1366*768 images

[Zé]

Good evening all,

I have been working on a background pack for the 1366x768 interface. Here are some preview pics




I intend to work my way through the Portuguese tiers but am not going to search for images for other countries.

If you would like to add some images in order that they are added to the pack then you can do so by providing me with a rar/zip that contains all of the jpgs.

The file name for players and clubs should be the full name without any spaces and all lower case with no accents. For example, André Gomes 30/7/1981: andregomes01.rgn

Please note the file names!

While I understand it can be difficult to find images larger than 1366x768 I have been using Google and searching for images larger than 2MB as these are usually of enough quality

Hopefully a couple of members will take some interest and provide backgrounds for a few clubs

Version one

Top Portuguese league complete. Well as complete as it can be considering the picture quality required.

Version two

Players with accents now have pictures. More global pictures added.

Total picture count is at 490.




All the best,

Zé

Just doing it purely for my own enjoyment atm but will upload a pack once i've done more

[BeezerCeltic1967]

would be alright if all the configs didn't conflict with each other,
say you downloaded 3 packs, only 1 set of pics from 1 pack would show if you had say a bayern munich squad background in each pack.
that pisses me off

[Zé]

Getting there 150 pictures

I have trouble with player names with accents. Something to do with me using Linux. Very annoying

[slivie]

I was thinking of doing a 1366x768 background pack myself, i done a few samples already

[Zé]

Very nice slivie We could look to combine if you do end up creating one?

So 235 pictures so far and only four teams away from finishing the top division. Once I have I will release the first version for those wanting to use it. Some more pictures:

[Zé]

Here we are, version one https://www.sendspace.com/file/v9trqu

Based on a start year of 2001 with the March update.

Now to work on lower league teams and I will work my way through other leagues on a "when I am bored with Portugal basis".

[Zé]

So I got bored and completed Arsenal



Back to the Portuguese league.

Aston Villa

This is awesome Ze, fantastic work. Going to get a game of 0102 going for first time in two years due to this & Tapani's great work.

Goofy, you had to be different mate ffs, your pics look class but in different interface size

Thanks Cam, just sorted out my problem with accents so all player pictures should appear in next release. Thanks to Archie's tool I can easily roll the update forward for future updates

[Zé]

A few new pictures from pre season As you can see players with accents are now showing.



I also updated the opening post. I will take single images as I now have a process which will make managing images easier.

[Zé]

A few randoms added.

[Zé]

Version two

Players with accents now have pictures. More global pictures added.

Total picture count is at 490.

[rfury]

how can make 1366 x 768 background rgn ?

[BeezerCeltic1967]

any chance of converting this to 800x600?

cheers

[BeezerCeltic1967]

with 800'600 would you be able to see more of the players faces?
a lot of the pics above seem to have their faces obscured.
top effort btw ze

Na it's just their choice of picture.

When I choose pics I make sure the head is going to be below the player name and boxes....etc as otherwise you can barely tell who it is.

Very easy to have cm on and your picture editor of choice to compare where the pic will sit before you convert to RGN.

[Zé]

Once I have more pictures I will convert to 800x600. Cam is right, changing their size will not make their faces appear.

While it may be easy to have a picture editor open at the same time it can be very time consuming to find large images and crop them accordingly. I find the pictures and then batch convert them to bmp while batch resizing.

mogrify -format bmp -resize 1366x768^ -gravity center -crop 1366x768+0+0 *.jpg

I then batch convert them to RGN using the tool Tapani created

[BeezerCeltic1967]

thanks ze

[Cam F]

On a side note your picture resolution quality and picture choice is first class Ze and if they are converted to 800 600 I will have a semi, tried other resolutions but 800 600 is the Daddy.
