Philippe Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 While looking for color photographs to use in my German portraits mod I came across several large photographs from Signal magazine that make good introductory screens. One of them has already been used in lower resolution in the Tarkus mod, but I thought it might be nice to have a set of them that work with the out-of-the-box BFC interface, for those that want to see the Eastern Front through German rather than Russian lenses. So I whipped together two sets, one with the Red Twins and one without. My favorite is the second one, which shows a shell exploding just in front of a squad taking cover behind a moving tank, Caucasus mountains in the background. Unfortunately the link on this photograph wasn't working, so the resolution isn't as good as it should be. All of these Menu screens can be found at CMMODS. While you're there, make sure you take a good look at the two Vincent Splash Screens that were posted a few days ago. The quality of the design work is far superior to what I did in these four screens. I really like his collage technique. Many thanks to eyepilot for directing me to the sites where I found these images. And thanks to Image Shack for providing free hosting for these images. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Thanks Phillipe, I may mod the first or third one for my CMAK 1940 install. They look enough like France and southern England for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Mod away. Just be careful, because the one that looks the most like France has a thatched roof in it that would never occur in France, or even England (thatching is done differently there). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I like the greenish uniforms in number one. I see enough horse's rears all day to not want number 3. I hadn't noticed the roofs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 CMAK 1940 I used number 1 wihout the girls and pasted the cross over the star, then cut and filled the B to B line. Looks good to me. Number 4 could be used for Sealion IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 A Victoria Cross ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 No, I copied and pasted the cross on the left over the star on the right in MS paint. Then click, drag and cut around the B to B, flood fill black. Since you mentioned the VC I remember Juju's CMBO last seen icon mod with all the nifty medals. I may try something with that. I also made a CDV or BFC intro screen from the CMBO 11260 ? bmp. The flags seemed to fit the 39-40 theatre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 You might want to set your Google to "image" instead of "web" (or whatever the normal setting is called) and do a search under Victoria Cross. It's bound to turn up a few good images. You can then cut one of them out, and, perhaps, remove the color from it and paste over a gold layer similar to the color of the iron cross. That way the two different crosses should match, and you'll have one symbol from each side. The alternative is to use the RAF roundel, but I don't think that would really look right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
