going on its just to show you what I mean), so the one thing I would recomend is keep the areas where the descriptions go as blank pages because that will display the info when loading. The zaft and omni pages should probly be layered in behind.(dont worry to much about the title as it will hover over)

The other thing I would say is messy it up a bit, it looks a little too uniform at the moment.

Unfortunatly I dont have the abillity to change button or text positioning on this screen. So you have to design around the preset layout.

Kind of, (my two cents) I guess you can always just make it look like a mess of inteligence papers in the folder. The top most being the blank ones where the game will display the data. (/my two cents)

I know you'll do good, thats why I trust you to do it.

lol, I guess this is the figuretive wip that I've brought out :p

I suppose I could just seperate the folder to make it look like two folders and then I could position it easier...

I think i'll probably just do that, whatcha think finite?

Actually rather then playing musical chairs you can do some trial and error to see what works. All you need to do is put it in the proper directory in eaw and see how it looks: "Gamedata/data/Art/Textures" folder if none exists just make and name the folders, should help you work on it fast and better. Any other questions let me know chances are I have the answers.:blush:

I actually origionally typed "if you want to see what it looks like you can do it yourself ." But that didnt sound very good at all, sorry if that came off wrong It was the only way I could think to say it :ohmy:. It may be day time in Austrailia but its late here, and Infinity no function sleep well without. :blush:
