Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Greetings All !
Last December I made some signatures for myself, as I noticed I'd taken hundreds of screenshots during one month of playing this game. Don't even ask me how MUCH space that took up on HD.
Anyway I posted some of the shots at the .org and with a few I made myself some sigs, and here they are.
If anyone wants to use them please feel free to do so.
Be aware that my GFX card is old and the quality isn't that great but if you like one, go right ahead and use it. Remember to check if the size is 500*150, 10KB max (as per the forum rules).
If you do use it I'd prefer if you uploaded it to your own imageshack, photobucket etc. But if you have to just copy the link and paste it.
As my favorites are Turks, and I love horses, most of these images reflect that. Some have my name on them, this can easily be removed in Photoshop though, so help yourself if you want to.
I've added a brief description of what's happening in each shot, in case it's not obvious to all.
Salute ! and GAME ON !!!

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
You are worthy of your status, Sinan. :bow:
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Thanks for the compliment EDYZ, status means little to me.
I am very grateful for the recognition I've received from this community over the years.
If I can share, help or make someone happy that's worth more to me than any status.
Sounds corny, I know !
:bow:
Added commentary for each shot.
I should buy a better card/PC and get into GFX heavy. I love Photoshop, not that I'm any good at it though (LOL!).
I've also posted this at the twc:

But I posted here first, so you guys would have first choice.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Nice shots! I always seem to forget to take screenshots myself.. probably because I'm too focused on directing my forces... ~;p
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
HAHA ! Thanks DLX.
Well as you know I love screenshots, so I'm usually doing that in between orders ! Multitasking ya know ? !!! ;P
Sorry some are slanted, I might figure out how to change that, but I don't know how right now.
I'd do you an HRE one, but my GFX is le suck. I fried the one I took those screens with and now I have some junk in here, might still be able to pull it off. Do you want one ? You'd probably be able to do a better screenshot than me. You have a better system.
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Multitasking? What's that? ~D I'm a click-by-click guy, but don't tell anybody ~:)
Probably I could do it, but then I don't use signature pics anyway, I just admire the nice scenes, so don't do HRE ones just for me!
Btw, are you able to get into the MP lounge by now?

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Nope, have'nt tried again. I'll try again and let you know.

Okay
Well, the first thing I'd say is take the initial pics on much higher settings.
It really doesn't matter how laggy the game is, as you can always pause it to get the pics smoothly.
I'd also advise a border around the sig, and maybe less of the white 'glow' effect around the top, if that's your doing...
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Thanks a lot R'as. Thanks sapi, I'll try it with less glow and border. I think that's a good idea.
I wanted to make it look like the "light of death" as reported by those who have come back from the edge of life. ;)
Will repost.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
OK I just did this one. These are Heavy Turcoman Horse Archers from the Broken Crescent Mod.
https://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...res/bcsig4.jpg
I'm working on the HRE sig, reducing the glow is fine. However I can't figure out how to add a border... yet.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Excellent stuff. I'm tempted, but I would prefer to use my own creation were I to make one.
Very good work Sinan.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Thanks.
Well if you want to use or improve any that are here, please help yourself.
I'm learning Photoshop, what a great program. Am a newbie though and it takes a while to get grips.
There are also a lot of screenshots here which you can use:

I'm using some, with permission.
Salute !

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Excellent shots, Sinan. You have something of a pro photographer...
About your questions :
smaller size - open the image in IrfanView (you have it, don't you?) and save as jpg - it will open a dialog box letting you adjust the compression level, just drag the slider to the left, about 50-60 should do it for a 500x100 pic.
If that's not enough, remember that jpeg compression works best when :
- the image has large portions of a single color (so use "emptier" screenshots)
- there's fewer colors (adjust color tone until you get it)
- not many sharp edges (blur it a little)
You'll lose sharpness and quality, but eventually anything will fit in 10kb - see samples below.
The last image is one of yours, brought under 10 from 32kb. It doesn't look as good, but it's okay for a sig. The text isn't very readable, so you might want to use thicker/larger fonts and better contrast for the quotes.
borders - well just drag a rectangle in whatever color making sure the size fits the image and the fill is disabled ; for more elaborate borders, you could, for example, crop out the inside of an image, leaving just the outer 5-10 pixels on each side ; then place it over your picture setting the inside color (black, white, whatever) to be transparent. Or do something else entirely :beam:
EDIT : I forgot about his - I have a question of my own : Does anyone know how to get the camera lower than it's default minimum height ? Some screenshots need to be taken almost from the ground level.
NOTE : I don't plan to use the images below so if anyone wants them, they're yours. If you want to customize them, send me a message and I'll post a clean version (without text & my name on it)

