Title: Need help putting forums together!!!


Sunny - January 27, 2007 03:10 AM (GMT)
PLEASE POST IF YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING!!


Okay, so far we got almost everything so far...but I need some testing, activity and stuff. First off, FORUM IMAGES!!! I really need those.

General Forum Images
Remember the stars on the original Majinken forums? The transparent star and the red star on the Nosebleed skin? Well, I need a 25x25 forum image of something like that. Preferrably Tales. And if Tales, make 2 of them from the same series. I need one to represent a new post and another to represent nothing new. I don't care how you do it:
- Anise/Jade
- Collet/Shihna
- Colored/Black & White

Doesn't matter, but make sure there is a BORDER on it. I would a double border. A 2 pixel exterior border of the forum's red color and 1 pixels of an interior border of pure white color. The image inside would be whatever you choose as long as it corresponds to what I said. BUT LEAVE IT TEXTLESS!!!

EXAMPLE: Active and Non Active


Forum Icons
See those images like this:user posted image? Well, they represent what topic is open and hot and such. And I'm going to add style to this forum by making separate icons for each of the following:

- Open 1 (Blue)
- Open 2 (Blue)
- Hot 1 (Red)
- Hot 2 (Red)
- Poll 1 (Green)
- Poll 2 (Green)
- Locked (Purple)
- Moved (Yellow)
- Pinned (Orange)

There are 9 buttons and 9 Tales series, so if you want to do these, here's the rubric:
- 1) Tales themed: Make each of the icons but each from a different Tales series: EX: - Mint, Rid, Rutee, Kratos, etc...

OR

- 2) Make it single based theme. For example, Lloyd, Collet, Genuis, Refill, Kratos etc all from the same series. It has to be one or the other, or do both if you want.

- 40-50 x 40-50. It has to be the same though, for example: 45x45 or 42x42. No weird heightsxwidths!!

- Again it must have a border. Each button should have a 2 pixel exterior border with a 1 pixel interior border like this. The colors for the exterior border are listed in paranthesis above.

- ALL OF THEM MUST HAVE THE SAME EXACT FONT!!! Same style, size and color!! They must be READABLE AND CORRESPOND TO THE BUTTONS!!! EX: Open must say "Open". Not Open 1 or 2, or Hot.


Topic Buttons
These are the buttons you press when posting, create topics and so on! For
- New Topic
- New Poll
- Add Reply
- Closed
- Fast Reply

They must be 85-90 x 20-25 at least. Borders are optionable, but it must have a dark outline. Preferrably black. And outline is basically the same as a border but skinner. Of course, all of them must have the same font which says the corresponding button. For example: and New Topic button would be like this For:
- Report
- Edit
- Quote
- Delete

They must have the same font, no borders required, but you need a black or dark outline for it.


Member Icons
Member icons are basically images of Tales characters with text that represnts the class of a member. If you want to make a Member Icon, here are the rules:
- 120x40
- 1 Pixel exterior border
- 2 Pixel interior border
Example

- Font: Comic Sans MS, Size 10
- 1 Pixel border around the font
- (If you do not/cannot do the font, then I can do it for you)
- Text must be at corner of icon, 1x1 pixel away from the interior border
- Colors of the Font are optionable, but it must look decent!
- Characters displayed on member icons must correspond to rank:

Ex: Sink, Magnius or Saleh would be a Moderator. All normal Tales characters count as Members, Veterans, Outcasts or Banned. Admins would be special NPCs or main villains of a Tales game like Ion, Mitos and Van.


Affiliation Icons
If we want more members, we got to have affiliations. Therefore, affiliation icons are needed! You can make them however you like but the limits have to be:
- 80-100 x 40

Font doesn't matter, but of course, the affiliation icon should have "Majinken" on it.

^ I wouldn't mind making a few Affliation icons for Majinken^^

Knock yourself out. Here's an example, but you don't have to make it the same exact size or style. XD

Well, all we need are new member icons and affiliations, which pretty much don't need replacements at all. =D

Pink Mystic - February 4, 2007 05:50 AM (GMT)
Kay, I made one affiation icon...

user posted image

hope this one is good enough...

[oh yea, I have no idea how to make blinkies]

Sunny - February 4, 2007 04:20 PM (GMT)
That seems fine to me. I'll start a Forum Images Gallery in the Fanart secion to show a list of member icons, banners and etc with artist name next to each.

Pink Mystic - February 6, 2007 08:11 AM (GMT)
coolioz! oh, by the way, how many icons do you need? Cuz I could make the whole Abyss set if you want.

Sunny - February 6, 2007 11:09 PM (GMT)
For member icons? It doesn't matter, I have as many as I want. Heck, here's the link to all the ones I made. I plan to re-do them as well as make banned/n00b ones.

Anyways, enough showing off for me, here's the "rules" to make the icon.

You can make whoever you want etc...but for Van and Ion, maybe admin icons. Rokujinshou = Moderators/Admins MAYBE...and regular characters would be the rest.
