I...well... Wouldn't know what to say... No idea who he is (Probably a great guy from the looks of it). If I knew him I probably would've made him a card.

It's his own, private program called "SPIRIT". It used to be "SPIRE", Seamlessly Pertinent Image Rendering Engine, and then it changed to "SPIRIT",  Seamlessly Pertinent Image Rendering In Totality. :)

if the community wants I can try to fashion a "people who want to have their name mentioned" card quickly ............  if you still have time

If not, cool that we got the amount of cards we did (although more would have been great) :yes:

Is it too late (or possible at all) for people to have their name submitted for the "couldn't make a card but still thinking of you" list? I didn't notice that specific aspect of this endeavour until just now, and I would like to show that it wasn't a lack of appreciativeness and well wishes that resulted in my non-submission of a card.

if your name is not on the list, and you sent one, then resend it

i'm sorry but i'm not going to accept any other cards from people that "didn't have time" because that is bull crap... all these lazy bastards that wait till it's over... well it's too late.

Try to compile a list Kamikaze, because i decided i'm going to mail it monday morning.

u guys, stealth is right anyways, you could have let him know that u wanted to be on a card long ago, but come to the last day and people are all the sudden "hey here's mine" or "hey you forgot me put me on the list!"

now i know some of u had problems or reason why u couldn't and alot of you that couldn't didn't... but those that "couldn't" except magically the had the time after the fact.. that's bull****. too bad, so sad, don't get mad, jus be glad, there's always a glass of milk you could do yourself a favor by and drink it.

Post by: Stryke 9 on September 08, 2002, 07:16:25 pm
**** if I know.

In other words, Stealth. That was a little text thing I'd put in at the bottom, on the assumption that Steak'd have access to the email address or that the whole message would get forwarded to him. When Stealth had a problem with it, I told him to skip the text and send the image. Evidently, he ignored me.

you sent me the render picture with the text in the Email

i'm not going to send the Email to setekh, so i emailed you back and said i was going to put the text onto the render (which i did, using photoshop)

you never replied, so i thought it'd be OK... all i did was add the text, didn't touch the render in any way, i've got the email i sent to prove it

still if you're not happy with it, send it to me again and i'll add it :)

to the "readme" file :P
Title: Final Submission... *just for information*
Post by: Stealth on September 08, 2002, 07:43:28 pm
what i was going to do is have the CD with an installation file which will install flash player on his computer (actually i couldn't find the standalone flash player, so he'll have to install the Flash 5 DEMO which is small in filesize, and will be on the CD, so therefore he'll have the flash player.)

When he opens the "setekh.swf" (flash) file it'll take him to the Flash movie (which i'm making right now) which can either open in full screen or in regular window :D

regardless, it will be standalone, won't need a browser.

then there'll be ANOTHER directory with the pictures individual, so he can open each one up individually :)

EDIT:  I decided for compatibility reasons it WILL open in the browser, with a button to open it in full-screen.  this is done via javascript, and it willwork on any 5.0+ browser, which i hope he's running :p

Title: Final Submission... *just for information*
Post by: Stealth on September 08, 2002, 07:59:13 pm
he'll get it on his birthday (september 18th) if icespeed emails me an address i should send the CD to!!!

Here's the "readme" file that's going to be on the main directory in the CD.  (there will be an 'archived' folder, with the actual individual pictures, a 'readme' file (displayed below) and a 'slide show' folder, which has all the files for the slide show (SWF, HTML, FLA, the javascript, etc.))

Readme.txt:



           SSSSS  EEEEEE  TTTTTTTT  EEEEEE  KK  KK  HH  HH
  =====    SS     EE         TT     EE      KK KK   HH  HH    =====
  =====    SSSSS  EEEEEE     TT     EEEEEE  KKKK    HHHHHH    =====
  =====       SS  EE         TT     EE      KK KK   HH  HH    =====
           SSSSS  EEEEEE     TT     EEEEEE  KK  KK  HH  HH

*note that the above looks good in notepad, which is what the .txt file will open as... unfortunately it doesn't work here :D*


Greetings Setekh, oh greatly missed one!

