IMO - The only graphics that should be inelegible for a contest are those entered in a previous contest. Who cares if they were used in 1 or 1000 scenarios before?

But, this is just my opinion. It's up to the people who coordinate the contest to decide the rules.

Surely there must be a graphics conversion program out there?

I'll do it if there is no other way, but I've already had complaints that my translation routines made the graphics "fuzzy and spotted," so I really appreciate receiving the graphics ready to go.

Hi everyone,

For those of you interested in BoA and who are making graphics for BoA, I encourage you to submit your graphics to the Louvre, the BoA graphics database. See my sig below for the address.

My goal is to compile enough graphics prior to the actual release of BoA so that aspiring scenario developers have plenty of ready-to-use graphics to choose from.

The blade is just a blade. From Avernum, of course. Maybe I shuld have dirt dripping off it.

As to the load - what's happening is the entire DB (not the graphic, but all the text info, urls, etc.) is loading into memory. I'd really like to have a "Please wait..." message appear, but can't see how to do it and have it disappear on command via Javascript.

The obvious solution is to make the text file smaller, and the most logical way to do this is to remove all color-shifted edits done by Daniel Ray, and place them in a special downloadable zip file external to the DB. This will shrink the DB down 2/3s.

I'll keep considering this, but I'm not making the change any time soon, if at all.

OK - The prototype is ready, accessible via the Louvre. In the future, I hope to add specific drawing tip in each section and a few other things.

Enjoy!

Not that I could do any better, but the old one seems so... clumsy? I'm not sure what it is but it didn't feel right. I'm sure this one will be much better.

That's because it was auto-generated out of Canvas, a drawing program. Nice if you are in a hurry, but not great for long-term stuff.

I'll be dumbfounded with amazement that borders upon stupefaction if this actually works with anything beyond the simplist scenario.

I'm working on an updated site that will contain better examples of the various graphic types, including instructions on how to make them.

For those of you who have sent me things for this site, hang tight! I'm very close to completing it. Hopefully by next week I'll have something.

Movies with BoA? in Blades of Avernum
BoE Posse
Member # 15
Profile Homepage #2
Having tried to make some mini-movies in Quintessence, IMO this is like using a hammer to drive a screw - you can do it, but man is it inefficient!

If BoA has the ability to display an external image like a GIF, I'd make an animated GIF for this. You lose sound, however.

Better yet, a FLASH movie. Just tell the user to access the movie at the proper time. Not seamless, but far easier to construct.

Yes, this virus is alive and well. It taps into people's nicknames list so as to send messages that look like they come from people you know. :mad:

I'd really appreciate it if you would look for a program like Graphic Converter that will change BMPs to GIFs or JPGs. Try shareware.com.

Anyone out there recommend a converter?

OK - I took some of the ideas - particularally about shading, and adding them to this version. This is a 1024 X 768 graphic, best downloaded and viewed at that size. I made it my desktop image.

Age - No reason she can't look young. Spells, potions, etc.

Support - I think she is within reaonable limits. Besides, those mushroom bras do wonders for you!

Thanks for the positive feedback all. Remember, three years ago I couldn't do any of this. I'll never be a master, but at least I know I have some skill.
