BlitzCoder Memory: User Avatar Cards wanted!

Community Forums/Showcase/BlitzCoder Memory: User Avatar Cards wanted!

Grisu(Posted 2003) [#1]
I'm looking for people that would like to contribute a "User Avatar Card" or a whole "Card Pack" for Cardwar.
Over 130 Users have already sent in their cards.



Your User Card should meet the following rules:

1. the card is 64x91 pixels
2. must be a max. 16M color "png" image
3. transparency color in the corners: 255,0,255 (pinky)
4. only one! card is allowed per user or make a complete card pack (i.e. 49 cards or more)!

Use this empty card as template:



Thanks for reading.


Rob Farley(Posted 2003) [#2]



Grisu(Posted 2003) [#3]
Thanx Rob. Nice card, but -

could you set your name on the purple border (you can change the border colour as well if you like) and
add some "funny" words about you under it instead?

This is just the style all other cards have.
You can look at some of them here: UACs


Rob Farley(Posted 2003) [#4]
updated.


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#5]
Now it's perfect! - Already put your card in. :)


Hopefully more users will show interest in this?
*looks around and waits for some more cards to arrive*

P.S. One card of Mark would be great!! *dreaming*

If you are too lazy or have no time to make your card, I'm sure I can help you out!

Thought the BB community would be a bit larger than that?!? ;)


Ginger Tea(Posted 2003) [#9]
perhaps i should update my card to reflect my political status now ;-)

that or just update my bcoders avatar


ford escort(Posted 2003) [#10]


me drawed


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#11]
@Ford Escort: Cool. One more card.

@Ronny:
Resend your card if you like.
Takes me only a few secs to update it.

Or make a "bloody" card pack? How's that? ;)


coffeedotbean(Posted 2003) [#12]
Ok, best i could do:



Sterling(Posted 2003) [#13]
I hope its not too late..........but anyway here is mine.




Grisu(Posted 2003) [#14]
Cheers you two! It's never to late for a new card!!!

I'm happy to announce these new ones have just made it into BCM:

056. Ford Escort
057. coffeedotbean
058. Sterling
059. cYanide

All contributers are mentioned in the "credits section" as well.

Btw a survey:
Should there be a playable public beta of BCM to raise its interest? Even if features are missing? What do you think?


Henrik(Posted 2003) [#15]



skn3(Posted 2003) [#16]

Ross C(Posted 2003) [#23]
i've emailed mine :D


Not Available(Posted 2003) [#24]
Emailed mine too... the blue screen of death card :) WTF?


_PJ_(Posted 2003) [#25]
Will do mine tonight...

nice idea :)

How do I include images in posts?


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#26]
Cheers for the great support!
I have lot's of new cards in my mailbox... :)

Sadly I was forced to change the name of "BCM" to "Cardwar" for legal reasons and redo most of the design stuff. :(

Stay tuned... all your cards are in the new version!


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#27]
I've been thinking, to create an entire deck out of the characters of the Fairy Tale... Would you accept that, Grisu?

Aside from that I could put my current avatar in a card, but since my avatar is taken from a commercial game (It's Virginia from Wild Arms 3), I don't know if you get trouble with copyrights, or so...

Otherwise I could send in my Marrilona avatar I used before this one... Since Marrilona is my character we can't get in trouble for that ;)


EOF(Posted 2003) [#28]
How do I include images in posts?
Just type out the full URL link to the image.
Or use the IMG tag like so:

{IMG http://www.myhomepage.com/card.png}

Replace the {} with []


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#29]
@Tri:

I'm always happy to have new decks! But I can't promise to put it in the permanent release all time. Cardwar is getting larger... too large (for my modem :( ).

What is planned: You can download extra decks from our homepage. - So at least it will be there! :)

For your card, the non-copyrighted style I would prefer just for safety reasons.... and it's more fun!


Imphenzia(Posted 2003) [#30]

Ok, here is one from me :D The logo is a TM but you can use it for this purpose :)


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#31]
Okay, the card with my old Avatar will be posted here shortly...

The complete Fairy Tale Deck will take a little longer, as the cards are right now being made ;)


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#32]
@imp:
Really nice gfx work imphenzia! I like that style!

@all:
No one here to make a funky card deck like that??

@tri:
If you need more info on the card design, just ask... -> e-mail!
- You can test your cards by overwriting the sample deck.


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#33]


Here you go Grisu...

The rest is on the way... ;)


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#34]
Okey! :D

Had to modify your card a bit cause it was shrinked somehow... but now its all in and looks quite neat!


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#35]
Shrinked?
Could be possible since I been cutting out things out of a big picture, and it was hard to get things completly out right... But thanks ;)


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#36]
Here's a small update on new user cards that made it into 0.4.1:

077. DarkLord
078. Acid2
079. Joker
080. Sir Richo
081. Ed from Mars
082. Syntax Error
083. Imphenzia
084. Tricrokra


oh, yes, you can still send in cards and complete new decks. :)


_PJ_(Posted 2003) [#37]
Here's one:




Foppy(Posted 2003) [#38]
Here's another one: (I've send you an e-mail)




Grisu(Posted 2003) [#39]
085. Malice
086. Foppy

Uploaded Cardwar 0.4.2.
This version now supports saving and loading of (unfinished) games!


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#40]
This version now supports saving and loading of (unfinished) games!


HEY! That's useful!
Oh my fairy tale cards are still in production...
The first beta demo of the game is ready, Grisu... (I only need to find a way to upload it)

Okay, back to the original topic, since I don't want to hijack somebody else's thread!


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#41]
Oh, and is it just me or are all feature names in the main menu wrong named... Edit profile is disabled, best players brings me to the card gallery, the log off brings me to the credits, the credits take me to the configuration screen, and so on...

