New Look For USVSD
I've had this idea for a couple years, and finally decided to do it:

Its nothing spectacular, and I did check it on IE and Mozilla. Let me know if it doesn't work for anyone.

Nice, but angle of TL bolts for the Sovvie and the Galaxy is wrong if they would come from the SD.

How so, given it's the only thing there?Lord Revan wrote:cause they look they're not coming from the ship but from empty space.Lord Poe wrote:Why? There's guns all over that ship.Lord Revan wrote:Nice, but angle of TL bolts for the Sovvie and the Galaxy is wrong if they would come from the SD.
The angle he chose for the Galaxy is nearly the same as he chose for the Constitution. The Sovvie is only coming from a closer angle. The weirdest angle is the Negh'var shot. But given the way the guns are assembled on an ISD, they can and do come from those angles.

what I'm saying is that the bolt look like they're coming from some poin near the middle of the screen (aka just empty space(aka from none of the ships) instead of the SD.Ghost Rider wrote:How so, given it's the only thing there?Lord Revan wrote:cause they look they're not coming from the ship but from empty space.Lord Poe wrote: Why?

EDIT:I took new look at it and even the shot to the connie seem to come from the middle instead of the SD.

If Poe had a TIE fighter or something between the two points I could see the point and even the confusion, no matter how humorous, but there is only one thing there, and it's firing green bolts of death.
Unless you can point out something that would give the indication that there is something else, this is literally nitpicking because he didn't angle the bolts at some perfect 73 degree angle from the vessel.

Fucking hell, they're just graphical elements. Jeez.
Also, Wayne, I'd add bits of javascript to preload the rollover images.

Great.
Wonder if DarkStar's started ranting about how this exposes your obvious subjective bias yet.

I'm getting the same thing, but if i resize my window and make it smaller the images move into place.Lord Poe wrote:Wow... one of the spacer.gif elements isn't loading for you? That's really strange.FedRebel wrote:To end the bickering, this is what Lord Revan is talking about
Snip
For example on my regular resolution of 1600x1200 i get this:
While when I resize it i get:
So maybe your missing a break or something somewhere? I really don't know that much HTML
Oh, and I am on firefox 1.6 to, but it does the same thing in IE.

No, there's a way in javascript to preload images that show up during rollover. This is what you do:Lord Poe wrote:Do you mean width/height notations?
Code: Select all
var x = new Image();
x.src = "y.jpg"
Now, the problem with your index is that if someone's screen is big enough, the spacer image will still be on the first line. To fix it, simply put a <BR> tag after the first three images.

Thanks, Rob! It seems to be working.Dalton wrote:Do that for each image and make sure you match the image names to the file names. This'll speed things up a bit when the page is first loaded and the viewer rolls over the picture.
Well, I tried that several ways, but the images kept going off center or completely out of whack. Can you elaborate? BTW, I'm at 1024x768 resolution. This is no longer standard?Now, the problem with your index is that if someone's screen is big enough, the spacer image will still be on the first line.
