PRIZE
10.000 Green-Coins < OR > any Steam game under 10 euros.

WHAT'S UP
Since the loading screen GMod uses is now basically a website, we can make our own custom loading screen. You can find the default GMod screen here: http://loading.garrysmod.com .
gmodnews.com has an article on some custom loading screens that were created: http://gmodnews.com/?p=959

WHAT TO DO
Create a design mock-up (or working website) for the loading screen of the Zombie Survival server. Best design gets the prize.

So just to be clear: it DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK just yet.

Multiple submissions are allowed.

TIPS
* Since it's a website, we can pretty much query all our database data. For example, you could show the top zombie killers. We don't know what player is joining (yet) so you can't show player-specific stats or something.
* Since the player is loading a map, the page shouldn't contain too much CPU intensive content (so a javascript game is out of the question).
* For javascripters, the functions that GMod calls on the page (view the source of the default page):

SetFilesNeeded( iNeeded )
SetFilesTotal( iTotal )
DownloadingFile( filename )
SetStatusChanged( stawtus )

DEADLINE
Friday 21st of January, 23:59

So it can just be an image? Damn.. gotta install photoshop again

[Chikennugget1]

Are we obliged to do something animated or can we just make a simple picture?

[Navo]

I think that the L4D2 intro would do just fine as ZS has already ripped off all of L4D's menu's.

Anything you can think off, as long as the page itself doesn't take too long to load.

If one includes a picture, does it need a set resolution?

Nope. Just keep in mind that the lowest resolution to take into account is 1024x768, but as long as the idea comes across it's fine.

[Mathematic]

I'll try to make one too.

Well thats what i can call loading screen, but maybe some more "flashy" (more effects? lights? FoV? etc.)

[Mathematic]
