which one would you currently its


Light Colors like Light Blue and Pink and Yellow

because thats the color of vcs but it doesnt look great if it was dark i could add some real cool effects like fire at stuff or lights

can you post a preview screen, so we know how the colors are going to be used?

theres still things to do and its looking quite bare but ive made it in a way so anyone can add there own page in SECONDS the next version is going to contain an installer so people can install as many pages as they want the palette can save 100 colors as i dont think theres need for any more and the next version will contain OSK i know how to do it just need the time to do it and the next version is also going to contain CFG importer

also theres things you cant see as thats only 6 screens im working on a intro but want to know what colors i should use the text is also going to be stroked so you can see it easier

also i think the control panel is going to be good ???????

HERE VETTE HAS ACCELERATION AND TOP SPEED BEEN CONFIRMED TO WORK YET???

send me the beta please emmet...

wow.
i would like black and yellow but red seems kinda dark and bloody.
i think you need to change the camera angle of the cheetah.
maybe i can take a pic of it and did you use emboss and colorize it?

pic of you need for wheelsize backround:
wheel

my edited one:


some other crappy pics:

the point of that angle was because its the pause/start screen and the cheetah has stopped at a red light LOL

im doing the osk and to quicken it up im going to rip someone elses image with permission so if anyone would like to help to look for a good osk On-Screen Keyboard

im thinking of the ps3 one

that would be great freestyle there still one bug and thats is slow response when on the palette seeing A OT OF A LOT of stuff is happening it just needs better layout

better yet if someone made there own osk silver would be best because it goes with dark and light that would be brilliant to or i can just use the sony psp one

heres 2 ive saw that ill modify



is that enough characters



Thanks also i just got a ps3 yesterday so il be playing with that for a while aswell im going to S*ho*l tomarrow to say that im still a live and get my time table i dont actually start till monday so ive got time

Nice!

whooo, that is nice. I like the load/save/export idea XD

im also adding a show room which will allow you to keep pictures of your car save export etc aswell as rate and maybe SEND THROUGH IRDA but ill have to look into whether thats possible but i think it is and if ADe gets in touch with me I MIGHT be able to make an uploader so you can upload them to cheatsync as lua as php support also from the first version im going to make an anti-spam protector cause i simply hate spammers it might not look nice at the beginning but it will only appear if you are a spammer and in that case you can F*ck off

NEVER MIND I GOT THE OSK DONE I KIND OF DID IT WEIRDLY BUT IT LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH

sorry for the bump

but i need help understanding some of the keys what does ... mean and the bottom line thanks

what do you do with the keys on vms?
making folders,making car names etc....

and showroom?
you can see a picture of your car without testing it?
woah :blink:

keys as controlls for the code? and the show room I can help you with want pictures of cars? I can help you what that and is rgb done? and when Can I see a beta

no

keys as in keys on the keyboard but it doesnt matter im going to make one of them like the ps3 one were you hit a special key and a popup appears with all special characters

and showroom no i dont think that will ever be done as it just way to much work and near impossible

its were youll keep your saved cars (kinda like a garage) were you can load save export and send them as well as rate the and at each slot youll have a car and you can keep a album for that one car with pictures taken of it using the cd

ALSO SENDING IS VERY VERY MUCH POSSIBLE AND WOULD TAKE 5 MINS TO CREATE AND TEST

for the color options for the skin and gfx, I have a suggestion.

instead of using just images, you should use a transparent .png of the main graphic that's displayed and overlay it over a solid color in the background.

basically, fill the background with a solid color, or in this case, two different colors for the main area, and menu section.your using lua right? if so, you can just draw a rectangle over the screen.

ten overlay the .png over it, and whatever color is filling the screen will be the color shown, and the overlay .png will be the graphic. and you can using varying opacities in the .png to have fades, and smooth edges and stuff.

then, using this technique you can have multiple color choices available in the app, with little effort, and only one set of graphics. or possibly, customization of the colors displayed.