Very impressive sigs. Thanks for the tips !
Can I have this one in clean version please ?
https://img170.imageshack.us/img170/...onlabe2oy5.jpg
You can zoom a lot closer. You'd have to install the unofficial 1.20 and enable the movie cam. I've read some conflicting reports about how well it works. I don't have a link handy but will do a search and repost.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
@Sinan - sorry it took me a bit to reply - didn't notice the thread yesterday :grin2:
If you want to add a border in photoshop, create a new layer, select all (ctrl+a), edit > stroke > outside (1px) should do it.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
NP bro. Got it ! Thanks :D
I got a sig request in the meantime. I want to finish that one first as it's a "delivery".
After I finsih that I'll come back to that HRE sig and improve it.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
@Sinan : I'll post that image in this thread as soon as I get home... which unfortunately could be a few days from now (I'm writing this from somebody else's computer).
Don't lose patience, I'll be back.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Danke !
LOL! :D What's your favorite faction ? favorite unit ?
I've played Turks forever now. Actually I'm now looking forward to Abbasids, and SELJUKS (!!!!) in the Broken Crescent mod.
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
I play HRE, but you probably assumed this already. ~;) My favorite unit is most definitely Gothic Knights. Like I stated in the favorite unit thread in the entrance hall, there is something about beautiful heavy armor coupled with powerful steeds and a lance!
Just guessing by your signatures, you seem like a calvary man yourself. What is your favorite Turk unit? ^^
Tschüß!
Erich

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Yes that's true, they are very majestic those Gothic Knights. I always build Armories everywhere whenever I play a Catholic faction, I like playing the HRE too, I LOVE those 2Handers, Forlorn Hope, Gothic Knights. Set those up with a few Basiliks and just enjoy the show...lol.
AUGEN AUF !!!!
https://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...tures/sig4.jpg
In early Islam it was considered unmanly to offer yourself such protection, when the armor of God was omnipotent. Well fortunately they changed that sometime later. But there are some heroes who fought and defeated Byzantines, Paladins, Crusaders, without any armor at all. In fact even at Saladin's time there are illustrations of warriors without armor, generals even. They did fine anyway. Later they were armored too, it's a myth that they did'nt use armor, but it's fact that it was'nt to Gothic or full plate level.
I'm a cavalryman for sure. I like mobility and range, so horse archers would have to be it. I guess Mongol Heavy Horse Archers, Turcoman Horse Archers, Khan's Guard, Mamluk Archers. I get bored walking around.
Actually my vanilla favorites have now been eclipsed by Broken Crescent units such as Heavy Turcoman Archers, the various Persian very HEAVY (in fighting skill) cavalry. Just too many to name. Have a look here and here if you are interested (image heavy links).
Tschüß! ... und bis bald !
EDIT: Added some stuff and deleted the other thread reference as I saw you already posted there.

I know that very well, as I posted in the thread, I had a Teutonic Knights' guild headquarters in Hamburg with an armory capable of producing full plate. Though I love the more streamlined look the DFK gain from full plate.

