[Myrddraal]

UPDATE: The competition winner and full results can be seen here:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=68669

********************

The aim of the competition:
Make a desktop background for MIITW!

The prize:

Direct from CA, a copy of Total War Era's pack.

https://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6046/69417134144c0a410a374acx3.jpg

This pack contains all the games released so far and their expansion packs, from Shogun and Mongol invasion, through MTW and Viking invasion and ending with RTW and Barbarian Invasion.

It also contains postcards, posters, documentaries on the making of the game, MIITW stuff and more bonus material...

It's a great pack for those of you who've only played Rome, time to discover some of the earlier classics!

You know what you must do now :- Get hold of some MIITW screenshots, and get making those desktops!

Many thanks to *The Shogun* of CA for offering the prize

and we did this for Rome,
maybe reviewing them will give you all some ideas

Fan Created Rome Pre-Release Wallpapers (http://www.totalwar.org/games/wallpapers_rome/wallpapers.shtml)

[barocca]

Here's my base collection of usefull files,
frames similar to the one above, a CA.gif (transparent), a mix of M2TW logo's both black BG and transparent - not the worlds cleanest, but more than suitable for this,
and a mix of TW badge's - i do HAVE the burning one here, somewhere, on one of my CD or DVD archive discs, but i cannot locate it today.

M2TW_WP-helper-KIT.zip (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Mtw_Uploads/MTWupload/M2TW_WP-helper-KIT.zip)

samples of logo and badge (larger and smaller versions in the kit)
http://www.totalwar.org/barocca/misc/logo3B.gifhttp://www.totalwar.org/barocca/misc/TW_BadgeB.gif

you do not have to put wallpapers in frames, i just like to with most of mine

edit about half these files are photoshops - if thats not suitable give me a holler and i'll translate them to bmp and gif

The GameSpot gallery has the most.

Very nice DJ and Prom... Very nice indeed.

The more contributions, the better. It's not all about the prize :wink:

I'm working on another now. I'm not in the competition, since myself and barocca are judging we can't win it (besides we both have the games anyway) :bow:

[Duke John]

I'm not competing for the price either (I don't need it), but if mine wallpaper is actually used as a desktop wallpaper by someone than I'm happy enough :grin:

[The Spartan (Returns)]

thats very humble of you Duke John!

[Duke John]

I already have S:TW, M:TW, R:TW and their expansions (except Alexander) so most of the content would be wasted on me. I thought of asking for someone else's address in the case I won, but it's more convenient to just not participate :tongue2:

@eZslot It would probably be best to go back and take it out.

I like the second one best btw

@Spartan Could you resize the pics you display here so that they fit on the average screen? You can link to larger versions. This will also help the 56k modems out there.

[PROMETHEUS]

How many submissions can we do ?

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Spartan[/B] Could you resize the pics you display here so that they fit on the average screen? You can link to larger versions. This will also help the 56k modems out there.actually im using 23K Modem and my internet is running sweetly. but ill make thumbs instead.

[barocca]

so far the judges are Myrddraal and myself,
although i have a third judge in mind too,

we cannot win by the way (and we both have Era's already)

submission fests are fine, it does not matter if you submit one or a dozen,
it's the best wallpaper wins

If you want to make one, but dont want to be in the competition merely mention that in your posts (ie add "not for competition" in your post)


these are all looking very good,
even the "just for fun" ones

cheers,
B.

you may make 3 or 4 THEN have an absolutely brilliant idea that will blow the rest of us away,
and i'd hate Not to see THAT just because you had reached some arbitrary/artificial limit.

SO
no limit.

https://img183.imageshack.us/img183/9087/wariscominghe0.th.jpg (https://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wariscominghe0.jpg)

:shakehands: I think you should win.

[x-dANGEr]

What is the dead limit? (Am sure this has been answered.. But tbhe ORG is toooooo slow ATM)

[JFC]

Hi eZsolt,

The units in the background are from a pic of just a line of soldiers, but had to create and colour flags. Just replicated the troops and placed them randomly in various lines, recoloured, put in a bit of smoke in the background for effect - and then just created the Trebuchets.

The Knight is from a Total War official pic, (took an age to cut the bugger out!) but had to create the top of the Lance by finding three lions and blending it onto a pic of a plain flag (actually one of the stripes off the German flag) then added a tip.

Background is a pic I took, just varied the colours, then added the Logos.

Recoloured and tidied it all up so it all looked okay.

And there you go!

Cheers all!

[DC-legacy]

Another one.
https://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/DC-LockedLegacy/mtwwallsccopy.jpg

[eZsolt]

Thank you JFC for such a detailed answer!
At first, I thought the Knight is from Stronghold. But then I saw its details (yeah, I know how long it takes to cut it out precisely.)

Cheers!

