It's been a while since I told you I was working on KSMAS for mySQL. I must say that it's finished in its core (the image handling and showing) and th things that have to be done are porting the settings system, the admin cp and tools  and an overall securing against malicios people out there.
Private beta testing should start in less then a month and I could be releasing a working version (still gotta think up) of it.

The problem is that I plan to add more features that go beyond the random avatar feature. Like dynamic avatar/sig combination. Putting some text to the avatar/sig dynamically... etc.
This means that KeyStorm Multi-Avatar Script is no longer a valid name (although I never really liked it very much, tbh).

Some alternatives emerged and I'd like to know what you think of 'em. Roentgenium and Chameleon seem to be reasonable alternatives.. You may also post your suggestion, anyway.

Thanks.

PS: No screenshots available yet, I still have got to redesign it with the new name and logo in mind. But you know there won't be many new features, apart from a new (indeed it had to be changed) installation script.

Great! Keep up the good work....

hehehe....

Chameleon Board Companion (CBC v4.20 )

I vote for "Chameleon Board Companion", but, only Chameleon would be nice!

I'd say just stick with your (nick)name.
It sounds more original.

Besides, most people know KSMAS.
Roentgenium and Chameleon sound irrelevant to your program and inauthentic.
Too many things are named Chameleon afaik.
And for "Roentgenium," people can make mistake in writing the word.

As i told you in the Spanish forums

Chameleon Image Tools seems to be a nice name, no more "only avatar"

Chameleon is somehow related with the existent feature of changing the avatar by itself, also it would be great for design (look at SuSE's chameleon, for example).

Dunno, I wanted to stop using my nickname in the program title...

Out of those, definitely Chameleon Board Companion.

I have to agree with everyone else Chameleon Board Companion sounds really cool.

ImageStorm?

i like the Kit word into the name, and at first, KeyStorm Board Kit (KBK or KSBK) sounded nice, but I think that Chamaleon Board Kit is better: CBK.

BoardStorm Kit or ForumStorm Kit also sound nice

I like having storm in it,  1. gives credit where it's due, 2. storm like a hurricane, unpredictdable

Avatar Randomizer

Roentgenium Avatar Tools
and
Roentgenium Board Kit

Reminds me of sock because the name looks like "Rotem"., and you don't want to associate sock with a program like that, do you? <3 sock.

Chameleon Image Tools sounds the best to me.

Well, sorry for the double-post, but I think the result is rather clear. Here and on the spanish board, the winner is Chameleon Board Companion, it was also my favourite, so I think I'll go ahead with it.

Now it's time for the new logo.
Please critisize it and suggest anything you think would improve it:




Thanks again!

The second one looks nice.

Agreed, the second one!

The second one with the offset chameleon looks superb. Might I ask what font you used for the writing?

I like the font! well done KS, but.... the chameleon? well.. the first one looks better for me, but maybe you should try to paint it a little bit!

I don't like just the stroke.. well just my opinion.

Edit: Well this is my suggestion
The color should be random!

hm... I was thinking about something like that... But I wasn't sure

About the font... This is plainly Century Gothic, so no weird downloaded things.

I like Cameleon Board Companion. Although I think the unofficial name should still be KSMAS. Purely for nostalgic reasons.

I really like the logo, I think that a cool thing would be to have the offset chameleon change colours. THAT would be cool, because then it simulates a real chameleon.

Sounds like KSMAS is going to be an even bigger sucess than before! Good luck!

Yeah, I'll still be calling it unofficially KSMAS for a while, so don't worry

My favourite name is other lol... I think that it should be something like keystorm randomator or something the other ones are too long and stuff...

The green one leito made looks cool to me
About random colours, don't do that..ppl will recognize it if it's one colour...they will go: "you know the one with the green chameleon"

I've learned to dislike my name in a program name.  Sure you can call it KeyStorm's Chameleon, but that won't be the same as having the name included. And by the was, KSMAS/Chameleon is planned to go beyond avatar randomisation, so that wouldn't be right anymore.

I think I prefer the ones leito made. They do look really cool.

That's not that much of marketing. I want to have a nice logo and a nice design, it will help people to get used to it. The logo will not become an "internet symbol" anyway, so there's not much to worry about .

Anyway, for other graphics like buttons or watermarks I'd use the green one. Leito, could you send me an alpha blended PNG version of that? Or maybe I should vectorise it...

i like this logo:


also i think that the random colors (of the chameleon) would be a good idea.

Here's my crappy attepmt at a logo for you :

.

Chameleon Board Companion sounds great

also leito.gts chameleons are cool

i like the one leito made:


......the green one looks best i wud say.

i recon Keystorm would be better than chameloen oh w.e. jus like the sound of it more..

Keystorm I'll send the vectorized chameleon (PNG's).

aye, thanks leito!

Btw, Carltos, nice logo, but it doesn't match with the name (I mean the chameleon and that crap).

Anyway, I'm still unsure about which one of those three designs I should pick, I dis/like them the same, somehow. Hard decision, tbh.

Heres my try eheh kinda fast so nothing good to expect.

I think

is my favourite

It's more sort of simple and clean.

Forgot to say...

keystorm - when the script is done, i would be more than willing to host a modified version of chameleon that gives free sig/avatar hosting automatically.

Yeah, right, saralk, that is one of the improvements that will be following the first stable release of KSMAS, where the registration has to be done manually by the amdin. However, if the system to add users proves to be serious and safe, it can be enabled for multiple other ways of registering (user-side registration, email confirmation, moderated registration, etc.).  However first I'd like to have it working as before, if you want, you can participate in the development in the future.

Keystorm it sounds great , as usual i'd love to be a beta tester Hopefully this time it will work on the mutiple servers i was using ! Definitly an improvement from the first version! sounds very professional

i like keystorm board kit...but just me and looks like not really anyone agrees with me

id be happy to do some testing for you as well

I can also host it for people  =)

Any updates keystorm?

awesome! Few questions :

Which logo did you choose?
Will it have the option for people to sign up by themselves?
What other features will it have?

What about... visiting http://chameleon.keystorm.net/community ?

And no logo met the spec yet

So text logo for the dev time, at least. Actually the alpha version will have a reather ugly interface, sinc I'm more worried about the coding than about the templating. But it will be good to have people interested in skinning.
