Sqaud Insignia

[Kazaa]

There are plenty of videos on YouTube which can learn some very simple yet effective techniques. I suggest you start there.

As long as you keep having fun everything will fall into place in time.

Glzz when you save the nose art save it as a BMP 17 color and you can resize it to the 176 X 176 ..

 Isn't the nose art supposed to be saved as a 8Bit?

I don't like you because you come across as one of many who in my opinion has destroyed the soul of this game(and those like it) from what I remember of it many years ago.  I don't think you do it maliciously, and I don't fault you, but I can't help from not liking you.  Plus you misspelled squad.

What has he done that has destroyed the soul of this game? From what I can see, he and his squad don't take themselves seriously and bring some levity to the game. What is so wrong with that?

Glz, let me know when you're satisfied with it and I'll gimp it up again for you.

Since this thing is only going to be seen in-game as an itty-bitty blob on the nose, I'd consider doing away with the shield and just presenting the skull.

That's actually a very good idea...

and change the font

Working on just the skull.  Gonna have, "get sloppy" on the beret I think or maybe just "Sloppy"

Here is a pretty good tutorial to make and add a nose art.

The link to bright is dead, and my main issue has always been keeping the RGB value at 176 x3 when converting it to the bitmap

Or just "SS"... or is it too soon for that?  Hehehe.  Just don't use that naziform runic font and the Thought Police wont getcha.

I don't know how your software does it, but in gimp you would go to image>indexed to 256 colors. Then you can convert it to bmp, then you will have to go to windows>dockable dialogs>colormap. Then you can use the color picker to highlight the background color in the colormap, then hit edit this color on the bottom left. Set it and that's the color fixed for you.

Btw, there's another thing called interpolation that keeps the picture looking real nice even after sizing it down a ton, this is my "special resizing technique". The hitch is that it will change the color values, including the background, so you have to resize the background as a separate layer without interpolation, and the rest with it.

My advice is to do the art by itself with no background, that is paste the art into a transparent layer, then create a separate one under that and dump it with the gray color, then resize.

  Glzz just have fun with it like you squad does. There is a lot of things I like about your squad and I know  you will come up with a good image. 
  After reading this thread I cannot believe anyone can be so disrespectful and arrogant as this BUG guy was. Unbelievable how cruel people can be.

<S> Delriuim, JOACH1M, MIKEV Kazaa  anyone else I might have missed. ESPCIALLY BUG

Or just "SS"... or is it too soon for that?  Hehehe.  Just don't use that naziform runic font and the Thought Police wont getcha.

, Mabye I'll do something like that when we get a Luftweiny wing

Thanks for all your help everyone, its much appreciated.


Soo Heres where I'm at now

It is your insignia and you asked for opinions.

I don't like you because you come across as one of many who in my opinion has destroyed the soul of this game(and those like it) from what I remember of it many years ago.  I don't think you do it maliciously, and I don't fault you, but I can't help from not liking you.  Plus you misspelled squad.

Sounds like someone needs to come get owned more in the MA lmao.

What is this dude even talking about??


BTW... I think the squad logo is cool, and would be especially sweet as a nose art. I like the sheild, but with or without it is cool to me.

It kind of  reminds me of the off famous Kony that people use to chant against. Or some kind of African (I take over world) tribe's symbol .
