\_/__/ 1.00 Creative Studio
------------------------------
After a couple days of work I an updated release of tgaWave CS.
I have done 10 versions of this program, several did not work.
The version that I consider "classic" is the .5 release, though
.8 is the release that changed everything. Now at the 1.00 rele-
ase we have fixed a lot of the bugs, and I have learnt a lot in
the process of creating this hack. I have learned not only to
not quit a project because of something dumb, but to continue it
until it is finished. Thanks to all the support from QJ members
for I would not have returned without you. Thanks to all that
helped me find and make applications to make this program poss-
ible. And finally, a huge shout out to nicinico, who has worked
behind the scenes fixing minor mistakes that I have made along
the way. Without nicinico, I could not make 1.00 a reality.
Enough of my monolog, and more of the program. Enjoy the 1.00
point release, and let your PSP customization fly free with the
waves!
Here is an example of a tga.(flames.tga by Z33)
And the wave once converted:
Here is whot todo!:
Downlaod the TgaWave Creative Studio v1 >>> HERE
or TGAwave v0.7 >>>HERE
I find that 0.7 makes better waves move faster and are more compact,..
TgaWave Creative Studio v1 also makes matching boot waves,.!
Inside the download is a "folder/rar file" called templates.
Use the psd template for photoshop.
you should see these layer's and its pretty clear in what layer you can draw,.. ;P
(I tried the sonic logo)
Make sure all layer's are visible and goto "Image">>>> "Mode" >>>> "Idexed colors"
Click yes for merging layers, and set all settings as shown in the picture below.
Now you can save the picture as a .tga into the "TGAwave" folder
Double click "start.bat" and you will be asked to type in the name of your .tga picture.(full name with.tga!)
If the tool says you have to make the tga smaller then lower the color count in
the indexed color option in photoshop.(eg 32 >> 20)
Ready!!
Flash the created "system_plugin_bg.rco" to flash0:\vsh\resource
This was my first try:
And some time later:
With 250 color count,.!?!? double you tee eff!! its because there is alot of black in the tga,..
I made this tga:
My final completed wave:
So after 2 hours of trying to make the best out
of making a wave with a logo i got this.
If the logo is to far to the right or left or
you want to scale your wave, power-up
Zinga's rcoeditor 1.15c and go into the page
date of the system_plugin_bg.rco and you can
change position and stretch value's of the wave
by editing "default_theme_model".
