Here is my initial list of userbars I think should be created.  Please tell me if I need to add any additional ones.

EDIT moved the list to the top of the thread.

Still confused but I can create a "Never deal with a Dragon" userbar with Dunkelzahn in the background if you would like(while Lofwyr is a better candidate for the userbar, the cover of Dunkelzahn's secrets is the best dragon picture I've ever come across).

Why are you so confused?
He has a Userbar that has the eyes of a draon as the picture on it.
One that you probably made.
Also: DOTSW Cover Image is nice for a Dragon.
And most of the interior Pictures too.

You guys do know there are options to turn off avatars and signatures, right?
Title: Re: Userbars
Post by: Stahlseele on <05-17-11/0517:26>
But it's all or nothing right?
And he has a user bar in his own signature.
Why would he switch off signatures then?
OK, now I am confused <.<

Actually, I created it. And I'm a bit confused as well.  ???

To get back on track, what other userbars do people want to see? 

I know with other forums (the Battletech forums come to mind) you can only have a limit of 2 images (of modest size) in your signature block.  Is there a similar rule for the Shadowrun forums?  If so I can also provide a link on how to create an animated userbar from several of the above userbars.

The only real limit is the # of characters in the sig. Although we like to try to encourage smaller images in the sigs*.


*See guys? Learned my lesson! ;)

Maybe he wants to share with others, but not chew up his own bandwidth? Just a little SWAG here, mind you.

The tutorial is kinda annoying but it covers the basics on how to create an animated gif.  Basically you make each userbar a separate layer in GIMP, and then give each layer a (5000ms) property.

I've touched up the Shadowrun bar to make it look more professional.  I've also finished AI, Dragons, The Matrix, UCAS, and the first draft of Never Deal with a Dragon (I will change this in the future as I don't like it that much).  If you want something added to the list or you want me to work on a specific userbar first, please tell me.  Otherwise I will work through the list as I have time.

I've updated some of the userbars.

Sorry my server is down.  I will be resetting it at 7pm (CST).

Add Rigger, Human (ripped off from my userbar on the EP site), HMHVV, and Loyalty to the Highest bidder (I used Xtrahmxwohld's userbar (Battletech Forums)).  Enjoy.

Possibly stupid question: what is a use bar, and how many can I use, and how do I use them?

Slap an image-link to them into your sig so it shows up down there, I think.
