MarkB Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Spent the last few hours trying to find a usable image of the scoreboard in right field of Waterfront Park, but it seems there are none, so I've tried crafting it from the images I do have, and it's proving far beyond my capabilities, so here I am, throwing myself at the hands of the elite graphics artists around here. The final result should be larger than 512x128 (shouldn't be difficult, given the source images) and should have the same colouring as this image; Also, I'm pairing it with this image, so if the scoreboard could match that, it would be perfect. The road team was Akron. It's for the 2008 Waterfront Park, so as you can see in the second image, there is no "Drive your way" banner, it's just the Hyundai logos with the blue tape across the "Drive your way" at the edges and the new Hyundai banner at the top. Also, since the start of the year, "Thunder" has been used in the scoreboard instead of "Trenton". So, in short, here is what needs done. Akron in the road team line, 1 run in the 3rd and 4th innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors. Thunder in the home team line, zeros in 1-5, 0 runs, 3 hits, 1 error. Hyundai logo on the sides. Ball, strike and outs lights off. Colouring from image 3. If anyone is up for giving it a shot, please do, and I'll credit you for anything done in the readme of the mod when it's done, which won't be too far away. I just really want to get this done as I've been using the same stock image I whipped up in Paint since 2005, and it's bugging me now. Mucho thanks to anyone that can do this.

wrigleyville33 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Have you tried vectoring it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th_Chamber Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'll see what I can do tonight, is there a specific size you need or want. Also, what file extension do you need this in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Have you tried vectoring it? I would...if I knew what that even meant, or how to do it. :oops: I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge using PSP or Photoshop is, although servicable, pretty basic, in the grand scheme of things. Just never gotten around to working with layers etc. I'll see what I can do tonight, is there a specific size you need or want. Also, what file extension do you need this in. As long as it can be cropped or resized to 512x128 with both the Hyundai edging and the scoreboard included and look good, any size is absolutely fine - whatever's best for you. Given the source images, if you want to work with 1024x256, I can resize it later. File type - again, whatever. As long as it can be opened in PSP 8 and exported as a bitmap, it's absolutely fine. Thanks man, appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th_Chamber Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 This is what I have so far. Ads are done unless there is something you'd like to see adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 That looks pretty much perfect - the only thing that needs changed from that is that the "Drive your way" stuff is removed this year, but other than that, it's perfect.

MarkB Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 No problem man, as soon as you can get it done, I'll be ready to import it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hey 4th, just wondering if you ever had time to finish this. Wondering if I should release a beta of what I have just now or wait for this ad to get done. Thanks man. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th_Chamber Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Once again, sorry for the delay, been kind of rough these days, it should be done by the time the Thanksgiving holiday is done. Here's a little update, it's a little hard getting enough space for the hits, runs & errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Since he's pairing the new scoreboard with the following image, I would just expand that to a bigger dimension and have that as a guide to create the new scoreboard. That way you can just lineup up the slots for the hits, runs, errors, etc. and you wouldn't have a problem of running out of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th_Chamber Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The extra space does help alot to make it as accurate as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Don't forget all-caps on the team names. That's right -- I'm a scoreboard proof-reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hey 4th, sorry I've not gotten back to you, been gone for a while. I'm going to try to get a beta out sometime this week, with this done or not, so if you've had a chance to finish it, let me know. Thanks again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th_Chamber Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No problem. It should be done this week since I'm done with school at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Perfection. Thanks 4th, very much appreciated. Looks great in-game too. Do you still have the larger one you were working on, the 1062x250 base? If so, could you post that as well, just in case I need to make any changes for future versions? Thanks again!

4th_Chamber Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Glad you liked it. And yes, I do still have the larger one I worked one before resizing it. I'll have it here before the end of the day. If you need any other work done, feel free to pm me what you need. I would like to start helping out more with this field.

MarkB Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 That would be great, thanks man. Here's a little preview of how it looks in-game. One internet to whoever notices the other change from the 0.7 beta other than the Hyundai sign and scoreboard. I'm hoping to get a couple of other small things done before the 1.0 release, but nothing too graphically taxing, so if I do need anything done, it'll probably be after the 2009 season has started and the new ads are out if I can't get any decent pictures of them. I'll let you know though. Thanks again man. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
