For Spyder or whoever updates MS, you should update the Links section....and to make it easier so you dont have to change the logos if the hosted site does, we can all give in the image name, and never change that.
-
Well, the links site technically "is" updated. I went through it a month or two ago and deleted any dead links, etc. If the site owner changes the address or logo, it's his/her responsibility to notify me of the changes if they want the link/logo changed. I'm fine with linking to logo's off-site if you want. The problem with that is that normally other people's logo's are not 500x100, which is the current size of the banners in the links section. I could force the image to display in that resolution, but it might skew the image, therefore making it look quite bad. I have been thinking of remaking the links section using smaller logo's though.
-
hm...updated? well with the non- existant, yes, with the newer....no.....but i could change mine to that, though i think it is already...
-
Heh, I'm not going to scour the net for TK sites to add to the link page though. It doesn't help me or MS by adding links to the page. It helps others gain hits to their website, and therefore, it is their responsibility to ask me to add a link for them.
-
Well that my idea, if they do, you can add it, but i was also suggesting using the image name to make it easier on you.
In that case, will you add my link to the page? The image is at http://darkforces.mysticsoftware.net/darkforces_logo1.gif (http://http://darkforces.mysticsoftware.net/darkforces_logo1.gif)
-
Hey Spyder if I made a banner for my site, will you add it to the links page?
-
Yes to both of you. But you guys should wait until I make the new links page first, so you'll know how large to make the image.
-
no problem, im planing on redesigning the banner anyways, just text is no fun anymore
-
For the most part, my Godiva banner is "just text".
-
I know. But by no fun, I mean making, at least for me. Because now adays, peopl are developing all these amazing graphics, and I try to keep up with the age...not thats its wrong not to, but then it's easy B)
-
Bogus! I wonder what my Banner is going to look like....hmmm.....
DMD GAMES![/b][/color]
-
I wonder if I could find the original Godiva banner.
This isn't the original, but it's the oldest one I could find.

I know I have a copy of the original Mystic Software one around....
...well, couldn't find the large one, but here's the animation I made from a scaled down version of it. The animation goes from the super-old banner to one I made with TrueSpace not long after aquiring the site from it's original owner, Lance.

Hey Spyder what size do you think the banners should be? I want to start working on it and all. And speaking of Godiva Alpha, I wonder if your going to finish that game any time soon. You said you needed to be super inspired to work on your game.
-
The recent improvements to TK3 have got me really excited, and I do plan on working on my game at some point in the near future. Especially if I get character tiles made by Sophia using her tile service.
-
MS was started by Lance? Who is/was Lance?
-
He's a community member from back in the day when there was maybe 10 regular posters on the forums. He created quite a few games as well, all of which should be on MS. He started MS back when it was hosted on...Bizland I think. I can't remember if it was on Bizland or Hypermart first. Triuken, who's name is probably much more recognizable, designed the original layout for the site which was used for much of MS's life. The font he used for the original logo is still being used today Razz
-
What about that Fred guy who made those Mario tiles? Laughing
-
What about him? He was around the community for a very short time, not too long ago (maybe a year or a bit more)
-
So is he dead now...Hanus...
-
I suppose....along with hundreds of other community members.
-
Who is Triuken?
-
Yeah...like that Satphopoke guy (I totaly mis-spelled that, dude!) He was supost to run the RPGCode Shack. But then he died. And that old dude who was born 1905. I got board and looked around the member list and checked all the profiles and I saw this one guy who joined along time ago had 1 post and was born 1905, he HAS to be dead by now, because he would be 99 years old, and barely anybody lives that long!
-
Who is Triuken?
He was some dude who made alot of bogus tile sets...I think I have a few of his!
-
bogus tile sets? Not sure why you think they were bogus. Anyways, yeah, that's one thing he's famous for, was the 100+ tilesets he ripped. TKZ has most of them. He was also a pretty decent programmer (in both RPGCode and VB if I remember right) amoung other things.
-
holy crap!!! how did you make that gidiva alpha banner?!?! it's awesome!!!!! Surprised
-
It is? Thanks. All I use to make my banners is Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7, and sometimes Eye Candy 4000 (Photoshop plugin that works with PSP7). The font I used is called "Kelly Ann Gothic".
-
woah, nice banner, but do you know a program that can do that that isn't so pricey? Razz
-
Pricey? I got it for free Wink . I need to upload it again for KnightSh@dow anyways, so I'll post the link here as well. It'll only be up for a few days though, so when I post it, download it quick. It's a 25-30MB file.
-
Thats weird... i looked at there websites and they said it was 100 dollars.
-

B) I like Eye Candy.....Oh I'm back. That's a bogus banner man! Totaly cool!
-
Legally it "is" $100...but I didn't say I got it legally did I? Razz
Now you too can own pirated software. The link below is for the full version of PSP 7, have fun!

-
Nah, im scared of the law. its freaky. Razz

-
Well not that I'm trying to on of those iligal friends that will be a bad influence to you and get in trouble. But the internet..anything goes! Dowload what you want! Do whatever you want because for them to find out you did that they would have to comit a crime 100 times worse! So I'm going to download the iligal thing..because I'm bad and!! :ph34r:
-
Still, why would i need psp 7 if i already legally got it?
-

-
do you know where i can find those programs?
-
de, warez is all over the place. just do a google search for download warez.
please dont tell on me Wink
-
Honestly, people who download warez don't get in trouble. It's people like me, who distribue the warez, who get in trouble. Kazaa is a very good place to get warez.
-
oh, good :rolleyes:
i dont really ahve a need for it though. i have all i need to make good logos. B)
(see new logo in my sig)
-
Ooh, yes, very pretty Smile
One of my greatest images (http://http://www.mysticsoftware.net/images/tk3back.jpg) IMO.
-
wow! i think you used the same font as me (draken, aka d)
-
thats nice! is that used for the back of the main TK3 program?
-
It is Wink . Check out the copyright date on it....2002 :blink: . Time flies even when no updates are being made eh?
I can't seem to find the font that I used Number Eight, so you could be right, as draken does sound familiar. I don't seem to have it in my fonts directory anymore.
-
I already have PSP 8.
What differences are there between the two?
-
As far as features go, probably not much. I tried PSP8, but the interface was quite a bit different from PSP 5-7, which is what I've been using for years, so I stuck with 7.
-
OK. Thankyou.
