Nadril

Actualy i can tell the difference Mostly in the contrast. and yeah, my download gave me pictures as well. :arrow:

29, nice Whats the max for ACT... slips my mind. I'm going to be taking it this summer O.o

Your looking at the right one. I dunno, i thought it had enough pictures Just read it more carefully. and go to the stock sites he sugests, they are much better. and ps: ALWAYS save your work in full quality, unless size limintations from you host or from the site (like a size limit for a sig) are in your way. As you want your piece to look the best posible. (i'd sugest saving as a .png)

When i saw this at first i was like "wow. nice manip there." Than i looked at the stock photo and was disapointed you did a good job of brining it out, but i hopped you actualy maniped the stars/clouds/spaceship/ect. into the piece oh well, it looks nice, but not what I thought.

http://www.mayang.com/textures/index.htm a great place for textures. also, google for perhaps actual planet textures. Than manip them and add other textures onto them. Can you send me the link to the one your using? I'll make sure if its right

You don't necisarily "need" a whole different keyboard, the templates i belive just go on the keyboard. Its a very nice one. How much do you think they run? (i've seen in one of my pc gamers before) i'm looking for a new keyboard anyways

Guild wars is like if Everquest and Diablo II had a baby. So the action will be very diablo II oriented, but a LOT more team based. Which is a good thing, although you can still get henchmen to adventure with you if your a lewser with no freinds

They arn't bad planets for a first, however The whole scene looks realy distorted and stretchy.. i'd half it's size to get it to look a tad better. Keep working at it.

Lol, thinking about dol brought back memorys of USAR's 3hour and 45 minute match with a different FA clan. (i belive ifrit was in the battle ) It was something like this: Durandal, 5v5. (or maybe 4v4) on our team, it was me, jairyn, ifrit (i think), cow, and i forgot the other person. Their team was good as well. Anyways... we started off kind of even, but then they owned us. Owned us to where they had a good 130reins and we only had like 50 left, maybe 40. So we come up with this idea, after almost thinking "yeah were screwed" cow and ifrit camped the base. Meanwhile Jairyn would do rushes to their base, kill a person or two along the way, and destroy their crates. I was camping somewhat half way in a hall way anyways, soon the reins got closer and closer, untill it was them 2 reins us 1. Then the server "crashed" (I.E they didn't want to loose) so we basicly won by deffault. Infact.. i'm currious if the old USAR page is still up (probaly got deleted) because it was realy funny, and cool. but yeah, Dol brings back other memorys as well such as the constant arguging between USAR and Dol, and maybe even the ocasional TAC or old AA vet so good luck to you and wellsy on starting it up again.

go check out alyn.deviantart.com 's page. He has a planet tutorial there, and i use a method like that one. I Still consider my self a newbie to space (i like landscapes better) but thats what i do. Just browse his stuff and look for his planet guide/tut. also check out his starfield and nebula thing as well

Photoshop is a load of fun (planets are done in photoshop) thanks everyone. I don't quite like it much my self, but oh well.

I've created mine just try and add Nadril Neverwinter (probaly my alia's i will be playing as) when it comes out. ps: i have around some 15 members and its growing alot.

oh god, DoL is back Lol, I remember when Dol got started. Good times, then me and jairyn broke off from AA as well and made USAR ps: still think we woulda toasted you if USAR and Dol ever had a match like we should have.

http://img215.echo.cx/img215/9282/tacnadspace1ep.png I dunno... just something I did because i was boored... wanted to test out my new planet

Not bad. its realy crowded though, and i personaly dislike wallies that are crowded, too hard to find icons maybe next time try and do some more stuff to it and cut down on pics

Its not bad. However... as some people may find out about me, is I despise Images (mostly ones you did not create your self, or non-stock images) in sigs. So if i act like an ass about it i'm sorry, its just I don't take stealing lightly (as in copyright infringment) the background isn't bad though. a Tad filtery looking though. How long have you been going at photoshop? it could help me help you out a bit more.

Hugging fatmen should be illegal..... Hopefully your steam problems you were telling me 'bout will be fixed.

^^^ Lol, any of you guys want to join a guild? *HINT HINT*

So... who is playing guild wars? Either has played in the beta or plans to get it this wendsay (well thursday for you all, as a beta test i get a day early) Anyways... I personaly love the game, and am the leader of a guild called "Guardians of Light" [GoL] If your interested, you can also ask me if you wanna be in the guild. Most likly TAC members will have a definite incresed chance of becoming an officer. Atm, Basald and Wheat are in (G is too, but might not play when it comes out) and Jairyn is planing on getting the game and joining. the website is www.guildwars.com I am also working on one for my Guild, but as of now it sucks... horibly, so i'm not going to show anyone as of now. so... what do you all think about guild wars?

Yeah all PS And i can't belive you guys are using it as your desktop lol, its like 750x750 :o

Thanks guys :o and i still wish it was larger (its realy small right now :o ) but ah well. so thanks again everyone

http://img192.echo.cx/img192/631/planetpreview3nz.png Wow... this took forever to do. Anyways, i used stock photos from http://www.mayang.com/textures/index.htm for the base "texture" It was all desaturated so then i had to color the whole thing (meep). Than i did the atmosphere and all of that. So i can say that this planet realy is mine (the stock photos were like photos of ... rocks and concrete and stuff like that, hardly actual planets.) Anyways, it's going to be a part in a big space scene i'm doing (16x20 inches :peace: ) So this is realy maybe my... 4th or 5th planet i've made (i'm ubar lazy i know) , and i realy wanted to get something that looked nice and somewhat realistic. Hopefully I acheived that. :peace:

24... maybe even 30 on some larger maps. But 32 players gets out of hands on some maps. I.E, office with 32 players? madness!

Yesterday i had my own run in with the "name bug" I was playing on dust late at night, and DR was there. Well later, he left. Than Wheat Bun and Bones came in, but i couldn't see them on the score list. When they came back i also noticed DR back, i tried talking to him but he said nothing. I figured that maybe the server still thought wheatbun/bones was DR on my thing, or something, and it just showed his name for the whole match. it was realy odd....

1,168 I suck at this game lol.
