Well.. as it stands, we have four:
IBP Default
Caliskin
Hardwired
BoHeGeHa
Would you like another?
Right now, I have downloaded:
Aquatic eXperience
ONi Style
But I am open to others (make sure they are either IBP 1.2 or 1.3).
-

-

Sure.. but who's doing the graphics?
-
whoevea wants 2 try needs a copy of the jpg templates for a skin.
or a skin and edit that.
post a skin or template so people can have a go.
-
*maybe* i'd do it... but i'm so bogged down with stuff to do, I can't currently.
-
i'm free to do it, but i don't ahve a clue how i would lol.
-
You need a .tar compressor. This is required for any skin making.
-
winrar does tar
i imagin the image files just go in the tar files with name like side1
give us a template or a skin so we can have a look.
-
Ok: This is the default skin:
http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/archive_out/set-IPB_Skin_Set_1.2.tar (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/archive_out/set-IPB_Skin_Set_1.2.tar)
-
I have the op2 themes still i just have to rememberwhere exactly i put the files, its still on my petium75 harddrive, but i put it on a floppy, where did i put them :huh: ?
-
should it be a regular uncompressed tar? or will it work if we Gzip the file? (.tar.gz)
OP2 themes: Kevin might have them at his site:
http://op.virtualave.net/ (http://op.virtualave.net/)
-
You may be able to GZIP it. I think the forum uses GZIP compressiom, but I am unsure as to if it'll work.
-
I don't care for the current ones.
-
Then browse http://www.ibplanet.com (http://www.ibplanet.com) for one you like! It has to be either a 1.2 or a 1.3 compatable skin, however.
-
the redalert one is interesting
http://skins.ibplanet.com/index.php?act=ca...start=0&show=20 (http://skins.ibplanet.com/index.php?act=cat&id=15&start=0&show=20)
-
Okay.. but I have to warn you that it will be a while before you can use it. I have to edit the files for the IBShout, IBStore, and IBReferral stuff.
-
Yes. Red Alert is now a working skin. (posting for xfir)
-
Is it possible to make your own skins?
-
yes, it is posible for u to do anything with that sort of graphics, or where would they all come from?
-
did this red alert skin just get put up yesterday?
-
take a look at it.
"I see a red door and I want it painted black..."
-
Is it possible to make your own skins?
Yes.. see the posts above for the Default skin TAR..
I may have to update that though, because of the fact that the IBStore, IBShout, and IBReferral kind of changed the files.
-
Hey x, is it every skin or just this one that doesn't show credits?
-
Show credits in the topic view?
I guess I have forgotten to edit the skin_topic.php and skin_profile.php
I'll do that tomarrow, as I have plans tonight.
-
okay, thanks x
-
Please inform me of any other skins/mods you'd like.
Remember, your input is important!
-
I'm currently working on some Outpost2 lettering for my website but I can send them into xfir for an Outpost2 skin design
Just tell my what format you want the graphics file to be and i'll make it that.
-
Well, I suppose if you could, could you send it as a .psp? If not, then a .jpg or .gif will work (preferably the Jpeg, as the gif will lose a lot of color)
-
Judging by your graphics I would say that you would have Paint shop Pro 7
I've got Paint shop Pro 8, so I would gladly save the files as a .psp,
also each letter has its own vector so it would be easier to use them.
-
Hey Xfir how about replacing the current banner with the one I made for you!

Okay... a couple minor things..
First of all, the logo above is transparent. The background I could change, but doing so is annoying.
Note also that the image is a gif. If you could possibly make the .psp file layered, with the text on top, that would be great.
Other than that, it looks pretty good.. I am unsure whether I like your new icon or not, however. But I don't use the default skin, so I guess it is more or less up to the community.

