[FrIkY]

[Blood Raven]

Pancakes!
What do you think?

tasty

 

[darkdeathknight]

When I first saw the empty plate I thought you were a troll, but then I saw the attatched images . The Honey/Syrup looks real, and it can also be used properly (as it has a model and all).

 

[NFWar]

Final Entry

This is my submission for this contest. I have attached here:
- .pds files as a proof of my work
- Image with icons in game
- .blp files as finished resource

 

[FrIkY]

Awesome, NFWar!

Alright, here it is, my third and final icon... the cake!
Tell me what you think! It's not the same quality as the others, I had to rush it. Also, I forgot to save WIPs, but I hope it's still okay. I'll make an ingame screenshot now and my final submission.

EDIT: Also, the plate you see here is the same plate I used in the Pancake icon, I hope that's okay.

 

[Deolrin]

Looks really great. Both of you.

 

[FrIkY]

[Deolrin]

Okay, screw that, THAT'S AWESOME! And incredibly hilarious, as well!
That's just great!

 

[kola]

Hmm, are we obligated to give an ingame picture?..

I don't have Wc3 anymore so i won't be able to provide one...

 

[Magtheridon96]

I may not like participating in these "Trials" as you call them ,
but reading the comments is very entertaining xD

I love how Pyramidhe@d keeps getting pissed at some of you xD

BTW guys, nice icons! Especially you FrIky!
Those icons are AMAZING in-game!

I vote for FrIky! (I am allowed to do that right? )

 

[supertoinkz]

A bit late because Internet was out. Last one (Milkshake) is rushed.

[Krl70]

Ingame screenshot?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

lol, why would icons need ingame screenshots? so you can see the same picture but with all the wc3 crap surrounding it? Pfft, just photoshop the icons into an ingame screenshot.

No idea, but it's in the rules.

Because it's in the rules. :/

 

[darkdeathknight]

Dont copy what krl70 said man, its just not cool

 

[anarchianbedlam]

so? model contests also have "ingame screenshot" as a "rule" that nobody follows

 

[FrIkY]

Alright, I've set up a list of all the final submissions, make sure I didn't leave out anyone:
shiiK
kola
Tr!KzZ
Krl70
darkdeathknight
NFWar
FrIkY
supertoinkz
Blood Raven
M0rbid

I see what you did there.

 

[Krl70]

And also, you do know that a pepperoni is a sort of sausage? That is a red chilli pepper or something.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Thats a Naga Viper Chilli

Hottest chilli in the world

 

[M0rbid]

Added the ingame screenies, hope they will open you all a door to new and unbelieveable wisdom and facts that you could have never thought of.

Also.... if I remember correctly a Phoenix Trial is about icons and what they are displaying not about their name, but maybe I have made a mistake there. Silly me....

 

[Deolrin]

so? model contests also have "ingame screenshot" as a "rule" that nobody follows

And that comes from a model moderator...?
I don't get it.

 

[-Berz-]

So I'm out... good luck to everyone else that finished their entries.

 

[FrIkY]

So I'm out... good luck to everyone else that finished their entries.

You can still finish in time, there's about 4 hours left, if my time is correct.

 

[Dentothor]

hm. seems like i didnt have the time to finish. good luck to you all

 

[-Berz-]

True, but I don't feel like making an icon and fixing the other one :|

 

[anarchianbedlam]

And that comes from a model moderator...?
I don't get it.

When do we get to see the part where debode looks at the model section and realizes that no one uses ingame screenshots?

 

[darkdeathknight]

hm. seems like i didnt have the time to finish. good luck to you all

But didnt you make three already? You still could finish.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

well having model ingame screenshot is just an incentive for people to actually have their own model tested ingame.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

well having model ingame screenshot is just an incentive for people to actually have their own model tested ingame.

Exactly. So.... has there ever been an example of an icon NOT working ingame? (assuming its in .blp)

 

[Deolrin]

Corrupted alpha channels.
Of course there's been.

 

[Dentothor]

But didnt you make three already? You still could finish.

i never posted the blp

 

[Krl70]

So, when do we start raging about a poll?

 

[Dionesiist]

There's still 5 days left.

 

[FrIkY]

There's still 5 days left.

• The contest shall begin on 26 Feb 2011 and conclude on 20th March 2011, GMT

Today is 21st March 2011, what do you mean, Dionesiist? Don't tell me you used the Time Machine and got yourself in the wrong timeline...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Corrupted alpha channels.
Of course there's been.

Youd have to be a special breed of idiot to fuck something like that up. Since icons dont use teamcolor and have no use for alpha channels.

Yep that's right.. We need a poll!!!

 

[Deolrin]

That made me laugh.
Alpha channels are featured in all .BLP and .TGA files. Many available converters tend to fuck up alpha channels. Many of them do it when you save the .BMP or whatever format you're using for the icon in a bad 'Depth'(I forgot if the required depth for icons is 24 bit or 32 bit). This will cause the icon to look like a neon green square in-game.
Besides, some people use "auto-borderizers". Some of those tend to sometimes not work, especially when converting from a regular image format to a .BLP.
There are many cases in which the icon would not work in-game.

Fine, then i will rephrase that.
"Youd have to be a special breed of idiot to fuck something like that up. Since BUTTON MANAGER"

1. draw shitty picture
2. insert into button manager
3. ????
4. profit!

 

[Deolrin]

But not everyone is compelled to use Button Manager.
Just stop it, anarchianbedlam. We're spamming the phoenix trial thread for no good reason. It's in the rules, thus it is necessary. The rules were written by people far more clever than either I or you, and you know it.

 

[Dentothor]

anarchianbedlam is correct.
he gives logic, not stupidity.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

I honestly can't see a reason to post an in-game screenshot, but if that's how you want it, disqualify me. :v

Anyway, even if you're silly enough to save your icon as a .BMP, Debode, Button Manager will fix it. There's no reason not to use Button Manager, as it does everything, absolutely everything except making the artwork, for you. You can make your icon in any size and in almost any format, and it still converts it to .BLP, adds the border and makes the necessary versions of the icon successfully. Two-clicks and profit.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

is it really that hard to post a screenshot?
excluding the fact that it is to check for errors, it is also a good visual evidence to see if the icon actually fits in wc

 

[NFWar]

I still can see "Username 1" and "Username 2" as Judges names. Contest submission time was expired. Pool is not starting because we still dont have any judges?

 

[-Berz-]

Well, I can judge... but it would be for the first time, so there must be a second judge, just to compare our scoring.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

poll will be made on saturday

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Poll is out.
