Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 13, 2002, 02:53:37 pm
(continuation of this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,9344.0.html) thread)


OK...this is the thread giving information as to where you can send your Setekh Cards!

The following guidelines must be carried out in creation of your card:


That's all.   you can put anything you want on it... a render, drawing, picture, text, or any combination of them!  Be creative, cause Setekh's going to read every single one of them :)

Also I've decided that because these are all JPEGs, 'quality' does matter... so please dont' worry about FILE size... (as long as it follows the three rules above) make the quality as GOOD AS IT CAN BE... because especially on a big JPEG, quality makes a big difference, and i've decided not to worry about size.  If we have to send a CD to him somehow that's fine too.  So remember...



Although you should try to keep the picture not a tremendously large.

When you're done, email to:
[email protected]

You can email either the entire picture as an attachment, or you can email me a link to the picture (highly recommended... so the mailbox doesn't flood)

Any questions, post here.

I don't know a deadline right now, but send them as soon as possible.  I realize a lot of people aren't reading this because they're away on vacation (in most countries these are school holidays) and i want as many people as possible to participate.

Send away!

Just a little suggestions to the admins (sandwich listen up).  Make this a sticky.

I'll see what I can whip up for the famous steak

Lol. Ahhh, yes. The young 'uns are coming. Sweet, sweet children they are :D.

Anyways, Setekh used to be  an admin here at HLP. In fact, he was one of the "founding fathers" of the place. But, he was most famous for his renders, his ever-changing avatar (even worse than Thunder) and his post count (which at one point was over 1/4 of all total postss on the forum. Anyways, if you want to see some of his work, check out the Array. It's where he used to keep all of his stuff.

well if you don't know him you don't have to make a card... unless you want to,

here's the thread he posted when he had to leave... contains everything about his reasons as to why he had to leave:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,7243.0.html

:)  i'm sure he'd appreciate cards from as many people as possible though

Thanks for stickying it Shrike (i think you're the one that did it :) well whoever it was... thank you)


Remember, that email address submits them to ME... not setekh.
I will put them together and then we'll send them ALL to him... he knows nothing of this yet :)  don't tell him either :D

Yes, I did it. ;)

I'm not going to make a card, (I'd much prefer to just talk to him onve ICQ again :p) but I'm not stopping you guys and I'm not going to spoil the surprise for you.

Did he get mine?

Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 13, 2002, 10:06:30 pm
In answer to your questions:

darkage:  It'd be fine to post the link here... or PM it to me if you don't want people to see it.

vyper:  You don't have to put a render on it!  If you want to just have a blank plain white card that says "we miss you" then that's fine too!

Unknown Target  EDIT:  I'm not going to post my picture... it's not 'private' or anything, but your cards should be INDIVIDUAL and UNIQUE.  no one card should be the same.  Just take a card, make sure it follows all 4 rules above, and go crazy on it.  do whatever you want to it

Stryke 9  Was that your card you sent me?  if so, then please note the email i replied with, and put all text ON the picture and not seperate.

Also please remember to let me know who the card is from and also know Setekh who it's from!  (i.e. sign your name on the bottom... your HLP forums name, so he knows)

One more thing.  That '[email protected]' doesn't direct the cards directly to him.  If you send your cards or a link to your cards there, I receive them.  I will archive them and when they're all together we'll send them to him.

Also PLEASE remember to make the quality good, regardless of the file size.

~Stealth~


EDIT 2:  So many people have asked me these two questions it's not even funny... I'll reply now...


1)  I don't know how to render, what should i put on my card?
PUT ANYTHING YOU WANT... these cards are unique, they're supposed to be different each one, no two cards should look alike.  Put a blank white card with writing on it if you want!  If you don't want to or don't know how to put a render, then put a screenshot from Freespace or some game, or put a generic background or a plain color background or something!

2)  Where does the email address we're sending the cards to ([email protected]) send the cards to?  Who does it send them to?

