AJ's NFSHS Vidwall/Showcase Toolkit

______________________________________________________

A small set of tools for easy vidwall and showcase creation for NFSHS

Contains:

-----------

-Vidwall/showcase files compiler, it uses FSHTool which is packed in the files

-A GIMP script that generates a vidwall from 2 layers, it works best under GIMP 2.8 (or a 2.10 with the 2.8 filters installed - which can be found here: https://www.gimpscripts.net/2020/11/filters-from-gimp-28-that-have-become.html) but it works fine under 2.10 as well.

-GIMP templates for photo album slides and banners.

How to use:

-----------

-Extract the files to some folder in your hard drive

-Edit the bmp files in the bitmaps folder accordingly (highly recommended to the templates provided)

         -You can follow my EA-style vidwall tutorial here: https://nfsmodderscorner.blogspot.com/2018/04/nfshs-tutorial-creating-ea-styled.html

                 -Same for the photo album slides and banner here: https://nfsmodderscorner.blogspot.com/2023/01/how-to-make-nfshs-photo-album-banner.html

         -Alternatively you can install the GIMP script for the vidwalls and follow these steps:

             -Move the nfshs-vidwall.scm file to the scripts folder of your GIMP user data (in Windows, it's located in %APPDATA%\.gimp-2.8 for version 2.8 or %APPDATA%\GIMP\2.10 for version 2.10) . The script can be found under Filters > Artistic > NFSHS Vidwall

             -Open GIMP and make a new 381x178 px (for normal vidwalls)/381x355 px file (for showcase vidwalls). Or open any of the existing images

             -Paste your background image as a new layer, move/scale/rotate it as desired and then paste the logo as a new layer

-Run the script, adjust parameters and hit OK

-Save the vidwalls as 24-bit BMPS with with the "don't write color space information" option enabled

-Run the "compile.bat" file, and follow the prompts there.

-Generated files will be in the "output" folder.
