Something to Play With...

Formation Build | Beta

Just felt bored and made this small application. Nifty. Maybe I'll add a save feature or something.

That's cool. You should make this so you can save it directly to the database, so we don't have to be s/s's

Syphon · 09-04-2008, 11:46 PM

haha. Yeah.

but something about S/S makes the thing seem more real and easier to understand. Dunno why...

You can make the units look more realistic than just a square with their head and half their bodies on it.
Put full bodies on it.

I need a volunteer... anyone? You would be making a vital contribution!

He took it from the formation database, which has fixed sizes.

I've thought about one of these before it's a cool idea.

I would help so long as it takes only effort and patience and time and not any sort of internet ability. S'long as I don't have to be skilled to help I will basically.

What is the job? I'll do it maybe.

Syphon · 09-05-2008, 12:06 AM

It is pure grunt work. Work such that I feel bad asking someone else to do it, because I don't have time >_<.

The task:
Using a good image editor (e.g. photoshop), I need a cut-out of each unit is just 1 color.

Here is how I would go about it (you may have a more efficient approach). Go into settings, pick a color, and space the first 7-8 different units (of 19) so that you have a clear shot of each (no obstructing units in the front). Screenshot, trim, and repeat (maybe 1 or 2 times) - boring! Please include the shadow (don't crop it out).

That's it. What do you think? Is it too... boring?

I'll do it if you want, maybe, but I can't make any promises

edit: I can do it. Gimme like, 20 minutes and I'll have 'em all.

editedit: BG color is gonna be black. Hope that's not a problem.