Byzantium STRIKES BACK !
No problemo.
Hey guys might take me a bit of time but I'll be back with it asap.
Here's some I made since last post, if anyone is a Byzantine fan, shout, I can resize/customise. I've spaced them intentionally so that you have a 1-2 seconds to "grasp" the image and idea before seeing the next one.
ALL feedback always welcome.
Please note that's the best I could come to Tyrian Purple.
And btw who can tell me what this sig represents:
https://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...oors_SigM1.jpg
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Awesome Byzantine pictures! I'm a Byzantine fan but not that huge of one. That very first sig makes me wonder about that though... lol. Good pictures like always.
If you'd like to try some Russian sigs that would be interesting. I'm thinking Tsar's guard doing their thing in the Black Forest map sunrise heavy fog.... lol. My favorite factions Russia so my sig would have to represent that and well.. I have Czar at the begining of my name... lol.
Once again though.. thosse Byzantine pictures are great. I'm sure you could make some good Russian sigs to. Your pics make me want to take screenshots, unfortunately my computer can't read the TGA format.
-
Russian sig specs
Thanks for the feedback Alex. Glad you like em !
I'm getting the screens from a guy who has a max rig with most new skins etc installed. The base is good so you can build on it. That guy is an artist, he takes great screens.
Your specs for the sig are:
- Tsar's guard
- Black Forest
- Sunrise
- Heavy fog
If you want to read TGA you can download Irfanview. It's free. the base image is the most important thing, the better it is the better it can be manipulated. It's even better if you can take the image yourself, that saves asking another person, but it's not obligatory.
Questions:
- What text do you want ?
- Do you want close up or panorama ?
- One or two men or a unit of Tsar's Guard ?
- Combat or non combat ?
- If combat what enemy ?
- Banners or no banners ? (no banners is clearer for close)
- Could you be more precise on "represent Russia well" ?
Give me some time on this yeah.. I'm new to this and it takes me forever to do one.
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
I'll think about it.. I'll come back when I have it all sorted out. Must find some good text... lol. Times not an issue for me so I'll give you your information as quick as I can and wait until it's done. Until then I'll think about it.

One more for the Broken Crescent mod, after this I can do the ones for you guys.

God and my Right, Ruhm Ehre Vaterland
Hi Richard The TigerHeart !
This was quite a challenge but here's my results. What do you think. Feel free to be frank. No obligation to use them if you don't like them. please let me know if you want another or want anything changed and I'll do it. Note loss in quality is inevitable because of sig limits, plus I'm not an expert. the red used here is exactly same red as in the original flag of England (RGB 206, 17, 36)
I made these England sigs as well. Can have any text, which fits. If you want it .. shout !
Jango, Here's the one you asked for on MSN. Is this what you had in mind ? Shoot from the hip, let me know...and GET BACK IN FORMATION ! :clown:

Hi Moriendi !
Thanks very much ! I'm sorry I missed your post earlier. I've modified it like so, wow it's hard to work under 10KB:
These are for Doug-Thompson; one of the greatest contributors for missile cavalry, combined arms and all cavalry tactics the Total War community has ever known. Doug, these can be linked to your guide, like mine is linked to the Broken Crescent forum (if you click my sig...). Might be a good advertising tool for your guide. I can develop this idea further, if it interests you.

HAHHAAHAH !!! REALLY glad you like it mate ! The purple is Tyrian Purple, THE original Byzantine color. It's hard to get that on screen (at least for me lol) anyway I think it's pretty close to the Byzantine purple. That took FOREVER to make, like hours. BELIEVE IT OR NOT !! I'm getting the hang of Photoshop though, now all I need to do is learn another style ! or a few !
If you want quoted text on it etc just let me know, I'll try it. You did'nt say... should I try to get a MAXimum quality image of Vardariotai ? Did you see the one with the Persian Lancers ? You HAVE to see that, look in the spolier in my last post. Latest unit release from Broken Crescent.
Enjoy !

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hello Everyone !
I'm working on some new styles and concepts for signatures.
I really would like some feedback on how this is looking to others. If someone is passing by please drop me a line and let me know what you think. Point out what you think I can improve on.
Thank you very much in advance.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Sinan!
I think that looks good. Heavy Kwarzmi? Hmm.. and It's making me wonder.. what all is in a Broken Cresent mod? Perhaps it's time to find out. Lol
Well I would still very much like a sig if it's not to much trouble. (How would I upload it? Hmm..) It'd be good to show support for the fellow cavalry nuts lol. I'm thinking a group of Tsar's guard charging (for enemy polish somethings...), with the armour upgrade (masks.) in Black forest, heavy fog, sunrise etc. For a saying how about... "St. Micheal and the motherland!" Thanks in advance! This is very appreciated!

