Mod to Member ratio... (Current Discussion: Forum Specific Images)

[Lady Vulpix]

Huh, is it just me or do Mods/Admins have the same rank display now that all users have? Going to Mods' member pages has the Pokéballs and rank over on the right side where us normal members' post-based rank is.

Yes, that's what I fixed last night.

Plus, all mods seem to have their Pokéballs now on top of any custom user title they have.

You're imagining things. The ranks are below the custom user title.

Heh, I meant "on top of" as the figurative phrase meaning "in addition to." I can see that they're below the custom titles.

In my attempts at making either Great or Ultra balls, I have only met with annoyance because the Pokéballs are not a head-on shot. I'm having trouble putting the yellow lines on the Ultra and the red tabs on the Great. No matter how I do them, it always looks awkward and wrong…

Do you have a small marble or something? I like to create physical models sometimes in order to get a better idea of what it should look like.

I was trying to figure out how to make that work, then I realized what I was doing wrong. Hard to describe, so I'll just show what I have to offer for an Ultra Ball:



Still having trouble with the Great Ball, but that's because it actually has extended tabs that don't fit within the confines of the sphere. I'll be giving it another shot in a minute.

EDIT: Just realized it doesn't have the same shine as the Pokéballs that have already been made…gonna try to fix that too.

EDIT2: Okay, updated the image. *points above*

I see. The left hand line is off on the Ultraball. It looks too 'straight angled' instead of curved. The right hand side of it looks fine, though (aside from the shine that you are fixing).

The thing is, if you look head-on at a Great Ball, the lines go straight, as in there is no curving besides going around the ball. Which means, I actually messed up on the design anyway. >.< Ugh, this is getting frustrating…

EDIT: Of course, one alternative is to use the game's Pokéballs, but (a) they're not the same style and (b) they're 18x18, which would be an entire 16 extra pixels wider for mods.

I know they appear straight, but you know they have to curve.

I think if you tweak it a little more, it will look fine. I'd rather keep size consistency.
