Will post my progress tomorrow :P

Sorry about the lack of updates, I've ran into some problems and I didn't have time to make any progress but I should have some soon, very soon! :)
 
No rush. Take all the time you need, dude. 👍

I'm old. We're more patient. We know the success of doing things thoroughly.
 
Yes so get ur socks pulled up and get on with it :D blumin youth of today don't know they are born. PM me if you need some beta testing again ;)

Cant wait.

My 11 year-old was just complaining this morning how slow the microwave was. I told him in my day as a kid, we had either the toaster oven or the stove to heat up our meals until I was his age when the microwave finally came into our home. To that he adds, "So, the microwave is THAT old, and man hasn't invented anything faster in over 25 years!"

Ah, the impatience of youth.
 
Ok i've been working a bit on the background and i'm not so sure which direction to take, saw this portable ops background or something and i thought it was cool (sucks that i don't have some proper old snake, i'm gathering resources at the moment and hopefully i can make improvements.

Here is what i have now:
MGS4 1080p background test1

(I guess the lightning is fooked up and it's too bright for tvs again, could you guys check and tell me if the brightness is any good? I'm about to test it on my tv)


I'll have some icons updates soon with the first xmb buttons for the main bar :)
 
That looks awesome. The characters are all dark and details are hidden, but it looks cool! The background looks fine to me.

Man, I can't wait for this one! You're doing excellent work! Keep it up! :cheers: 👍

If you need help finding pics or whatnot, let me know.

The GTP Geriatric Squad having a good old natter! :lol: ;)

... PFT! kids of today moaning about the internet not been fast enough.... When I was a kid we didn't even have the internet and computers had black and white screens!

Facebook..... don't even get me started on that!

:lol:
 
test with the game icon, i'm trying to have the exact same menu as MGS4 ingame (except the orange background and yellow side bar wasn't really fitting the orange'ish theme) so i switched for black background and orange sidebar, may still adapt things though. I'm still debating whenever i'll use red vector'ish style for the inside, we'll see :)

going to bed now, see ya tomorrow for more!
 
The only thing I can say I don't like, is the faint scan lines going diagonal. I think it would be better horizontal, a little less visible, and possibly 'dirtied up' to give it a grainer look.

Or maybe just a nice grain overlay.
 
Green looks amazing. The only thing I can suggest is maybe put the MGS4 logo layer above the green color layer so it doesn't also get the green tint from the overlay filter.

Freaking awesome wallpaper man. I love it.
 
can't find the proper mgs4 screenshot anymore but this one is from MGO, it's the same thing basically

EDIT: oh here it is
 
Oh I see now.... looking good, really faithful to the original, keep up the good work :)

I'm trying to figure out something with bullets or marks or somekind of progression of numbers but i can't come up with anything relevant :P

like User 1bar Game 2bars Network 3bars and stuff like that, i'll get there though :P

Keep on suggesting things ;D

I love it man :) I wish you'd get as much credit as moDus, because IMO, your themes are a tad cleaner and easier to read, while his seem...well, not to insult him, but at times, his icons are generic. That, and when he makes a set of icons, he slaps it on like 4 themes with different colors. Keep up the good work :)
 
As i expected really outstanding work. Cant wait.
 
Looks promising!

Computers with black and white screens, yes, and sending your code off to be compiled overnight. Being allowed to eat fish and chips out of newspaper and coping without a mobile phone...........

I said it to him many times, usually his background works are really, REALLY nice but he lacks proper icons and it seems just like rushed things and rehash of his old ones, sadly :(


More updates tonight by the way! I'm just finishing usual busy day work :P
 
well, there are lots of mgs4 themes out there so, each on his own :P
 
I'm not downloading it. I'm waiting for Alba's theme. It looks great, so far, so why downloading anything else?
