Re: Battlefield 2 Modular Sig Design [56k Warning]

whats the stance on the sig limitations these days?

**Acid** · 11-18-2005, 06:30 PM

I believe it is still somewhere around 400x400 or something close to that. It is in the announcments section i believe. Just don't make anything too big and we are all happy

. And I did notice that border when perry pointed that out, that was why none of mine lined up perfectly with yours, tricky little trick

.

I have to get back into making more sigs. What do you guys think about me making a sig for each of the diffrent BF2 divisions that would fit into the space under the squad kits? or mabey go where your flag would go? just a thin banner that told everybody you were on the 42nd or 7th or whatever.

jackmacokc, yours aren't quite the right size for these signatures, so I can't add em to the generator. They need to be 400x50 for that main banner part.

I went and fixed the borders on a crapload of pictures..(ugh, took toooo long!) so many weren't done the exact way that Xink's were. Class / kit pictures 030 and 031 I couldn't do much with so they were left as-is. 025, 026, and 027 were the wrong size initially I think.. 300x24, so there is an extra wide white border around them.

Someone has/had their squad's logo placed over their flag image. That looks pretty neat. I browse with signatures off these days, so I'm not sure who it was and if they even still have it.

Sig limits are 468x100 and 50kB.. So this image that was generated would be within the physical size limit, but not within the file size.

It has not changed. I just haven't had the time to send out warnings to people that are barely over the limit. There are a lot of people that are using multiple rows of "rank/role" and "class/specialty" along with the banner and flag. This does NOT conform to our limitation on signatures and action will be taken if it's not corrected (eventually...).

I'm gunna get a bomb, write "400x50" on it, load it on Viper's plane, and have him drop the bomb on your house. Get the dimensions bombed in to ya and then maybe you'll get em right. Yes, your image is still too big

And I added your name to the bottom of my generator. And now the generator is making JPEG's with TG-green in between the pictures, so that it makes files small enough to be directly used in signatures here.

Duly noted....HEY LOOK! My sig conforms! YAY FOR ASSIMILATION

**perry** · 11-22-2005, 02:31 PM

Yay!

Am I fast or what? 10 minutes to add the right border and get it live on the site!

It took 10 minutes for me to figure out what the hell you're talking about..but i see, i'm missing a transparency border on the right..i'll fix that for all my psd's..

is it on the right of the main or on the left of the flag whre i should put it?

**perry** · 11-23-2005, 01:12 PM

Oh, no worries about the border, I can do that myself pretty quickly now that I checked and fixed all the other images. I made little templates in The Gimp for all that.

The borders are on the right and bottom of the main banner, bottom of the flag, and left of the class. So, taking the borders in to consideration, you really have like 395x45 for your artwork on that main banner.

Ok, ok.. Whatta ya think about this:

Cool, huh? The squad number is optional so, this also works:
http://webmasterp.com/tg/005|006|000|023.jpg

I got the 4th, 7th, and 187th so far. I need images to use for the rest, prefer high quality on a transparent background, gif or png (clean one for the 4th and 187th would be appreciated). I may toy around with the opacity on some of the images to find something that looks good.

File names have changed if anyone cares.. png extensions don't work any more because they weren't accurate. Gotta use JPG. And when you use The Generator now, you'll get your picture on an HTML page.. so right clicking and saving should work properly (if there were issues before?).

Hmmmmm, I see nothing mentioned about the 2nd

**Steel_Penguin** · 12-02-2005, 06:38 PM

Well i put the 2nd's emblem over the flag in my sig but no one seems to want to use it

. I could send you my bland PNG i use for the avatars if you want to make something besides a flag.

**Pickle** · 12-02-2005, 07:38 PM

As you can see my signature isn't exactly formulaic though.

**Delta_Swift** · 12-04-2005, 06:28 PM

Sig Test! And a big thank you Xink!
