Spike Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey, if you guys are still trying to change the reps into emeralds, you should change the text (like "just leave everything to this guy" and stuff) to "Has one emerald", "Has two emeralds", you know. When you get seven, it could say "You can now become Super -User-!" XD Corniness aside, just a thought. Here are some emeralds about the size of the rep boxes, too.

GSF Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have S2 and S3/K style emeralds to choose... I'm leaning on S2, it does look better. Once I have some consistent new stuff, I'll update the sneak peek. @Spike: Now XYZ can be Super XYZ! It fits... sorta. EDIT: OK, time to vote for the favorite Emerald rep meter style, pic in the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Definitely prefer the S3 ones, on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I do, too. S3 ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sonic 3, because we are nostalgic bastards that like living in the past. No, really, my vote does go to the S3 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 My vote goes for the Sonic 3 Style... Looks very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Guess that does it, S3 it is. BTW, I'll make the 4-color basic array for now, but if the forum is upgraded with a rep add-on, I'll make the required changes. Next up... Er, topic status icons. This is gonna take some time...

Heck, I got some ideas, We could use the monitors from Sonic Worlds. - New Posts - No New Posts - Thread Closed - Hot thread w/ new posts - Hot thread w/ no new posts - You have posted in this thread. (Boxes are by Damizean). So, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The monitors are a little big, I think. Just the icons from the monitors would be sweet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 So? You can also say "at least they're as big as the moon" and they'll still be big. : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 At least they are not the S3 Monitors... Good reasoning there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think the monitors are a little over the top. I liked how the thread icons worked in the old forums, where they were gold (new posts), silver (no new posts), gray (closed) rings. Then again, it could just be nostalgia.

GSF Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Monitors could work, but the 'You have posted' concept consists in a variant for each primary icon. An individual Sonic face doesn't indicate if there are new replies or anything. I'm thinking about using the big rings Ila posted for the subforum icons. As for topics... I'll look on it. As an example, here's a portion of the icon set of the ol' Dark Water: - Normal topic - Hot topic - Locked topic Any topics where you posted display the normal icon with a small dot above, like this: It must be built over this concept. Maybe some level elements could fit. Bobbins or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The flowers form Green Hill Zone maybe? First thing that came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 *scratches head* now THIS is confusing... I think we should use rings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Please don't turn this into "how many random sonic related objects and patterns can we fit into one skin".. I'm happy someone is finally making something more tailored to this community but don't go overboard on repeating checkerboard patterns and things of that ilk, you know.

Spike Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah, too much of that is distracting. I'd rather the topic icons just be... normal things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Normal 'paper' icons with a dot or something eh? Agree on that... Simpler and easier to put together. More stuff comin' up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I would have to agree that an icon that will be seeing alot of (post icons) should be a tad more tasteful. and I honestly have no problem with squares as rep, but whatever. And christ Koray, you pick the wackiest times to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I had this crazy idea of using the Sonic 1/2/3 continue icon as rep. However, the squares a fine too. I mean, we don't need anything too flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hm... You gave me an idea Azu, I'll try a mix of these, sort of. Directly using the continue icon would be SCD-ish, but I'll try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Normal 'paper' icons with a dot or something eh? Agree on that... Simpler and easier to put together.More stuff comin' up.

Koray Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 And christ Koray, you pick the wackiest times to show up. I try to show up as much as possible. I honestly miss the place. I'm just really busy you know. Back in school and stuff and my sister had a baby that I now take care of during the day. Just, business. Glad you didn't forget me though deary ..
