alas, i do not have a pic of a dovin basal.
sorry to be such nitpicker, but on all of the pages but the moddels, the title "Welcome to the New Jedi Order Modification Website" right under the banner is still right aligned. also, you might want to put that first pic of the VSD on a separate line from the text, so there's not a huge gap between one line of text and another. one of the pics of the vsd seems to be right aligned as well.

I don't see a huge gap between text...dreadlordnyax wrote: also, you might want to put that first pic of the VSD on a separate line from the text, so there's not a huge gap between one line of text and another.
and I fixed everything else
I also tried the banner out on the downloads page and it looks a little empty at the top now. Dread' do you think you could make a little something like guru did at the top of Gametoast where it says "The Mod Site for..."and the picture? Not to say the same thing or anything like that, just, maybe a kind of logo thing... Do you get what I'm saying?
btw it is still on the download page until you see it then I'll take it off.

the big gap: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b131/ ... sitess.jpg
i think the reason it looks so empty is because the other one has actually been stretched. mine was actually the same size as the one you posted a while back, but the one one the website has been stretched and is larger. i'll make a bigger one if you want, but i'll probably have to start over, so it may be awhile before i get to that. what size should i make it? oh, and i may try and make it so it "blends in" with the black bg on the site.
i'm not entirely clear on what it is you want me to do. you want me to make a pic that says "the mod site for: " + a pic of the swbf2 cover? why?
anyways, i was thinking about making some nav buttons or a nav bar. i dont know how much you're able to change the website, but such things, plus borders & a side area (dunno what we'd put there tho) would go a long way to making it look very "professional". also just thought of this, you might wanna put a link back to this thread on the website, if you dont already have one.

Nevermind, if you are making a new banner that would be better, I was just trying to get something to fill the space left behind by the banner you made, so I wouldn't have to stretch it.dreadlordnyax wrote:the big gap:

Borders and a side area I don't currently know how to do but google is my friend
so I can find out.I've been thinking of a place to put the link to this thread but I don't know what would be appropriate, and it would need to be in a permanent place i.e. not in the "news" on the home page.

hm, maybe could you add a basic faq page to the site, like general stuff about what this mod is, does, what its for, brief bg info on the vong/njo, etc, and put a link to here so they can find out all the stuff we've talked about.
and what about the vsd pic/big gap? it really looks awful.
(i haven't actually started on a new banner, its just an idea. so if you want to tell me something to include, now's your chance
. i guess i'll make it ~ 1000x150 or 1000x200 px...more room to work with, more stuff i can include 
hardest part is finding stuff that blends together nicely. as you'll notice, all of those original ones were painted mostly realistically, and had a red/yellowish tone. hm, maybe i'll just remake that one, bigger, perhaps add the fire-breathers, as they would blend in nicely, methinks)

arrrg still looks the same for me 
whatever
:!::!::!: anyways, i just hit the jackpot. theforce.net has all the jap covers, high res! i'm so happy
now i'll have plenty of stuff to use for the banner
http://www.theforce.net/books/bookcovers/jpn_njo.asp go check 'em out, they're really sweet! (hey what do you think about using that flaming logo from vector prime as sort of the logo for the mod?)
not only do japanese get cooler covers, they get cooler voxyn.
i present the standard "american" voxyn: http://www.theforce.net/books/unjoh/gal ... -voxyn.jpg
and the "japanese" voxyn: http://jaina.venusgospel.net/gallery/jaina_21.jpg
c'mon america! i dont ever remember reading anything about a fat green tongue... :evil:
if we ever include voxyn in this mod, we definitely gotta go with the japanese version

Wow the new banner looks awesome, anyway for the site i think we new more graphics on it, its way to simple right now. For example adding a Navigation bar with buttons (Could be in flash, java or just plain old jpg).
The text on the banner is fine, but i think it should say New Jedi Order, then right under it A Battlefront II Modification, would sound better that way. Or we could come up with a new Name for the mod instaide of just NJO. Then it could be NEW NAME and right under it, A New Jedi Order (Or just NJO) Battlefront II Mod.

okay, yeah, just tell me what text you want, its easy to replace in photoshop or rather, let me know right before you're gonna update the site with the new banner trans, then i'll fix it and give it to you (in case we change our minds or something). i'll try to work the text for the new banner to fit what rg suggested. mmm, maybe if i get amitious i'll try to design a whole background for the site (may not happen tho, i have a feeling i'm gonna get really busy soon).
personally i prefer mods that are named after what they actually add, the name's actually helpful to people that haven't heard of it. if you can come up with a cool name tho, by all means post it.
and yeah, raingod, i definitely agree about the nav bar, if you look up a few posts i said i was gonna try and make one. trans, you might wanna look into how to code that (if you dont already know)
oh, if anyone here has flash skillz, it'd be awesome to have a flash website...

why don't you go ahead and switch the banner, but after that, i'm gonna try and keep a consistent "theme" for everything, so it would be good to upload it all at the same time.
btw, i was thinking, i've seen some sites that had multiple banners, and whenever you refreshed the page, it would choose a random one. do you think you could learn how to do that from alpha? or does that require some additional coding besides html? anyways, that'd be cool, now that i have all these japanese covers to work with, there's definitely a possibility for a variety of banners

Nope but it's close, here is the pic I used while making the modeldreadlordnyax wrote:a...car? lol.
and yeah, tis a good pic, useful too. i'll probably use it in some way or another for the nav bar/buttons.
I didn't try to get the exact same shape or look to it but just used it for a general shape. Now remember this is my very first model so don't be to mean to me
I think I'll add more "warts" to it later but I wanted to go ahead and post it because I may not be able to tonight and I am definetly not finished with it.Hi Res: http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2963 ... er15ws.png
If anyone know of a better way of taking pics let me know.
Dread' my location over there <<< now says where I am in the series, but not the actual book so you have to try to remember :twisted:

RE: Coralskipper!!
not bad, not bad. although please tell me we wont' be using that pic to skin it 
i also like the skips from this pic, you might see if you could incorporate some of it (or perhaps as an alternate skip? raingod?)
and that <^ was the agents of chaos series, wasn't it? still got some reading to do
btw, outbound flight project is supposed to come out tomorrow! i know you don't really have the time to read it, but...

RE: Coralskipper!!
no no no I won't use that pic to skin it. Anyway I like that ^ pic too 
and those look bomberish if you know what I'm saying.
I have a good reason for not being further ahead, our bookstores here didn't have the books or the library so my family finally went down to Atlanta and I bought a couple of books there so now I've almost read Jedi Eclipse in 5 days so I'll probably start on Balance Point tomorrow.
I am also under the impression Dread' that you liked "Star by Star" a lot, is it because of the author? Because I noticed he also wrote the Dark Nest series and is helping write the next series also.
