I made these two desktop backgrounds out of boredom a while back and figured someone here might like them.
Blue Storm PvP
+ Show Spoiler +
Chupung Ryeung Ramps
+ Show Spoiler +
To make these you just need a good replay, some picture editor like photoshop and a lot of patience to merge screenshots... If you have them, i recommend resolution hack and weed to make it a lot easier.
If anyone has some good replays on pretty/scenic maps like Carthage or Tau Cross etc, post them and I'll make a background of it when I have time... Bonus points if the map has a similar aspect ratio to blue storm that lends itself easily to desktop backgrounds....

Thanks bro.. I already knew that.. I'm just a lazy asshole

Yeah I just liked the ramps on sin chup and wanted a picture of that... It's not easy to get the whole map into a background picture when it's so vertical though, there's very few 4:3 or 16 maps

It's the dimensions of the map. Shin CPR is kind of a vertical map which doesn't lend itself to desktop backgrounds, as per the purpose of the OP. If you just wanted to take gigantic pictures,
then it would obviously be less truncated.
Pretty cool desktop backgrounds.

Sick PvP but I mean white seems to have WAY more than 200 supply. I see three full groups of dragoons, at least 10 archons 2~3 control groups of zealots and an arbiter with some probes.

well he was taking separate screenshots i believe, so not all that stuff was happening at once

Why are there stasised vultures in a PvP? =D
Love it overall though. It's now one of my backgrounds.
EDIT: After scrutinizing it they look more like zealots. T_T I thought it was like an easter egg.

wow this is very very sick
|
that first one is good but bottom 1/10 of the map is cut off , and top 1/20, and side edges
|
looks really sweet
are you going to make more?
|
What's with the scary eye just outside of top-rights main =x
EDIT: Also, sucks to be a probe at bottom-lefts min-only ^^. Action all over the map, very cool.
Was this all happening at one point in the replay, or did you just take take screenies of the action then merge it? Someone count the supply asap!

I think they are merged from different time points during the game

Cool background there.
A couple of pretty obvious clues give away that this isn't a picture of the map as it looked at one point. First of all, as has been mentioned, the amount of units is way too large. Also the way the bases has been mined (out) doesn't look like it would in a normal game. Lastly, look at all that action! I really doubt someone would be able to storm that many places at the same time, just to give an example. Really cool concept though, I must say!

this is amazing! Can you tell us more about your methodology? How did you get the screens to line up perfectly?

man those are badass make more lol they look really cool
|
That looks sick, wish there was a prog that could capture the entire map.

The PvP on Blue Storm looks fucking sick as fuck....

It's not all happening at the same time I believe.

Love the PvP background. I would use it, but I just switched mine, and I like it too much to change over quite yet.
|
It's not hard at all. all you have to do is press PrSc over 9000 times while wou move the screen around, trim edges on each in PS, and merge images. You dont have to do it manually btw.
|
lmao @ the pvp, dude thats really good. can you make more with battles and shit?
|
Holy... This is so damn good. I look forward to see more of these kinds =) Epic TvZ plz
|
|
|
Wow nice, It would be really cool if someone did this with a famous/epic progammer match.
The Rock vs Chalrenge?
Epic TvTs?
Firebat hero vs Savior?
It might be hard to find those replays though

I personally just right click the red [image loading] thing, and click view image. Not sure if it works on IE though.

Holy shit that PvP is badass!

i wanna see one with a sick tvz going on
|
and the images finally loaded for me, the pvp is really good. i like how it compresses different moments of the game into 1 screenshot so it just looks so much more epic.
|
how to u make the bluestorm maps a wall paper? what program u used?
|
Wallpapered the PvP one, thank you!
I think zvp or tvp would be more visually impressive in this form than tvz -- i'm not sure if screenshots can do the fluidity of tvz/zvt justice.

Although, I am still using the PvP one right now <3

I love this idea, so when I woke up today I decided to try it, on a smaller scale though.
I picked a battle from the Reach vs Flash game on Bluestorm, from the TL replay database.
Here are the results, if anyone's interested:-p
+ Show Spoiler [full result, 1864x840] +
"wallpaperized" versions:
+ Show Spoiler [cut to 1280x1024] +
+ Show Spoiler [scaled to 1280x1024] +
its not nearly an entire map, just 9 screenfuls of battle assembled. I will never do a full map, manually at least, but I might do other battles like this, pm me or post here if you have any suggestions. (with replays, duh.)
Let me know what you think, anyway.

can u make like 1680x1050?
