Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

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). Thanks!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, let's see if I can spell this out for you, follow these steps..

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!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Geo, I just had another idea myself,.. 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!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You do realise that many of these avatars are captured images from the net. (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.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

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...
