Request for assistance from someone good on graphics

[JScones]

I've been meaning, for some time, to get SH3Cmdr to produce certificates to go along with the medals that you have been awarded.

For example, on the Personnel File each medal would be linked to a personalised copy of the associated award certificate.

The result would be something like the below, but with *your* name and *your* received date and newer looking, of course.



Adds no real value I guess, but I know some guys were once quite keen for this.

The problem is, I'm utterly useless on graphics.

Soooo....I wonder if anyone here would be kind enough to dummy up certificates (with blanks for where the name and date would go) for each medal type that can be awarded.

http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/ contains examples as a reference.

If you want to be artistic and overlay an image of the actual medal on the corner or something, that would be great too (then I don't need to provide a separate image).

Alternatively, I believe one can buy repro templates. I'd be happy for scans of those even

That looks kool JS. It's touches like that add to the immersion and gameplay.

@ JS

Do you have any requests in terms of file format & size (pixels)?

How would this eventually work? Would the certificate output in HTML (ala Patrol Record)? If so, you could probably have 1x cert template and then only change/renew the medal graphics as needed.:hmm:

Otherwise, I can easily get a full set together in any format you like, doing my best to replicate the originals from scratch. They're misaligned and pixelated <shudder>.

[danlisa]

Anyway, one clean version & one messy.

BTW, I've seperated all the awards and cleaned them up should you want one certificate template and just sub the award.

That looks awesome, lovely work there guys!

Not sure if I like the font, it's a little too english :hmm:

Also, theres spelling errors ( I know, gothic font is hard to read and it's easy to confuse some letters with others).

The award is also for an iron cross, not a deutsches kreuz.

Sorry for ripping you work to shreds , please forgive me

Looks great...except...the last 2 say 'Mehrmacht"! :rotfl:

[danlisa]

LOL, Boris.

I knew there would be problems with my example.:rotfl: I couldn't read the originals for sh*t and I don't understand it.

So, if someone *cough Boris*, would be kind enough, please put up an easy to read version with the necessary changes for each award, I'd be more than grateful.

Should of kept quiet.:rotfl:

Edit - Oh and I can add the umlauts if needed.

@Danlisa,


Now I don't feel so bad about the FN key thing!

[Boris]

Here's the text in plain, you did pretty well to give you some credit.
Also, it's an iron cross, so the little iron cross logo at the top should stay.

Either way, spell it out for the englander dummy and I'll make them.
