Taz, here's my interpretation of "Taz-in-Space"..
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">WOW! Don't I look handsome!
Kinda makes me wonder what I'd look like BILLBOARD SIZE! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Woudldn't want to impose, but could i possibly have one?
Skulk means to lurk and hence skulky has something to do with lurking, aka gollum from lord of the rings.
But whatever you make up works too.

Actually though, the feet might bee too much. It was supposed to look like a guy hiding in the bushes and this, while humorous, look like a little green bushy guy sitting on the ground.

Geoschmo, when I was making this Avatar for Skulky, I almost followed through on an even bigger gag,.. I was going to put even bigger feet in front of the bush (hiding the eyes) and animate the feet spreading appart in a 'V' to reveal the eyes! but, I decided to shrink the feet and have the eyes there all the time. Oh and I thought of showing just the toes peeking out the botton of the bush, but because of the size of the pic it looked even more like a short guy with green hair!
I'm sure Skulky has a sense of humor, so don't worry, and besides I'm the one who made the interpretation of your suggestion!
Cheers!
geoschmo
December 11th, 2002, 06:45 PM
Hehe. It would be cool if the eyes blinked every once in a while. And when they were closed they dissaperaed completely and all you saw was the bush. But I know how much you hate animating the avatars. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

They say great minds think alike, I just think you read my mind! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Oh, and rotating the planets is out of the question, I could however spin around in my swivel chair while I make them if you think that would translate well into the avatar pics? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

December 12th, 2002, 01:34 AM
Jimbob, here's how I would do it..
First click on the link to the pic you want (back a few pages in the forum) Then in the new window that opens click in the address window at the top of the page and highlight the URL.. press ctrl-c to copy the url to memory,.. then close the window to go back to this forum.. click on the 'my profile' link next to the intel forums logo (top right) on you profile page, click on 'view/update' profile.. near the bottom of the profile page is an option to choose a new avatar pic. somewhere on the next screen is a place for the url, click in the box and press ctrl-v to paste the link in, choose select this url or some such and voila, Oh and don't forget to select 'update profile' at the bottom of the page before you leave.
Hope this helps.. Cheers!

First click on the link to the pic you want. Then in the new window that opens click in the address window at the top of the page and highlight the URL.. press ctrl-c to copy the url to memory,.. then close the window to go back to this forum.. click on the 'my profile' link next to the intel forums logo (top right) on you profile page, click on 'view/update' profile.. near the bottom of the profile page is an option to choose a new avatar pic. somewhere on the next screen is a place for the url, click in the box and press ctrl-v to paste the link in, choose select this url or some such and voila, Oh and don't forget to select 'update profile' at the bottom of the page before you leave.<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I could've typed out how to do it myself but why work so hard when David already did so? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

WoW! It's been a full week since I started this thread and I've created over 240 new avatars (not including retouches!) That's some 34+ every day on average. If you will permit me, I'm going to babble a bit in celebration..
First, I created this 'Retro-Avatar' for the occasion..
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1039807686.gif
While browsing some of the other threads I caught sight of a message that had people talking about the good ol' days of 300 baud modems. I posted a short reply about the very first download I made.. (a music demo called Passionately!).. my eyes glazed over and I thought back to one of my favorite games of all time, 'Miner 2049er' for the Atari 800 computer. That's what inspired me to create this little avatar. I also remember one of the first 'space exploration' games I played that I also liked a lot, it was called 'Universe 2' by Omnitrend. One of the things I loved about that game was how you could mine for precious ores, and mining was a risky business. If you stayed on the surface too long you would loose your mining craft. Another great 'Space' game was 'Sundog: The Frozen Legacy' Aaah the memories.. Space Empires:IV has a lot going for it, and I do enjoy firing it up from time to time. My only problem is I suck at strategy and have rarely won a game (in fact I don't think I have ever won a game of SE:4) I really love the 'exploration' and technology part of the game, but while I'm busy doing that the AI guys are preparing to whoop my ***! LoL Question, is there an option to turn off the 'agressive/conquer' part of the game? that would be cool for wimps like me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
But I digress, I'm having fun with this avatar thing right now, and I hope you all are enjoying the eye-candy I've been flooding in here.
Have a Great Day People, Cheers!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, short of playing completely by your lonesome with no AI's at all, you could turn off the random AI emires and only have the game place random neutral empires. That way they would all stay in their own systems and allow you the freedom to explore the galaxy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I take it the program that you are using is a commercial product...<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">..When I took it upon myself to create these avatar images, I decided on a 'look' and 'style' for the end product. I then 'stuck' with that 'look' to keep things simple. In doing so I established both a clean look and common visual style that has been recieved very well by the people here in the forums.
..Take your avatar pic for example. Before it was pretty much a run of the mill avatar.. once I decide to rework it, the results look like this..

