New game select screen

[jbouley]

To prevent confusion, I'm not only updating the game select screen to say 2.21B (obviously), but I'm changing the image. Here are the candidates (shrunk down to save you on loading time...they will be 800x600 pixels in the mod itself).

Where do you get those images? I've been searching the web for ages, finding either complete junk or some of those having a large copyright cross image.

[jbouley]

Don't remember where I got those specifically...a lot of times, I find these things on 3-D Rendering sites (of which there are billions on the Web, it seems).

Usually, if there is any copyright mark at all, it's small and in a bottom corner.

Do a google search for "3-D render" or "3D render" and you should come up with plenty of good sites with huge galleries or links to galleries very quickly.

I'm torn between #1 and #3. I can't for the life of me figure out what #2 is supposed to be.

I say #1. The gate is sooooo very big

@ Max-Violence:
#2 is a desktop with a book, globe, candle and some inexplicable other item I've never been able to figure out.

@ pmpch:
Did you have any vote on which you prefer? So far, #1 is winning by 1 vote!

Its a very hard one here... Im debating between #1 and #3 myself... I wouldnt think that the alchemy thing (#2) would be any good, and its just a plain one

The third with the prison or whatever it is is cool... (And if i see that right, there is a skeleton over there)

The second is just another large gate, Nothing really special.

I think that i go with the third?

I lean towards #3 myself. But you need to be careful where you put the text, or it will get obscured by buttons or the flaming D2 logo.

Theres something about number 2, a bit nostalgic.

My vote in favor of nr2.

[onyx]

One vote for #3.

[Gubbinz]

number 3 for me

The text falls just a hair underneath the flaming D2 logo, actually, so it's pretty much perfect positioning. I copied the positioning from my 2.21a game select screen, which was perfect positioning just from dumb luck. I knew I needed to avoid the logo and the buttons, but wasn't sure how to measure it out...and I guessed right.
