I dont know any of those that I can do. So I guess that is all you will get from me unless something else comes up and I can do it. I will still get you the logo if I can get a good one done up soon. I do have a fairly big project going right now (the orange box collab) so I don't know how much time I have on ym hands anymore.

Well if this thread was a little more active than we would know exactly how much is done/left.

Oh and mechanix do you want me to do you some portal art? I could draw a portal background for us, I'll make it a looping mc so it you know, makes ambience.
Of course if you have other plans that's alright

I do have an idea for the menu, but it is slowly falling apart cause the thing I am trying to do is very hard to draw/ animate. If you want to draw something up feel free to do so, whether it will get used or not is not a guaruntee.

Oh and chief-hungry-bear i guess you can join cause jimmick has already said so, but just do anything that he has said or that has already been done a billion times before.

Well, I'll be here for a while

add me I'm bored

I don't really want to add you even though I am really bored myself, I don't see any benefit as to adding you to my contact list.

I'm just fucking with ya I'll add you if I have time in the next couple of hours

hoow about this rant that I posted earlier

I think collabs are just for having fun and meeting new people. You can also learn a thing or two from them. I know I have. It is also a good way to improve your skills at animating, and you get positive feedback from others and you can help people with their animation skills with your feedback. I know you can just do that in the portal, but during the making process I think it is much more useful for the feedback.

I agree with you on the collabs that have very poor animations and few good ones, but it also shows that just about anyone can work together. It is just like that last one that I had worked on (The Easter Collab), most of the animations were shit but we still managed to get a good score because of the few good animations we had in it and the really good joke we had at the end.

The best way to give people feedback is just to tell them straight up what they need to do to make they're stuff better. I know I have had to do that many times in the last couple days. It is just a good feeling when you help someone become a better artist, and also seeing the potential for those that could be a really good artist if they just keep practicing and challenging themselves to do better.

I have also seen some collabs that have just fallen apart after they were started and it is really sad when the collab was a brilliant idea and most people that madea post thought it was the stupidest idea ever. I tried to start a collab a couple days ago and one post that was made by a mod made everyone that looked at it want to not join, so I was a little saddened that one persons saying can cause a complete failure.

The thing that is the worst that I have seen about collabs that have been made are the ones that people only let those that have a BA of 3.0 to join. That I think is unfair expecially to those that do have talent but just not the score to back it up and for those that have a really good idea for the collab that could have potentially made it get a great score or even the front page.

Back to your question. I find that some collabs are just used for some really lazy artist that can't make a good video by themselves and have to mooch off of others so that they can get a good score. There is also collabs I have seens where the host of it was a really good artist on their own and just want to do a project to help out those that can't do their own video and help improve their score and talent as an artist. This also helps build up their confidence to make their own animations without fear of it getting blammed out of the flash portal in the first day of it being submitted.

Anyways there is something to think about.

Peace out

Ok sweet

The more parts the better :P

I'm going now so i'll probably be back later.

YAY I love brownies

What other parts are you sill needing to get finished. If it is one I don't know how to do than I can't do it but I will try if it is an easier one. What kind of logo are you really asking for like a picture or something?

Well at least it clicked, I didn't really want to explain it again. I don't think the buttons that link to a webpage will be very log because all I will have to do is say what it does and provide the code and an example which i could prolly do in 1 or 2 frames

At 4/4/08 06:47 AM, tommattox wrote: Kind of but your supposed to get the percent loaded and the x. of the bar depends on the percent loaded. You'll get half the credit for doing it so you've got 1.5 so far and i'll finish it off. Are you still doing buttons to websites.

Also to madlyinsane: Hows the shape tweens tutorial going.

Ok I dont think you understand anything I have said. The loading bar that I ANIMATED is only to SHOW what it will look like, the ACTUAL bar will move acording to the precentbytes loaded. So if the video takes a really long time to load the bar will take a really long time to move. If it is loaded really fast the bar will move really fast. The code I supplied will make the bar move according to the amount of bytes that are loaded.

Yes I am still going to do the code that links to websites, although it is one simple line of code and I could finish it in about ten mins I just want to make sure you fully understand about my preloader section before I move onto making the second one. I know you have reached your 4 limit per half hour so PM me and we will talk if you still don't get it.

At 4/4/08 06:39 AM, tommattox wrote: I know but it was animated not scripted. The bar was supposed to be scripted to grow as the movie loaded not just grow all the time.

It was animated to show the viewer what it was supposed to look like if i made it into the code you wouldnt see anything happen to it, it would already have loaded from the beggining of the video.

If you use my tutorial and make a preloader of your own copying and pasting the code and following it step by step you should come up with a working preloader for the opening of the video.

Do you get what I am trying to say here?

At 4/4/08 06:35 AM, tommattox wrote: I mean the code is supposed to get the percent loaded and make the bar a length according to that. However your preloader without a bar tutorial is excellent.

That little section I posted had the loading bar included in it

At 4/4/08 06:06 AM, tommattox wrote: No wait preloaders is done but with bars isn't. Sorry but thats not right. It's suppossed to actually load like the number one and get wider according to the percent loaded.

The one that I did has a loading bar in it. It also has the counting from 0 - 100 in it if that is what you are asking for.

worse shit could happen here

It's not bad, I can't really help you with ideas only becasue I have never played the game or any of them for that matter. It is still a good opener though

I don't think we have determined what the backgroung music is going to be. Any suggestions would be nice. The music that we would be looking for is something quiet and calm so that other sounds can be heard in peoples videos.

Ya the idea was never going to have any two parts made by one artist together. Another team fortress 2 part would be really good cause we are lacking in that section.

Also did you see my message about me changing you parts slightly.

ok i figured out what you are doing wrong. You on have the on (release) handler and you also have the code on the frame not the button

to fix this click on the button and open the actions bar and put the code in, and put the word

you have them put together they have to be theyre own seperate on release events

if you add them and make them look like what i posted before you will be fine. here they are again. just make sure they look exactly like this in the actions bar

on (release) {_quality = "low";}

on (release) {gotoAndPlay()}
