iTorque project creation - splash question

by Brian E Charapata · in iTorque 2D · 11/09/2011 (3:47 pm) · 1 replies

During build/project creation in iTorque2D/MyProjects/<new project dir>/projectFiles a file named Default.png is placed. This of course is the Torque splash screen. This Torque splash screen shows up in the xcode Summary Tab.

Questions:
1. The splash is a landscape image. Is there a portrait image available? Looks funny since my project is in portrait and the Torque splash comes on in landscape.

2. Is there a specific order the Torque splash must be shown as opposed my company's splash and the game name splash?

3. Right now its Torque then TwoBitStudio then Game Name. Can I change that to Game Name then Torque then Two Bit Studios?

You can use the logo guidelines found under the Company menu at the top of the page to create the images you need for a Torque splash. Earlier versions of the engine used to have a bunch of images, but they seem to be gone. It would be nice to have some readymades for different screens and orientations, though!

There's no specific order you need. I think their Default.png is there mostly as a reminder to have a default image at all :)

The default image is there to have something to look at while the actual application binary loads and starts to run, so it's up to you what you want to show first. GG are quite flexible when it comes to variations on the splash screen too. Run ideas by them if you're not 100% certain the logo guidelines explained it clearly enough for you. You're not even required to have a separate image for the logo if you follow their guidelines.
