Custom Splash Screens...Request always taken
 

I've put some splash screens together, different strokes for different folks, so help yourself. If you like to throw some request out I'll make them up. Being laid off ( :cry-blow: ) gives me plenty of time to do nothing but stare at walls.

Thanks to longshot270 for some help on things. Also credit goes to him for a few partial images that I borrowed.


Source: Many images were take from Google images and then edited/enhanced in PhotoShop CS then converted to monochrome in MS Paint.

Sorry to here about you being laid off.
Your idle time is/has/will always be a great help to the forum and PHP!
Thanks again!

Lars:2thumbs:

BTW The splash screens that you and Longshot270 put together are fantastic!

I like how you organized them on the other website. :thumbs up yellow: I might have to figure out how to do that in the future, my portfolio on here would get filled up quick if I were to upload all of the one's I've been working on. But most of them are specifically for my truck.

Man, those are AWESOME! :2thumbs:

Also, for those who don't know... those will work on an Evo as well. You'll have to use Pegasus instead of Fusion to upload them though.

Keep up the good work.

Really? Well I might be in business down here. I know a few guys with evo's that like what my programmer does. =}

Hey longshot270,

If you want this script and you have a website or a place to upload them I can send it over. If not I can make you a sub-domain and give you access, something like:

http://longshot270.xperties.net

Let me know.

Those are awesome...:2thumbs:

Oh, yes please. That would be awesome. Since I'm not very tech savy you might have to get everything started for me, I dont really have a firm understanding of anything you just mentioned. As far as programming goes, I'm only as far as making math and chem formula programs on graphing calculators. (That was the main reason I passed my chemistry, algebra and geometry classes in high school, because I was able to rewrite my programs minutes after they wiped out the memory.:whistle1:)...I'm kind of a learn it as I need it type. :cool_beans:
Now if there is a way for me to set up my own web page, no problem. I just have to figure out how to get started.

Well I wrote my script so all you have to do is upload the image to a image folder and it will would auto show it on the website, meaning you upload and that's it. You ever use FTP to transfer files?

That sounds easy enough, but I dont think I've ever used this FTP. To me a computer is a tool just like a wrench. I can easily use it for stuff that is right in front of me like slide shows and splash screens but loosening a bolt that is miles away is where I start to have trouble, if you know what I mean. :giggle:
Ok so how you describe it, uploading pictures is easy. Does it accept the bitmaps? I'm about to skip using JPEG as my middle format. I'm going strait from my painting format right to bitmap, no middle man to waste time but also no middle man for uploading.

Yeah the script was made just for bitmap images.

You can get free FTP software here:
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client


Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. There is a bunch of crap that may over whelm you but really int he below screenshot you only put in the "Host", "Username" and "Password" and once you save it you would just click connect.

Here is a link to some flash tutorials on how to use FileZilla:

If you want to give it a shot I'll send you some login information for an account and you can mess around with login in and uploading files. You can't hurt anything and once you get the hang of it I'll throw the script in your account and then you would just upload the images to a image folder.

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a try. Just downloaded it (found the agreement quite interresting) so I'll be playing around with it for a while. I watched some of the demos and it I think I will be able to set something up...We'll see.

Later that day:
Ok, looks simple enough. I'll have it ready in no time, I'm just not sure about what the host is supposed to be. I used their wizard to do a few tests and the tests failed. Any recommendations(or use the filezilla-project.org)?

If either (or both of you wanna compete for who can do the coolest) one of you fine gentlemen would be interested in makin me a rebel flag splashscreen with ducks flyin and shotgun shells id be much obliged!!!

I'm not in the competing mode but can you give me more details? U want all of those items on one splash screen? If so that would be way to busy for it to even look nice.

longshot: The host is your web host. It's typically something you pay for from a company to host a website which is why I suggested I would give you some space on a sub-domain on my site if you were interested.

I checked out the Splash Screen website, and those are great!, but there is 1 problem, the "request a splashscreen" link is to the old host, so you might want to change that, an on that note it would be great if you could get military themed splashscreens up, or like a fighter jet. just a thought and a request. :2thumbs: keep up the good work!

All the military logos for each branch would be really cool. :) Keep up the good work. :2thumbs:

If the CS/CTS platform will support custom screens, I'd like this one:



Thanks!

