Hi guys, this is your newest newbie speaking. I made this ::ahem:: wonderous room entitled, Bed Room1 for my game. I drew it all with (brace yourself) MSpaint. Yes you heard right, the worst of all paint programs. I tried using PSP 7, but I can't quite figure it out yet and I wanted to get started. Anywho, here it is.

I can`t see your room...

QuoteYes you heard right, the worst of all paint programs.

No,you`re not right!!!
If you learn how to use it , it might achieve wonderfull results!

Where is the image located?Ã,Â What server?Ã,Â It looks like you're trying to show a picture that is located on YOUR computer? (that just won't work unless your computer is set up that way)

Code: ags

I apologize for being dum, but how do you upload images correctly and how do you find their URL?

Layabout · Tue 20/07/2004 19:34:51

There is a sticky thread that tells you where you can upload it to.

Now if you can't figure that out... leave the internet and never return.

Crook836 · Tue 20/07/2004 19:49:05

Yes, I've uploaded several images with that, and it tells me that it has been uploaded as Bed_Room.JPG. How do I get the URL to that?

Evil · Tue 20/07/2004 20:21:32

Lay, you are mean and an idiot.

Tiki · Tue 20/07/2004 21:08:36

you had been doing "http://Bed_Room1.JPG" without the rest of the URL....

Any ways, nice background there, but the thing that really bugs me is the bed's shadow. Only one leg is casting a shadow....

Edit: Those JPG artifacts are a bit annoying. Is is possible for you to save it as a GIF next time?

Double Edit: The outlines also seem inconsistent. The window's is huge, for example, and the TV has tiny lines.

or as .png rather. It has no colour loss.

Crook836 · Tue 20/07/2004 21:41:51

I agree about the JPG artifacts. I already have it saved as a different file because of that. I accidentally uploaded that one and didn't want to take up too much sapce (probably just being dumb again

)

OK, I think I got the hang of this upload thing, let me try.

OK, I changed the bed colors due to awkwardness of shadow colors. I did all four bed post shadows, and tried a few touch ups on the shadows. I left two different shading styles on the door to see which one is better in the old veterans' opinion. Oh, I also looked at a few rooms others have made and re-did the perspective to a better, bigger space. Any more. I love all your tips and comments!

no, wait

Evil · Tue 20/07/2004 22:49:07

URLs are case sensitive.

Al_Ninio · Tue 20/07/2004 22:49:20

The last one is almost right, but capitalization in filenames matters, so make sure you get that right.

Edit: Damn you, Evil. Damn you.

Oops, I got it now, but I put the wrong one up. Sorry about all the posts, guys $:-\$

Crook836 · Tue 20/07/2004 22:56:36

Damn. Please tell me how to edit a post so I don't keep posting.

Al_Ninio · Tue 20/07/2004 22:57:31

Click the "modify" button, it's next to "reply with quote".

Off to a good start!

Some things:
1) The perspective on the bed and nightstand are off a little
2) The TV has no depth/perspective
3) Add a border to the door
4) Fix the bed's shadow (already mentioned)

Sorry I don't have time for an edit ... but check this thread out I did a paintover with a very similar perspective

Crook836 · Tue 20/07/2004 23:15:06

How about the different shading in the door.Ã,Â Which one looks better to an adventure gamers eye?

Also, how would you go about adding depth/perspective to the TV?