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1039822695.gif
..now I'm not going to say it's better or worse than the original, just that now it 'fits' in with the new look and style that I have been working with.
As with all my avatar pics you are free to use them or not. The choice is entirely up to you. But now you have a choice, and that is always a good thing! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I mentionned the art package I'm using lower in this thread, scroll down or back a few pages and you will have the answer to that question.

That same Version still runs well on STeem and WinSTon. (also I don't feel bad about using the emulator, I still have the original ROM chips [set of six] from my first 520ST sitting in the drawer of my desk.! I also have an original copy of both Dungeon Master and Sundog(so technically I still have the right to use the roms, and play the games even though I don't have the computer!)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep, just something that I cropped from a picture of the back of my car. I just didn't feel like going into PoV and creating a model to make a nice image. Thanks for the image, makes a nice birthday present for me (today is my 40th).

Shadow Master
December 15th, 2002, 04:12 AM
Could you make me an avatar?
Specifications:
The avatar has a pale face which has never seen the light of day, his eyes narrow angrely as he looks at you. His hair and irises appear to be flowing lava. As you look closer you notice that he has no eyebrows just empty palid skin. Add the polished effect except have a dark rather than light spot.
How many people think this guy can pull it off?

For some reason the first pics didn't look very evil. don't know why

The gesture is intended to convey both respect and honor while maintaining one's own dignity.
Cheerio, chap, this has been a quick lesson in proper mannerisms. I most certainly hope this clarifies the phrase "Hat's off!" so that you may in turn use it to your advantage.

If so then did you remember to push the button that says "Select this avatar" (or something like that) which is located in the top left corner under the picture of the avatar you uploaded.

Then go to "View/Update profile" Scroll down to where your current avatar is. Then click the button by it that says: "Select a different avatar image" a new window will open. On the bottom of that window it has a URL text field area. It also says "Use custom avatar" then the button says "Set URL" put the URL of your new avatar image into that URL field. Then push the "Set URL" button. Up in the top left of that window it should show a image of your new avatar indicating that's the one you have selected to use. Now, push the button that says "Select this avatar". That should be it, you should have a new avatar. Post a new message and boom it's there. Hope that helps you out!

Hi again.
When you get time (i e 4 minutes free, We're talking about YOU!) and are running out of requests.
Could you do me an alternate (So I can switch everynowandthen)?
I was thinking of two:
First a small smooth white dragon, no scales or fangs, a bit cuddly.
Second: My owl with a santa hat, for the holiday season!

A combination of Ruatha's Last comment and DavidG's avatar makes me want to find a pic for an alternate avatar.
First, I would love to have a Christmas'sy hat on my avatar for the holidays! Second, I have a find a "Spaceman Spiff" pic to be Gervais-ized and turned into a good avatar pic.
David E. Gervais
December 16th, 2002, 02:12 AM
First, I know for a fact that bmp's do NOT work for avatar pics.
Second, I don't mind doing a custom alternate pic now and then, but I would aprieciate it if you would consider adopting one of my many 'unused' avatar pics for your alternate. (after all, we are talking about a pic that will only get used on occasion as opposed to your main Avatar! Right?)
Cheers!

