How to make steam splash screens

[Estevan]

With Paint Shop Pro 8 , using scripts makes cutting and saving the image effortless. Download the attached file and follow the directions in Instructions.txt.

heres the all you need to make your splash screen.
make shure you resize your image to 800x600

THIS SCRIPT IS FOR PHP8 ONLY!

incase the srcipts dont save by themselves or dont automaticlly
rename themselves you can always do it your self

starting from the top left corner it takes 256x256 squares untill it reaches the end of the picture where it will take the largest piece possible that fits into a 256x256.

it is cut into 256x256 pixel tiles with the endpieces cut to fit 800x600

the naming goes like this
"800_[row a number]_[colum a letter]_loading.tga

the pictures are arranged like this : [row#,columletter]
[1a][1b][1c][1d]
[2a][2b][2c][2d]
[3a][3b][3c][3d]

[1d],[2d],[3a],[3b],[3c], and [3d] are all not exactly 256x256 beacause there are not that many pixels left avaliable for the tile.

infact
[1d] and [2d] are 32x256
[3a], [3b], and [3c] are 256x88
[3d] is 32x88

Well, this tutorial certainly is interesting. Never really liked psp, always thought photoshop was better... Also you have to remember that everyone's resolution is not on 800x600 on steam. Again, I find that using photoshop much easier because all it involves is opening the picture you want, and saing it as the tga format.