I can explain it better if you need me to, and I can also make the .png's if you want, with proper opacities, and blending and stuff.

no, i know what your saying and i was thinking the same but then i said it wouldnt work because if the image had black outlines and a blackground you wouldnt see it but i just checked and it works

i know how to do fading etc you take an image and then draw an empty image on top f it and alter its alpha level

also vette you can make the new backgrounds but theres a way you do it that makes it look nice with all colors ill get a tut but

BUT IT MEANS THE SIDE WILL BE PALE COLORS EG YOU CANT GET A REAL DARK RED WHEN OVERLAYING A COLOR BECAUSE YOU NEED TO SEE THE IMAGE UNDER IT

ALSO WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT IF I JUST ADD PRESET COLORS BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO REWRITE THE PALETTE FUNCTION AGAIN CAUSE IT WILL TAKE FOREVER

preset colors would work.

and you can make it so that the background is 100% transparent, and the only thing visible would be the image.

if you supplied me with the original un-edited images you used I can do it for you.
I'll have some examples of what I'm saying in a little while, I just have to whip up some quick images.

the way you change a pictures opacity is create an empty image FADER and fill it with a color and draw it on top of the original image then change the faders alpha levels

so, there's no way to just load a .png with the transparencies already applied?

you can but if you wanted to change it youd have to have an image at 10 and an image at 20

dont worry ive got opacity and fading working

its just the colors they can be a real pain in the ass making so many menus lol

so far the options have

opacity (background opacity)
main color (background color)
side color (the sidemenu color)
text color
highlighted color (selected object color)
fade (on/off fades the background images)
cheat file (file to export cheats to)

one of your codes is done. The others well I still need to work them out..

good luck in that :)
I am not good at programming but if there is somethin I can do lemme know

ok ive been making several improvements to several things some you dont know about anyway ive done the theme but the lua cant put a semi transparent image over a color or image which means you can only put color over image that way the menu looks really bad because of the color overlay so id suggest to keep the menu silver after all silver goes with everything even white/grey

heres something ive also been working on

I think the blue/grey would look good on vms aswell.

damn i was hoping to release it on sunday what if i just did a teaser or something get it out and about

would be cool :P

could someone make a logo vms cause ive changed the start screen so it blends into the theme settings and the last one was a garage opening but that was quite choppy and the garage door was green

what about this for a logo



or



this is it by the way!!!!!????

I'm not sure I like the "retro" name.
may I suggest this:



I think it'd be a very suiting name, and would work well with the overall intent of the app.

ya its gr8 ^^

yh i like ssc (good one vette)
maybe autos instead of customs

ok but that logo/start screen wont do because of the custom theme (its not preset you open the palette and then save a color you then choose from your saved color)

here vette were did you get the palm tree pic (that wa something like my original logo but not the name [couldnt find good enough images])

and i was the same with retro it didnt sound right

thanks

i dont really like the img though (i know its THEE sunshine auto logo/ad)

well, I did customs because sunshine autos is the showroom name, since this is a customization app, I think "customs" would incorporate it into the game. as a sort of "added" feature.

I got the palm trees by scanning the image in the VC manual into my computer.
The trees are the only thing I didn't redraw. everything else was done specifically for this purpose, and that's why the trees look a little jaggedy.
I'll see about scanning the booklet at a higher resolution, and getting a better image from it.

if you want, I can change the background colors to whatever you'd like.

How about that?

EDIT:

Here:

maybe without the blista compact (or is it the deluxo?)
it sticks out too much, looks like it was thrown in.

I really like the rest of it though.
I think I can incorporate your design, with mine.

I'll start on it now, and I think "sunshine customs" would probably be the best name.

edit: and in case anyone was wondering, I searched for the font used in the actual sunshine autos font, and the best I could find was "unicorn" everything except for the "o" pretty much matches up perfect, just my image has a thick brush stroke around the letters, and is italic.

there one without the bg and car

created by DDM:

here's the fullsize scan of the sunshine autos sign:



also, I never realized just how badass my scanner is.
the image in the booklet is about the same size as the image in the thumbnail.
it did a great job sizing it up.

when we get a logo ill release a beta i need some advice on some small things

my logo:

without the enter and exit:

mmm maybe youve got it right (not the actually image but the building)

i can use a building for the start screen and remove the sky and stick in the theme bg color

it would need to be a different building though quite choppy that one

the pay n spray is the best i can think of though.

edit:more crappy edits:

ya the pay n spray is better than the one b4 ;)
