Title: Userbars for all: A request thread
Post by: Sabata on February 27, 2009, 22:11:07
Hello! This is the userbar requesting thread, started by me in the old forum before it crashed. I'll try to work on uploading all the previous ones, so that you will all be able to keep your old userbar if you had one.

For those of you that are new, hello! I'm Sabata, and a while ago I started a userbar requesting thread in the Nifflas Forum for anyone who wanted one. What is a userbar, you ask? A userbar is a fairly small image, usually 350x19 pixels, that is used to show an achievement, favorite game, food, other preference of yours, or pretty much anything you'd like the world to know about yourself. For example, say that you like to play the Kingdom of Loathing (http://www.kingdomofloathing.com). For this, I made this userbar:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/m8jlag.jpg)
Code: [Select]
[IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/m8jlag.jpg[/IMG]There are many different ways I can do these, and you can request any method you'd like! You can have rounded edges, a glare, different fonts, a custom background image, or pretty much anything else, even animation! The possibilities are endless.

Lastly, for those of you new to forumming, you may ask, "How do I use these?" Well, see the "code" box beneath the image? You only need to copy that text into your signature while editing your profile, and you're good to go!

I hope you enjoy any userbar I make for you, and I hope this thread will have the same success as it did previously. Request away!

what about your archive (http://sabata.byethost8.com/userbar_archive.php)? that should help you with reposting. also, the old forum is still up, so you could copy most of it from here (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?topic=4625.0). :)
Title: Re: Userbars for all: A request thread
Post by: Sabata on February 27, 2009, 22:25:25
Ah, yes. I'll get working on that, thanks. I didn't think about the old forum, don't know why. I don't know when I'll update my archive next, but I hope to make it more efficient.

Sup Sabata,
Thanks for making that other userbar for me but i have another request if your up to it!

http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=250.0

That is a link to a level im making, on the page there is a picture. I  want a userbar saying "Scavenger" and if you could, add those russian words on it. The background can just be black.

Thanks alot

Hey Sabata, sorry i never used the bars you made for me :(
I was wondering if you could make me a bar that's transparent meaning something like my sig, it has no colour.
in this bar of no colour there should be a cloud and on the cloud are the words Like my caterpillar? with the caterpillars face at the side. like this {( ._.)-------(cloud image here with text " Like my caterpillar?)]

I'm afraid I interpreted the request a bit too literally; is that what you wanted?

Also, I started work the other day on a simple uploader for my archive; it would save a file to my website and then modify the file that holds the archive. It isn't done yet, though.

Finally, I'd appreciate it if a mod were to remove the off-topic chatter about the "user avatar" stuff. :/

Also, SD, I'm getting to work on yours - I didn't notice it before I started on Soron's. :/

I generally make everything I use. Except fonts, of course. (Though I am in the process of making a bitmap font in Fontforge, however, I'm having a few problems generating the actual file. XD )

Strange Darkness, there's your userbar. I hope it's not too late. :P2
In case you can't see it, the Russian text is in the background - all of it. The stuff in the middle is harder to see, though, because of the 'Scavenger' text.

Edit: Also, here's a Knytt Nano userbar I made the other day. Anyone may use it.

Post by: Sabata on March 22, 2009, 03:21:42
Yes, you may. Unless I say that I only want it used on this forum, which isn't likely as that's just silly.

Strange Darkness, does yours seem okay?

Title: Re: Userbars for all: A request thread
Post by: Sabata on March 26, 2009, 03:08:03
Razzorman, here is your userbar. The first one uses the font 'Redensek' (http://www.dafont.com/redensek.font), another popular userbar font. The other is my regular font, Visitor. (http://www.dafont.com/visitor.font)

If you don't like an aspect of it, I can fix it. I wasn't sure about the camera reflection, myself. :S

Also, awhile ago I started making an updater of sorts for my archive, which Miss Paula provided a link to in the second post. It's working, but I won't know when I'll finish it to be usable. For right now, the archive is still un-updated.

Could you make me a Userbar that says "Fan of cuccos!" to the right and a picture of a cucco to the left please Sabata? :D


What you said in the Rate the sig/Avatar above you, Thread inspired the idea ;)
Title: Re: Userbars for all: A request thread
Post by: Wanderer on April 03, 2009, 00:31:17
Can you make a userbar for me? I don't want any images, and try not to make it fancy. Darker colors preferably. I don't want people to think happy about this cause, as it is a serious one. Look at my signature. It tells about the 30 Hour Famine, can you please make a userbar with that text?

Thanks Sabata,
Wanderer

Oy, sabata :D
Sorry for requesting another thing (Although it has been awhile)
could I get a "I <3 Chemistry" userbar? <:3
It would be great to have lots of rate of reaction bars floating around (rate of reactions as in something like: 2H + energy + O ---> H20 + energy, that kinda thing.
Thnx alot :)

Could you make me a "Look to the skies" userbar?
You made me one on the old forum, but I'd like it animated this time.
I don't care what it looks like, just animation.

Thanks!

These are incredible! Especially the Cucuos one. (Not sure how to spell that.)
You have an exceptional eye for design.
Any chance you could post a tutorial on these? Like what programs to use, etc? Even something basic would be awesome.

Post by: Sabata on May 05, 2009, 02:28:29
Firstly, thanks for the comments, everyone. I appreciate it. The reason I've taken so long to post these is that I've been really busy over the past few days, what with school ending soon and a project that I'll be announcing fairly soon. Don't worry though, these are always on my mind. :P

Static: Thanks! I started a tutorial a while ago, but I've not yet finished it. I'll probably make a new one eventually, and when I do I'll be sure to post it here.

Soron: Here's yours, I hope it's what you were looking for:

FPB: I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for yours, as you know making an animated userbar takes quite a long time and is even harder when I have to come up with a good idea myself. Feel free to add any concepts you may have.

Thanks again, and please enjoy!

Its funny because i feel bad asking you agian for another userbar  :oops: ...  X)

well i want this to be really simple

i want text to the left which reads "An Empty Corridor" (you can choose wat font but make it relate to the text)
in the picture is wat i want in the background
if you want to add a effect or wateva that you think would make it look ... good i guess XD
go ahead but as i said it has to feel empty

- Kind regards Strange Darkness
Title: Re: Userbars for all: A request thread
Post by: Sabata on May 15, 2009, 04:04:26
Don't feel bad. xD

Again, sorry for the delay this time around. My mysterious time-occupier takes a lot of time, and the animation for FPB's userbar took a really long time for the timing to be correct.

Anyways.

FlyingPigBoy: If the animation's too fast or something, please let me know. Fireworks has a bit of a problem exporting .gif files, unfortunately. :/

(of course you dont have to do this but i do recomend  XD  X-P i mean you make great userbars for everyone without complaining or nothin so i think you deserve a userbar like that...maybe someone else should make it but.... YOUR THE EXPERT!)

also small thing
you remember this creation right?
(http://i37.tinypic.com/14iq040.png)
well could you change the text to:
Player Killer Hugger
i would do this but i will either screw up or not know how to XD
once agian thanks for the userbars and the tip!

Post by: Dandelion on May 25, 2009, 06:48:29
Wow, your userbars are awsome! If you don't mind, would you make me one that says
"KS Level and tileset creator/fanatic" with a purple background that includes these sprites?
Spoiler: Sprites (click to show/hide)
If that's too much text or too many sprites, please let me know so I can come up with a more reasonable request.

Thanks for the comments! I'm going to make a userbar for myself (pointing to this thread) eventually, though I don't know when. If you're sure that you don't want that userbar, it's fine.
