One thing about porting bios...

[OrochiGeese]

Proboards doesn't like the EZboard code for pictures.

That goes for in the bios and any thing you port over that has pics from EZboard.

So instead of using [image][/image] tags (like EZboard has)

Use [/img]

Using Dragonkin's roster images from the OG-Joshi Fansite, I'm going to get back to making the bio images for the whole roster. Most of the roster already has them, but these'll be updated with FPR pics, and the chunk of the roster that hasn't been done yet'll get done, son!

You've earned a cookie

Thanks so much to both Dragonkin and Moto for the logo pic project, you guys both rule

The logo pics look amazing so far too, I'm really excited about them

[OrochiGeese]

Moto was also kind enough to show me how he did that cool CRITICAL! logo:


CRITICAL! Style:


If I actually do the code, i won't be able to show HOW i did it so im using parenthesis instead:


(Italic) (Bold) (Color = Orange) CRITICAL (End color) (End Bold) (End italic)

[OrochiGeese]

Also Moto emailed me this:


"Also note that I can host people's entrance music. All I need is the
file, and I can send back a link. ^_^"

What a guy! ;D


That CRITICAL! "font" is awesome, i love looking at it

I'm really really happy we moved to this board, I love being on it

[motosada]

Well, really, that stuff could've been done just as easily on EZBoard, so...

[Dragonkin]

For the roster images... first of all, hope they're a good size - did some fiddling back and forth with that, but let me know if they need to be bigger or whatnot.

Also, updated the fansite to show all four of Kaori's attires (since I had the pictures ready anyway, was a shame not to use them), as well as putting up a picture of newcomer Eris Byrne. I also put the roster in alphabetical order apart from the champions, cause the disarray was annoying me a tad. =)

And though slightly less useful for these purposes, there are also these fansites:
ogfpd.dragonisle.org/
lawl.dragonisle.org/

If you'd like, I can make some graphics to go with the OG-Joshi and OG-FPD page (what bit of OG-FPD there still is, anyway).

Couple suggestions:
- Have the Champions be set above, or maybe tabled with a differently-colored background (like, you know, gold).
- Having all four Kaoris is a bit of overkill, haha. Maybe (if you can do this) have just one placemarker for Kaori, set to randomly pop-up when the page is loaded? Or, have one Kaori on the page, and if you click on her, it shows one of the four outfits randomly, while you still have all four larger pics viewable?
- You can take Diva Dynamite off; she won't be coming around for a long time. You know, new heel thing and all. ^_^

[Dragonkin]

Since I don't like using tables without good reason, I've just taken the spacing route - it might not be the prettiest solution, but it seems to do the trick at least... maybe I should just grab the belt graphics and put the belt next to each champion (or set of champions in case of tag) on their own line? I'll also look into a php/css solution for different coloured backdrop.

And yeah, all four Kaoris is overkill and the face Diva is redundant by now - I just used the site as a dumpzone to put the images up, so you could pick the one you liked the best. I'll look into the randomness since I'm still a bit new at php, but if nothing else, once my own site is a bit more finished, I'll probably make small "fan bios" for each wrestler anyway, and then I can just move the different costumes (likewise with Diva's old face costume) into each wrestler's gallery.

More than anything, these fan sites were really just to keep my html/php skills developing a bit, and getting the roster pics up where you can grab them. =)

But I had fun throwing together that alternate LAWL logo, at least...

Oh, and yeah - graphics would be cool. =)

[motosada]

Ah, okay. I thought it was all tabled-up, hahah.

I think the Champions should definitely stand apart from the rest of the roster. I can certainly supply you with pics of the Championships. Just let me know dimensions, and the background color (like, the HTML "#111111" code for it), and I can do that for ya.

Also, let me know what other kinds of graphics you'd like. I can't say that I have a huge range of skills - I'm sure by now you've seen what kind of stuff I have up my sleeve, and I tend to learn and find out new stuff at a regular pace - so let me know what kind of stuff you'd want to see up, and I can do my best to accommodate. ^_^

[Dragonkin]

For the background on the championships, it'd probably be easiest to make them transparent really.
For dimensions - no taller than 100 pixels.

For the kinds of graphics, I'll just have to keep that in mind, and see what I can make use of. Right now my first priority is getting the DI-Joshi stuff sorted, and the OG-FPD/OG-Joshi/LAWL fansites were just something I threw together in a couple of minutes so I wouldn't have to send you and OG the pictures by email. =)

[motosada]

Here ya go. The cut on the Tag Team Championship still bugs me a bit, tho. I can try to refine it a bit, or, there's also the possibility of using images like those on the Champions page in the Biographies section.

[motosada]

Hey, Dkin, you wouldn't happen to have this font called Avéavé, would you? It's one of Blambot's fonts, and I'm tryin' to obtain it for some OG-Joshi stuff, but I don't really feel like shelling out $20 for one frickin' font.

[Dragonkin]

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't. I'll keep an eye out for it, though.

BIO THREAD BUMP!

I'd like to apologize for anyone who has had a bio up with no picture. I'm gonna rectify that now

(Also, new "Mean" Jean bio containing her actual visage which is based on the Mii that Motosada made)
