Can I make a request for some buttons?

I need the following for a Mod I'm working on (I don't have the ability to anything graphical or modeling, but I can edit things, so I'm completely dependant upon others for the material I can work with). And it's a long list of buttons I need :(

Biplane
Biplane With a Bomb being Dropped (different color biplane)
Biplane flying off a Carrier
Biplane With a Bomb being Dropped (different color biplane) flying off a Carrier
Original fighter button made to like like flying off a carrier
1950's era Jet fighter
1950's era Jet fighter flying off a Carrier
1950's era Jet bomber
1950's era Jet bomber flying off a Carrier
The Stealth bomber button with a red radiation symbol added to it.
Cruiser
Aegis Cruiser
WW2 Style Aircraft Carrier
A Modern Destroyer
Ship 'o Line
Man 'o War
Privateer
Trireme
Nuclear Sub
Medical Transport (transport button with Red Cross added)

Of course, if someone could write me pm or post a could tutoial that any idiot like myself could follow (specifically saying what programs I need etc) i could do it myself and save everyone the trouble and then post my work for anyone to use. :)

Start by downloading The Gimp. (www.gimp.org) It's an open-source (free) image editor like Photoshop. There are tutorials on their site or on GIMP Talk. (www.gimptalk.com) Do a Google search for the DDS plugin which will let you edit and save DDS files.

I found it this weekend but haven't had a chance to play with it. I'll be able to tonight (can't fricken wait until tommorrow when I get internet service at the house). After that, do I just pick an image and make it a certain size saved as a .dds?

Thanks a ton for my Avatar button Duke. I love it!

I´m happy you like it!

Btw: As i looked at the pics name i found it to be a picture of the pied piper (Rattenfänger von Hameln) from a german tale.

Great job with all of these buttons Duke!

What exactly is that avatar supposed to be woodelf?

I found it off of a Jethro Tull fansite and loved it. I have no idea what it really is other than like Duke said, a Pied Piper or Ian Anderson depiction.

The pic was called Rattenvanger of Hameln!

He has been absorbed into the World of Woodelf now! Now I need to get some Tull into some mods!

Nice update Duke. Those are awesome. :thumbsup:

Duke van Frost
Apr 16, 2006, 01:27 PM
Nah! I really don´t like most of them, could have spent some more time on them and searching for better pictures.

But I thought maybe someone could make use of those - doesn´t hurt anybody if they are uploaded!

Top notch stuff as always Duke. I might switch my avatar to one of your elves now!

Duke van Frost
May 16, 2006, 07:45 AM
Now, if you, Woodelf yourself, like my elf-buttons that much (to even think about using one of them as your avatar) - itīs the biggest compliment I can get :D

I feel like a :king:

thx, you made my day!

Keep up the god work man.

Damn I hate typing too fast!

If you could convert the 2nd WEeternal to photosuite or whatever you did for me before I'd use it! I tried to convert it, but it was too big for the CFC... :confused:

Damn I hate typing too fast!

Can happen if you write about 20 posts a day (like you seem to do ;) )

I hope you meant and like this one:

126945

or you can take the small one:

126946

woodelf

Small one looks perfect Duke.

edit - you still have my email?

Duke van Frost
May 16, 2006, 09:57 AM
yepp, but it´s faster this way!

woodelf
May 16, 2006, 10:45 AM
:confused:

So are you uploading the smaller one?

Duke van Frost
May 16, 2006, 11:39 AM
heh? Just right-click and save the image!

No need for a zip when itīs a single file and images show up this way, when uploaded and attached :crazyeye:

woodelf
May 16, 2006, 12:11 PM
I guess it's been a long day. ;)

Updated the 3rd post with some promotions.

Rabbit, White
May 17, 2006, 06:14 AM
Oh these are awesome Duke. I especially love the pawprint and the banners, and I love how you did the pole of the banner by just highlighting it, like its pushing from behind - not only does it show that it's there but also adds more dimension to the banner itself. :goodjob:

woodelf
May 17, 2006, 06:26 AM
I agree with Rabbit...those promotion buttons are super!
