    Power-Line: Your sig is way too big.

    Roscoe P. Goldchain: If that's a sig, it's too big. But it's nice otherwise.

    I keep seeing huge signatures all over the forums. It's becoming an epidemic. It needs to be stamped out! <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Use a Matte, the before saving the image to GIF select a foreground color that is a medium shade between the edges and the background color, then when you save it make sure the matte is set to foreground color.

    ok, ok... how do you make a matte?
    and i want my background color to be transparent. cant i do that?

    I suppose my sig is too large...the original was much larger, and I had to scale this one way down.

    I am going to make myself a spray, several maybe and upload em somewhere, then link people to get them if they want to use them.

    You have to save it as a GIF image, btw are you using photoshop?

    If yes, read on; before saving as GIF select the foreground color to be something thats halfway between the background color its going to be used on and the outer edges of the image, when you get the options for saving as gif format, set the matte color to "foreground color". Then save it, that should be it.

    Here is one using a Matte (note the matte is dark brown because of the forum background it was used on)

    Hey Ginger I use Paint Shop Pro also.. how'd ya get that splatter effect in the yellow / green one... Only sig I have going online right now is one I did for TFC... I need to redo it badly... jaggies are horrible on the models.. also should size it down and drop a black border / shadow behind it

    Well, some of those sigs are fairly nice, but please remember people, sigs must be 75x400. Many of those are quite a bit larger than specifications. Havn't seen many that break the size limit (in data), but remember that too.

    We dont want excessively extended posts or have unfriendly downloads for narrowband users. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And what do you mean by that?

    Hey One-Arm is that from that old star wars film when he chops that monsters arm off? I think it is, lmao it made me laugh seeing that picture.

    Everyone take a look at the new siggy. All done with Paint Shop Pro 6. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> I would like it if I had photoshop (And I don't really feel like dloading a huge crack), but PSP will have to do for now.

    *Edit*

    Evolvingevil yours is good... only thing I dont like is the side blurs though.. I mean I like the blur but it just looks... ugh..

  • Roscoe_P_GoldchainRoscoe_P_Goldchain Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8443Members

    Bleh methinks 75 is waay too small to be able to do any real constructive stuff.... anyways I'll mess with mine tomorrow im off to bed...

    *edit*

    Final thought. Personally methinks that max dimension should be 400x150 as long as the image doesnt exceed the already set file size limit.. mines only 14k as is... =(
  • BTS_SquirrelBTS_Squirrel Join Date: 2002-09-27 Member: 1351Members
    dude, i personally think sigs look better at that ratio. you know? you can do some really sweet stuff with that size. i dont think mine looks too bad.

    <sighs>

    Ginger did the 'yellow splatter' by:

    1. He used a background fill texture (cracked emerald) on a blank image (it's in your psp directory under patterns/Cracked Emerald.bmp).
    2. He used the sunburst effect (Effects > Illumination Effects > Sunburst), setting the colour to yellow.
    3. He then used the text tool (with a black fill and a brown stroke).

    It's not a yellow splatter - it's just the background texture with the sunburst.

    _Knuke_: I can see your avatar perfectly.

    [rant]
    Sigs look far better at 400 by 75 - on one forum I was browsing there was no sig size limit - so I had to spend more time looking at sigs than at posts (one person had a 600 by 700 sig!). Large signatures are a waste of other peoples time.

    Okay I'm requesting an avatar. Unlike my previous one which is pretty good, made by Ramses:
    <img src='http://www.parkway-capital.com/steve/sigs/nsav1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
    I want something that is not NS specific. I tried to design something circular and with an abstract S in there somehwhere, but it looks bad:
    <img src='http://www.parkway-capital.com/steve/sigs/nsav2.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
    So if any one can come up with a generic avatar suggesting 'S' and circular in theme I'd be dearly thankful.
