What do you use to create/repaint your bars and borders. I've tried photoshop/paint/adobe flash (because it doesn't pixelate) and all of them seem to lose their appearance as bars when I zoom in or out, or resize the image. I'm trying to make 2 separate large "blue box" images with the border for a background. At the same time though, I also need to make some of them VERY tiny to mess with my aero.msstyles images (if you know anything about them, windows makes them so tiny they are barely visible without zooming a good bit.)

And as for on-topic thoughts (  )

The "imi" in Limit just seems to really catch my eye, along with the "at" in Materia

Something about all the "i"s in the screen shots, it looks like they're taking up more space than they should.
Is it just me, or is it just one of those things you have to just deal with?

It's not a huge problem, It just caught my eye

There is a teaser file at the bottom of the first post with all the so-far-done stuff inside. Perfectly useable!

General Discussion / Re: What should I do with Red XIII, Vincent and Cait Sith?

« on: 2010-08-06 21:19:36 »

Vincent's Properties would be somewhere along the lines of two different options.

The peashooter-
-Avg HP
-Avg MP
-High Accuracy
-High Magic Defense
-Low Reg. Defense
-low weapon damage to start (if barret's machine gun can't one-hit, then a pistol shouldn't be able to either )
-possibly increasing the Limit's attack power but thats a preference really. Limit could actually be untampered and fine

The Sharpshooter-
-High Damage
-High Accuracy
-Low Defense
-Avg-High MP
-Low HP
-High Magic Defense

Those would both be fairly well-rounded vincent's

In truth. I'm sure it sucks donkeyballs to mod the completely unrelated thread. Since there is no "off-topic". But you still are required to make sure none of the general rules are being broken.

I don't know exactly how the forums are modded but I would reccomend maybe moving to a "report only" moderation of the CU forum.

People will always shoot there shit.

Another option IS to eliminate the thread : Let them shoot their shit elsewhere

A third option is possibly to add some strict rules in completely unrelated, such as limiting people's ability to CREATE posts so many times in a week. That would prevent Mirenhearts games and surveys ;P (nothing personal, just noting how he dominated the CU for a while ) in other words : Make rules for the b*llsh*t

Just some thoughts.

Is the font change having any effect on the flashing "limit"?

Or is that just an implemented color flash that the game gives it?

I agree, I mean, I contributed to the annoyance, but i see the point you make.

I personally didn't post to up my count.
I posted because The only thing I can really contribute to these forums is an opinion and seeing the games and bullsh*tting threads is something relatable and easy to be involved in lol

Completely Unrelated / A Proper Replacement for a MAILTO Html

« on: 2010-08-05 06:19:37 »

I'm creating a form page and atm the only form data collection I can get to even function is the mailto.

Does anyone know a good way to collect form data?

I don't have any information of the server i'm hosting on but atm I'm just trying to get it to work off my computer.

So far I've tried to learn Perl but I have had no luck, none of my test pages work with the CGI.

Ahhh, I'm glad you mentioned the cursor, I was really considering using the Buster Sword lol, I might add one of each. And for the Icons, I have a few. I don't really want to use the meteor or any Icons that the game itself uses in its program files folder so they don't get mixed up. I've been searching. I have some of the original character Icons which are pretty neat lol. I was thinking of going out on a limb and asking either millenia or TA in general to get some Faceshots and screenies that i could convert. But still debating on that

Edit: What about making them interchangeable. Like, Buster sword as normal curser, Finger when you scroll over a link or something? Just a thought

Edit 2: You asked about Icons, I think I'm going to try to make a few that are like, Blue Boxes with the title names in them to fit the desktop kind of look. I'll also make a few other styles too

Edit 3: Would it be too wrong to have the FF7 logo as the recycle bin... and use the FF7 AC Logo as a full recycling bin logo? lol

Edit4: Last edit for this morning i think xD I've been working on this for a while, Got some nice Blue icons.

I need some feedback on the most important icons. Or the ones you use most.
Thanks!

Yeah, TBH it would've been better to start with an XP theme. Win7 is surprisingly diffifult to customize things without a windows preset. IE- Start Menu, Taskbar, ect.

