I thought it would be very neat to have a customized console background for KR. And from earlier threads, it seems that everybody wants a background that is readable in any location, with any color of text. So I decided to make a console background for KR!

well, it didn't go so well,(even with sen's great instructions) because it was my first project ever with pk3's and shaders and everything lol. I asked Sen to take over the project and he did and he did amazing!!

If there are any complaints about it, it can be always be updated

The new console background works great and is made 90% by senbou (I just made the picture lol)

Here is link to the pk3, add to base

Credit goes to Sen! thanks a lot and goodwork!! :D

I don't know what's wrong with it, but it won't work in JKA for me, and when I open it with Pakscape, it says "Error reading PK3 file."

yeah, I don't think I learned how to properly use my FTP account for my website yet lol, I'll have to find somewhere else to upload it

edit: okay this url should work, another thing that might have been up is that you might have another console modifying pk3 in your base folder?

Oh, I must of missed this topic. I think this is a great idea, kudos Aayci.

If I may, I would recommend a darker gray and perhaps a lite blended texture of some kind? Like stone perhaps?

Something so it is not the same color throughout which would help in the reading of the console text I think.

Also, where did you get the "order of the black sun" text? Did you take that right out of my video? haha

Good ideas Rav


Can now downloaded from http://www.knights-reborn.org/downloads ... onsole.zip

Also, note the diligent Necros has updated this post http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/vie ... php?t=4534 and the download section http://www.knights-reborn.org/index.php?act=mods

Let us know (Sen or Warr) if you do change it so it can be updated



<-- Paranoid *Checks quickly to see if Rav didn't lock this before I post*
