Latest Par FORE! pics

New front-end (mostly done with FONText) and now featuring stripy grass and Mario-esque particles.

I'm not sure about the texture you've used for the rough. It just doesn't seem to sit very well with the other textures...for me at least.

Otherwise, it's looking very nice! :o)

And...How can you have a game without Mario-esque particles. ;o)

Looks good GFK. Did you mention before that your cup is a texture on the green? Or is it an actual hole in the geometry?

A few people have said that but there hasn't really been many suggestions as to what to do with it.

I took the project over from somebody else and most of the artwork was already done. I can't really do much in the way of artwork myself. Let's just say that adding the stripes exhibits the full extent of my artistic ability.

Its a quad, aligned to the green.

Sweet! Hope it will be as fun as Hole-in-One. :D

I'd say that the rough's texture is just too 'busy' and maybe a bit too dark.
Does that help any?

Hole In One was/is a blast, especially with more that one player! :o)

Gfk,

Try making a simpler, new texture with just slightly darker green than the darkest part of the fairway.

IPete2.

Sorry, I meant to upload this earlier but got sidetracked: rough.png 512x512@~500Kb

Have a play with that, it's nothing fancy, just a five minute faf with filters. At the very least you could use it as a starting point for your own texture, or you could just point and laugh. ;o)

This is looking fun. I like the marsh mallow clouds and the sylized sun - I see you've resisted any urge to draw a smiley face on it. :P

That top menu pic: is the blurred background being done in realtime or is it just a static image?

Static image. There are actually four background screens on the front end with some lovely cross-fading. It changes every 20 seconds or so.

That image no good to you then GfK?

Haven't had chance to try it yet. Been busy testing and fixing broken stuff today.

On the face of it, it does look a little dark though?

[edit] Just gave it a quick test. This is how dark your texture looks in the game:

Cool.
I see a spelling error in the first pic(the menu):
Type new name for player1. then press Enter
"then" should be capital, or use a comma instead of a period, and maybe a period at the end of enter?

Blimey...Miles too dark!

If neither of these is any good, then perhaps you could e-mail me the fairway texture, so I can match the shade properly. Feel free to water mark or deface the texture before you send it as I only need the colours.

GfK:

It looks like the Brush Color (or Entity Color) of the rough is set to something darkish. It shouldn't look like that with the texture Squating Neville posted.
