Do you have the original picture used for the primitive avatar (or a link or search tip)? I have tried google, but I can't find it. Have some nice ideas to animate the avatar, but I would need a better quality picture to work from.I'm sorry to say that I don't have the original pic any more. But I do remember that I didn't do much if any resizing. (so if you were hoping for a larger pic, the bulk of the pic was a full-body shot of conan, I clipped his face!) It was from the cover of a conan comic I found while searching for "Marvel comics" +conan The page had a whole lot of comic book covers and wallpapers.

If it's any help, the search engine I used was..

Had a look, but I did not find it. Got most off those old comics stowed away in the cellar somewhere, so maybe I can find the original there.

Thanks anyway.

Is there a special program I need?(if it were free that'd be great)I use my favorite paint program (Artgem!, which is sadly no longer available.) and 'Gif Movie Gear' which has a function to import .gif filmstrips which is basically a standard .gif that has all the frames laid out side by side vertically or horizontally. Most of the 'other' animated gif programs force you to save all the frames individually and load them one by one!

Do a search for "animated gif software" you should find several. Microsoft has one that is free, but I never used it so I can't give coments. (although my brother and nephew both use it and seem to like it.)

I hope this helps.

P.S. I feed my avatars with anims I find all over the net! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Cheers!

I found this link to the freeware program...

Just testing how this one looks compared to the current Version.

It lost too many colors in the conVersion to GIF. What I actually wanted was to find somewhere I could upload a png (as that is the original file format) and use that as the avatar, instead of gif or jpg. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Originally posted by PsychoTechFreak:

Fyron, I just grabbed the bigger .jpg you posted, I'll see what I can do with that. If you want me to work with the original .png just send me an e-mail and attach it!!

Cheers!

Edit: Ok, here's the result of a wee bit of fooling around with the larger .jpg...

First a comparison with a gif and a jpg (set at minimum compression to retain as much detail as possible!)
1047900409.gif (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047900409.gif)
1047900435.jpg (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047900435.jpg)

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047900409.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047900435.jpg
.gif .jpg

..and here is a .zip with a .bmp, .png, .gif, and .jpg! Fyi, I have a great program for reducing pics and I could not notice any diff in the .gif compared to the original .bmp (16m colors!) the .png was saved at 16m colors too!!

1047900459.zip (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047900459.zip)

The .jpg is the most 'notably' different. (but that is to be expected due to the type of file compression used in a .jpg!)

Let me know what you think! Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P.S. are you aware the your current avatar pic is being distorted? the resizing being done (by the Shrapnel host) does not preserve the aspect ratio. If you look close you'll notice that your current avatar has a 'fatter' head. If you don't mind the distortion, I could do a resize without preserving the aspect ratio too! (I mention this because when comparing my avatar's to yours Mine looks a bit smaller, but that is the result of the distorting. Closer inspection will show you that the 'height' of the heads is the same. But I digress, sorry!

P.P.S. scaling without 'preservation' looks like this! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1047901744.gif

...wait a min, it looks like your avatar pic has been cropped first! hmmmm grrrrr! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

...one more little edit.. here is one cropped resized, slightly brightend (2%), a 5% color boost (saturation), and a 10% sharpen to bring out just a bit more detail that was lost in the reduction process...

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1048269541.gifHere is a repost of a message where I explained how to 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.

In the above example the URL you want to paste is..

No need to hurry, i dont mind if i dont get it soon. You are doing a realy good job. I try to be a computer artist but my talent will never equals your's!

Thank you very much !

edit: and also if my calcules are well , to keep the same pixels at the same place and the character in the center, a line of 3 pixels should be removed from evry of the 4 sides.

Thank you

So, I was just asking if there are any specifics like that. If it's an annimated gif, it can vary quite a bit in size. Also, the question I had about where it gets stored. Or uploaded. Any restritction on transparancey? Any naming conventions required? Is png allowed?

I did a search and didn't have much luck. The FAQ didn't discuss it. So, I thought I'd ask.

PS: What does IIRC mean?

IIRC = If I recall Correctly.

The shrapnel uploader doesn't allow PNG's, but does allow GIFs, BMPs and JPGs. The list is shown in the upload window.

PS: filesize limits are in the multi-megabyte range, since the uploader is used for shipsets and mods too.

A few pages back there was a link to a free GIF animator, I used it to make mine

Microsoft GIF animator (http://www.teach-Online.de/Verein/Vereins-CD/Anleitung/PicturePublisherWorkshops/animierte-bilder/Msgifani.zip)

First you got to one of These (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=50) Boards and click post reply. then on the left you will see a link to upload files, follow the steps and copy the link it gives you at the end. Then go into your profile and click the link to change your Avatar. in that link there is a space to put a URL to a custom avatar. Paste the link from the upload form, save the changes and you have your new Avatar. I hope I helped. If someone could explain it better you can try.

