Been working on a texture off and on for a while, and it's finally done.
It's not released yet. I still have to take preview pictures, package it up etc. for the download, but I'll probably do that tonight (EST) or tomorrow, so you can expect it it then. Hope you like it. =) Post Merge: July 11, 2014, 09:32:39 PMReleased.
Hiya! What's up, everyone? =) This post may more or less end up being me rambling (though it's not exactly the intent).
Believe it or not, I actually haven't died yet. I know it's been quite a while. Anyway, I'm hoping to start doing this again a little for a little bit. I don't really want to "officially" announce a return, and possibly not be able to follow up completely, but yeah, that's the plan in mind. Ideally, I would love to, but I really can't guarantee anything, and I'm almost certain I wouldn't be able to produce as many textures as I used to. Or, at least not as quickly anyway. I would like to make a couple new textures at least.
I was on the vault/forums a couple of days ago, and I must say, a lot of you guys have done some quite impressive stuff while I was away. Like, even some people I'd never even heard of have absolutely been killing it as well. I hope everyone keeps it up. I see the vault itself also got a spiffy new look (well, "new" since I've seen it). Noice.
Unfortunately though, I noticed on the vault, most of my preview pictures got straight up murdered. lol Idk, is that a thing that's been happening now? Because I actually saw a good amount of other people's hacks that got their previews wrecked. I was surprised hardly any of the hacks with all broken previews weren't being reported, which is why I refrained from doing it myself. Wasn't sure if there was some common knowledge about the vault I just wasn't in on, haha. But anyway, in fixing my previews, I kinda decided to take the opportunity to [at least attempt to] step my presentation game up a little. Been working on it the last couple of days, and I just finished today. You can find the entire makeover in the OP and in my vault, so I'll only post a few samples here.
Speaking of noticing... I actually noticed something pretty embarrassing. Um... before I went on my hiatus, I made the Pokemon Trainer texture hack with the intent to upload it as one of my last hacks for a while. I even finished it and everything. But as it turns out... I... never actually released it. Yeah.. aren't I simply the greatest? -_- I still can't believe I did that. lol But oh well. I'll look for that hack on my computer and upload it once I find it. That one should be up relatively soon, for anyone interested. So for anyone that may have been looking forward to that at the time (if you happen to be reading this), I do apologize. Not sure how I blew that one.
I'm not sure if or when I'll be updating for a newer version of Brawlbox. It's been quite a while and I would have to get back into the swing of things. I'm not sure if I'd even be able to actually help out nowadays. All my knowledge is probably outdated by now... =/ There's a section in my opening post that focuses on just the eyes. Which part are you having difficulty understanding?
Which step 4 are you stuck on? "Making Your Character Pose", "Changing The Position of the Eyes" or "Lights, Camera, edit!"?
Also, A small announcement in case Red and Mikuru noticed what I just did. If anyone notices that their username changed to "Award" for a split second, it means three things: 1) I am about to give you an award. 2) You have a somewhat silly username with weird symbols, or a username that's already taken by someone else, and thus the award script does not recognize you. 3) Consequently, I need to change your name to something not-silly and not-taken in order to give the award to you. Then revert it back.
(That is also one of the reasons why I personnally dislike somewhat silly usernames with weird symbols and very generic usernames that everybody has. .w.)
Ah bummer. I actually did consider that, but then I figured the scripts went by usernames (not display names) so I didn't really worry about it... Oh well, no big deal, I can change it back to Red93 if that would be better.
Oh, and one more question, if I've made BV reports with the Red name (which I actually have xD), do those not count now?
Is the ninja award lost once you break 1000 posts after you're already gotten it?
Also... when do I finally get my Restorer award (well, it would be the silver Rising one now)? I feel kinda awkward asking for it a second time (almost decided against it), but it's been nearly two months now. :O It's not really that big of a deal, but just curious.
