Also Blender has procedural textures.. http://www.blender.org/development/rele ... -textures/

Yet another reason to start learning blender I think I will soon see if I can take a few days to learn it (the basics of it )

[andrewbuck]

Wikibooks has a book called "Blender 3d Noob to Pro" which is an excellent series of tutorials. That's how I learned a lot of what I know about blender.

To xapantu: where you able to use what I posted some days ago? (the borders and textures) Would love to see how it looks, and finish it up

[xapantu]

I saw your images very quickly (I haven't the time now) but I think I can use them.
But don't forget to post the SVG because if you forget to post one image, I could export it.

[svenskmand]

Ok, thats all right, no hurry, you can show me when you have time

I will do that, but currently I only have a svg for the borders you already have. I do not know how the buttons on the top are rendered compared to the topBorder, so I have not made these buttons yet. I can post the svg's that I have - that is for the mock shots and the topBorder and leftBorder. I will do this when I get home, later tonight.

I started the skin (just started ) :
The rocks texture is great and I think I can use others images.

edit : and for the text font ?

Cool , I look forward to seeing the screenshots.

What do you mean?

[svenskmand]

I will also post you the svg of the logo, I think the links for that disappeared with the old forum.

[xapantu]

Also I would still very much appreciate if you would take a screenshot of the current wiki page an then mark/color each area where there should be a picture, and give me the height and width of the areas. I need that information currently to be able to make the buttons; page, discussion, edit, history, ..., on the top of the wiki.

very quickly :

It would be great if you could skin all elements which are in this page (it's the default mediawiki skin) + the footer (scroll to the bottom)
You can change the skin for your account :
Go to My preferences (top right)
Skin
Mono book

[xapantu]

Oops, I didn't see your replies.
For the text font, they are the same as titles (e.g. for paragraph).

For more details, maybe you can connect to the irc chatroom : http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=opendungeons (I will go out in ~ 30 min)

[svenskmand]

Ok, I will try and make the top buttons, and the sidebar on the left. Is there any more elements?

[svenskmand]

I misunderstood what the page in you link from IRC was for. I thought that I could input URL's to textures and then see how the wiki-design would look, but I see now that I was only a link to a screenshot. All the fields containing URL's in the bottom of the page confused me :S, along with all the text being in French :S

[svenskmand]

Here is a tab to use for the edit, talk, ... It is transparent in the bottom so it should blend nicely with the top border, the end of the blending should be at the start of the dark shadow of the topBorder.

[andrewbuck]

That looks really cool svenskmand. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks. Yeah me too

[xapantu]

Yes, it was the begining of the skin
I will put the skin (the begining ) on sourceforge soon.
Thanks for your images, I am going to add these to the skin.

But all tab haven't the same size ?

Heh, oh yeah. I will make some more sizes tonight

[Bodsda]

Any idea when we might see this uploaded to the wiki? I cant wait.

Well I have not made the last tabs, yet. But will do it soon, I am preparing for a exam (it is monday) so I do not have much time until then. But I will make the missing tabs in next week, that is for sure

[svenskmand]

I will be making the last missing components of the skin tomorrow night

[svenskmand]

Xapantu: Here are the menus and tabs and stuff, looking forward to see how it looks

I do not know if the text colors are good enough, but I played around with it, you are welcome to try out other colors as well if you do not like them

I will upload the SVG's and stuff when I find a place to put it. It takes 22.1 MiB for everything I have, and the forum apparently does not like files that big

[xapantu]

great ! I will try to make the skin soon !
Just a suggestion : you forget to specify the size of titles.

[svenskmand]

I think the standard font sizes are fine. But we can always change them if they are not right. But lets see how it looks first I cannot wait

[svenskmand]

Xapantu: When you make the skin, could you also change the the download link in the left sidepanel to start with a capital letter? It has annoyed me a long time, I do not know how to change it
