Wallpapers

Greetings all. In the past I've undertaken some extremely ambitious creative projects. While the needed skills in undertaking those particular projects have been relatively minimal I've run into little snags here and there, particularly with time management and going overboard in some form. Past examples of this particular incidents include spending 2 days designing a Crab spider HUD for what will probably amount to 2 frames in an upcoming comic and trying to do a full cell shade style for an entire comic series. In short, I have a tendency to either take on more then I can handle or, as my father says, go around my elbow to get my thumb. Well, I've decided to try to enhance my skills, both in a creative capacities and with regard to time management. So, here is what I'm going to do.

In the past I made an open offer to anyone, who wanted to take me up on it, for me to make a wall paper for their toon(s). I am re-opening that opening that offer with the following addendum:

I will accept up to 3 requests at a time, with each request to be expected to be completed and put up for download with in 30 days of the request being made.

So, if you request that I make a Wall-paper of your toon on the 11th of August, I would have until the September 9th to complete your wall-paper and notify you of it's completion.

I would accept up to 2 more requests in that same time span and would have to decline additional requests until I have completed one or more of my currently standing requests.

Here are exampled of my prior Wall Papers.

So, if you are interested in submitting your toon(s) to my tender expiramentive care here is what I will need:

• A demo file of your intended character. (I will provide instructions on how to acquire this)
• the characters name
• Some background on your character. I don't need a full bio like 1-2 paragraphs. Just enough to give me a taste of your character.

I will do 1 wall-paper per request, not necessarily 1 toon per request. so if you have 2 toons who are mortal enemies, different version of the same toon, Characters that would normally work as a team, or anything like that, that would count as 1 request. if you have any questions or would clarification on something, please post them here or PM me. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I will post the data that I accept someone's request in this thread.



To get a demo file of your character:

1. Log onto the character you need the demo for.
2. When you are in-game, press [ENTER] and type the following "/demorecord [character_name]" substituting your characters name for [character_name]. if the character has multiple words in their name, you need to include the underscore.
   For example: I go to make a demo record of my Brute "Torroes Prime" My command will be /demorecord Torroes_prime.
3. Count to 10.
4. press [ENTER] again and type the following command "/demostop"
5. Log out of the game.
6. go into your file explorer and go to C:/program files/City of Heroes/ (If you installed CoH in a different directory, substitute as needed)
7. Go to the folder labeled "Client_demos"
8. Look for a cohdemo file in the Client_demos folder that is named as your character. In my example it would be Torroes_prime.cohdemo
9. Right click on the file and open it with Notepad.
10. do a search (CTRL+F) for "PLAYER" This will tell you the entry for your toon.
11. The Code I need is 29 lines long, and start with "NEW" and your characters name. The last line of it will have a "PARTSNAME" command in it. Select all 29 lines of code and copy it.
12. Paste that code in a PM to me or post it here in this thread.
13. Here is an example of the code for my brute Torroes Prime:

    The numbers will probably be different for your toon. It won't matter. Just copy and past everything from the line containing "NEW" for to the last line with "PARTSNAME" in it. It should be 29 lines in total.
14. If you encounter some difficulty with this, or simply don't feel up to rooting around in your hard drive to find the file, contact me via PM and we'll set up a time and place we can meet online and I can grab the demo file of your intended toon myself.
