Clavus Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 PRIZE10.000 Green-Coins < OR > any Steam game under 10 euros.WHAT'S UPSince the loading screen GMod uses is now basically a website, we can make our own custom loading screen. You can find the default GMod screen here: http://loading.garrysmod.com .gmodnews.com has an article on some custom loading screens that were created: http://gmodnews.com/?p=959WHAT TO DOCreate a design mock-up (or working website) for the loading screen of the Zombie Survival server. Best design gets the prize.So just to be clear: it DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK just yet.Multiple submissions are allowed.TIPS* Since it's a website, we can pretty much query all our database data. For example, you could show the top zombie killers. We don't know what player is joining (yet) so you can't show player-specific stats or something.* Since the player is loading a map, the page shouldn't contain too much CPU intensive content (so a javascript game is out of the question).* For javascripters, the functions that GMod calls on the page (view the source of the default page):SetFilesNeeded( iNeeded )SetFilesTotal( iTotal )DownloadingFile( filename )SetStatusChanged( stawtus )DEADLINEFriday 21st of January, 23:59DISCLAIMERI have the right to suspend the contest if I find the quality of the entries lacking.Discuss the contest and post your progress in this topic Quote Link to comment

Chikennugget1 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Are we obliged to do something animated or can we just make a simple picture? Quote Link to comment
Navo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I think that the L4D2 intro would do just fine as ZS has already ripped off all of L4D's menu's. Edited January 13, 2011 by Squirrel-Dude Quote Link to comment
Clavus Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Are we obliged to do something animated or can we just make a simple picture?Anything you can think off, as long as the page itself doesn't take too long to load. Quote Link to comment

Just keep in mind that the lowest resolution to take into account is 1024x768, but as long as the idea comes across it's fine. Quote Link to comment
