Septembers Theme For VBForums - (Hand Drawn Version of Original Avatar)

[wossname]

Ahhhh man there just walls. Make em enemies that roam around the map. Got an AI engine going? That would help

Yes we already have...

Class JRoman
{
public void Move()
{
Say("Use DirectX");
AttackPlayer();
}
}

You have no idea how good it would make you feel to blow my avatar to pieces with a 12 gauge sawed off, do ya?

[Phill64]

you're still able to use alpha colors? i thought maybe you had murdered that for performance, that's cool, you could have a hole blown in a wall and stuff like that, perhaps a grilled texture could actually be grilled (although in alot of cases your BSP will prevent that from working i presume)

and we never will

JR: I have your avatar all over my bedroom wall and I have done a lot worse things to it than that

Phill: Wall damage is impossible in our current map model. There is a small library of textures and each wallpart has an index that points to one of the textures. If we were to blast a hole in one wall then all the other walls with the same texture would have the same hole in them too.

Even if we could implement this with alpha pixels, you'd just open a window through to the next texture in the z-order which would look weird. the walls would look paper thin and there would be artifacts behind the shotgun holes.

This isn't UT you know

In our country, that's considered sagatory rape

[wossname]

In your dreams.

Dude, show some restraint! This IS a family environment after all. We've got minors running around here. But what you do on your own time, in your own house is your biz.... just make sure you don't go blind. *Looks at wossy's avatar's eyes* N/M too late....

no no no, i didnt mean at runtime, i meant as a normal texture that's just there yeah would look paper thin but im sure doom has that in some levels, i actually was only meaning something small like the bottom corner is busted (so a texture on each side of that wall has the trans corner and the texture on the floor below would need its corner same as the wallway and blend into its normal texture, so it would appear like the corner rusted, blown up, eaten, depending on how you do it

[mendhak]

Cool.

[techgnome]

Hmmm..... Tg-Sept.....

[techgnome]

Not half bad....

Not all good, but it isn't half bad at least.....

Why not do a star wars theme? Lightsaber colours will obviously vary quite a lot, as well as double-bladed, two blades, single blade varieties etc etc

[Jacob Roman]

Nah. Too geeky

[Valleysboy1978]

Point being?
Besides, it would be seriously funky if a few of the more techie VBF'ers could animate their lightsabers to swing around every now and again

[mendhak]

Not this month... the wheels are set in motion.

[Valleysboy1978]

Fair enough. So I have to draw my avatar huh? Should be interesting

[eyeRmonkey]

Sounds like we are decided on drawing our avatars.

JR: You wanna change the title of the thread or at least add something in parenthesis (sp?) next to the thread title so people know what the theme is. And maybe add a link to page 3 in the original post so people don't have to read all our randomness if they want to get into the theme. Thanks.

I guess I need to get to work.

[techgnome]

hehehehe.... I can't wait to see how JR's avatar comes out handrawn.

-tg

[eyeRmonkey]

He already posted it. Check page 2.

[techgnome]

Oh, yeah.... So he did... Forgot about that... Proly because I was feeling ripped off as it didn't spin. :P

-tg

[eyeRmonkey]

He should draw the original picture then he could take the screen shots of it at diff angles then I could animate it for him again.

[RobDog888]

Change your avatar back EM. You still have 2 more days left.

[chemicalNova]

for the rest of the world it could be a joyous occassion because all the 13-year-old-n00bs are off the game servers.

Thank god someone else looks forward to this aswell.

Neo, you have an extra space in that URL.

RD, I suppose. Drawing my avatar is becoming quite a challange. I keep wanting to use photoshop/paintshop pro effects, but that would ruin the fun. Oh well, keeps me busy now that the sudoku contest is over.

[eyeRmonkey]

Here is my avatar so far:


Does this count as hand drawn?

[manavo11]

Who's gonna make me one?

[oceanebelle]

Oh, is the september theme ... a drawing of oneself?

[oceanebelle]

well, then... hmm i have a lot to choose from, and I still have one night to make one till september finally arrives.

[Merri]

I'm early. I changed my avatar. RobDog, do your worst!

[mendhak]

I'm early. I changed my avatar. RobDog, do your worst!

That's drawn?

[Merri]

Doesn't it look like it? The only tools used were one pixel pen and flood fill.

[Valleysboy1978]

Think I'll give this one a miss guys. Can't really do this in work as it would take too much time and I'd likely be caught.

[dee-u]

I think my avatar qualifies already, it's an MS Paint job...

[penagate]

Damn Merri, yours is awesome...

Mine looks like ****

[visualAd]

I've done mine. It took me 10 minutes of hard work.

[penagate]

[Phill64]

Merri yours kicks ass, and yeah i can tell it was drawn in paint, just very well drawn, good on ya

EDIT NOTE: robdog i cant wait to see you draw yoda in MS Paint!
