Draco1962 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have been tinkering on and off with a comprehensive Windows and GameEx theme based upon the Doom FPS series, especially with Doom 3 UAC monitor stylings in mind.Attached is a 1920x1080 wallpaper I compiled with some actual modified images Mars and the modified Union Aerospace Corporation logo seen on some of the monitors within Doom 3.This will be a bit of an undertaking as I will be composing it almost entirely from the ground up and attempting to mix some video and other effects within the theme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headkaze Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I ripped out the graphics from that UAC screensaver. You might find them handy for this theme.UAC.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sweetness! You are awesomesauce! Glad to see some interest in this one. While Wolfentstein 3D was my first FPS, Doom was my first favorite and a logical choice for a theme IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks for extracting the files, Headkaze. I will find a use or two for them for certain. I am already exploring some ideas for an intro vid and will likely use some of the elements in the making of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Happy to help out I'm a big fan of Doom so looking forward to seeing what you come up with. BTW I took a screenshot of the screensaver config screen as it might help with some design ideas. Also the font used in it is called Zekton.

Draco1962 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Got it and thanks for the font! There are a lot of elements and fine details to put into this theme. I want to keep it simple overall meaning not a gazillion different screens for each system or section, but enough to keep it interesting.

Draco1962 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Here is a clip that I plan (currently but subject to change) to incorporate in combination with another clip and some effects for the GameEx startup of the theme. Likley I will strip out the audio and replace it with the Doom 3 intro theme, in addition to some more clips/efftects added.An example of the music is here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 The credit is id software's. I just extracted it from another video from a walkthough. I need to decide on a resolution and format that will not be so big as I can easily see this theme being a monster in the GB range if not careful.

hansolo77 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I dunno, I kinda like the intro video with the original sound.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 For a gif animation its kinda huge. Using the elements that Headkaze was able to extract from the screensaver and a few extras I grabbed from elsewhere, just wanted to see what I could toss together.UAC Station Locked2.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have decided to temporarily suspend activity on this theme as I have a few others that I have delayed long enough and want to get out and, for a change, would like to work on getting my GameEx experience fine tuned and actually play some of my old favorites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Works for me, seems like you're too busy doing a LOT of things these days! Just don't forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Exactly and I would rather do 1 thing right than 10 things half-assed. I appreciate your understanding. This one will not be forgotten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