What'd ya think? If you cant convert it to a monochrome bitmap I can send you the proper version in a PM.
http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/membe...ag-n-ducks.jpg

Xperties: Ohhh :doh: that would make sense. Could you send me a PM with the your host? Or if it would be simpler set everything up and tell me how to use what you set up with my computer. This web stuff can get me confused pretty quick.:o

Something like these?

http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/membe...usairforce.jpg http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/membe...476-usarmy.jpg

...and finally http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/membe...-usmarines.jpg
I'm going to keep working on the eagle, it's so small it's hard to work with.

I'll fix the flags later and update them here and in my photo album.

Looks great! Don't forget the Coast Guard!

awesome
 

Awesome! :2thumbs:

Yeah if you could pm that it would be awesome, i have no idea how to do that lol

yeah i converted it to bmp but it said it had to be black and white? if you could just pm it to me ready to go thats be awesome!

Try this one. I was changing part of my paint program when I made it and wasn't able to save as a monochrome bitmap at the time. Now everything works a little better. :)

any chance of getting a really cool UFC splash screen? i'm sure it would be pretty popular

Thanks :thumbs up yellow:

Like this?
Tell me if it works I tried something new on saving and dont have my programmer to test it out.

thats awesome :woot: exactly what i was hoping for
thanks

Not sure if it could be done but this would be pretty cool.

08- Check Xperties's website (page 1 of this thread or click on the link in his signature), he has some that are similar to what your wanting. Really all I could do is to build on his with a border and the STX possibly underneath. But I will also work on one later because I'd probably make the letters thicker.

Here's one that I thought looked kinda cool. I used the picture you posted because I liked the angles.

Thats not bad, thanks.

opppss....I wasn't getting any notifications of replies to the thread. Sorry guys but it seems as longshot270 got everything under control...lol

:woot:

Whew, I was wondering what was going on. :cheesy smile:

I guess last time I visited the forums I wasn't logged in and if the forums hasn't detected you logged in since the last email notification regarding a thread reply, it doesn't send you any more notifications. :sigh:

Anyways, did I miss any request? It looked as if you handled all of them.:happy-dancing:

Uhhhh...looks like I need to go back through my subscriptions because what you just said explains a bit. :giggle:

Na, its been pretty cool over on this thread. You can try making another F150 like on 08stx's. I was trying to use a B/W gradient for a background but it doesn't always cooperate as I would like it to.:hmmm:

...the one I attatched looks pretty good on a programmer though, just not on the computer.

those are some great splash screens. if it is not to much trouble do you think you could make a flaming STX with the flames coming off the top of the loggo

I'll see what I can come up with. :evillol:

sweet that sounds great. and thanks

Dam hard to get flames to even look like flames when dealing with monochrome but here you go...

1st image on page 1:
Gryphon Programmer Splash Screens

thanks for the splash screen it looks great. when i get my gryphon back i will load it first thing. thanks again.

Thats pretty cool! :thumbs up yellow:
I might try one tomorrow, I havent drawn one in a while and have been looking for a new project. :)

Ok, so it took me more than 24 hours but here is one that is kinda different. I used a black background vs. the white.

veryy sweet

Ahh yes, looks a lot cleaner than mine. Good job.

How bout a Florida Gator head logo?

I'm not the best at already made logos but this one looks pretty good.

love it!! cant wait to see it on the display..Thanks alot

Texas
 

Got a request for a Texas/Ford splash screen so here they are. I attatched two bitmaps for the programmer but also uploaded a jpeg so it will be easier to see.

Has SVT been done yet?

Nope but I can sure make one. What are you looking for in it? I could do the "SVT" like on the raptor...
*go to my profile and click on the splash screen album. It has some that are not posted in the thread.

Oops, seems this thread fell through the cracks. I have 3 basic "SVT"s right now. The first SVT is just that, I picked lettering that was similar to what I've seen on lightnings and raptors around town. The next two are the raptor and lightning editions.

Can someone do a Lincoln logo for my Mark LT truck?

Thanks!!!

Here's one I made
 

I just made one with the Punisher skull.

Can someone do a John Deere logo?

Dont worry, didn't forget just needed a bit of time when I should be studying. :hehe:
I can put the logo on top/bottom even sideways if that is what your looking for. They are attached as lincoln 1 and2.

I'm kinda liking the second but same thing, I can put the lettering on top or bottom. Look at JD 1 and 2. I kinda like the second more.

Thanks, I like the 2nd one best!
