<div class="IPBDescription">...And you can help!</div> Everyone's favorite bug hunters are in the market for a new scoreboard icon. This is where you come in! None of us have any artisitic talent whatsoever in the 16x16 realm, and to be honest, we're a little stumped for ideas.
So, here, in this thread, you get a chance to give us a hand!
<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'><b>Guidelines for submissions are as follows:</b></span>
<b>1.</b> Image must be 16x16 pixels, grayscale TGA or bitmap. Look into nsp\gfx\vgui for examples; all the currently-used icons can be found therein.
Examples:
<img src='http://www.acidblue.net/tyr/Images/examples.PNG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
<b>Note:</b> If you want your submission displayed IN the thread, you'll have to use a PNG image. We do not want GIFs or JPGs, though. PNGs are perfectly acceptable as they are lossless and can easily be converted to TGA later.
<b>2.</b> Keep submissions on topic. They should be related to NS, bug hunting, or software development.
<b>3.</b> Feel free to steal someone else's idea if you think you can do a better job than they did! Quality and "coolness" are what we're after here.
<b>4.</b> The icon can be with or without the "bracket" that most of the current icons posess. Be creative if you like.
<b>5.</b> We're not going to list a set time for this contest to end. Basically, it will probably end whenever we see an icon that knocks our socks off, so make sure you beat everyone else to it! I heard that Lazer already started on his... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Comments
Although I have the aesthetic talent of a blind retarded midget turtle on Valium, I offer up a few of my meeces in thanks. Keep up the solid work Exterminators (and devs in general <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).
or do you mean 16x16 pixels?
Eithr way, an example is needed (I'm a lil shakey with the size... 0o')
But, if you like, I can try it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It's a bug incase you couldn't tell. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

More to come...
A sensory chamber from the marines perspective.
hmm.. and I can't do anything here anyway (I'm not at my house... and this PC sucks and does NOT have hl/ns/ ANYTHING on it.. 0o')

and, here's a different eye
:edit:
now its greyscale
Maybe just a red slash like: <b><span style='color:red'>/</span></b>
edit: that was to dragon mech.
Chances are, the Exterminator icon will be filtered red in-game, though.
Comes with complimentary bug!
now whats bugging many ppl is the use of:

It doesn't really matter what color is assigned to the icon, the white line is self explainitory.
