Hey SHiZNO, hows your project coming along ??

you may or may not know that i have been doing MSDash modding recently ?

i have a little idea for you hows this sound?

ok well as i have been working with xbx files, i can say images Look MUCH MUCH sharper than bmp and jpg, ALSO they are MUCH MUCH smaller in size, hows 256k for a 1024 x 512 image  ??

anyways a little something for you to think about.

also how can i use this as a template to make a background for you ?? its in .txt file format, i convert it and it wont display

yeah, its really a JPG file renamed .txt to defeat Geocities anti-leach scripts...

they should be saved as BMP in the end tho (i went with BMP for this release, so ANYONE could edit/create their own backgrounds)

OH, another thign i wanted to discuss, was saving...
As of now it saves to "D:\" so it -HAS- to be played on the HDD...

I -really- dont want to deal with the 'official' xbox save mechanics right now, and trying to access another partition such as E:\ ended in an error opening the file so...im not sure if this is the fact i was running it on a debug BIOS, or that you cant just access the E parition for some fucked up reason? I noticed XPORT saves are on E: tho, so someone tell me what to do about this!

You need to mount the partition to drive e: so then you can access it.

Okaaay...well i did a Retail build today, and it was about 12mb(*.*, all files), but compressed (RAR) it was only 2.12 (due to bmp).. so thats okay i suppose.

All im waiting for now is for jizz to get me that last background (Champ), if you dont want to do it jizz, can you tell me where you got that photo, and the text? i can do it myself if you want

Well, i decided to revamp the menu, and did it all over, its decent (not as good as the emu-skins IMO, but its pretty good for a cheap homebrew game)

i took 3 new screenshots just for historical purposes..]

one showing off the final menu

one gameover

Here's a quick hint for lowering the size. Convert your bmps to tgas. You can load them exactly the same way and they're a fraction of the size but still good quality.

Actually, JPGs work too.

TGAs are nice, though, because they support transparency.