I'm sure you remember me: Stealth.
You helped me first get 'Hosted' with HLP, and I knew you from
the Volition Bulletin Board (which i'm sure you know is now closed)

Since you have been gone for months now, the HLP community has really
started to miss you!  I started a "Campaign" to have as many people
as possible in HLP mail a card (with certain specifications, such as
size, format, etc.) to me, and after a few weeks i'd take all the cards
i have (had), archive them, and send them to you!

These cards aren't just send because they were required:  These cards
represent the feelings of all those in the community YOU helped to
establish!  The community has really grown since you've left, and it
now has almost 1000 members, almost 10,000 threads, and almost 200,000
posts!  

Definately the community you've helped to create... in face, the
community that you HAVE created, has soared, and the campaign/modding
community is thriving, with new campaigns, new models, new renders,
new textures, etc. popping up every day!  

Yes, without a doubt the community at Hard Light Productions is
stronger than ever, and it's definately increasing!

These cards are from various members of the Hard Light Productions
community...  Their purpose was to let you know that you are missed
and we all are greatly looking forward to the day you'll return to
the community you've created!

-^~^~^~=-= To view your slide-show =-=~^~^~^-
I burned this CD to make everything as easy as possible.  Go to the
directory:  "/slideshow" then open the HTML file (only the HTML file)
...this will open the Flash SWF Slide-show in your browser (note that
you will need to have at least the Flash 5 plugin installed on your
computer to view it.  If you don't, it will prompt you to install it).

You can view the slide-show in either 'full screen' or 'regular size'
(which is basically just on your browser window).  I recommend you
first change your screen size to 800x600, as that's the size the
slide-show was meant to be viewed in.  Also i recommend you use the
'full screen' option, because that will display cards at their full
resolution.

You see, if you view them on 'regular size' it will display all cards
at the current resolution on your computer.  If you put your screen
on 800x600 and view full screen you'll get the cards viewed as they
should be viewed! :)

If you have ANY trouble with it, please don't hesitate to let me know
at either:  [email protected]  or [email protected]
(an email address created for ease in receiving these cards from HLP
members) :)

Also there is a directory called 'archived'.  For more information on
what'd in the 'archived' directory see the 'Readme' file which is in
the directory.  Basically it's just individual cards, should you want
to view any individually.

There is one member of the community who didn't get a chance to send
a card in.  His name is Su-tehp (in the HLP forums) and he gives you
his regards and says he misses you.

Everyone else who participated, well, has sent a card :)

We all miss you at HLP forums however, whether we sent a card or not,
and we are hoping to see you very soon


Now I recommend you open the "slideshow.html" file which is located
in the /slideshow/ directory.  This will display all cards.



Regards, and we miss you
~Stealth~

[email protected] (temporary email address)

[email protected] (primary email address)


*The End*

EDIT:  Shrike sent me the cool HLP logo, which will spice up the page.

Of course as soon as i get done with the Flash movie, put it all together, and burn it on a disk i'll post all the contents of the disk Zipped up (.ZIP) so you can download it and see how it looks.  looks like it'll be a few days till Icespeed contacts me, so if there's any changes to be made that'll happen during that time too :)

SEPTEMBER 19TH!! It's SEPTEMBER the 19TH!! not 18th, 19TH!!!
GET IT RIGHT DAMN YOU!!!!!!

Sorry. I get a bit touchy about things sometimes. but you could do us the favour of GETTING IT RIGHT.

Just to make sure you've had it hammered into your head:
The Steak was born on September the 19th.
Okay?

I'll see if I can persuade him to come online when I give it to him, but I can't guarantee anything.

*runs off and plots revenge*

*returns for money for a b day present*

*assumes Setekh is into beanie babies*

:drevil:

P.S. remember guys... 19th.... Steaks b day is like it's on th e24th, except you subtract 5 days, making it the 19th, which is also 1 more than the 18th and triple that of the 5th. plus 4 days.