December 16th, 2002, 02:19 AM
Oh, another thing,.. If you have/find any pic that you would like me to try converting into an Avatar, you can send it to me via e-mail (see my profile for the address, and Just make sure that the word 'Avatar' is somewhere in the subject heading) or if you have a link to it on the net, just post the link here.
Ok?

Specifications:
The avatar has a pale face which has never seen the light of day, his eyes narrow angrely as he looks at you. His hair and irises appear to be flowing lava. As you look closer you notice that he has no eyebrows just empty palid skin. Add the polished effect except have a dark rather than light spot.

So, Shadow Master.. what do 'YOU' think? Did I pull it off? Does this avatar pic suit your fancy?
..As for the 'dark spot instead of a light spot'.. ALL my avatars have a protective glass over them and thus have a reflective flair in the upper left corner. (sometimes in the upper right) ..but rest assured, I did place a 'dark' highlight underneath the reflection! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
I hope you like it, and fyi: I'm not gonna do any retouches or animations with this one. (I did however give you two Versions to choose from.)

Thanks SJ, I took a look at the images and now know that the 'planetmod' is basically a mod (bigger) Version of the 'planet.bmp' that comes with SE:4
The reason I mentionned the larger ones I have is because in the game you need the two Versions. The small one in the 'planets.bmp' and a larger one to display in the top right 'planet info/detail' window!<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Both Minis and Portraits are included in the planetpack ZIP...
The GIF preview is only the minis in order to keep the size down.
It would be pointless to include extra minis without the protraits to back them up, since the game would give a horde of "image not found" errors.
And, I would be more than happy to include some of your planets (and any other miscellaneous sector-sized objects) in the planetpack.

David, excellent work on all the new avatars! They are, indeed, the best avatars I've seen on any forum. I noticed in the "How to Catch a Lurker" thread you are asking for more requests, so I couldn't resist. If you have time, would you make one for me?
A 'chronon' is a very small unit of time. I have no idea how you might do this, but something evocative of the space-time continuum would be very cool. Alternatively, I was thinking of one of those suns with the face in it from the Renaissance period, or something else reminiscent of the history of science (the one I'm using now is a stock avatar of Descartes).

1)Find the link to the avatar pic you want. (It should be somewhere in this thread and look like 1040043110.gif and be above a set of pics.) Note the pics are always in the same order as the links!
2)Click on the link. (It should open up a new window with just the pic in the upper left.)
3)Click in the 'Address' window at the top of page. (The address htpp... should now be highlighted in blue.)
4)Press Ctrl-c to copy the address to memory.
5)Close the window.
6)In the Intel Forums window, there is a link to "My Profile" in the top right beside the Intel Forums Bullet pic.. Click on 'My Profile' to go to the profile page.
7)On the 'Profile' page at the top is a bold text link called View/Update Profile Click on it.
8)A new window will open and at the bottom right is another link (beside your current avatar pic) called 'Select a different Avatar Image'. Click on this link.
9)Another window will open and at the bottom is white text box called 'Use Custom URL' Click your mouse in the white area and (if there is a url there delete it!) Press Ctrl-v to paste your 'custom' url (Captured in step 4)
10) Click on the 'Set URL' button beside the little white window.
11) Click on the "Select this Avatar" button in the top left of the window.
12) Close this window.
13) you should be back in your 'Profile' window. Now scroll to the bottom and click on 'Update Profile"
14)That's it, you should now have a new Avatar pic in place.
If after following these instructions you still are unable to 'set' the new Avatar pic, then I'm at a loss.
I really hope this helps, Cheers!