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hi Alex !
Thanks for the feedback ! All feedback is good even if it is "damm ! that's lame !" At least you get an idea of what you can improve. Also when you look at the same image forever you sometimes become devoid of perception, so it helps if you can see through another's eyes.
I will post in the next week about the mod in detail. Meanwhile if you want, click my sig and you'll land at the mod forum. The screenshot thread there has good images. Actually... wait.. click here. ENJOY !
That's no problem mate, I'll do it for you with pleasure. I was waiting for you to get back to me with a quote. I enjoy doing this. Are you going to take a screenshot ? You can host it simply when you hit "Add Reply" (not quick reply), there is an option at the bottom of the screen to host images. Just click browse and host it. If you prefer you can open an account (for free, which is what I have done) @ www.photobucket.com, then you can use this account to host your images whenever you want to post something on the forum, sigs etc. The monthly bandwidth is 25GB IIRC and that's very decent.
Let me know about the screenshot, as soon as you can. Otherwise I can ask someone with a pumped rig to take one for me. That's not an issue at all. If you take it, make sure it's the absolute best you can do. Try to get the main object slightly off center of the lens, this gives space to move the object around and also to insert text. Also depends what you want, if you want real close up, panorama, or normal range. The base image quality is important as this determines to a very large degree what the end result will be, but remember I'm a n00b so don't expect too much ! If you want me to find an image let me know asap. These are examples of good screenshots. The positioning of the main object in these shots is not ideal for sig making, but the base quality means that these screenshots are basically a CLEAR, WHITE canvas. You can manipulate them graphically in any way conceivable.

SALUTE !

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Allright, thank you Sinan.
I'll try to take a screenshot. I haven't downloaded the thing that makes TGA readable but there's some issue with my computer. M2TW plays on one computer while the interent works on another. It's a very perplexing problem that I've often tried to fix and haven't been able to. Just a thought. If I send the screenshot to myself and dowload the file that makes TGA readable to my computer with internet would that work? Perhap's we'll try. Well. I'll take the screenshot and try it and go to Photobucket. My screen won't be taken for a while but I'll get it done. Unti later.
Thank's again!

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
My pleasure Alex. I think you could just download Irfanview on your internet computer and transfer the file to the other one via CD, email, LAN etc. If you have problems give me a shout.
Looking forward to it. Love the Russian colors, some of the most beautiful in the game.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hi Sinan,
I wanted to send in a reply, since you offered to make me a sig. If you want to make one, I'd like to have a picture of a camel archer, with a desert background- with the phrase, "He who controls the camels, controls the world"
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
here's a re-reply, I think a really cool shot would be to have the rider of the camel shooting the bow facing towards the camera. other than than that, my other idea would be a unit of camel riders coming over the top of a sand dune, marching towards the camera. :2thumbsup:
cheers!

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hi Tris. Sounds good. I'm on it.
Questions:
Do you have an image or should I get one ?
Your name should be on it as text ?
Sorry if it's obvious, just want to be sure.
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hey Sinan, i sent you a PM with the details. Thanks in advance man! :yes:

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
PMed you. Thanks for your work ~:)

No obligation to use them if you don't like them. please let me know if you want another or want anything changed and I'll do it. Note loss in quality is inevitable because of sig limits, plus I'm not an expert. the red used here is exactly same red as in the
original flag of England (RGB 206, 17, 36)
Ok Ill be frank with you Sinan... they are bloody GREAT!:yes: :2thumbsup:
Im gonna have some hard time chosing one.
PS - The quote I chose was used by Richard The Lion Heart against the french king Philipe, if you are curious about its origin. :beam:

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Hi everyone !
Thanks for the PMs and posts. I need to rush a bit but will post back later.
Richard thanks ! Glad you like them. Keep checking the gallerie4s from time to time as I will hopefully improve and hopefully I'll have time to redo and make more. Thanks for the info on the quote, I'd forgotten it's origin but have seen it many times on the Windsor's coat of arms. I forgot this one.

Take all if you can use them otherwise leave 1 or 2 so if anyone else wants some they can have it. But do take all if you want to. I love doing them anyway. If you can use a free image hosting such as www.photobucket.com and host them on your own space that would be ideal. Let me know which ones you've taken so I don't duplicate/replicate them for anyone else.
Cheers !

