  • Most issues reported these days stem from users not enabling their emulators to use the required amount of RAM.
    We also tend not to use the search feature but post our issues within the texture pack release page.
    Failure to load a texture pack should not be posted in the release thread unless you have already patched the emulator.

    If you don't have the resources to use Large/HD texture packs please do not attempt to do so.
    Users should have a minimum amount of System RAM not less then 4GB's.
    If you have less then 4GB's of RAM do not post about how your emulator crashes,
    RAM is dirt cheap so invest some money into your PC.

    I would like to say thanks to squall_leonhart
    for posting this Solution.

Ha, well I'm not really fimiliar with the SW logo :p

Glad you like the look of it. I was shocked at how good it turned out, actually. And I documented the process, so I can re-create it for the other medallions.

Cheiftan, that would be great. I use GIMP, though, so I don't what kind of vector file you are talking about and if it would work. If it's a file type, I'm sure GIMP supports it. A .png with the alpha of the shape would be just as awesome. Thanks :) I'm not so great with the symbol shapes, so it would work out really well actually.

I can do .PNGs with alphas, no problem. What size do you need the symbols to be (in pixels)? The vector files are scalable without affecting resolution, but I want to get the size right before I start working with raster (the .png files scale, but it affects resolution).

I've already got the symbols drawn up, so as soon as I can get sizes, it'll take no time to create the alphas, and I can upload a pack tonight.

Thanks a ton Chieftan :) This is why I love group projects.

The diameter of the circle in the fire emblem (the emblem, not the medallion ;)) appears to be 190px. I'm at a public computer, but I opened it up in paint and measured it XD. If you need/want any other dimensions I can give it to you in about 5 hours.

You can include the vector files if you want - I'm curious about them and how GIMP will handle them :D

hmm...I sure use a lot of smilies...

@Lewa I still prefer the original style you were using the new style looks horrible in game and just doesn't look right.

Really? I hated the original style. That's kinda why I been trying other styles.

Honestly, I have not got a chance to try this in-game yet. I'll look at it later - maybe I can make some adjustments so that it will look right. I was trying to make it look as close as reasonably possible to the original - which is kinda where I think it is now.

Not disagreeing with you, but I really want to give this style a second chance :p
Either way, once cheiftan posts his vectors I'll be able to create much better looking medallions.

All righty lewa, I've got files. I just noticed that I forgot the original vectors, so they're not in the zip file... I'll upload those separately tomorrow if/when I get a chance (it's late and I'm tired).

I did, however, put in 6 PNG files--one for each medallion at 190x190 px. Let me know if they work or not--I can pretty much convert the vectors to whatever you need, so we'll make this work one way or another.

Great work on the emblems, Chieftan. They work perfectly. I just open it as a layer and I'm pretty much ready to go.
For the purpose of feedback (click thems):


@ death--driod: Thanks for giving me a chance :D You might notice that the light medallion is styled a bit different than the others. Less smoothed over. Do you like this better?

And, does anyone know about the glow of the medallions? Is this a png, or is this a blendeing effect? I'd like the change it significantly. Hate that glow which ruins the shading.

@Lewa I love the newer light medallion style look really nice it gives it a better feel than the other ones and looks more like a medallion and I'm pretty sure the glow s a blending effect :p

The others look horrible in game but look good as a image shiny things don't go to well and easily look out of place.

Comparison

Its not about how they look as a image itself its about how it looks in the actual game as a texture :p

I'm not sure it's wise to compare medallions on the old version of the menu background... although I do kinda see your point...

But seriously, can we avoid the word 'horrible'? I mean, lewa put a lot of work into these things... it seems harsh to call his work horrible, especially when it looks amazing when it's not in-game.

Side note @lewa--can the shading at the bottom of the medallions be toned down a little? Not too much, just enough to be able to tell what's down there.

@Chieftain If you've ever noticed i always change my posts about 5 times after originally posting it the texture he made for the medallions of the other style looks brilliant until its in game where as the new styled light one looks very nice in game.

...eh, it only shows when you last updated it...

Not a big deal, I just thought I'd get that off my chest. I'm looking at those textures in-game now, and the more I see it, the more I agree with you. But like I said, I'm reserving a final decision for when a new menu is completed. Perhaps I will work on that...

Yeah, the light medallion looks the best in game because it doesn't have the reflectiveness/sheen of the others. That's probably the best style to go with.
