As the poll indicated a 9:1 favor to pull the color edits, the color edits are now pulled from the Louvre and are available as a separate ZIP download right off the search page. In the download are two folders. One is for Daniel Ray's edits. The other is for miscellaneous edits. The remaining 170+ graphics are nearly all originals. The color edits that remain I feel show significant effort & change from the original - not just an entire color shift. I probably made some mistakes here - pulling Daniel's stuff was fairly easy, but I did leave some of his things in the DB. Please let me know if you see a need to pull any other obvious edits out of the DB, or if by chance I did pull a graphic out and should NOT have, please let me know that as well. The records.js file is now down to 75K - an acceptable size with room to grow. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Brett, nice job! It's much easier to sift through now. -------------------- "If you held a weapon to Fwiffo's head, he would say anything you wanted him to.

I find the choice of edits to leave in a bit odd. Out of 14 edits from me that you left, 8 are just simple color shifts (Alternate Lasers, Armor, Banded Walls, Carpets, Knives, Massive Walls, Mossy Walls, and Pattern Tiles) In contrast, roughly 30 of the graphics pulled were a little more than color edits (I'm not saying that any of them should have stayed - nor do I intend to make any such statement, since I'm obviously biased.)

Wow. Now that the Lourve has its act together, maybe I should do the same. Expect some submissions from my end of the world soon. ---Your graphic maniac, Necris Omega -------------------- Razordisk Frisbee Golf Posts: 168 | Registered: Saturday, October 26 2002 07:00 |

ahhh.... that looks much better--perhaps not as impressive, but it looks much cleaner. perhaps now people will make more graphics for it and not feel like their work is being drowned by the color-shifts. :) -------------------- Awesome BoA Graphics MSN: bleusoulilcercatore@hotmail.com AIM: Byzantine Jones Posts: 635 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

Perhaps it would suit Mr. Bixler to add some kind of mechanism for community rating of graphics? That way graphics which are low-quality (or buggy) would stick out more. -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest. Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

that's a good idea... if BB could work that in, that is... unfortunately, graphics that get high ratings may be overused in scenarios... ah... i dunno... maybe it's not such a great idea. -------------------- Awesome BoA Graphics MSN: bleusoulilcercatore@hotmail.com AIM: Byzantine Jones Posts: 635 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |
