Great News!

:P

Greebo now has the ability to create map tiles and pc/pc/item avatars. He's kindly volounteered to take over that task from now on.

:P
I don't recall uttering the words "take over"...
... I recall saying 'ASSIST'...

[DinbinFanfoom]

Fixed! :D :D :D

[DinbinFanfoom]

Naw, I was just jokin'. Though I wanted to let the group know that there was another avenue available to them for tile uploads, though those will come from GM's (all 3 of em, including you) typically. "More tiles" is the single biggest "feature" request I've been getting. :P

[Greebo]

And FYI, DMs. I have a library of 3000 or so counters that I purchased recently. I should be able to provide *just* about any NPC you're looking for.

Now if Din would only set up multi tile monsters!

Work FASTER, Slacker! ;)

I'll take a bunch of assorted goblins and kobolds. Annnnnd oh maybe some PC races like tiefling or deva. Might as well throw in a dragon while you're at it. For here, please.

[Greebo]

THe bad news is all the tiles are at home, so no uploads till later, sorry.

[Zyzzyx]

Ohh... that's how it works: glad to help, but now the excuses start... uh huh... :rolleyes: :p

[Sagar]

Cool! So no more modeling a dragon with a wolf and a blob? WOOT!

[DinbinFanfoom]

I particularly liked the blob labelled "Dragon's Ass".

[Greebo]

Once (if) Dinbin implements multi-tile pixels, yeah.

[Greebo]

Well I figured out how to add a Tiefling Warlock

Looks a lot like me, too :D

A few goblins and hobgoblins, and a couple of dragons (red), added.

With the tiles I have, I have to remove the backgrounds and scale them down, so it takes some time.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Larger-than-1-square avatars should be handled now. Side effect (hopefully temporary): stuff is upper-left justified in the grid-squares. Try it out, Greebs. All stuff is default size 1/1... if you have a 2x2 avatar, put 2 and 2 in the SizeX and SizeY fields...

[Greebo]

Neat, will try

[Greebo]

Um...

What sizex and sizey fields?

[DinbinFanfoom]

Um...
What sizex and sizey fields?Sorry, in the DB. Though to be honest, I don't think it matters... if you say an avatar is "1 x 1" but it's graphic is 80x80 (2x2) it'll still expand to fill the 80x80 space... (4 squares). Just use a big tile and see.

OH I was looking for them on the asp page itself. I thought you were doing something funky like having the image expand or contract based on the x and y size value of the npc. You're driving it off the image? Interesting!

Either way, can't argue with the results!

You're driving it off the image? Interesting!It's simpler than that, even... the x/y size really isn't needed at all... the graphic is in a DIV that has a z-index of 5... it's anchored relative to the grid, but floats over it. The graphic could be 4521 by 12... it renders it and overlaps whatever it overlaps.

[Shiz]

That looks cool!

[Lycos]

Nice job Din! Very cool.

[EricStratton]

Nice!

[Greebo]

Did your code change have the effect of putting us always in the top left of the square?

*points up to my original post on subject* :P

[Greebo]

Well see there's your problem - you expected me to read the WHOLE thing and not just the first and last sentences! ;)

[Zyzzyx]

So... about the flickering char info...

Possible to fix, or we live with it?

Yeah it is annoying^2.

[Greebo]

Wasn't one thread asking about it enough? :P
