[Guide] Forum Rank Images

[Trekkie101]

So your moderators, your global moderators and your admins all have funky and cool stars, but what about other membergroups and special people? Well thats easy, create the membergroups and set your permissions up. Now lets change the images

Admin Panel -> Edit Membergroups -> Modify (click modify on the membergroup you want to change the colour for)

Right so your faced with an edit screen, now look for "Star image filename:" and in that box directly across from it is a file name, now to change the colour we must give it a new file name.


Big Stars
1staraqua.gif
1stargold.gif
1starlime.gif
1starorange.gif
1starpink.gif
1starpurple.gif
1starred.gif
Now to use one of theme, what you do is take the filename listed at the side there example "1staraqua.gif" and put that in the filename box replacing what ever is in there (without quotes ofcourse)

Musical Notes
2music.gif
2music1.gif
2music2.gif
2music3.gif
Now to use one of theme, what you do is take the filename listed at the side there example "1staraqua.gif" and put that in the filename box replacing what ever is in there (without quotes ofcourse)


Small Stars
3cyan.gif
3green.gif
3invert.gif
3orange.gif
3palegreen.gif
3purple.gif
3red.gif
3yellow.gif

Now to use one of theme, what you do is take the filename listed at the side there example "1staraqua.gif" and put that in the filename box replacing what ever is in there (without quotes ofcourse)


Hope you have a more individual and colourful board now

There may be more rank images in future, so keep an eye out.

How to use your own Rank Images
   

[Sky Fi]

Very nice. Hmm, could you tell me how to put 5 stars and not 1 star?

[Jessie]

It should say "Number of Star Images" or somthing like that, change it to 1 for 1 star; 2 for 2 stars..So on and so forth.

How do I make my OWN? Like, how do I make a custom one?

I make rank images for people all the time and I must say I enjoy it much!

First thing I use is paint to get rid of the text already on the rank image. I do this to a bunch of rank images and save them in a folder.

Then, using JASC animation, I use the text option and insert the text near the middle of the image.

I have never tried this before on GIMP (even though I do have it), up to you on what you want to do,Stricken1337
