BlameThePixel!

Well I've finally made it!

After 14 hours I think, I've created something so say the least. The new frontend I've created for Worms World Party kicks all the cartoony, fat icons and buttons from the default frontend and replaces it with a nice cool white and blue theme.

But for those of you who don't knwo what a frontend is, then I shall explain,
A frontend (in my definition) is the set of images used on the icons and buttons in the pre-game view. So when you wan't to select No Teleport At Start Of Game, you'll click one of the images used in the frontend. What I've gone and done is change the image used.

I've tried to make the frontend small in download size for those of you with 56k modems. The ZIP file is only 5.88MB big. So no real excuse except not owning a copy of WWP.

The instructions on how to get it to work are included in the ZIP file. If you experience any problems or bugs, psot them here please.

And here's another paragraph where I'll praise the helpfull ppl who have helped me:

The Wishmaster for helping me out with getting the images to come out right in-game.

Dreameater for sending me K-lite which enabled me to download Adobe Photoshop 7.

ZoGgEr! for telling me how to get the palettes working correctly in AP7.


Well that's all the thanx I've got to mention. But there's a feeling deep down inside me that I've forgotten something...


Ah yes! The link to where you can download it. Well for now I'm uploading it to one of my server's so people can download it and then I'll end up uploading it to BTP if that's alright with some of you admins.

Download It From Here: http://members.lycos.co.uk/thepope98/WWP_Frontend_003366.zip

(Wouldn't mind a mention on the Home page News bit either, unless you want me to stick with User News. Although I think a new frontend is just as worthy as mention as a new BTP design...)

Anyway, thanks for all the help and enjoy Frontend 003366.


PS I'll put it back to 'Normal' type thread after a while.

Screenshot?
You can also upload it here I think (dont know if theres a catagory for other/frontend)

well yeh, he says he will upload it, and he does have the power.

Just upload it to misc if you want.

edit: but did you really need to include all those files that you didn't change?

Screenshot...Hmmm, have to get hypersnap again.

And there's always Misc files that it can go to but that doesn't get as many visits IMO.

Screenie on teh way.

I presume that this is so you dont have to overwrite it - ie you can switch back and forth between frontends.

I don't know though

I though it'd be easier for those that didn't want too amny instructions...

I would get it but the fact it says pope at the top puts me off.

The fact that some ppl try to pass of my work as their own puts me off from not putting it there.

There's been many occasions where ppl have used and/or said it was made by them. I didn't spend 14 hours creating something only for it to be passed off as someone else's work.

Although if u wanted to edit it, just edit that background in the graphics folder...

A positive comment! Finally all that time has paid off!

Ok pope, gd for me but where do i save the file?

Just read the ReadMe.

Nice frontend! I won't download it though; I never play WWP anymore.

omg, HarrY$1hopes that having a new front end will fix HarrY's problems with wwp

/me dls it

doesnt fix my prob tho, im sure that its good, no w8. ill beable 2 use it on my other pc!
