DimensionWarped Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'd like to encourage people to participate in this stuff, so I've slapped together a patchwork system for issuing out medals for various activities. Whenever there is some kind of contest in the concept storm, participation and especially full participation will net accolades in the form of little images that show up in your profile. If someone has too many, we'll work something out then... Anyway, for the first contest currently ongoing, the following medals will be made: Participant's medal - 1 problem complete Silver accolade - 3 problems complete Gold accolade - 5 problems complete You can still get gold and have an undone problem. The one currently hanging below my name is just an example. The real medals are probably going to look more like something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I can help you design some. I'll dig in my photobucket to see if I can find some old award images that never got used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 That would be swell. I meant to say that I was looking for some help with that but I guess it slipped my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 First (and only) set of 'award medals' made for defunct Sonic Deck, heh. Is something like this what you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Problem is, they do have to be contained in a relatively small space. Horizontally it's not so bad, about 175 pixels... but vertically I want to keep things at 50 or less. So if you can do something similar on top of a rectangular border, that'd make a good set of templates. Also, for the bronze looking one, I'd rather go for more of a neutral kind of feel rather than something that denotes any kind of rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Sure thing. These were actually bigger but I resized them. I just used these as examples, though. I'll work on something with the adequate size now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Finally got something done, bars: I'm still trying to get better stuff done with GIMP, but I used PDN for the final touches again, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Gimp is a great program, I'm starting to prefer it to CS4 (haven't tried CS5 yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yeah, I've been getting used to it lately. However, what really helped me out is GimpBox, a script that allows single window mode. Fuck yeah no more crappy multiwindow bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 As a suggestion, how about a creative-idea-of-the-month award too? Perhaps it could just be a mod-edited stamp added to the post in particular, or another medal the author/s carries for the rest of the next month, or maybe some better idea. Perhaps that could be like a wildcard in awarding the medals that are normally awarded - you might only have 1 post of participation, but that post earns you fame and temporary glory. It would be cool to see someone's avatar with this little award, and to know that that person has written something considered by others to be a bit special, then to go and hunt down that special thing. Hmm... I don't know if it's possible but perhaps clicking that award could link straight to the particular post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I dunno if there's a vB plugin that can manage these kind of things, but I'll look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Derp. Didn't realize I already posted since it was on the page for the better of 2+ hours.=/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wow, I don't know how I missed this exactly. Actually, I think the first project storm just had Gold Silver and Tinkerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Alright, the medals should be replaced now. Users might have to post once before they change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 There. I'll be looking out for some ideas for the spooky one. Also maybe make topic icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