David, I can cull it from the thread here, but if you are compiling it as you go just shoot me an email every time you have a batch you want posted to the emporium. It will save me some time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mottlee, the avatar pic you have choosen was made for someone with a bit higher rank than you. I don't want you to get in trouble for impersonating an officer so I created this unique one for you!

Why don't you just number the avatars 001, 002, 003,..298.. and then at the end of the file you could just add the name and # in list format. It would also be handy if someone wanted to 'refer' to an avatar like "Hey dude, #176 is awesome, can you add a bikini?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Also, once they are numbered, you could maybe pluck out the redundant duplicates that went through several 'adjustments' like yours, SJ's, dogscoff's etc.
Just a thought, Cheers!

(cropped, resized. rotated, flipped, colored, polished and otherwise 'treated' to fit the avatar specifications!)
Your's was easy, resize, mount in frame and add a highlight.

I think I'm one of the Last holdouts; I was trying to decide what it is I'm looking for. I've always named my empire (in SE4) the "Moebius Consortium", because I'm a mathematician at heart (engineer by training) and because I like the idea of running my empire like a "consortium of small businessmen" (said in a "Godfather"/"Goodfellas" kind of voice). Of course, I've also always taken the temporal trait for my SE4 empire (which is why I'm using the hourglass now - the only decent-looking time-related "stock" avatar I could find).
So, if you can relate those three things, that would be great. I'll settle for two out of three, though...
Oh - the name Tsaarx came from a half-elf character way back in my D&D days. In case that can be worked in as well...

Hey, David.
If you're not too busy, perhaps you could make some rank insignias for the SE4 by Committee forum!
They can be any shape you like, but shapes within each set should be the same.
I could use:
A set of Senator ranks, 4 or 5 total from Junior through Elder.
A set of officer ranks, including:
- Armchair General
- Active Officer
- Veteran Officer
- Local Hero
- Hero of the Empire
Lastly, a set of minister ranks, including:
- Planetary Governor
- System Lord
- Political/Ambassador.
- Finance
- Defense
- Economic/facilities
- Transportation
- Colonization
- Science/Research
- R&D/Ship Designs
- Covert Ops
- Construction/build Queues

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">..one question, are these to be 'tiny' badges to fit in the bottom left of avatar pics? Or can they be bigger? Maybe something elongated to place in a sig?
Sorry my math is off today, I think that was actually 3 questions? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Suicide Junkie
December 18th, 2002, 03:09 PM
They would be rank badges, to fit on the left below the avatar (if any).
They shouldn't be too much larger than a standard avatar, although shorter and wider would be OK too.

Are you sure they couldn't be made to go in the sig?.. This is what I did so far..

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1040221424.gif
..making these any smaller would be kind of pointless. If I take the SpecOps insigna on your avatar as a target size, there would not be enough room to show any kind of symbol inside the badge.
Anyway, let me know what you think about this sample..
Suicide Junkie
December 18th, 2002, 05:51 PM
Well, its a second image that appears below your avatar, in place of (or maybe just above) the rank/title text.
It could be as big as a full avatar if you like.

P.S. They follow the order that you posted with a few minor exceptions.. I added a 'Active General' between the 'Armchair General' and 'Active Officer', and I moved the 'Construction/Build' badge ahead of the 'Covert Ops'
I think they turned out well, And you?
Suicide Junkie
December 19th, 2002, 01:52 AM
Ok, I really wasn't clear enough...
1) This isn't for the shrapnel forum.
2) Users have two separate images pop up under their name.
- one, their avatar, in your style, likely.
- two, below the first, a rank insignia which automatically changes as Posts and special status changes.
3) The images are totally separate files.
4) The rank images can be as wide or tall as a standard avatar without being overwhelming.
Common rank images are short vertically, but as wide as the avatar.

Ok, SJ I think I got it now, I'll do some minor trimming of the first batch of rank badges and make them fit in a frame the same width as the avatar pic and they will be about half the height. Does this sound about right?
Oh, and if you need more 'ranks' just let me know!
