Title: Painfully OT: Dumb MB Question ^^;
Post by: Culando on March 15, 2002, 11:50:48 pm

I don't know if I'm just too tired right now to see it, but I can't find out how to get an avatar. I've seen how to set it up on a very similar type of MB, but I don't know how to earn one here.

Sorry for asking such a dumb question. ^^;

Run a search for 'avatar' on the HLP FAQ page.

www.3dap.com/hlp/faq

Ah, thank you. I was looking at the wrong FAQ. ^^;

Hmm, so I need to work on a project and get it approved eh? Well, I've got tons of ideas, but have been way to lazy to work on the missions. Perhaps this will motivate me to seek help and get my ideas out there.

Then my master plan to get an avatar will be complete! >=D

Oops! Did you hear that last part? ^^;

Yep, you were talking aloud. :D

Alternatively, you can of course join something that's already hosted here. What are your talents/skills? :)

Well... *grabs a loud speaker to pimp his skillz* :D

1.) I'm an ameteur artist. I didn't draw the pic in my pseudo sig though. Once I draw a decent pic of my character I will use that one. =p
I've come up with basic ideas for ships, but nothing really good enough. Just terribly basic ideas, but enough for people to build upon. :)

2.) I come up with ALOT of ideas for campaigns. Some good, some dull. I just don't have the patience to sit down and write the missions. ^^;

For example, a new project I've been thinking about starting is a new campaign that takes place outside the normal FS universe.

The Galactic Terran Empire is a very opressive state that worships the Shivans. They pay omage to their "gods" by supplying them with whatever they need. The Vasudans refuse to help the Shivans however, so they are viewed as enemies. The Terran Resistance is a group of rebels who wants to instill a new government and defeat the Shivans.

You are a pilot in the Empire and you are about to fly a mission where you wipe out criminals, but you soon learn that you are attacking innocent civilians and you defect to the Resistance.
*end*

The story in the works though.

*miniturizes a live Shivan and eats it* Mmm. Yummy.

The 158th needs you already (im the 158th hosted person thingy), i need fredders, but more importantly i need ideas for specific missions given a scenario.  If you can texture ships using textures of your own or ones other make, thats an added bonus.  Interested?  You'll get a perty blue avatar like the one i got. :D

please please please please

Yeah, and Venom was half right.

I'm really into anime.

Hmm, the 158th, I'll look into it. I'm not that good a mission builder. But ideas, I got. :D

I hope for your sake that's a miss-type.

I suppose it is possible by using a monospace font and trying to draw stuff with arrays of characters... :D

I may be able to do some stuff, e-mail me at [email protected] with details - I might be able to do some table stuff and possibly something else. Depends on my RL load.

And I believe one can do *some* drawing in MS Word...
