Title: looking for help from a cool graphix guy...
Post by: DemonInGray on April 11, 2002, 10:05:48 pm
ok, here's the deal....

we at a forum i mod for need a background / template for a futuristic looking page.

if anyone feels up to it, i was wondering if someone here could help.  what we're looking for is something like the bridge of a starship.  give it a kind of HUD look...

something along those lines

i was told that you guys here were really good with this kind of thing and would be the ones who could help.  if not, please point me in the right direction :)

thanks in advance

Go to your profile, go to the URL bar and find the userID part and put "8". Then push the link that says 'send setekh a private message"

[Slaps Midnight]

Newbies don't get newbie-bashing rights!:p

[Slaps Demon]

Wipe that smirk off your face, you maggoty, pathetic excuse of a shaved monkey! You're in Hard Light now! Now drop down and gimme $50!

And USE that .vp extractor! If that's what you're looking for! If not, you have my permission to kick this sniveling upstart who calls himself Midnight after the unfortunate time his pig-spanking mother gave birth to him twice! Then, get out your toothbrush and polish my toenails!

Insubordinate little punks these days, think they can just walk in here and ask for stuff...

And YOU! Put down that shotgun! I CAN dodge bullets in my online form, you know!

GAAAH!

1) I know Demon

2) as far as I know, he wouldn't understand half of what you just said, as he doesn't play FS

3) I've been here at least half a year longer than you

all meaning...that we need help with the page we're trying to put together...of course, I didn't think we'd find the same assholes here as at the VBB...

.vp file= Core FreeSpace archives. Have all the texturing of FreeSpace, meaning lots and lots of futuristic backgrounding.

newbie= someone who hasn't been around much. You could have been here 20 years, with that post count you'd either be a newbie or a lurker. Since I tend to assume the least creepy in human nature, I guessed newbie.

Asshole= me, yes. But at least I don't get all defensive over crap posts, or overly mean when uncalled for, making me only a part-time asshole. How about you?;)

people who need emoticons to read a patently ridiculous post as a joke=... need I say more? You're the reason they put those damn laugh tracks in good comedies as well as bad ones. Here, you've gone and made an ass of yourself. Stop now, please, because I have a low tolerance level for humorless gits, particularly ones who put on airs (well... so that's all of 'em. And?)

you're right...I am an ass

I could continue commenting, but I would only prove that fact again and again...

so, I apologize...

Okay kids, he apologized, so be nice to each other.
Here, handshake [makes them handshake]
Here, hug [makes stryke and midnight hug]

"Kids, put those guns down they're invading my personal space - right now!"

Eh?

And THAT's for making me hug a... guy, right?:D
Title: looking for help from a cool graphix guy...

"purges the whole place with holly flamethrower"

There. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, about those backgrounds I could only recommand to check renderosity.com, wander around, and ask for permissions to use stuff coz there's little doubt you don't find what you're searching for :nod:

Hey, don't worry Midnight. We're all arses in some way shape or form... ;) We all make mistakes, so no prob. Just learn from them, and you'll be fine. :)

rE:  backgrounds - unfortunately, most of use are too busy to make the actual models :(

but I'd check the Descent-Network, as they have some really good high-quality renders made for Freespace 1.  Could be useful to ya :)

this whole thing was your idea...

So that we could trace your IP, detach several members of our satanic death cult to hunt down your adress, kill you, and send us the corpse for a cannibalistic ritual. Why'd you think?

I'm in particularly poor form today, I know. Some Fridays you can get high off of directly.
