Carcassonne Central

This doesn't seem to fit under The Workshop, so I put this post here instead....

The 'userbars' or 'mini-sigs' (like this -      (http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/7277/20823rv9.png) (http://www.userbars.be) )   are quite popular on the web and in forums. 

As a former 'signature maker' I used to make custom userbars all the time.  Having not been able to find a Carcassonne userbar....I made one   ;D

Feel free to grab a copy or, if you want something more customized, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Hi, do you think you can make three for me?  I want the something similar to your "Carcassonne Player" banner with the Carcassonne C, but with different text and images.

1. Forest background, perhaps with a cherry icon and woodman guild (acorn) icon (but not compulsory), text = Forest Player
2. Rivers flowing diagonally on a green background, perhaps with the oyster icon and the fisherman guild (white diamond) icon (but not compulsory), text = Fisherman Player
3. Mountains background, text = Mountains Player

Thanks in advance :)

Something along these lines?  This is just a quick go so if you'd like changes, it's no prob - for example, if you'd like the background scaled a bit smaller?

Those are good enough!  Can I just use them off your imageshack link?

You can....but I guess it depends if you're going to use all 3 at the same time or if you want to interchange them.
There are only so many characters supported in our signatures....so....you will max out at some point  :D
Or, you could make all 3 into 1 in PS and then upload it to Imageshack.

I had actually been messing around with the idea of mini expansion bars, like this one:

This way you could put up your favorite expansions as an extension to the Carc Player one I made....dunno  F:)
I'm open to ideas....

I think I can fit all 3 in the signature, and I just realised my mistakes :(

Could you make Forest and Fisherman plural please (i.e. Forests and Fishermen)?  Thanks.

I really like the little expansion bars... maybe make I&C, T&B, P&D, A&M (which you have done), the tower, catapult, CK&C, GQ etc. all separate so people may display all the expansions they have?

Also a little off-topic, a Catan userbar would also be nice... ;)

I second that motion! Use the art for the next box, though. I hated the old box art.

I'm not a Catan player....are you talking about this art here:  http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/268839

Yes, that it the latest (and best) box front...

some examples of hexes are also:

Fields: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/438384
Pasture: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/438383
Forest: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/438382
Hills: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/428114
Harbours: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/428142

These are from the 5-6 player expansion... there are too many images for the base game to sort through, but these work fine...

If you make an "I have got it all" I will consider using it ;)

That was an easy one  :D

I'll try to get the other requests done ASAP....sorry, this one jumped the queue because I couldn't resist.

Great thread :D

Ocean player?

These kinda got away from me too while I was away   :(

I'll get the amendments done (for Novelty) and new requests done as well.
Stay tuned.
Any other requests, please post them here and I'll get to them.....I should have some time tonight.
:D

For those who want to get creative themselves:

Userbar Designer (http://designer.userbars.com/)

Userbar Animator (http://animator.userbars.com/)

Not sure if this was what you had in mind.....tough to find a good piece of the box art to use.

If there is a specific part or picture you want used, let me know and I can change it easily.
 ;D

Done and while I was at it I tried animating it......

Thoughts?   :??

Thanks!  It looks good!

No problem.  They can be sped up or slowed down too....just don't ask me to synchronize the 2 separate bars   :o
(I could make them all into one though....)

This might make the signature a bit too long if someone were to use all their little ones......hmmm, *idea* ....let me see what I can do with this one. 

   Done, pls see above   :D

I'm trying to figure out what the "Fisherman Player" graphic is, looks like a white plate with some eggs on it?

Novelty asked for:

Your 'white plate' would be the oyster icon   ;D

ahhhhhh thanks, I missed that :)

I always block animated signatures (and avatars). Always. If something moves on my screen without me having asked for it, something is wrong. ;)

I agree. Kind of think the animated ones are distracting.

Looks good...
