love the 3d!!

but why are the resized images not transparent??

eg

http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/3d/160/224/RMCE01.png

So you cant use them with the gui loader!!or am i missing something??

mhh looks like an error in djtaz php script on his site. please download my coverpack a few post before

yes this is a problem with the transparency script - ill take a look when i get time.
I just wanted to 'pretty' up the site a little for those using it. I had that look done for forsaekns CSM but he didnt go ahead and do it (or at least hasnt yet) so i just used the look for the boxart site instead cause i liked the style of it.

one very very very good option is.....the loader could detect a new version and auto download the new version in the server !! ...the usb loader coverflow is very cool too. almost working like the new dell pc.

 

[djtaz]

Im not sure how a loader would be able to detect a new version from a website though , how does it determine whats new and whats not as it doesnt have access to the system logs for dates.

 

[Solecist]

the homebrew channel works that way ...so ....its all just a matter of programing and have a server !

So vettacossx, when will you release the Full & complete CD covers Pack ?

tks

well bro to be honest i stopped when pune made this thread...it was hard enough keeping up with one thread just for the dols and it seems alot of people are now contributing so no need for more extra posts!

I renamed,resized 538 of the custom disc art files (region free 3 digits) and i dont think i was mentioned in the first post LOL like at all...

though Djbubba2002,donnyp,supercool330 and djtaz and the other active contributers know i helped thats good enough...at least pune listened when i asked him to credit everyone else but he just left me out of the first post i must have changed to a darker colored sheep overnight hahahaha

(im sure he just forgot but i gotta bust on 'em hahaha)

I really have alot of other things i enjoy contributing to as well though... like Mugen (i have created a build with over 1200 characters called PlayGround Mugen V9 Battle of Mühldorf), my halo for PSP (halo lost generations) and Halo WII (q1 port mod) plus Buby78 and I work on wii themes (CSM's) alot this past month so to be honest im all over the god damn scene at once bro! like flies are on shit vetta is on brew LOL


Heres the link to the ones We did this week djbubba2002,donnyp,supercool330, and myself...

(nindim is to thank for those 200 some originals but did not take part in the disc arts that have custom style... we did djbubbas custom style design pack with 3 digits and did them specifically for the Gui loader to contribute back

)


@ DJTAZ

give djbubba2002 a PM he has most all those disc arts in FULL SIZES (un-edited not resized ya know) and i can rename them (the big images) for your cause i know it will be useful in the long run (may take me a couple of days doing 497 in one night was taxing) but if he tossed them i know i have them in one of my external wd books so just PM me if it turns out djbubba tossed them because i saw your last post and that method makes a lot of sense bro! i can see why you need the originals it should save ALL of us from having to go through it againg and will help all the loaders....kudos on your organization djtaz your an impressively intelligent dude and an asset to the scene!

EDIT:

I have located the original pack Djbuuba2002 supplied to us the images are 1417x1417 i have began to renam the 500+ images and have about 100+ of them already renamed to 3 digits be patient and i should have the rest done by tomorrow or the next day with no problem at all ( i am renaming these between GFX i am doing for another psp brew lol)

Thanks for this mate

 

[deakphreak]

Djtaz.... I think the site http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/index.php is yours and just wanted to let you know that you may want to spice up your security a bit. Anyone can very easily get any php code from your website. If you are not sure how this is done, please send me a PM and I can show you the place that I had found within the first minute on your site. I doubt anyone would try to hack it, but still.... I would hate for all this work to go to waste.

Here we go .. this what alot of people was waiting for, here is All USA Disc covers The NEW theme.. Enjoy

HERE IS WHAT they LOOK LIKE

Rar 00
RAR 01
RAR 02
RAR RAR

[vettacossx]

thanks djbubba2002 i have PM'd my friend Icefire on wadder to straiten out the confusion in regard to our last few PM's (I dont even know whats going on with this scenes undercover drama lol all i know is im gonna defend all you guys i call friends

and i appreciate you all just in case this happens to be my last post

) and again sorry for the pain in the ass bro

In regard to these new ones i will rename them and then send them to DJTAZ rather than resize them

this way we can ALL enjoy the same usefull result using the resize options DJTAZ added to his boxart site

my only question for DJTAZ is should they be transparrent? before i send them all renamed?

 

[djtaz]

Yeah , the disc arts have to be transparent - loaders look for them to be transparent when they are at 160x160 and they will only stay that way if they are transparent to begin with.

Thanks for all your hard work guys.

Awesome! Great Job.
Where can I find a list of all the game codes so that I can rename them?

 

[Solecist]

oh guys, i just ask a little tiny thing please.... someone can tell me what is the definitive working method of the usb loader about the images? ...resolutions, transparency... 3d or not... theotherzone have 3d etc... but my r137 doesnt read them ...i had to aply other images that i downloaded from another site. what is this transparency all about ? the images look all the same...having and not having transparency... :S im looking like a nerd....but i assure u i m not.. this is just a confusion for a guy who stops reading 30 pages in one day... the next day...to follow the mates its complicated...

 

[djtaz]

All USB loaders are different and have different settings and options.
The images are on the other zone for people to get as they need them and its attempting to cater for any style of image and format that people need.
You need to find out what image your loader needs and get that image for it.

Sizes can be changed and generally images are transparent, though i believe the boxart might not be working for transparency on the site yet (the original images are transparent) so i need to figure out why thats not working.


Ohh yes , and the high quality disc images have now been added to the site - it takes these images as a preference and uses the other ones if they fail.

Hi,
Covers are in 160x224 dimension with a litte reflection.
You can make your own cover. Look on the archive.

enjoy

[Cue2]

Do we have a database of full covers somewhere or just fronts?
It would be cool to program a nintendo style selection screen like:
http://www.dailymotion.com/us/lang/en/vide...le_fun?from=rss
I would look into the wii scene if I get more free time and if the database exists it would make things a lot easier.

 

[Moose13]

I followed the links for the images on the main thread.
When I click the "Select All/Unselect All" button, nothing happens.
I then click on each one individually and made a zip and downloaded, but it only included the flat cover art, not the 3D cover art or the disc art.
Is this a bug on the site, or is it my browser?

 

[djtaz]

Its neither - the site doesnt have an option to download the 3d art in batch - just the flat covers

 

[icebrg5]

Is there a cover pack for official ntsc discs yet?

Haven't seen one posted but with the way the board moves the post could get buried in no time.

 

[reddevilmeuk]

is there a current download for all the 3D Art Work ?

by the way it's great
