in Creating hot spots on a map December 2011

Just wanted to throw in that if anyone has any coding questions they can feel free to drop me a line as well. If I know how to do it, I'd be happy to help show you how :).

in Ascendant Membership -- what happens when it ends? November 2011

The first two campaigns become your active campaigns, and the others become inactive, but no data is lost when your membership expires. When you re-ascend, then you regain access to the extra campaigns again. I believe that's how it works.

Yeah, not a problem, I've had a lot of practice with creative div usage :). Just make sure that if you want the proportions to stay correct that you only set the width for the image map, it will automatically re-size the height to match. If you run …

in Creating hot spots on a map November 2011

I've only taken a cursory glance at your code, but I think what you should be able to do what you want to do is this: Use actual pixel values for instead of 100% for the width (i.e. 730px) and don't use that image as a background image. Instead,…

Wow, I hadn't seen this wiki before, but you have an awesome looking page Wolfhound! I really like the effect you've used on your images to make them all fit perfectly with the theme, and the blocked layout is very polished looking. Design aside…

Awesome, glad you got it figured out :)

Those two commands do very different things, what are you trying to accomplish?

I'd try and make it compatible, I know I for one probably wouldn't take the time to open another browser to take a passing look at a website. (I would if I was one of your players of course, but still)

in Browsers on OP November 2011

Most code works in most browsers, however, there are always going to be inconsistencies. I would think that the most common is Firefox, but the big four to test are going to be IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari (I've always had the exact same experienc…

Haha, I suppose I should take it as a compliment that it looked so real ;).

in The "Review my Campaign" thread November 2011

Hey SW, I apologize for the graphical errors in DQotW. I've never even heard of Maxthon, but I have tested the layout in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, and it works just fine. We are currently in the process of converting everything into the phone …

I suppose I'll be down for short bits of advice and critique for page design as well. I unfortunately don't have the time I used to to keep up with these forums, but I try to check in when I can. I figure I might be of help this way :). I'll star…

in I want Fans November 2011

I wanted to give my two cents on the topic as well :). I admit, I'm in the same boat as "I want fans". As many of my fellow GMs on here have experienced, many players don't appreciate or utilize what we DMs do with our campaign pages here on OP. I w…

in The "Review my Campaign" thread November 2011

Whoa, lots of posts... thanks Morrinn that's exactly what I was looking for. I haven't done any work on the site for a while, and I've been wondering where I should start. I appreciate the nitpicking, the criticism is great to help give me an idea w…

Hey, I like this, I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on my campaign, it might inspire me to get some work done on them. My main site is, "The Melekar Chronicles":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/melekar which has been around OP for a wh…

Your maps are too awesome Arsheesh! I can't handle all the awesome!

Just throwing my name in the pot as someone who's video is now showing up as only text. I will be keeping an eye out to see if it is resolved.

Hey straydog, glad to see someone taking up this mantle since I have been fairly busy and the Fantastinomicon has fallen by the wayside. If you'd be interested in combining resources, I'd be happy to add you to the Fantastinomicon, or some such. Let…

in What Happen to Ascendant Member features when you cancel? August 2011

That is the case, but nothing is deleted, you can just no longer access it. If you were to reactivate, your extra maps and everything else would become available again. That is the way I understand it, but I'm only 99% sure.

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread August 2011

That's looking pretty amazing Sheesh, I love the look of your maps, I couldn't come up with a realistic method like that that I liked well enough to do an update to my main world map, but I've been quite happy with the hand-drawn style ones. Als…

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread August 2011

I am on a crazy roll.... here's continent number 3, Algur. I've gone with a little bit different style for the text, and used a different set of brushes for the mountains, so I would love to hear which style looks better. I also added some flavor no…

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread August 2011

Hey Sheesh, no, I didn't use a stock parchment per se.... I used a combination of brushes that I found, some grunge splatters and a brush that simulates paper folds, and then I erased the edges of the map to match the paper fold brush. I'm worki…

Thanks for the info Sheesh, I'll have to take a look at those other tutorials! In the meantime, I completed my second hand-drawn style continent map. The continent of Cormand, and the island nation of Barithani: "link":http://gaaran.deviantart.com/#…

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread August 2011

Oh, also Sheesh, I was wondering, which tutorials from the Cartographers' Guild did you use to develop that style of map? I'm just curious, cause I'm looking to update my world map as a whole, and I love the look of your most recent maps. I know you…

Wow, congrats Sheesh, that's awesome! Did you find the client via the cartographer's guild? Also, check out the final version of my hand-drawn style map. I got it printed out 20"x30" and it came out great! "Link":http://gaaran.deviantart.com/#/d…

in Shared World July 2011

Well, I might be interested, although I don't know that I'd be able to do something regularly (between work and my other games - two online with people here at the portal, and one IRL). If you're looking for any ideas, feel free to take a look a…

in Help, my images are misaligned July 2011

I bet that you'd actually be able to fix it with a line break or two after each link, so it would look like: !(media-item-align-left){height:55x;width:45px}http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/54991/lund.png(Lund)! [[Duchy of Lund]] !(medi…

I second Gnunn's notion for wanting the template! What did you use to create it and are you willing to share?