That email address does not send any cards to Setekh.  I am the only one that is allowed to check that email address, and when you send cards (or links to cards) there, I'll save them, upload them, and archive them.  When i have all cards, we'll (i will) send them to Setekh.  He doesn't know about this yet, please no one tell (attempt to) him

Why not 800x600?
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 17, 2002, 04:32:14 pm
A.)  Because of filesize
B.)  Because if he's running 800x600, then the window will take up the whole screen automatically, which i don't want it to do.  There will be a 'fullscreen' option, but only when he clicks it... It would suck to have Flash Player take up the whole screen!

im an idiot but what can you say.

steak's birthday is on the nineteenth of september.
is it possible for the cards to be ready by then? or a week either way?

(that fact just occurred to me... so. Call me an idiot.)
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 18, 2002, 12:16:21 pm
That is cutting it a bit short... if we want him to get it on the DAY of his birthday, then we'll all have to be done by September 1st (have all applications in) because it'll take one day for me to make the slide show/zip everything/burn the CD, but then it's got to be shipped, unless Black Wolf or someone else in Australia can do it, then we have till September 10th.  i don't even know if we should wait till his birthday... what do you think?

in the meantime everyone please try to get your pictures sent as soon as possible

Thanks

Post by: Carl on August 18, 2002, 08:47:39 pm
birthday sounds like the best time for this.
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 18, 2002, 09:27:43 pm
i admit this would be the best time... when did he leave HLP?  If we could get it closer to THAT date it would not only be more appropriate, but hopefully easier to accomplish.  I mean, if it's in March then screw it, but if it's December or January then that'd be better

everyone please get your cards in, we're on a dealine here
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: icespeed on August 19, 2002, 01:16:41 am
i looked it up. he left in April.

well, how bout a christmas pressie, then? that gives you stacks more time, doesn't it?... um, 30+31+30+25+today is the ... nineteenth i think, so 12 - however many days from end of school to christmas day unless i go to his house and make a hand delivery = about 128 days? take away ten or twenty for delivery.

here's mine :D http://www.cyberberry.com/kamikaze/setekh.JPG

If ya want a higher quality version just ask, I made it a level 5 (medium) quality Jpeg....
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 19, 2002, 10:32:11 am
christmas would give us another two months, but would it be appropriate!?

make it the highest quality, file size does not matter
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: icespeed on August 20, 2002, 09:39:27 pm
Does it actually have to be at an appropriate time? I mean, it'd be nice to give him a birthday/christmas/going away anniversary pressie, but it doesn't actually _matter_ if he just gets it, does it?

Personally I prefer the birthday idea, but if that's pushing it too much, then screw it.
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: Stealth on August 20, 2002, 10:02:15 pm
whatever happens he WILL get it...  somehow and sometime, before the end of this year, hopefully within the next month!

just to recap, what are the 'special' dates to him?

Birthday:  September
Christmas:  December
Anniversary:  March

correct?
Title: ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~
Post by: icespeed on August 22, 2002, 05:50:09 am
almost.
anniversary: april.

but I don't think he counts that as 'important' in the same way as the other things are important... actually, i think he once told me he didn't count birthdays or christmases too important either, at least in the presents aspect...
give him a nice surprise, then.

PEOPLE!! GET YOUR CARDS IN!!!

Post by: Carl on August 22, 2002, 05:50:45 am
i may seem like 20 more cards can't be done in that amount of time, but remember, each of them is done by one person. if each person were to sit down and do theirs right now, we'd be done.

that's true Carl, but unfortunately when it comes to a community effort, the community seems to dissolve away!

if everyone would take 2 minutes of their time (literally) then we'd get somany cards!

yeah, unfortunately this is an awesome 'community' and all, but when it actually comes to doing something, (and by the way, i can't think of a more 'honorable' cause than this) then it seems to just 'sizzle' and everyone just disappears suddenly

              2. I'm no good with making cards digitally. Anything handrawn is fine... but i don't have a scanner.
              3. I sent you my address so if you haven't already checked your email (it's stealth_space@hotmail, isn't it?), go check it right now. Like, NOW.
