I have seen so much quality and impressive artwork here at SEN. Some of these signatures ppl have created are truly works of art! While I am no stranger to art, I am a complete newbie when it comes to computer graphic art. Only recently have I begun exploring and experimenting with the basic editing capabilities of Adobe photoshop and am very fascinated with its workings tho know very little.

Growing up in SoCal, I have enjoyed building probably close to 30 custom cars/trucks/bikes in my 40 year lifetime. So while I enjoy art for what it is, I strongly feel Art should have some sort of function. So here with Starcraft I have pixelated a unique navigational menu system that showcases my “primitive” graphic art. While this has probably been done before (seems everything in Scraft has been done at some time or another), I’ve never seen any examples of this which surprises me. Using Starcraft’s in game menu’s/screens would seem an ideal way to promote your custom graphic art and creative potential. But then again, Maybe not?

Ok here is my primitive and “functional” starcraft artwork if anyone is interested in this old man’s work. I am posting a "thumbnail" and a link to actual picture. I scanned through the forum rules and didn't find aything regarding "regulations" of posting "images" just "signatures", but I don't want to do anything "stupid".

If you would like to see this Art "functioning" just run this small cwad that “temporarily” patches starcraft. No starcraft files are physically touched as it works with starcraft “memory”.

The multiplayer "create game" screen was only 1 of a few screens that I altered. I choose it to display because it was the most dramatic change. Also the single-player create custom game screen as well as the "list replay" screen. I was just really tired of only having 4 maps/replays to choose from at one time.

As far as the "difficulty of computer players?" I guess you're refering to the "main screen" when you ran this little program? Or possibly the "Ai" affiliated with my signature? Here is the main screen that you might be referring to?

well I actually was a little sneaky (or Lazy) and included an advanced Ai with this artwork too. I didn't mention this in first post because I feared getting flamed out of this forum, and the artwork was my main focus. Basically this file is the same file I have on another topic only renamed and a little smaller file size because the "Advanced Replays" were left out.

updated correct file blushing.gif
The other file "BlizzHard.zip" which also includes some replays is here Attached File BlizzHard.zip ( 224.49k ) Number of downloads: 1

More details about the topic can be read here "BlizzHard" The campaigns revisted only tougher.

Basically the internal Ai was rewritten along with the entire broodwar "single-player" campaigns. All this in a 100kb file?... Yep! So just start a game against computer with this file and viola... One favor I ask... Don't go easy on comp! KILL EM GOOD! Good luck... you're gonna need it.

If you would like to experience more on the Ai or have a "physically installed" menu system (not a cwad) you can check my small webpage here

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask... I know I can be confusing most of the times whenever I write/speak... Basket case Me Am I

Oh and above all.... Thnx again for checking out file/artwork and your nice comments.