Léon (salut)

It's great to see all you people and your works. I wish I could make this greeting more personal, but there's quite a few of you :bow:

I hope you all enjoy the discussions and people in the rest of these forums, you should certainly check them out.

As new junior members, you can't edit your posts, but we'll see to it that you'll all soon have you membership upgraded to full member.

@matthewjw2007 - I can't see anything...?

@Scorp - Could you resize the image in the thread so that it fits to the topic width and link to the full size version

Let me answer a couple of FAQ

You may submit as many entries as you wish.

The judges are barocca, myself, and hopefully Duke John (I await his reply on this)

I'm not sure when the deadline will be, but you'll be given plenty of notice.

The prize is great, but your wallpaper doesn't have to be a winner to post it. Its also fun to make them of whatever quality.

Keep up the good work!

[eZsolt]

Thank you Spartan and Myrddraal for those useful infos. ~:)

Here's another one. Firstly I wanted to use that popular knight which was used by almost everyone (~:) ), but finally, the background image turned out to be more interesting.

If you could PM me with resized thumbnails I'll edit your post. Please make them so that they fit on the thread. As an example of how large you can make the thumbnails, look at the first post of this thread.

Great work! Please check out the other sections of the .org and say hello to the people here.

[wonderfluff]

:help: i want to give this a shot but i have no idea how to do it any advice or help and the stuff i got for borders and such dont work:help:

[Myrddraal]

Hi there wonderfluff. First off, you need an image editor. For very basic stuff (i.e. a screenshot with the border) you could use Paintbrush, or if you have photoshop or paint shop pro (you can download trial versions) that would be better.

To make the simplest type of desktop, choose a screenshot from the game, and use the border images to give it a border.

It can get more complicated, but doing something like that would be a good way to get started.

I realise that isn't very clear, I hope it helps.

PS welcome to the .org :smile:

Since i'm all noob about Photoshop, how do i take out specific ''things'' in a picture, if the ''thing'' isn't fully shown ? In this case, if i want to copy a knight, but he got a spearman in front of him, so you don't see all of him, how do i take him out ?

When i read it myself, i realized how confused i am and how confusing this reply makes me. Thanks anyways! :help:

[Myrddraal]

Well seeing as all you've got is an image, you can't just get rid of people standing in the way. You either have to not use that bit of image, incorperate it into what you want to do, or use a trick like make it look like the knight is wading through mist instead of soldiers...

Good luck!


PS. I keep telling myself: "There is no Wally, he's having you one", so why am I still searching?

:dizzy2:

[JFC]

Hi Zade,
I know this ain't the place for a photoshop tutorial, but for a starter you need to cut out 'things' like the knight with the Lasso tool and then get to grips using the 'Stamp' tool to paint over images in the way of the one you want to keep. I can give you a load of info on it if you want to PM me, or even give me the image and tell me what you want done to it.

And Myrddraal - Oh trust me.... Wally's there.....!

[Myrddraal]

Found him!

Who remembers Where's Wally Now? They used to have these books in the waiting room of the surgery, makes waiting so easy.

Cheers mate, helps me alot.

[Myrddraal]

Waldo/Wally all the one's I've seen in person have been Wally but I've seen pictures of Where's Waldo. Maybe one is the US version and one the UK? Maybe Wally is considered too stupid in some country. I don't know. The one in my desktops is called Wally...

[bazboy]

Well, I tried to create a somewhat spooky background, this is how it turned out, I also thought I would advertise when it was coming out, I think the date is still winter 2006 right? I know it isn't as good as many of the other ones but whatever!

https://img150.imageshack.us/img150/3725/desktop1copywb0.th.jpg (https://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktop1copywb0.jpg)

p.s. the winter 2006 shows up much better when it is full size.

[Myrddraal]

Welcome Bazboy, Warluster, Goldrin and Core! :bow:

Nicely done. Goldrin, did you make that model?

Core - I like these, I think it would be better without the saracen in the middle though. It draws the eye too much and you don't notice the patchwork of screenshots in the background.

Warluster - I find the easiest way to upload pictures and post thumbnails is imageshack - www.imageshack.us

Good luck all and hopefully talk to you in the other sections?

[Goldrin]

Yes i make the model. thanks

[bazboy]

okay, here is the link to my desktop, i am currently working on another one that should be better

Is it good, i dont know because i am new

[Myrddraal]

Warluster, just post a link to the image...

[bazboy]

warluster,

go to http://www.imageshack.us

then browse for your image, and that is pretty much it, you could click resize to 1280 x 1024 if you want if it isn't all ready.

paste the link you get from the next page into the textbox you write these replies in, use the thumbnail 1 link for forums

hope that helps, if anyone else has a better way of posting images correct me

thanks

PS good luck everyone on the competition

you've got a great screenshot there, but maybe post the logos of MTW 2, and CA and TW, you should use photoshop or paint or something like that

just experiment

good luck
