Teamspeak 3 Theme: Planetside 2

Planetside 2 Teamspeak 3 Theme

Details

High quality Teamspeak 3 theme is for Planetside 2. Includes themes for Terran Republic, New Conglomerate and Vanu Sovereignty.

I saw on the Teamspeak website that there is currently no theme for my new favorite game Planetside 2, so I decided to create one. I have used the Planetside 2 website and the game as a base for my theme, styling it to look and feel similar overall style of Planetside 2. The theme includes a complete icon pack and styled menus. I have spent a lot of time with attention to detail to ensure the menus look as good a possible.

I have you enjoy this theme as much as I have enjoyed making it.

  • Cool. But normal skin takes only 30 mb of RAM. This one near 200 mb. This is a little too much, right?

    • I think its mainly to do with the way I have had to do the backgrounds for the windows. On the standard theme this is less of an issue however on the faction themes if you look at the images for the theme you will see what I have needed to do to make it work. Essentially I have to make a very large transparent image. If it was not big enough you would get problems if teamspeak was in full screen. My tests now show the theme to use 100MB. Originally it used 300MB. I will at some point attempt to optimise further however this may mean compromising on the themes quality. My only suggestion if RAM is an issue is to use the Standard theme which sits at around 50MB. For me this is not an issue as I have 8GB of RAM so 200MB is not much.

      Suggestions from more experienced themers are welcome to help resolve the issue

    Looks great over all. A couple of suggestions.
    1) the empire specific avatar background for each empire.
    -Allow for the different character shades… Not all are black. Good to be proud if you are but not all are.
    2) Many of us run in half the screen on a second monitor. The other half is used for system monitors and the like. So any chance the avatar character mentioned above could be auto-fit to the appropriate scale so we aren’t just looking at a shoulder.

    As I said looks great just a few brush strokes and I think you have a perfect add on… least as far as I am concerned.

      Thanks for you comments. I have now updated the theme with different soldiers on them which better fits in with smaller screens.

  • Puppy

    Would be cool if you could make versions with just the logo of each faction and/or versions that featured the faction specific vehicles.

    • This would be a good idea however this would make the theme list quite large. One option would be for me to make extra images available which would allow you to edit the .qss file and simply change the image name. I will have a look at this and may do this if I can find some decent images that work with the theme 🙂

  • Hi Daniel Gibbs

    Is there a way to make a skin stay turned on always, or do I always have to turn it on when I start TeamSpeak3
    maybe a noob question but tnx in advance

  • Sara

    Nice Theme, but sadly the teamspeak addon website isnt working, havnt worked in ages tho, but i wonder is there a way to get the theme from another site?

    thx in advance

    • Good Spot. I did notice it was down a while ago but though it would be only for a short period of time. Then I forgot about it. I will upload the scripts to my site so you can download them

      • Sara

        Wow nice, thank you so much. got it now so nice the theme!

  • I really like this Theme but the icon pack not so much. So I decided to make a custom Icon pack using PS2 images.

    And here is what it looks like:

    • These Icons look great. I may have to implement them fully in to the theme. I will let you know if I do. Thanks for the icons 😀

  • Patrick Ehlers
