voltaicsylph Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 If you like it, send me the in-game size for billboards and I'll redo it in the correct aspect ratio 🙂 This ad came from an origin story for one of my toons 🙂 1 1
UltraAlt Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 wow. Player created billboards for the city would be pretty cool. I'd like to see some of those "Earth For Humans!" signs replaced. They are awful xenophobic. The Rikti aren't the only non-humans in THE CITY! There are characters in City of Heroes from all over the place and many of them aren't humans. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

I don't care either, earth is humanities home and if some feel that way, its okay... doesn't hurt me any! I wouldn't say... Rikti aren't human though, or alien of sorts...😉 - Xoza Shadow (@Xoza) Ordo Imperialis / Xoza.net Everlasting / Excelsior Arcon | Yuri'ko | Xoza | Nebulum | Novae | Nebulae | Chell | Rayn | Mendalara | Teslia | Cybernet | Teras Kasi | Arcstalker | Bull Rush My Costume Archive | My Characters & Creations | My Binds/Macros | My Club

This could cause issues, especially if the creator snuck in something lewd or offensive, or otherwise tried to claim some sort of copyright/ownership later on.

I have never tried it myself, but it's discussed in a texture thread here: 1 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.
The GrunTuk Empire Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) We agree, we believe there should better messages presented on Earth's billboards. We petitioned for one to be placed in Steel Canyon... even did the work ourselves to place it up... yet some hero tore it down... Just because we wish to conquer Earth does not mean vandalism is justified.

The v1.3 build 350 is the one I use and I have many customized billboards. The ratios are as follows: Horizontal 4:1 512x128 (long and skinny, e.g. Pinnacle Apartments) Horizontal 2:1 512x256 (most rectangular, e.g. Chris Jenkins attorney) Vertical 1:2 256x512 (basic rectangle turned on its end, e.g. Major Flanders) Vertical 1:4 128x512 (long skinny, but vertical, e.g. Red Beast energy drink) Square 1:1 256x256 (square, e.g. Paragon City Pizza) When you use Splasher, it give you the choice of which billboards to use. There is a checkbox "Apply to all textures in the selected category" - if you want different billboards, make sure this is unchecked. Then just pick which billboard you'd like to replace with yours, making sure the ratio is the same one you used to create it. It's a good idea to fly around and note where the original ones are so you know where yours will appear. I have custom log in screens, zoning screens, and the background for character selection/creation. You will end up needing both versions (see instructions in the thread at the link I posted above - it explains everything). I *love* Splasher. Please note this is CLIENT SIDE only, so the only one who will see your changes is you, unless you get others with which you share your textures to install them as well. Have fun! ~ DawL Edited January 21, 2023 by DawL 2
voltaicsylph Posted January 31, 2023 Author Posted January 31, 2023 biostem, I fully intended that folks turn in billboards to the Devs and they could decide which ones to post. I wouldn't want anyone to post offensive stuff!
