Gift Medals?

[Kataja76]

Is it possible to add different medals to the vbPlaza gifts menu if I make some?

What are the technical requirements for possible image files?

I would so like it if there was more than one kind of medals to choose from.

Hear hear! Poor Panzy's been handing out the same medal boatloads of times

I'm rather interested in designing these now

[hinarei]

I don't seem to have permissions to add or edit gifts... I can delete 'em all, but not add more

Sure it's doable though...

* hinarei yells at Style to look at this one

[Z]

[Gasp, double posting o_O]

You do that

Meanwhile, I'd suppose a image file around the size of the current medal icon, p'raps?

You serious? Because all I have been thinking of is some variation. Something like these, although I would like slightly more advanced designs.

[hinarei]

mostly the items seem to be around 15x15 pixels, or similar dimensions, with biggest being around 25x25. Medal be 25x15.

Not much to work with! ><

...Nah, every fscking time I try to do something I have not tried before with GIMP, the program reacts in a way completely unintuitive to me. This is not GIMP's fault - all advanced graphics editors are similar. I never had these problems when I first learned to use Paintbrush in, um, 1990? And if I have similar problems with a text editor, the usual reason is that the feature I am trying to use does not exist at all.

So, no color variation examples of the original medal tonight. I guess most AnimeBees would have spent like five minutes doing what I simply cannot figure out. Bah.

Still wonder why I stick to writing most of the time?

[Betong Åsna]

Sounds like a good idea.

Maybe I'll try a couple of designs myself...

Y'know, there are alternative ways of getting better quality image editors

max 25 x 25 px, eh? Shot in the dirt time~!

EDIT: w0000t, finished them ahead of schedule


[A great addition to the forum, p'raps?]


[At ease, soldier ]


[Pulitzer medal? ]


[1st place, Gold Cross]


[2nd place, Silver Cross]


[3rd place, Bronze Cross]


[2 katana cleverly worked in as a medal... *cough*]


[.... wha, can't a guy have fun? ]

Next~!

[Kataja76]

The Katana medal and the Z one are great! I like the crosses too. Nice work altogether.

Maybe I will try some basic designs myself - if no one else acts faster.

[randompanzy]

nice maybe a purple heart too and and can you make a shinobu medel

[Z]

I get the feeling Shinobu'd be better worked in as an emote, but let's see how it goes

[Kataja76]

Back in the days, Iruga-san made mega cool HKSS medals. Quite tricky to transform into a 25 x 25 pixel format, eh?

[hinarei]

those are quite something, ain't they, Kataja... but theyd lose so much detail if you shrunk 'em to fit that it doesn't bear thinking about

Sterling work indeed, Z! Nifty quick work I do like the crossed Katana, wonder where that'll fit in best?

Best of all is the Z medal. Want one. o.o

I thought you get one for the quarterly "ZZZ Award".

If so, I stand a good chance... Just ask Pepe.
