Hi, I'm a (yet another) new guy

Gretin · #1 01-03-2005, 05:03 PM

Hi everyone, I am Gretin and I'm new and I guess this is all I have to say!
So, hi everyone!

EDIT: I think this ended up in the wrong place
EDIT AGAIN: Okay, now it is in the right place

Languor · #2 01-03-2005, 05:09 PM

Heya! Welcome to OWF! Glad to have you.

Well you posted in the somewhat-right forum, so you shouldn't get flamed too badly. :P

AquaticAmbi · #3 01-03-2005, 05:16 PM

Gosh, what's with all the new people not knowing where to post their welcomes lately? But no worries, Gretin. Someone will be happy to move it for you soon. (You use punctuation and good grammer, so that earns you some points to make up for this little goof, anyway.

)

Welcome to OWF! Enjoy your stay and try not to spam and all shall be fine.

Oddly Insane · #4 01-03-2005, 05:27 PM

Welcome and stay ODD

Gretin · #5 01-03-2005, 05:29 PM

Sorry about that

, I usually try and obey rules but what happened was: I was viewing one of the welcome threads that was already there (and in the right place), then I must have clicked back twice accidentally and clicked on new topic there! Oh well, I guess someone will move it soon.

God, if I was this Gretin guy I'd be puking at the sight of the word "spam" by now. Don't you think we could lay off him for a while? And by "a while" I mean, like, forever?!

plzkthx.

Greetings Gretin. I am mawk.

Like the Daleks with bling. Chamone.

No, that's okay, I receive spam into my email box so I can understand you people hating it. Anyway, thanks for the welcome, now I have a question to ask (which I hope isn't too stupid

). Okay, I am planning to make an oddworld mod for starcraft, what I want to know is:
1)Is it worth starting a thread to see what everyone thinks of the idea and also to try and get a little bit of help?
2)If it is worth it, where would I put the said thread?
Thanks in advance.

mawk · #12 01-03-2005, 09:10 PM

Starcraft is a bitch to mod because of those uber heavily encrypted mopaq files that blizzard use to try to stop modding. So either bloody good luck to you, or no it's not really worth it.

I tried making a spaceship mod of Diablo II and it made love to me in the curryhole against my own will 'cause my project was obviously too ambitious.

Although having said that, I've seen all sorts of wierd mods for Starcraft. But then again, they all involved quite complex reconstruction of the unit and structure graphics.

Fuzzle Guy · #13 01-03-2005, 11:09 PM

Welcome anyway! Ignore Mawk, he's like tha all the time

Well, I think I'm up to that - I've got all the necessary software and so far I haven't got any ideas that I don't know how to work them. But I think I might start on it and see how it goes and then if it works alright I'll mention it somewhere here. Anyway, I think this might be getting a bit off topic

Rich · #15 01-04-2005, 02:01 AM

Welcome. I like You. You should fit in well, what with all that correct spelling and punctuation.

Lol... Do you introduce yourself in this manner in real life too?

***Alcar*** · #16 01-04-2005, 05:42 AM

Welcome!

I see you can spell and punctuate correctly, so no worries from me

Hope to see you post more in the future.

Alcar...

I'm all out of insults.

Where in the hell is Jacob when you actually need him?

Damn.

Yeah, great, you're not as stupid as some of the other people who have joined in the past couple of weeks...Stand tall!

Ignore me? Why should he want to ignore me? I just supported him by telling you lot to piss off and stop accusing him of being a spammer...

Maybe you should leave it to him to decide who he ignores and who he doesn't ignore eh? Considering that he has his own brain I'm sure that he is well capable of that.

RELOAD!

Well if you can do it then go for it. I've seen some amazing mods for Starcraft, so I think you'll get nothing but support from this community. Best place to post it would be in General Discussion.

No. o_0

Freckin' greetings...hum, I could say more but..nah

Velcome to ze forum. I am Pedro, an Italian bank manager who was born in Sweden, but I adopted the German accent on a trip there. Velcome once again.
I like to blow up cats.

I'm not really Pedro. You probably guessed that already. Well if you did, you outsmarted me. I'm going back to my cave

Anyways, welcome to OWF. OWF goes under many aliases, but I think I should bring two of them to your attention: "That F-ing Dump" and "Sh*thole". Please feel free to use those two aliases when talking about this forum to friends and family.

Good Fry!

Oddish · #21 01-05-2005, 08:19 AM

Welcome to the forums Gretin.

Yes, oddworld is full of suprises.

Gretin · #23 01-05-2005, 02:47 PM

Wow, lots of people have seen this since I was here last... I couldn't get on yesterday, for some reason it kept saying there was a problem with the database. But everything's working now so that's good

.

That's good, I've been called a 'nerd' for it before - well, not exactly, it was actually for correcting someone else's spelling, but still...

Will do, as long as I don't have any trouble like I did yesterday!

Hmmm, that could be interesting: "I was just posting a thread in this neat forum called 'that f-ing dump"!

Well, I guess I've finished, so now to get back to work on my signature.

The Shadowman · #24 01-05-2005, 03:10 PM

Hey if you need a signature pic check out Godlesswander's and my thread (even though it is mostly his) called the signature request thread in suggestions forum

Gretin · #25 01-05-2005, 03:47 PM

No, that's okay, I've already got one. Now I have a question that's probably going to sound really really really dumb, but "how do I upload a photo from my computer to my signature?"

The Shadowman · #26 01-05-2005, 03:56 PM

well yosee the forum are a picky thing so it has to be one the internet somewhere, so you have to go to one og those image dumping sites like photodump.com and make an account with one of them click upload, browse your computer for where you saved the file and put if in where it wants the file to upload, so once that is done click on the picture of your image, highlight the text and right click an select copy, then click your user CP and click edit signature once you do that do this type [img] paste your highlighted test here [/img] save your signature and that it!

Gretin · #27 01-05-2005, 04:39 PM

Oh, okay, thanks for the tip! So, what do you think? Only trouble is that 'brand' in the top left corner. Oh well, can't have everything!

The Shadowman · #28 01-05-2005, 04:44 PM

Well there are some involved ways to get rid of the branding if you really don't want it. I love that font you used