Did I do something wrong?


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#42]
Sorry Tri, I think I messed up the texts while inserting the new resume button... :(

Please try 0.4.3 and tell me if it now works for you.

Thanks!


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#43]
Eh... No... Buttons still messed up... Sorry...


darklordz(Posted 2003) [#44]
Grisu, I hope im not toooo late?




Grisu(Posted 2003) [#45]
@DL: No, you are not.

It will take some months/years to get cardwar all features I have on my worklist...

Somehow... I know this girl from somewhere?
But aren't men saying this to all women?!? ;)

@All: yes, please send in more cards! :)

@Mark: If you read ever this: a card of you would be great!

@Tri:
Make sure your cardwar.exe is dated to 24.06. - 19:28h, please check...

The button disabled is the "resume game" button.
It is red when there is no game in progress, that has been saved.


Tricky(Posted 2003) [#46]
I'll test things out again, Grisu...


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#47]
Finally we reached 90 cards:
087. Darklordz
088. Johnny
089. Popey

Will prepare a new release 0.4.4 with a rewritten filesystem, better manual and more.... so check the cw site the next days...

Will we reach 100 cards? It's up to you!!! :)


Simian(Posted 2003) [#48]
Here's another for your collection, provided I've posted the image properly...




semar(Posted 2003) [#49]
@Grisu,

Sergio.


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#50]
These two cards among one or two new decks! will be in 0.4.5+

90. Simian
91. Psionic

Thanks for taking time to make one.

@Sergio:
Got your mail. Mile gracie (hopes his italian is correct)

*waits for some new cards to arrive*


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#51]
Andreas Sauer has sent me a "Flower" Cadset.

Grab it at the cw download page and tell me if you like it!:)


Angus(Posted 2003) [#52]


Is this OK?


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#53]
Image and name is ok angus. But please add some text at the card bottom, else it's too empty.... :)


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#54]
092. Angus
093. Rickman

The next release of Cardwar will be made with the power of B+, also new card decks are on their way. On top of that we have an online voting system to find the best card decks.


dapsycho(Posted 2003) [#55]
Is there still time...

I really should visit here a little more often!




Grisu(Posted 2003) [#56]
@dapsycho:
Thanks for the card will update the bc deck file asap.
It's never too late! :)

094. Keyboard
095. dapsycho

Grisu(Posted 2003) [#57]
096. Soli

098. Pongo

Yes, I'm still working on this! :)


Klapster(Posted 2003) [#58]

Grisu(Posted 2003) [#59]
Nice job Klapster... seems like the brain of Homer S. from S. ;)

099. Toubou
100. Klapster


Klapster(Posted 2003) [#60]

Ooooh I'm the 100th, that was nicely timed!


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#61]

Grisu(Posted 2003) [#62]
102. Bolo Loco
103. Thox
104. Angel


darklordz(Posted 2003) [#63]

Grisu(Posted 2003) [#64]
You are not! If you download cw, you'll see:
Your card is in. No. 087 on my tiny long list. :)

@All:
I still search for new decks. You can promote your game with such e.g...

Any help is welcome!


jhocking(Posted 2003) [#65]
How's this?




Grisu(Posted 2003) [#66]
Quite ok. :)

Thanks!


Mark Tiffany(Posted 2003) [#67]
Here you go - have a laugh at a lame 8 colour piccie of me...

[img http:\\myweb.tiscali.co.uk\mark.tiffany\Blitz\cw_bccard.png]


Grisu(Posted 2003) [#68]
Lame? I have seen much worse cards than this!!! :o)

104. EvilToylet
105. Angel
106. SgtBilko
107. Anybody_UK


Keep them coming please.

P.S.: Will create a new topic Part2 soon, cause this one gets to big for my modem... :(


Grisu(Posted 2004) [#69]
Ok, I'm on broadband now.
So I don't care for long threads no more... :D

The Cardwarstory continues...

108. Squigy
109. JGoat
110. Shadow Turtle
111. Dogerz
112. EizDealer

Above there are the latest user cards that were sent in.

The more cards / decks, the better!

Any new users that would like to participate in this? :o)


Ross C(Posted 2004) [#70]
I've changed my nickname from Joker to RossC. Can i do another card? :)


Grisu(Posted 2004) [#71]
I can replace your existing card....
Normally, I don't do this. But only because your nickname has changed.

Send it to me and I'll put it into the next releases.

But what I REALLY need are new decks & cards :)

*pust leaflets everywhere*


Ross C(Posted 2004) [#72]
How many cards in a pack?


Grisu(Posted 2004) [#73]
At least 49 Backs and 1 Front.

Each card 64x91 Pixel (real tiny, which makes it difficult)
But you can choose your own desgin... as long as the transparency color stays 255,0,255.

Visit the website to download / view all decks already in.


Ross C(Posted 2004) [#74]
Cool, i might do a pack in my spare time then :)


Grisu(Posted 2004) [#75]
That would be great!

But plz, when u start painting, send me in one or two sample cards via e-mail. So I can test them!

All cards are in two horizontal image strips. One for the Fronts and one for the Backs. PNG as image format would be wise.... :)

Each contributor will be given full credit!


Tri|Ga|De(Posted 2004) [#76]
Hi

I just mailed you my card!


Ross C(Posted 2004) [#77]
Hey man, is that 49 different cards? Or 24 different *2 =48?


Grisu(Posted 2004) [#78]
Really 49 different card fronts are needed!

On the hardest difficulty level i.e. 6, there are 49*2 = 98 (classic mode) cards on screen... So I need that much! :)

Under Question 2 in the manual under "FAQ" there is explained how to create a deck. You can also mess around with the sample deck that comes with the CWDB (CW Deck Builder).

If there are any questions left, just e-mail me.