Kiith has invaded our forum! Grab the torches and pickforks!
-
Kiith runs into a cave away for angry mob,
Comes out with the entire United States Military.
lol...
-
*little does kiith know that Plymoth is in his sovergeign class starship just waiting to open fire.*
-
*As Plymoth45 opens fire on Kiith Somtaaw, the all might Hiigaran Space Fleet arrive out of hyperspace to aid him in his unfortunate encounter, after the battle Plymoth’s Starship is heavily damaged and slowly returns to Earth only on impulse engines, while the Hiigaran Fleet return to there Homeworld victorious and unscarred.
-
Little does Kiith and Plymoth know I will probably delete their posts unless they return to the topic!
-
Wow, Not much was said for over a month here!
Also Will there be New Skins at the new Host?
-

A couple things you should know:
- There will not be any changes to any files during the move
- The site will remain exactly the same, with the exception that it will be on a different server
- At the moment, people do not use all the skins. Most people still use the default
There will be new skins only if I decide to add them after I get everything working. Even then, it may not happen.
-
EXcuse my lanuage but the D_A_MN hard drive that was on my p 75 had themes and skins in it and im pretty sure it had a lot more usefull stuff but this hd is going to get its @$$ kicked if i don't get to those files. I dont remember but i had practaclly everything that was on the net at the time op2 was up and on won, and im not sure if i might actually have a map editor that was created from a members i knew on won...... :find:
i am this close to sending the hd back to the company
-
I could do an OP2 skin. With PNG's and not JPEG's. ;) I could make the bottom of the page appear as New Terran landscape, and the rest is the sky. Just give me a landscape and a sky image.
-
Kiith Says
"Doooo It"
:lol:
-
The easiest landscape to do would be the view of the colony while the RLV is launched in the Starship colony game cutscenes. I can't take screenshots of parts of videos for some reason, so someone needs to take one for me.
Or, if someone could make a custom landscape in a program like Brice, that'd be even better.
--
Ok, maybe that will be a little harder, considering the rocket fire and the AA'ing...
I'm modifying one of the art things in the mission brefings.
--
The skin is for this board.
Hmm, your post magically appeared in front of mine...? Or did I edit instead of post?
--xfir says, "Edit button = good, yes?"
--Arklon responds, "Kiith likes to delete and repost his replies in front of mine a lot. Or, occasionally, just delete."
-
A Landscape what ever for.
Are you making a skin for forum or something else?
If you want some Pictures go here.

-
Why do you keep reposting your reply in front of mine? I don't need those screenshots now... due to the rocket engine fire and the AA'ing on those pictures. The skin is for the board.
Anyway, as for changing parts of a mission briefing image, here is what I have right now: (Takes work getting rid of the background and the text...)
(http://luigi.wootest.net/misc/op2skin_bottom-img.gif)
It's not meant to fill the entire bottom of the page. Just the lower left corner. The sky will be done later, which will cover the bottom.
-
For me, it works perfectly fine.
And resizing often causes distortions or pixelation in images... and anti-aliasing it will make it look odd as well.
Edit 1: Ok, go here (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=757&st=0&) for that image if you can't see it.
Edit 2: Damn it, Kiith, stop deleting your posts.
Edit 3: Here is how it looks enlarged: blah (http://luigi.wootest.net/misc/op2skin_bottom-img-enlarged.gif)
-
Replying to your post...
1: I see the Image.
2: OK!
3: Your Link is Busted!
-
Or wootest.net doesn't like you.
I didn't attatch the image in that thread because it stretched the page. Besides, it looks bad. The normal sized version of it would look better.
-
I'm double posting so that people see that there's a new post here.
I'm almost done with the skin, I just need to make the buttons. Unfortunately, there's a lot of button images...
-
Well done! The skin really looks .. not great, but it's quite good.
-
The Skin is only for Guests,
Or your can have it, by changing skin in your controls.
:)
-
If you haven't set your skin to something already, that is.
I fixed more things in the CSS and the templates, but xfir still has to move those over here.
-
Um, Kiith, if you keep deleting and reposting your posts one or more of the following may happen:
- You could lose points.
- You could be warned.
- You could be banned.
- You could lose the privilege of being able to delete your own posts.
So don't do that. a forum does not work that way.
-
I haven't done that in a long while.
and X has already told me about that.