Specifically speaking,.. the avatars are 48x48 pixels, the file format can be .gif or .jpg. Yes shrapnel does permit the uploading of .bmp's but this file format is not supported for avatars.

You can use a larger sized pic and the image will automatically be rescaled to 48x48, but I found it best to do the reducing myself rather thatn leave it to the forum software.

As for file size, most if not all my gifs are 3k or less. the animated gifs are generally under 24k (I don't plan on posting too many of these!)

Yeah, David, transparency turned out being a bit tough. Well, not the actual transparency part. I wanted just the initials (which I post on my artwork...well, that's what I call it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ). But when I gif'd it, it left a white-gray border around the edges of the letters...anti-aliasing, I'm guessing...but it was ugly. I tinkered with it to get just the black stroking on the lettering to appear, but to no avail. I changed to a lavender background for it and it looked OK. But I still wanted just the lettering to appear. That's when I tried copying the background color here (not noticing that it alternated when reading Messages http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

I sure wish I had a cure for the "ghosting" of the edges, though, since I'd really like to have it by itself. (I saw one somewhere that someone had like that and it didn't have "nasty" edges.

Tks for the tip and comments!

Slynky, make the background color transparent. That will make it blend in on every post.

David E. Gervais

March 23rd, 2003, 11:50 PM

Fyron, Slynky's avatar has too many semi transparent pixels caused by the 'anti-aliasing' so setting the green background color to transparent doesn't look good. still too many 'dark' color pixels floating around. (I know I tried!)

I would suggest that the simple solution would be to make a new Version and place it on a black background or some kind of dark gradiant.

I used another option with the 'polished' avatar I did for Slynky I kept close to the existing colors and thought it turned out ok, but I'm sure Slynky has the original font/artwork and could do just as good a job.

nuf said! Cheers!

Edit: perhaps just a color change?...

I think I've confused things, sorry.
By "badge", I meant more of an award-patch type thing, and not a new Job-Badge (like the minister, senator, etc ones you made earlier).

Tesco is still going to have the job-badge of "Armchair General" (or similar), but he will be given the explorer patch to add to his signature along with the ribbons, medallions and other awards he is sure to collect during his carreer.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1048860238.gif
I like it. It just needs the background transparent and a bit of a cropping to make it into a patch instead of a badge. Would a starry sky in the triangle show up at that size?

I don't recall if its already been done (and can't check from here), but the eyeball looks like a good idea for an intel minister badge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

- Same style, new shape (players should be collecting quite a few of these type of things and will need room to string them together).
- Either will do. I'm leaning towards the badge at the moment, since it isn't as spectacular as the potential combat medals.

Oh, and in this particular case, I think a transparent background would be best.

Pixel by pixel one by one, Of course once I had a few bases to work with I did do some cut&paste and recoloring. but all in all, these were not taken from pictures. They all came straight from my head. (There is 2 exceptions, the waypoint medal has an actual waypoint image reduced to fit in the medal and the colonization has a reduced planet which I created long ago in pov-ray!)

..all I can say about job hunting is that it really helps to have a 'virtual portfolio' of some kind on the net. In my case I spent lots of time creating RPG Tiles for use in roguelike games and made them available for free over the net.

Mr. Gervais, you seem to know a lot about photo-editting, I need some different textures and such for a ship set I'm working on in DogaL3, go to my topic to see more of what it's about, but here is a "small" peek,
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1049010914.JPG

I want a different pattern for the wings of my creature, but I'm not sure where to get one, do you know of any good free image archives I can go to? Specifically I want something more butterfly like but different enough to be considered "alien"(desktop backgrounds seem to work but I can't find the right fit). The "placeholder" one I put in was a background that came with windows XP so I'm not sure If I could use it if I wanted to.(don't want to tick Bill Gates http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ) I thought I saw a link to an image archive somewhere in this topic but I can't find it. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it alot.

General Woundwort, Do you have the original pic that you made your avatar from? I was taking a closer look at it and it really got smudged in the reduction process not to mention what the jpeg file format did to it.

I'd like to have a go at reducing the original and framing it for you. you can send it to me by e-mail (it's in my profile) or post it here if you wish! (Or better yet post it in my avatar thread! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Cheers!I am honored by your offer.

I originally used one of your avatars (the white rabbit with the red background), but that doesn't do the character justice. (I'm talking about General Woundwort from the book Watership Down for those who don't know.) So I did some web digging, and found mostly junk - very bad and fuzzy JPEGS from the early 80's animated film. The Version I finally settled on was from an early 90's TV series remake...

They are about a computer programmer who gets drawn into a fantasy world and who creates a magic compiler for building magical spells. David G's Avatar always reminds me of the hero in those books.

I really like that main avatar of his.

At some point, I'll have to try and do a screen capture of 'Raynor' from StarCraft and get some help making an avatar for myself.

