Avatar Battle Royale-Discussion Thread XXII: Mutual agreement? What's that?

[Shades of Gray]

What program do you use, Felyndiira?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Ah, my apologies. I didn't really know the procedure for joining a storyline.

(I'll be sure to keep that in mind from now on. Sorry again =().

There's no need to apologize, there's no harm done and Xar is just extremely overprotective of TJH. Just ignore him and he'll go away.

I'm starting to see the downside of FFF ending, both FI and TJh are a bit strict with the whole character application bit. But I suppose SDSB and P3 are still around. I'm sure we've discussed this, but how is SDSB going to be effected once FI is out? Since it takes place in the same timeline as FFF if I remember, just in a different part of Avbaroy.

I'm seeing more and more reason for an insane lovecraftian plotline. Must restrain self. Not enough time.

I mainly use an outdated version of Fireworks from back when it was still owned by Macromedia (and a mouse). I wish I could get the money for some of the fancier image editors out there, but Photoshop is way too expensive.

Our resident grim reaper Nameless is an avid Fireworks user as he's more then ready to tell anyone within earshot.

He made a guide a while back if I remember, I'll see if I can find a link.
No luck, the search feature is messing with me.

Consider making the stroke thicker. Also, get rid of the outlines on clouds in the future, possibly blur them?

Thanks. I'll be sure to remember to blur them a bit in the future.

I'll probably make the sprites a bit bigger, as well, to migitate the problem with the line strokes. My original templates for the character were done with 2 pixel lines, though a lot of that was lost when I reduced the template size by 50%, so the strokes ended up becoming that thin.

Thank you, though. Fireworks seems to be a pretty easy software to understand, and I'll be sure to observe the veteran artists in the future to pick up a few tips ^^.

Here's the link!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

I can't believe I forgot about searching with Google. Well either way, there it is.
I thought it had a bit more info on the Oots style, but I guess not. Oh well, nothing that you won't develop over time anywho.

You know, apparently if you download the free trial of fireworks/photoshop/illustrator etc, then before the 30 days are up, delete it. Apparently, if you keep doing that just before 30 days are up, you can keep re-downloading it.
I want to try it for Illustrator and see if it actually works.

Wait no! That's the old one, don't go on that! It's full of spelling errors and doesn't explain anything!
I'll find the new one.
Don't click on it! It's old and full of typos and spelling errors! gah! AWAY AWAY!

EDIT: Well, I didn't find the thread, but here's the tutorial itself:
Now with only several mistakes!

Very long:

Well, I'm not too pleased I wasn't PMed about this but since it doesn't interfere with the away mission I'll allow a vote to be put.

Yeesh, and people bug MM about being overly protective.
Also: png ftw!

To be fair, the "random stranger pops in and is accepted by everybody" strains the mind. If it happens in FI, the character is probably getting knocked out and imprisoned and would definitely not be trusted to fight with either the Resistance or the UNA.

Then the 'random stranger' is accepted faster than weeds grow.

Or they deal significant damage to the other side

What do you mean by that ?

Skimmer's character was introduced to the FFF plot by Nameless. He pretty much opened a portal to the island and shoved her through it.


EDITZ: Here is is.

Just pointing out something similar already happened with different results....twice.....

[Mad Mask]

If that happened in FI, she would probably have been (if its the UNA) imprisoned for intrusion on unauthorized areas or (if its the ALF) knocked out and interrogated (and perhaps killed), since they don't know if she's a UNA spy.

Yes, that's why Death has to be involved.....for joining ALF at least (find a subtle pun there)
