I need an artist's help, as I need a texture but really suck at drawing one. I've seen awesome stuff in this forum, so I figured this would be the best place to ask.
Anyway, as some of you know I've been working on a chat console like those that exist in some other games: you can pull it down with some key (default key assignment is the backtick `), then it provides a scrollable backlog of chat messages and you can also type new chat messages and server commands. You can check out the code in my chatconsole branch, to test a different background you have to replace data/background_chat.jpg.
So far, the code works fine (at least in my tests on Linux) but the background is some dummy texture I made from a screenshot
I'd really love to have a new background, my requirements are:
- White text must be easy to read on it. Although having a light background and making the text black would be possible too.
- It should be seamlessly tileable because the console grows with the game window.
- It shouldn't be semitransparent (or at least only have alpha values near 255) so that the user has full control over the console transparency (using the console_alpha setting).
- It should have a free license so that celeron55 would be able to include it in the main distribution.
- Otherwise, anything goes, be creative!
