Userbar

Userbars are small rectangular images that are designed to be put in an Internet forum signature block. Userbars may be animated if the artist wishes. They are often used to show the user's interests, hobbies, or graphical skills. Userbar standards are often strictly defined and enforced by communities to ensure that they all have a neat appearance when animated or when stacked vertically. Although there is some variation, most are not wider than 350 pixels and not higher than 19 pixels so they can fit in with other userbars. Many userbars are as little as 1kb. Some may be larger depending on animation size.

How To Create Portable Software Program

When u go to CITC or Library..Do u notice some of the peeps r able to play CS or Dota without d fucking CD? Some questions pop up in ur mind.
How? How?

Ok people, this tutorial will show you how to make portable games. (Can apply in other s/w as well)

4. You need Winrar, right-click the folder and select “Add to Archive”
5. Check the box “Create SFX Archive”

6. Click the Advanced Tab, then click “SFX Options”

7. In the General Tab, where it says “Path to extract” type %temp%.

8. Also in the General Tab, where it says “Run after extraction” type the .exe file that you want to load, for example ‘OpenArena\ioquake3.x86.exe’ without the ‘’.

9. Then goto the Mode tab and check the box that says ‘Unpack to temporary folder’

10. Then if you want to customize your package a little bit, you can goto the ‘Text and Icon’ Tab and insert a title, some text, and icon and a logo. After you’ve done everything you want to do, click OK OK OK, wait for it to compress, and PRESTO, you’re all done. I hope this helps you guys out with making portable stuff.

Convert Video To Gifs

Okay, I'm going to provide an overview on how to create animations with Virtualdub and Imageready.
Well, be creating this:


Shot of red fire!! created Renji >.<

Before you start, here's what you need:

1. Virtualdub
2. ImageReady : Here

3. Create a folder on your desktop...called "BEC" (as u like)
4. Once you extract the Virtualdub file into the folder, double-click the file and click on run

Go to File---> open Video File.....(or CONTROL + O)



Now the movie loads in 2 screens, we don't really need to pay attention to it.
Just make sure you resize them so that you can edit the time line.

Go to the desired timeframe and press [Mark in] (the begin of your image sequence). After that, keep clicking [Key next] until you think the action has stopped. After that click [Mark out] (the end of your image sequence)

I suggest that the frames shouldn't be any longer than 200 of frames. 100 frames is my standard maximum, any more and it can cause some serious loading issues.

-Next step: save the image sequence

Go to "save image sequence"

You will save the images to your "BA" folder (Or any folder you like the images to be in) on your desktop

*.tga is recommend it will keep the images smallest.

And if you look in your "BA" folder, you will see the images from
bleach0000001.tga to bleach0000100.tga

Open the program ImageReady go to "Import-->Folder As Frames"



You should see something along this line. It's the program opening up the files.



Go (above in the toolbar) to image > imagesize and reduce it to 130 x 98 (or use your own settings)



The file size should now be 130 X 98



Just look to this image, you will understand where all the images are coming from. Upperleft bar is the preview window, the bar below is the timeframe, the bar on the right is the layer frame. We will only use the timeframe in this tutorial.

That's pretty small size for a gif animation so you won't need to be edited. However, if the file was large we would have to reduce it.

Removing frames is the simplest way to reduce size.



Select a frame, and hold shift till the last frame you want to delete. And press the recycle bin.
And remove the frames

Now edit the refreshrate of the images, i used 0.02 seconds. (delay time)

Same..click the 1st frame..press n hold shift.



Note that..from 100 frames..i deleted 70 frames...!!

After that *GO TO File --> save optimized as renji.gif





Edit : To add borders.

select the rectangle tool and go to the top where you see style.

choose 3-point black inner no fill and make a rectangle over your gif
then choose 2 point white inner no fill and make another rectangle
finally choose 1 point black inner no fill and make one last rectangle

and there you go....
