RE: Userbar Competition by Rik on 12-22-2005 at 11:43 PM

hey Supersonicdarky! could you make stats for the votes.

RE: Userbar Competition by Supersonicdarky on 12-23-2005 at 12:45 AM

RE: Userbar Competition by Chris4 on 12-23-2005 at 12:59 AM

Made one :D A bit different but I like it :D

[Image: attachment.php?pid=581479]

RE: Userbar Competition by zach on 12-23-2005 at 01:02 AM

I am making one now. You know that shine, well I know there is another way of doing it apart from filling it with white. Instead, you fill it with a gradient I think. I thought it looked a little better.
Edit: My userbar is now on page 3

RE: Userbar Competition by Supersonicdarky on 12-23-2005 at 01:03 AM

i always use the gradient...

i never even thought of filling it with plain white :undecided:

RE: Userbar Competition by zach on 12-23-2005 at 04:56 AM

Here is my Zone Alarm userbar. I want to make the ZA icon animate like it does but that will take a little longer.
[Image: userbarza6fz.png]

Edit: My signature has the animated Zone Alarm userbar ;) It's quite big because I didn't know how to use one image as the background and just have the ZA icon animated.

RE: Userbar Competition by crank on 12-23-2005 at 10:54 AM

My shot at this, i couldn't find the avedesk logo in any good format so i kinda cheated using a grayscale one and colorizing it to the right color ;P

[Image: avedeskuserbar9rc.gif]

i still can't believe i used gif format, i like png too much.

RE: Userbar Competition by Underlord on 12-23-2005 at 01:29 PM

Make a date for all submissions to be in by, then do a poll. One cannot vote when people keep adding more userbars.

RE: Userbar Competition by Cee-estee on 12-23-2005 at 02:45 PM

RE: Userbar Competition by John Anderton on 12-23-2005 at 03:48 PM

Can someone link me to the font that mike is using (that is there on almost every one of the userbars on ddunks page)

I'll think about it, but i think you can't have more than 10 options...

i guess i'll have to make a separate page to fit all the options


Trax, the dimensions of your userbar are wrong, its 350x19 not 450x21
RE: Userbar Competition by Chris4 on 12-23-2005 at 04:12 PM

I think we need to stop the voting and wait until all entries are in, otherwise it's not fair..

Update tha page/clear the cache if you still see the Wi-Fi userbar.

RE: Userbar Competition by CookieRevised on 12-25-2005 at 02:45 AM

Tbh, it's very childish to abuse something like this. Why must such stuff always result in stupid spam and abuse and what not?

It says more about those who abused it than it says about the skills of who programmed it... djeezus...

Instead of being "funny" why not help him make it better instead?

Make a poll on here, because you can only vote once.
Hmm.. but then people can make new accounts :| But I guess you'd have to make a lot of accounts to alter it significantly; plus admins/moderators can probely look up IP addresses :P

I think the main reason he didn't put the poll on the forums was because you can't put X amount of images in one post. So why not make 1 big image:

[Image: 11pu.th.png]

Hope that helps...

I couldn't agree more. It's annoying when some people point out the faults but don't help to make it better. It's a matter of respect...

Just disqualify the abusers :dodgy:
Ffs .... why the hell do you want to cheat here :-/

Ok you are a better programmer than he is .... big deal .... he is trying to do something good here ... why do you want to abuse the system :-/

BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-20-2006 at 11:51 AM

I'm not an experienced Photoshop user, but I just been having a mess, and this was what I made. Thought I would share it, please give me feed back, what could be better etc. Thanks

[Image: attachment.php?pid=592715]


Oh looksey I got a new star, I'm now a senior member, Yay Me!!!