Ms Experience, (and it is a woman), was always my favorite teacher. I had her for a lot of classes and still go back for regular refresher courses. I am currently up to �Trial and Error 4*01�. She is tough though. The dame has a tendency to test first and teach afterwards. I always get a passing grade but sometimes the assignments are late. And the tuition? Phew. Man, sometimes I can barely afford the course.

David,

If you get time, could you crop and polish an avatar of this guy?

http://us.games-workshop.com/storefront/image.asp?Size=B&Img=8233

If you feel that color can be added in a constructive, or at least useful, way please have your way with it. I am confident what ever you find time to do would be terribly appreciated.

Your work is quite impressive, both in the quality of the individual avatars and in their obscenely prolific quantity. If you do not have the work ethic of a man possessed then the possessed have no work ethic... or something.

Thank you for your time.

edit: scratch that Last comment, the link works now.. it's a bit busy, shrinking it will loose prety much any detail.

It is a Warhammer 40,000 Grot (space goblin) with a cape, a gun, an stick, and sunglasses (or perhaps goggles).

I did not expect you could shrink it, but hoped, despite how busy it is, that you might be able to crop it down to fit. Perhaps a close-up of the face.

It is somewhat important that the image be recognizable as this specific miniature, if this cannot be done, perhaps I can come to you later with another request.

So yeah, I don't think your Grot pic will work out.

I have been gathering a bunch of 'goblin' pics and will make some new avatars, maybe one of them might fit the bill. In the mean time if you find another pic you'd like me to try, share the link and I'll try again.

Hey david, i know you're busy so this is just a request and can be done any time in the future, of course if you have time i'm not complaining http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I was thinking of a good idea for an avatar and i thought of a solid star (like the deadstar system in space empires gold) then pulses of purple light ripping through it in all directions then it ignites into a purple star, it might be a bit to big in size to do though. I'm sure you could pull it off but if you don't have the time it's ok. I'm still quite happy with the one you made me, although i think the ranks obsolete now lol. If you are generous enough to do this (i'm sure you are but of course Aarons work and anything else takes priority of course, imagine what a heretic i would be if i disrupted work on SEV! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif )

David, I recently started playing Angband and I downloaded your graphic tiles for that game. Beautiful work! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

David E. Gervais

May 13th, 2003, 01:51 AM

Kamog, you must mean AngbandTK, I wasn't aware that the regular 'Angband' used my tiles. (Although there was some talk about adding support for larger tiles (like my 32x32 set) but I haven't herad if that got implimented yet.)

Ah well, I'm glad you like the tiles, btw my tiles that are distributed with AngbandTK are free if you ever decide to use them in your own roguelike game.

Also, A newer improved Isometric Versions of those 32x32 tiles can be found in Dungeon Odyssey. Download the demo and give it a try.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

As you have seen with Erax's post, if you find a nice picture I'll be more than happy to shrink it down, polish it up and stick it in a frame.

So let the "Great Avatar Pic Hunt" begin,...

Just one rule, don't upload the pic here, just post the link. (if the pic is one of your own and has no link feel free to send it to me by e-mail but be sure to have the word 'avatar' in the subject heading.)

Hey David,

Have you been to this site yet? Espectro (http://www.espectro.com)

It's got a ton of art pics (classical and new). A lot of it would need cropping to make an avatar, but they might work anyways.

Here's one that I would like to see turned into an Avatar (for myself of course):

Pablo Perez; Cat (2003) (http://www.espectro.com/application/featuredExhArtwork.cfm?featuredID=52)

And if anyone likes fish, this one might work too (just crop the part with the fish in the bottom left corner):

Flou y la arcoiris (2002) (http://www.espectro.com/application/artwork.cfm?exhibitionID=5980&artworkID=31556)

I'll see if I can find more pics for you to ply your trade on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Katchoo

May 28th, 2003, 09:55 PM

Art.Com (http://www.art.com) looks promising too. It's got a lot of new poster material (ie the Matrix, Terminator 3, Finding Nemo) and lots of classical stuff too.

EDIT: Oooh, Anna Kournikova avatars http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Hi! I saw TerranC's new avatar and couldn't figure out who is in the picture. I could see that it is someone with a hat sitting on something that looks like a rooftop, but I couldn't make out who or what was doing the sitting. I zoomed into the image, but I still couldn't understand it.

Finally, I came to this thread and looked at the link with the 1/0 comic and Oh! now I see, it's like a dinosaur-looking alien creature. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I just found a great source for python images - many of the terry gilliam animations (for example the giant foot, the animated Mr Gumby) would make excellent avatars.

Go to this site (http://www.montypythonpages.com/index1.htm) and click "image related" on the left, then have a look through. I think the "gilliamations" and "clip art" sections are particularly good for avatar hunting.
