More Wonders

Problem is RGB is 4 channels to itself (RGB, red, blue, green) and Alpha makes 5.

If you include RGB as a channel then you have a limit of five channels. Just save the dds format as 8.8.8.8 ARGB 32 BPP/ Unsigned. And make sure you've enabled alphas before that.

Wow! I had actually been looking at that building yesterday on Wiki, I'll do a double release CN tower and that this weekend!

I'm guessing you're talking about my new avatar? I'll send it to you if you like it the way it is, or would you like some tweaks to it first?

I was talking about Sneaks' Abraj Al Bait Towers, but your avatar looks pretty epic too. Although Sneaks makes a good point about a bit of blurryness. But, if you don't mind, would you be able to convert his icon for it to the five .dds? Last time I did it didn't end well *coughTeotihuacan-HUGE-cough*
 
sukritact - official .dds guardian of incompetent splash image wonder makers (I spent probably 45 minutes trying to make that abraj icon into a dds)
 
You calling me incompotent? :D

Anyway, great to see the activity and vibe in this topic, really pleased about it all now.


Can I just ask everyone three quick questions, Do you use the front page at all, what do you think of the new front page layout, and what do you think of the new wonder post style?

I guess I am having issues enabling alphas then. Every time I think I have it set with an alpha layer, nope.

To answer your 3 questions:
- I never use the front page. I check this when it shows up in my User Control Panel as being replied to
- I like the layout, except where your second column has wonders listed way to the right of the screen
- whats the new style? The 3 image thing seems to work really well
 
- I didn't expect people to, but I like to keep it fancy for newcomers
- That's an issue with the [Float=right] tag I used, I'll try to fix it
- The new style I just realised hasn't been used fully in this topic yet, mainly in an alpha version in the Korean Wonders Pack topic.

EDIT: Is the list for #2 better now?
 
Sneaks makes a good point about a bit of blurryness.
Avatars i upload always seem to be ridiculously blurry. :(
How'd you do yours pouakai, it doesn't look blurry at all.

would you be able to convert his icon for it to the five .dds?
No problem, i'll work on it and send it to you.

1. I often use the front page, i keep forgetting what icons i have to make, it's good you keep it interesting though.
2. I liked it, but the recent change makes it show up weird....
 
I took the .png you gave me, put it on MS Word with the page background colour the one we need here, then took a print screen, cropped and uploaded.

What do you mean by 'wierd'? Could you post a screen please?

This is what i mean
 
It worked! :)

Awesome!

Okay, wandered around wikipedia, what about:
Joya de Ceren,
the Nazca lines,
or the Tomb of Askia (would be great, since the Songhai are in under him).

Wow! The first one could be a bit 'iffy' for reasons previously mentioned - it's more of a city than a wonder, it would be like having 'Pompeii' as a wonder. The other two are good though, I really like the Nazca lines, I don't know why I didn't think of them earlier!

I think this is one of the wonders you needed updates to for BMF.

Awesome, great job Sneaks! One thing though, any chance you could modify the spillway and white water so there is some detail there and it's not just blown out?
