That's true. But do you mean he doesn't need a new banner? Or do you mean the convention of a standard banner?

Is this Marney up to his old tricks again?!

I had a pretty good haul over the weekend. I managed to Legend twice and get to level 40. Might still have some time to get to level 50. I unlocked a couple of characters and mounts. I don't know why I bothered tbh, it wasn't for any trophies or anything. I think I actually did it for...fun O_o. lol

Yeah after taking a sleep, i actually hate the last banner i just made xD i made it at 2am and it shows! dunno what i was thinking last night. I normally create clean flat images. Went overboard on the bevel lmao! One think i do like is the images i used in it. I prefer them to some of the ones in the last banner. anyway, i might have a go later at something a bit more standard. Also, you definitely want the blue saturation right?

Ok i had a go at another banner after reading your last post Psy. Any improvements on this one? I actually layered it over the home page whilst making it to see how i could develop it.

I personally feel that the pricedown font gives the website a GTA authenticity, therefore I used it on this banner. What do you think of it? I just found a bunch of different ENB series pictures of GTAIV and just mashed them together for now, i was going for more the layout rather than the actual imagery atm. Oh and the Buttons are in Verdana too

A shame the boxing match was crap.

That's not a bad idea Mass! If done well it'd look real gritty and fit the GTA theme really well. I feel a mock-up itching to come out! something like this?

It's looking better. But here are some negative points i think could be changed: - Fonts. The banner, buttons, navigation hyper-links, and the main text all have different fonts by the look of it. Maybe you should think about having one unified font for the lot with an exception for the banner. - Background image. The background image on either side of the main body look a bit out of place now, as the brick wall is quite busy looking. Maybe have the background a solid but desaturated colour so it doesn't fight with the brick tile for attention? - Banner. I know you said you were thinking of changing it, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Yeah the banner is one of the most important aspects as it's the first thing most people look at when they load up your website. So definitely work out a nice looking banner which will instantly say "This is GTA". You most likely already know all this, but sometimes it's nice to hear it from someone else.

Nice. I was doing Solomon's Folly for the first part, mainly because it's quick and small. But I think I'll be doing some Pike's Basin runs today.

Yeah exactly^ It took me the same amount of time to get from 1-25 as it did get from 25-30 lol.

When i first started building it, the full length was around 150cm from pommel to blade tip. It may have changed a bit since then though. I think it may have got a bit longer. @Zacko - thanks buddy

Wow, another Vet pulled back up from the bowels of hell! Welcome back Psycho.

Well i just played for half an hour and got from level 1 to 25 Not bad for a single session.

It's a date. I'll be there too if you guys wanna do some grinding?

The gauntlet sounds interesting, I may do that at a later date. For now I'm still finishing up on the in-game model which is only 800 poly's Here is a couple of real-time images of the electric broadsword: I'm just working on the textures atm.

Haha, do it! I want pics! lol. I should be around for a few games over the weekend. I wonder how quick it will take to pass legend on quad xp? Coz I'm already level 50 prestige 2 i think. But I've been there for ages. I feel like starting over from level 1, so prestige is more than likely for me this weekend. Also, is the xp for competitive only or does it count on freeroam gang hideouts too?

Hmm, sounds tempting!!!

No, your battery pack would deliver DC and DC power is not that potent. 30-50 mA on the heart is fatal if we talk about AC power (120 V). For DC power, I don't know how much ampere you need in order to kill. *is googling* 300-500 mA DC power can cause cardiac arrest. So direct current is weaker? That seems odd, but ok. So i'd be better putting 100mA-500mA on the dial. What about the voltage for DC? I'm only asking this because I have no idea how a wireless Tesla alternative would work, unless Mass would like to explain.

I don't know much about how electrical components work, I just tried to make it look like it would work from a fantasy perspective. I was thinking along the lines of what demon said, like a battery pack in the grip with a power dial on the butt of the grip, with an unscrew-able pommel. Would 100 volts with a gradual dial of 10mA - 100mAmps be strong enough to kill a person? Mass, how would a wireless external pack work?

The ones that say tiled next to them do. The rest are just images i think. I could tile one for you if you find a nice one. Also, I'll help with graphics if you need me I need to re-layout my website at some point anyway, so it'll be good to get back into it!

http://cgtextures.com/ - Plenty of free to use tiled brick images on here. It requires a free membership, but if can't be bothered, you could tell me any you want, i could get them for you...

I see your point Demon. What i meant really was the colour and layout of gta4.tv I'm sure it could be done clean and low graphics a bit like igrandtheftauto.com , I guess I'm a fan of the classic layout.

I think you should just make it look alot like gta4.tv as Mass suggested. It looked the most "GTA" themed out of all of your websites. Another thing i think may be a good idea is to integrate the website look into the forums. As the forums feel too separate to the website at the moment.... Just a suggestions. Also, thegtaplace.com have a really slick layout i think. I like the buttons on the header image. Dunno if that helps much. gtaunderground.com have a nice slim page, which looks quite nice too.

image is broked.
