sorry...

alright. let's do it like this:

use this template i attached.

If u can, post as a psd or xcf file, so later on we can modify them all at once. Use the template as a bottom layer, and draw in a layer on top of that.

Be sure to use alpha transparency.

Thanks!

not sure. I'll have to get back to ya on this one. I have to leave now. Cya!

oh here's another smiley we use:

^^

it's a 'tee hee' smiley

noooooooo!!

u made them yellow!!

i said "Basically I'm tired of the old 'yellow circle with black outline' cliche."...

alright, how about I come up with a default smiley and then u do variations on it?

How's this attachment (transparent png):

The bottom thing is the button image. It will replace all the buttons. Or maybe button groups. So I made the smileys to match the buttons. Still not sure whether to use black or white outline.

Here are the message icons. These really suck. They are fun to use (in theory), imo.

moustachio!

some other smelly frenchman with the same name

NONE! EQUIVALENT!

The reason for this is: u can't open your mouth AND your eyes wide. Of course, it could be something weird if u like that, but i guess most people won't mean that. Just regard them as equivalent for now.

Cheers!

just save this page

:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'( =/ =\ =| =P =) =D =O =OO (larger) =] =3 (kitty -- needs variations) >:3 (nasty kitty) XD

plus your own, from that box.net folder, which don't seem assigned to any text smileys.

Thanks!

DarkFlame, here are more smileys:

=/
=\
=|


=P (equals pee)

u can look for an already made skin (google smf themes or something). The current theme is a bit hard to customize... lots of gifs and whatnot...

i've been working with wrack on this one, he is making an elephant statue. I haven't seen him around coopedit though. if you see him, tell him to post his version of the map on the forum here, since he has the most recent. ty.

[: D]

Yes, it looks like you can add custom smileys.

Here's the current set attached.

O0

We'll probably ask  you for more as we notice the ones we use and don't have an icon.

Here are some more i thought up:

=)
=D
=O
=OO (larger)
=]
=3 (kitty -- needs variations)
>:3 (nasty kitty)


Oh, and very importantly: be sure the smiley icon matches the characters. For example, yahoo messenger puts a big grin for : D instead of a large smiling open mouth (it adds teeth where it shouldn't).

first, the current forum emotes:

8) :-\

Then, the ones u used in ur pack, like XD and whatnot.

I'm not sure if the set is extendable, I'll look in the forum admin and get back to ya.

Basically I'm tired of the old 'yellow circle with black outline' cliche. But don't copy the style from the other forum either. i think pixelled is fine, but if we have our own style. Also, feel free to use ur own colors. I noticed 'hell' goes well with black and orange/red.

Thanks mate!
Cheers!

they look almost like ours... don't u have something with an attitude? or something EVILLL!!!

Here's an example from another forum (attachment)

They're not what I want, but they're a good example of 'alternative'

tell us about them

i think u mean this one, noob paster skylax:

darkflame, nope, never seen it in sauer. can u find examples?

great! u have pictures of a rig, now u need pictures of a ocean 

data cap. ugh.

Spaceoff, read http://hell.grigoriada.net/forum/index.php/topic,27.0.html

I met him in coopedit. He can help with our projects.

Cheers!

Almost finished:



Someone suggested I scale the textures down.

I'm thinking of using some of these custom textures:

http://hell.grigoriada.net/files/textures/0512/

Any tips?

Also, somewhere outside the map is Snowy's cat thing. Basically i wanted a little animal to place on a shrine inside the temple, but i don't like the cat's shape...

hm sez here u're from sweden, soosh

actually i copied it from xterm (linux)
and I was using vanpi on purpose (fooling around)

if you guys can find custom smileys or anything else that we can customize the forum with, go ahead and post here, and I'll try to include them.

then post it here, windecker (attachment)

yeah i saw him around coopedit too. maybe he'll join the clan

we need good layout people. I'm good with details but sux at layouts. Tomek also seems to have good layout skills, but i haven't seen him around much (i think he changes nick often).

updated!

[please read the rules below]

Welcome to our recruiting section. You probably got here cause you want to be in our clan, or because we asked you to be in our clan.

To join, please read the rules below and then post in the recruiting section, so we can see your work. Post some info about yourself, and screenshots of your maps, or just your maps. You can upload attachments, so use that feature.

You need to have a good attitude, and at least one of the following skills. Note that your proficiency must be above average (i.e. not only not a noob, but you better be good at it):

Mapping skills:

• Lighting - either realistic (sunlight, lamp light) or surreal (weird colours). Subtlety is the word here.
  
• Making good map layouts
• Adding details to an existing layout
• Adding tiny details to an existing object
• Making furniture, and other objects that are placed either at the interior of a room, or the outside.
• Making caves and stones
• Knowledge of existing architectural styles
• Knowledge of architectural structures (like brick layout, beams, pillars, stuff that goes on the inside of a wall, window shapes etc).
• General creativity

Texture skills:

• Making new textures
• Inserting them into sauer/BF
  
• Tweaking them from sauer/BF cfg file (scrolling, rotation, scale and other effects)

Modeling skills:

• Making custom models (furniture, trees, other objects)
• Making new player models (ie like ironsnout and mr. fixit)
• Importing them into sauer/BF

Audio skills:

• Making ambient sounds
• Making other sounds (for example, to replace the default sauer/BF sounds)

Tutorial skills:

• Use your existing knowledge to write good tutorials

Programming skills:

• CubeScript-ing
• C/C++ programming, to modify either the client or the server, or whatever might help.

Other skills:

• Please leave a reply here with skills to add to this list. Maybe we forgot some.

If you don't have any of these skills, but you'd like to be in the clan anyway, there is one more thing that might get you in:

• A good learning attitude. The desire to learn new things. Anybody can learn new things, you just need some patience. You can either learn by yourself (either in coopedit, or offline), or just ask one of us and we will teach you something or other, perhaps something you saw on one of our maps and you liked. We've met people that had this good learning attitude, and taught them new things. We've also met people that learned by themselves and increased their skill in time. We're also increasing our skill in time. There is no 'maximum skill', you'll always be learning something new.
  

We don't have any rules, just "have fun". There is no leader, but Skylax is the founder of the clan.

To join, please read the rules above and then post in the recruiting section, so we can see your work. Post some info about yourself, and screenshots of your maps, or just your maps. You can upload attachments, so use that feature.

Only two of your xfire screenshots look nice:





Are these from your maps?

Also, how much of the work did you do on the 'big house' map?

And the Toxy map:
