EE Main Website Backgrounds

mrjawapa · 2015-04-10 02:31:04

Something like what zoey made is what I'm looking for in patterns.

Nou · 2015-04-10 11:55:01

Try them, give us a preview. I'm not sure if they would look good.

mrjawapa · 2015-04-10 14:20:43

I'll set up a working demo of the random background thing in a little bit

I made a couple more tiles!

1. Cave

(single)

(6x6)

2. Pipes (just noticed I need to fix one of the pipes)

(single)

(6x6)

3. Neon (May need to be darkened because it's too bright)

(single)

(6x6)

Any suggestions for new tile sets or for improvements on these?

I think you should use levels instead patterns to like, show off the community's work and it could work as inspiration.

Yeah, I think so too.

The patterns have turned out to be rather boring...

I like the patterns and just wanted to say thank you for using the "Lights On/Off" feature. I needed this so badly.

That's why I wanted a preview

Too bad you can't use something like this

I like the look of well made patterns (not eye rape). They just make the page look better then an actual level as a background.

The problem with that is that it may not work well as a background Dazz. I think just picking famous or aesthetically pleasing maps and have the site background to randomly select one of those every time the page is loaded would work best.

I know, that's why I said ''too bad'' but sure randomly select one by one would be nice too, Idk.

Well, for me it's settled: I don't like the patterns at all.

I'd say go with this as well.

mrjawapa · 2015-05-17 22:32:54

I got the random background image working!

Not sure what caused it to not work before, but it seems to be out of the way. Once I get a library of world images, I'll get it rolled out.

Hexagon · 2015-05-17 22:35:49

I really like this idea. When a level's image is placed as the background, maybe have a link to the level and the owner somewhere on it in the corner so that I can play it if I think it looks really cool.

I may do this.

What if a small piece of javascript loaded a small file containing block coordinates, and then placed them on the background dynamically using css sprites? The entire image would still be there, but you'd only have to load some metadata and the block list image (which can be cached.)

Because idk how to do that

I think we could do that. If you need help, feel free to ask!

Don't use blocks. Use smileys. Resize them and put them on the screen.

I made a quick demonstration on Photoshop:

Alright, so since the random image is working I want to get a big database of worlds. So, take some world pics and post them here. I would prefer to use large/massive/huge worlds. I cant use small/medium world's. I would like to steer away from great worlds because they take a bit to load. But, if its a good worldsmthen I'll use it.

Yandax · 2015-05-30 20:26:11

Do they have to be your worlds?

oranj · 2015-05-30 20:42:59

I don't really like the random worlds idea. You could end up with a random empty world and that's quite boring. Personally, I think it would be cool to have a combination of random worlds which are the most wooted and played of the day :0 That would usually ensure that the worlds would be pleasing looking and most likely meet the aesthetic of everyone
