Zero Hour quickstart shell image uses a screenshot from original generals

Open FireRainV opened this issue 8 months ago • 18 comments

the file is at "Data\English\Art\Textures\mainmenubackdropuserinterface.tga" (it's missing in ZH, so it just inheriting it from original generals)

You can use this screenshot I did, it looks good to me at least. Image

Where is this texture used?

I wrote it in my description: "Data\English\Art\Textures\mainmenubackdropuserinterface.tga"

I searched WND, INI files and mainmenubackdropuserinterface.tga was not referenced.

I'd like to suggest this background as well, it comes with the LuKeStorm's standalone release. Image

Zero Hour already has a main menu backdrop.

Not in ZH, check original generals

Ok, so Zero Hour uses the Generals back drop. I think it is fine.

I can remaster a zero hour shell version of this quality if needed.

Original needs to be replaced for sure because the quality is terrible, low res and stretched.

I took the picture from here, I think it's impressive.

I'm thinking about a new feature for a slideshow wallpapers, like the ones in Windows.

Also the EA wallpaper

Another wallpaper from network

The EA box image with the carrier is the best :-)

@DevGeniusCode I actually wasn't completely happy how the color balance turned out of that one, I've corrected this.

I actually agree and I've tried to find the source image but haven't found it yet, we could also ai improve this one if need be.

Make sure Xezon has collected and documented everything :)

this is based on this https://github.com/TheSuperHackers/GeneralsDocuments/blob/main/artwork/generals_zh/zerohour_cover.jpg

looks pretty good (imagining an entire ui overhaul)

Would you like to submit a PR?

I searched WND, INI files and mainmenubackdropuserinterface.tga was not referenced.

It is here Data\INI\MappedImages\HandCreated\HandCreatedMappedImages.INI

We need a widescreen fix first, I don't know how to do this. Currently you need to squeeze the image to 1600x1200, which then gets stretched again.

This looks very nice.