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Wow sinan, you make some trully great sigs!
Cant wait to see how my sig turns out!
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
hey sinan, no i don't have an image, i've been really busy the past few week ( i had my prom) so i really haven't had a chance to play at all, and i'm not to handy with imageshack or anything of the likes. About the name, i don't care if it is on or not, your the artist, and i you have my artistic license to do what looks best. :2thumbsup:
cheers :yes:

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
good sigs everyone! they are all good and looks like much work is spent on it. appreciated.
anyways could anyone create me a sig with a crusader army including templars and hospitallers? combat or non combat both is good. and a cool crusade quote such as Deus Volt!!
thanks!
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
GG I'll do it.
Everyone !
I'm just waiting for some screens, please give me a few days and I'll have it done. Thanks for the patience.
Tristan how's this for French ?

https://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...eral/tris2.jpg
Let me know if you like those then I can work on them. I have not resized, compressed, nothing on those.
If you like them let me know what text you want on it.
If it's not what you want, no problem. We'll wait for something better.
Cheers !

I really like both shots... For a quotation i'd like a "Montjoie !! Saint Denis !!", the rallying cry of the French Knights and my name on it also...
They look really cool and you are really an asset to this forum... How do you find the time to make all this and still find time to play ?
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Thanks Tristan
Actually I was'nt working on your sig, I was working on a cavalry comparison chart, and I found these in the process. Right now I'm outsourcing my screenshots, as my GFX card is not that great. So I have someone else take the shots per criteria defined and I sig them.
I do play but Photoshop is more fun than TW ! I like doing more creative things like this, or strategies etc. I do play in between an hour here or there. I'm annoyed that my better GFX card is fried (must have said that 100 times). Sometimes I take a whole day off, get some delivery food and catch up.
I'm expecting it to be quite quick to do this as the base quality is pretty high. I'll post back once I'm done but give me some time coz i have tonnage of stuff going on today (so I really should'nt be posting!). LOL.
BTW Montjoie does that mean mon joie in old French ?
I'll be back !
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Not really Montjoie cannot be translated as "my joy" or anything of the like... I've known the source of that rallying cry but I've lost it in the mists of time...
and my failing memory...
Will research and get back to you...
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
In fact the term Montjoie is derived from the latin Mons Gaudii which refers to markers on the pilgrims way ...
Saint Denis was the patron saint of the French King and protector of the Kingdom...
thus the Cry of Montjoie Saint Denis meant something like Follow or Rally on Saint Denis (that is the banner of Saint Denis under which the army fought...)
My two cents of history...
[EDIT] The cry was first used in 1124 when Louis VI the Fat (LOL... in game it would be Prince Louis the Merciless at the start of the French Campaign...) went to war to stop Henry V of HRE conquering Reims

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
haha, well that movie is awesome! almost looks like a trailer for kingdom of heaven!
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
SINAN, would you make me a sig please?:sweatdrop:
I would like
- Spanish conquistadors fighting aztec infintry (prefer jaguar soldiers)
- It would be good if they were in the heat of the battle instead of the charge.
- a good shot of one Spanish conquistador swinging on an aztec enemy
- Text should say "We make war that we may live in peace"

Hey mate ! Thanks !
OOops forgot to mention that image is taken and edited by Inquisitor at .com. Here's another, taken by Bafka (.com). I was thinking of using this one since it has both Scotland & HRE in one image. What do you think ? I was also thinking of posting an image request for Gothic Knights and Highland Swordsmen (forgot what they are called) closer together in the same image, Ideally even fighting together.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Beautiful work on your signatures so far Sinan. You have made quite the many signatures since you started The .org team should promote you to community sigsmith now! :yes:

The spear is actually the blade of the knight's sword going through the model. However the blood and such is shopped.
Tschüß!

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
HAHHAHA !! Thanks very much for the feedback. Well I'd love that. I wish I could get paid (not at the org obviously) for doing this, my life would be pure bliss. I love doing this. So far I have made 41 sigs which are TW related, I still have like 30 sigs to make for the Broken Crescent mod. I still have a lot to learn. Indeed that's actually the sword going through the man. The effects are added.

Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Well, I'm a big fan of the Swiss Pikemen that Papacy has, and I like Castles and the Map, Swiss Alps and I call it Warman8 Death Field. (I'm a MP player :D) so yeah. Anything to do with SwissPikemen, Swissland and Castles, it's me!!
Great Sigs Sinan! how you get the renders (I guess you call them that) and all of that?
-
Re: Giveaway: M2:TW signatures.
Thanks Warman!.
Will you supply the image for you signature ?
Renders... hmm you mean lights or ? If you mean lights it's Filter->Render-> or Filter->Render->Lens Flare.
If you mean char renders you can try www.deviantart.com.