The sounds are interchangeable so Far, I will save the ones I have as the names of what they show in Win7 and do my best to make a list for Vista and XP as well.
Because I really don't know of any way to save them as a .soundscheme type of file, because nothing like that is in the preset sound scheme folder of Win7

I actually considered cel shading a while back. It's pretty easy to do in 3ds, i just didnt have 3ds and still havent mastered blender enough lol.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for fun. It would actually make the game look a lot more recent haha.

Well it hasn't. But thanks to this I'm going to have to be a slave to trends... Up until now my text sound has been the "!" from MGS... but a Chocobo wark... that sounds awesome

Victory can't beat my Super Mario Brothers ringtone atm though 

Edit: Just set the Wark, found out I can set a seperate tone for Text, media, voicemail, and calender alerts. Woo, more room for the FF invasion ^.^

Well if I'm correct this is a vista-theme right?

So I'd have to manually install your theme anyway to get a decent Win7 theme

But I was wondering because I was going to do up a new sound scheme just to have one lol, didn't know if you had any good tips/tricks to get them in quicker

There are a few Sound Scheme programs out there and I'm going to try Using Audacity along with this IFx Program. I'll let you know if it makes things easier, or "saveable" as like a compilation kind of save

Troubleshooting / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.8b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2010-07-28 03:27:47 »

The site where the links connect to seem to be down, just in case no one knew, and i literally JUST deleted my old 7.3 driver installer!

My "feedback/question" is:

Is it a bug that 7.3 is required to use TA's overhaul? and if so, is it being repaired in a newer release? (that is if there will be any newer releases)

Last thing, I still have 1 of my 2 FF7 installs on my computer with The custom driver. Is there any way that someone could supply a list of File and folder names that are needed for Aali's Custom driver (thever. is the last one that used the REG. File, I apologize for not knowing exact one i'm pretty sure it's either 7.3 or 7.5) , that can be found directly in the "Final Fantasy VII" folder, no need for sub-folders or any complicated lists. Just a general one so i can grab the correct files and transfer them over to a fresh install.

Please and thank you.

Completely Unrelated / Re: Your Opinion about the newb population

« on: 2010-07-26 23:33:20 »

I've followed this forum for a while before I made a profile.

Not defending the noobs, or the noob-haters here.

I might be a noob or I might not be. Although my profile says I'm a fast newbie

My thoughts on the subject, since I'm assuming this thread isn't for non-noobs only, are that you get irritated and aggravated by ignorance of people in general.

Most "Noobs" are told they are doing something wrong with sarcasm or threats. Not saying that is right or wrong, just saying that if you truly want them to be something other that annoying, it may be best to help them out. I know it seems so much easier to give someone a sarcastic response or threaten them and tell them how stupid they are for not reading the rules, But if the time was taken to send a PM or even just answer the "noob-post" with a generally informative and friendly answer, it might encourage them to go read the rules or even to just be careful of what they post.

I really didn't spend much time reading the rules *although I did* and I kind of got flamed for some of my very early posts debating Legal issues. But since then I've just stuck to giving opinions and whatnot, being careful what I post, and steering away from any threads talking borderline material.


My 2 issues with the way that new members are treated is 1.that there is 0 respect for them, and everyone acts superior unless they contribute something. I'm sure a lot of people that join this thread are very interested/inspired by what people do in these forums and are interested in helping and/or learning more. Unless they have something to show though, It's like they're just a nuisance.

Issue # 2 is that they are labeled as noobs. Because face it, If it wasn't labeled, you wouldn't be able to know for sure. and might think twice before blurting out a threat or something

Okay to wrap this up I just want to say that everything I typed here is an opinion of the GENERAL things that I see.
This is not a text-wall trying to bash you Furzball, you just kind of sparked my interest to type my thoughts up. The things I mention are just some things I see while browsing around. A key thing to remember is that everyone has struggled understand something new at one point, and for the "noobs" being in a forum/ a new forum might be something they struggle with understanding. I'm sure there are members of other forums that come here thinking that their forum rules are all that apply here. Okay that's all for now.
Feel free to criticize my opinion
Sorry for the long reply