RE: BF2 userbar by Supersonicdarky on 01-20-2006 at 12:07 PM

logo: good
image (helicopter): too small. Try enlarging it even if it gets cut off
text: too blurry, try using other font and adding a black 1px border on the outside
other: try adding the lines in the back, userbars look much better with them

overall: 6/10

RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-20-2006 at 02:59 PM

Ok here is the latest one

1. Changed the text
2. Added a soldier (looked empty before hand I thought)
3. Tilted the helicopter and enlarged it
4. Added a border

6/10 more than I expected for my first attempt, Thanx

[Image: attachment.php?pid=592756]

RE: BF2 userbar by Negro_Joe on 01-20-2006 at 06:16 PM

the Battle field 2 logo looks a bit squashed you should enlarge it...

RE: BF2 userbar by Supersonicdarky on 01-20-2006 at 09:35 PM

what a 9-10/10 userbar is in my view

[Image: bf2.png]

RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-21-2006 at 08:47 AM

meh, your's is better Super. I'd use yours before mine lol. good work.

I'll keep at it.

I think I put the shiney effect on at the wrong time, I should have put it on after the images where grouped, then it would have looked better. how do you put the lines in, I couldn't work that out. I'm pure photoshop NooB

[update]
ok, did the lines pixel by pixel (all laugh now)

and here is my all new user bar.

[Image: attachment.php?pid=592942]

It's like yours Super I know, but mine has a different plane. I made it similar so I could compare.

The only thing I can see that might be wrong on mine now, is there may be a bit to much shine affect

RE: BF2 userbar by zach on 01-21-2006 at 09:01 AM

I have a template I use to make my userbars. If you want it, I can send it to you ;)

Edit: I have uploaded my userbar template here. To see the ones I have made with that template, click here.

Nice, now make a Battlefield 2: Special Forces player :P
I would make one, but i dont have the logo, and im too lazy to find it... :P

RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-21-2006 at 01:36 PM

I made two, one just a standard glass effect, and the other sort of a dusty desert effect, both the same images, just a different gradient.

Hope you like em.

And then of course the special forces one. Which is in my post above.

Definate thanx goes to SSD, and the advice he gave me, and the example he posted, gave me something to go by. Thanks

Oh yeah, Zach gave me an ace template, cheers Zach.
Adobe says I'm missing the font that you used in it, dnt spose you might have it? it comes up alright until I select it then photoshop says I'm missing it, then it changes and doesnt look as good.

Just install the font and you'll be ok. If you are referring to the font which is used to write the main text in userbars (like "battlefield 2 player") then i have it :) I could send it to you if you are in a hurry :P
RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-24-2006 at 11:24 PM

Im not in a hurry, but if you sent it to me, it would make things alot easier lol. thanx

RE: BF2 userbar by zach on 01-24-2006 at 11:39 PM

Just use the font you use to write yours. So select the font and pick the one you use. I was using Visitor -BRK-... Get the font here. Just install Visitor.fon, the two other TrueType ones aren't good.

RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-25-2006 at 03:51 PM

That did it zach, thanks dude

RE: BF2 userbar by Supersonicdarky on 01-25-2006 at 06:06 PM

just some advice for later: make the userbar shininess rounded or something (looks more pro):

[Image: specialforcesdust.png] Not Round

[Image: bf2.png] round

and put the text on top of the shinyness (makes it more defined):

[Image: specialforcesdust.png] below

I was gonna re-colour the text, but on a personal preference, I actually liked the way it looked (personally)

it took me an half an hour to make good userbars. I dunno why it takes so long for sum ppl. (maybe its cuz i started photoshopping when i was 12 8-))
RE: BF2 userbar by Mentality on 01-25-2006 at 10:54 PM

That's got to be it, I'm only just gettin to using it so it's taking me some time working out what does what an all that. But I think I'm moving along quiet quickly!

I make my userbars in like 5 minutes :p When I first started using photoshop I got so annoyed with it, but now I don't have as many problems.
I think my favourite userbar that I have made would have to be this one:
[Image: lavaed.gif] It looks a bit strange around the font because I moved it...
And @ Supersonicdarky, ohk It took me hours to make my first one because it was my first time and it was animated.
