It looked a tad plain without the scanlines, so I found a tutorial that explained how to put them in. What do you think? I think the font color looks a bit crappy, but blending it in with the background made it darker, and I didn't want that.

Anyway, here is the render: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Having the PSD file won't really help because history is not recorded -- only layers and stuff.

Oooh, thanks for that. It would be even better if filefront had some sort of gallery for render downloads. I wanna know what I'm getting before I get myself wet. I can't go downloading randomly because of my 56K connection. You know....

Well, Brooks just made a teaser tutorial with places to download brushes and fonts. I just download several packs of brushes, and I'm using those in my sigs...

You're welcome. If you add more sigs, copy else if($randnum == 55){readfile("http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a305/saint-michael/sig1-52.jpg");} and append it. Then on the new one, instead of 55, put 56. Also, change $randnum = rand(0,54); to $randnum = rand(0,55); If that doesn't work, it must be my explanation, so post your problem here, and I'll solve it.

First of all, I'm going to have to ask you to stop the one liners. Those will not get you hosted here. If you want to make your computer a server, I recommend you read my tutorial: http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?sho=20432&hl=xampp Thread closed. Post any questions in my tutorial instead.

WHAT A TEASE! Good tutorial, dude. I see I'm already guilty of some of the things mentioned. Want another good font source? http://typenow.net/ See the drop down menu on the top-right? Click it.

Actually, the Masterchief render was huge, and it wasn't choppy when I reduced it down, too. I think it's the color balance that made it turn out that way. I didn't want to use Ctrl+U because that tends to make stuff monotone, and monotone is a no-no....

I was trying to show that you were once terrible...

I've used center, but it just wouldn't work, and I had no idea why either. Then along came this tutorial, and I figured out that it had to be inside instead.

Since we're talking about borders...what about this sig: Something tells me the 2px border isn't clear. How would I make that? Edit: Fixed my bbcode

HEY! I told you about the clear thing. Not Michael! Read this thread again. Humph! Actually, Brooks showed me how to double stroke, but he did not point out that it had to be inside instead of center.

The chain thing was enabled...I don't know why it turned out like that though. And I'm not going to sign up for 300 dollar classes. I prefer sitting at home and doing random tutorials, thank you very much.

Today, I will show you how to make a sig rotator similar to mine (refresh a page with my post, and you will see a different sig each time). We will use the sig rotator to display random sigs here at Xisto. Create a folder called sig.pngActually, the folder can be called anything, but since we will be using the rotator here, it has to be called sig.png because Invision Power Board may not allow weird extensions. You can replace png in sig.png with any valid image extensions such as gif of jpg. Create a file called index.phpIf you need help renaming a file to .php, post below. In the file, copy and paste the following code index.php: <?phpHeader("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");Header("Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT");Header("Pragma: no-cache");Header("Content-Type: image/gif"); srand((double)microtime()*1000000); $randnum = rand(0,1); if($randnum == 0) { readfile("http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/5475/hulunes7rn.jpg"); } else if($randnum == 1) { readfile("http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/2240/jnguyen5az.jpg"); }?>This is very simple code, but if you don't understand, I'll explain everything later. Upload sig.png (or whatever you named it) to public_html in your web space. Go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/In the big text box, add this BBCode: [img]http://yourdomain.com/sig.png[/img]Replace yourdomain.com to your domain. Mine is sang.trap17.comReplace sig.png to whatever you named the folder. Code Explanation The first four lines will make sure that the browser does not cache sigs. If caching is enabled, then the image in the cache will be displayed instead of a random one. srand((double)microtime()*1000000);This one sets up a random seed. I don't know a lot of PHP, but I know that the higher the number (1000000), the more random it will be. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. $randnum = rand(0,1);Once our seed is set up, we have to pick a random number from 0 to 1. The random number will be stored in the variable $randnum. The number "1" depends on how many sigs you have. If you have 3 sigs, then you will put a "2" instead of the "1" (0, 1, 2). If you have 5 sigs, then you would put a 4 instead of the 1 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4). if($randnum == 0) { readfile("http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/5475/hulunes7rn.jpg"); }This basically says that if $randnum (our random number) is 0, then it will display the image at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Replace http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ with the URL of your image. else if($randnum == 1) { readfile("http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/2240/jnguyen5az.jpg"); }If $randnum is 1, then it will display http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Change http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to the URL of your 2nd image. If you have more images else if($randnum == 2) { readfile("http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/2240/blah.jpg"); }If you have more images, then add 1 to the the number after "== " and add 1 to the last number at $randnum = rand(0,1);.

I had to read your question three times to figure out what you were saying. Using proper punctuation marks would have reduced that number down to one. To answer your question, your account will be suspended if you have between 4 hosting credits and -30 hosting credits. Suspension means that other people cannot view your site but all your files are safe on the hosting servers. During suspension, you have the chance to bring your hosting credits above 4. However, if your hosting credits fall below -30, then your account will be terminated. Termination means all your files are deleted from hosting servers, and they cannot be recovered.

Yeah it does, but that's not my fault.

Oooh! Nice! I think I'm gonna try to incorporate it into my future sigs.

My only complaint is that you can't see the barrel of the gun too well. What's yours? Oh, and I definately need to learn some new effects....

They have Google Moon now. Search Xisto to find the post on that. And about the Google buying Mozilla, it probably won't happen because Mozilla is open-source, and you cannot buy open-source companies.

Well, I don't like how Sonic's head is transparent, so I'm gonna go with Michael.3:0

And yes, animation kills sig, exempting a few rare cases. (Mostly only pros can make animation HELP a sig instead of hurt it...I'm still not to that level, but I don't really -want- to animate my stuff.) 164098[/snapback] http://forums.xisto.com/topic/24673-1v1-grunge-battle-me/ See what I meant?

Oooh, this will help me so much in making sigs. Thanks, strawberry!Instead of the white 2px stroke, you can also do clear.

It would be so much better if you list how big the zip package is (byte-wise) when you post new renders....
