Update the map .gif on the homepage

by **Army of GOD** on Fri Jul 23, 2010 6:32 pm

Concise description:

See title

Specifics/Details:

Throw a few more maps on it or at least CHANGE the maps on it

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Having the same maps up there the whole time is lamesauce. Also, there are only 9 maps on there and that doesn't really reflect the amount of mappage on this site.
It's a pretty quick fix...all you have to do is update the picture

Example:

Makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since I joined over a year ago...

You've only been here a year? God, it seems so much longer than that...

Where have I heard this suggestion before...hmmmmm

It definitely needs to be updated.

King_Herpes mentioned it I think...

Yeah, this would take nearly no time at all, to do-up, and it would be a nice new aesthetic.

I'll support this if I can get one of my maps in there

I think that when the homepage graphic was first made, lack had to get the permission from the mapmaker before they could put it there and not all of them gave that permission. That's why there are only a couple of maps besides the original 5.

But when was the last time it was updated? I'm sorry, but I know there are much more visually appealing maps than "D-Day" and the "Far East". I mean, Natty already said he WANTS his maps up there, and I'd really love to see WWII Europe by qwert (that map just looks awesome) and a bunch of others.

SO many maps have been created since them...we should at least contact the mapmakers and see if they'll allow it.

why don't CC staff make a contest?

by **Army of GOD** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 1:37 am

So can lack just do this really quickly?

Perhaps I should make one and show it off.

Clearly, we are paying him too much. <grin>

They all ready have permision to use maps, and its will be nice that at least one mine map be in home page. Also i notice in other several sites that they use mine maps to display,without mine permision,and these mean that copyright its look that not worth here.

If this is seriously happening (at other sites), I suggest that THIS site should take action.

Couldn't qwert sue, considering he owns the map?

by **Army of GOD** on Sat Sep 18, 2010 9:20 pm

Well, here ya go. I'll post in the OP too. I took what I thought were the most eye-appealing maps and obviously this can be changed. I didn't ask permission from all of the mapmakers yet, but I didn't see the point if this sugg gets shot down quickly anyway.

Also, I'm kind of hoping that the white in the image can blend in with the white background on the homepage. I'm no wizard with GIMP and it can probably be fixed, but I'm unsure on how to.

by **Queen_Herpes** on Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:52 pm

Doo-blay ecronay! Well done. I'm hoping we can update the Army of GOD on the Army of GOD page.

In all seriousness, though, the player who came up with this suggestion is correct. The mip.gaf on the homepage needs to be updated.
