Topic: terra's things

I'll use this thread to share the little things I'll do. I'll be starting with a suggestion for the site. :)

Hey guys, never thought of using a background texture to fill the empty space on each side of the site's main layout, so it feels less... empty?

I made 4 of them that you could check out if you'd like, and if you want to see how it would look like spread on a column, I've placed them in a .htm page for display.

Here is the link to the display page :

Admins, people, please tell me what you think. If any is good enough for the site, feel free to use it.

Enjoy! :)

so your saying that you could like, put a backgroung on the site? Cool, sounds interesting.   :D

Here is an example of what I mean :

Look at the texture at the left. That's what I am suggesting here. :)

It's really nice! If onle admin agrees to do such a thing! I think that your textures can make this site not so empty, indeed, it's a good idea!!! :)

That is very nice terra, but maybe more colour would be good,lol :) and maybe patterns aswell. But other than that.... very good! I like it!  :D

k, maybe later we could talk in the chat room , I'm quite bored. So sorry for spamming. * back on topic *
Did you make the backgrounds on your PC? If so, even though their not coloured, well done! :)

Lack of color is really bugging you, huh?? Ok let me add two colored versions just for you.

Here's the link for a display page for the 2 colored ones:

But to be honest, I'm really not sure if they'd work as well as the others for the site. :/

Thanks, Terra. Maybe we could have a thread soon about voting for backgrounds, if Aaron approves and possibly says its ok.  :)

They are cool. What format did you make them on? And what do you mean " leave them some time to see this "?

Give the Admin/Moderators time to find this topic.

Pretty cool background thingies :D

ok, Aaron will come on here and try to sort out , hopefully, which backgroung terra has made for the BFFC.  :)

Okay, i meant that. lol. Nice backgrounds terra. How did you make them?

Photoshop=FUN! wish i had it....

Lol, sorry, i forgot. :)

Is photoshop where you can download pics from? :O just curious.

Yeah, i would just doodle, and costomize avatars :D

Photoshop does sound very cool, very. :)

Nice borders, terra!  Would be great to add a little spice to the site's display   :)

Well if the Admin gives the option to use them i like BW012 (the second one from the right)

I think Aaron had thought about putting the Sarlacc as a watermark in the background. But I'm not sure if or when he's gonna do it...

terra has done two coloured versions for me, ( see post#9 )   thanks terra. And nice non-coloured backgrounds aswell, lol :D

I dont think they would either, i like the noncolor ones :D

I like both of them the same. The coloured ones are good but the noncolour ones are a tiny bit better,lol :)

Thanks a lot guys, for your interest in my creations. Your appreciation is really encouraging.

:)

No problem. After all your backgrounds are very good for a starter. lol :)

No. lol But are you a sort of , how will i put this...... a padawan learner for creativity. I am good at art. I am going to hopefully be a cartoon artist....... :)

Yeah, Britain, lol. I hope.......

You live in Britain??  Wow; some beautiful country out there.

I live in the desert near where they shot the scense for the Sarlacc in Ep. VI; or at least for some of the reshoots they did for the re-release.  Not sure if the original shots were done here or not; but they probably were

do you mean that , or are you just kidding?  ;)

So, lol, you do live in the tatooine desert where they shot return of the jedi? lol ;)

so they filmed rotj jabbas skiff fight in a common desert?

They didn't go to another planet, it that's what you thought   :P   But yeah; I live just on the other side of the border where they shot all that in the California sand dunes. 

If you've seen a movie with endless stretches of sand and desert, especially if it's an American movie, it was probably shot there.   Though some go to Africa and do it for real there in the Sahara  (I think the scenes of Luke's home were shot in Sudan someplace. . . . not sure)

Cool very cool. Thank you for telling me all this information, Ralin. I shall put your rep/karma up, Thanx! :D

Wow, many thanks, Green

Lol, no problem. Your a true friend Ralin.  I just thought that info was very interesting. I mean an actuall desert for the skiff fight, lol, i love it! thank you. continue sending great info and .....up goes your rep/karma :D :)

Ok, upload #2 !  More free goodies from your new fellow creator Terra. ;)

Cursors this time. I had made them for my sweetie (sir Drakus up here) but he said I could share them with you too, so here they are.

First, this is a simple 2-colors (black and white) cursor with the shape of the Mando Skull. Because of the direction the mouse arrow has to be, I had to rotate the symbol. I've put it on a striped background so you can plainly see that the area around the cursor itself is completely transparent. Click on the link below the picture to download the zipped cursor of the Skull.

Got 3 more little cursors for you, simple arrows in the colors of Boba.

A Dark static arrow, a Dark Animated arrow, and a Green static arrow. The Dark Animated cursor is very similar to the static Dark one, but it has a part that will flash from black to grey. The area around the cursor is completely transparent too, as you can see on the pictures.

Nothing too fancy, I wanted to keep the files small, so the cursors won't lag your PC when you use them. I hope you like.

Enjoy! :)

Downloading the Skull :D very very nice :)

Do I need a download to open it? if so what?

What version of Windows do you have? There's usually a tool that comes with Windows that allow you to extract ZIP files. Once extracted, you need to place the cursors in your Cursors folder. That's in

c:\WINDOWS\Cursors\

If you don't have any tool to extract Zip files, you can try to find WinZip on the web, or if you want, I could send you an old version of it via email.

I also joined .GIF files in the zips, simple pictures to remind you what you downloaded exactly. The cursors are the .ANI and .CUR files, that's what you need to put in your Cursors folder.

I have Vista, I unzipped it, but it said I needed a program to open it or something

Nope, you dont need anything, and you don't need to open them. But you have to place them where I told you in post #52

Then, if you want to use your new cursors, you can set your mouse tools in the Setting Panel

Wow terra!!! Good Job!!!! These cursors are awesome!!!!  I got the mando skull one!!!

Thanks a lot, you're really cool.

Now, if you need help installing them, just read posts #52 and #54 of this thread.

All for you, cloneapart, I hope you like. :)

Hey, Cloneapart....if I cant find the Obi-Av, would you mind if I used one of those? :D  (that you dont use that is)
