I want 2 know who to contact and weather my work is any good i have include a Cameo i call him MERLIN thanx!!!!! :scared: :scared:

[Kravvitz]

I mean no offense, but that cameo does not fit in the RA2/YR cameo style:

• it is not 60x48 pixels
• it does not have the official style text
• it doesn't have the transparent corners
• it doesn't have the glass effect

"Blade is the master, I am but a learner."

"I can instruct you, as I have instructed others before you."

first thing download and read through this: http://www.mysanctuary.demon.co.uk/icontut.zip

Then if you want to know how to do the glass effect or have any questions contact me.

your cameo is great but this is not the way cameos are made in RA2 you will need:

1.any good image editor (adobe photoshop 7.0 or paintshop 7.0 or later are recommended)
2.XCC utilities wich can be found at http://xccu.sf.net
3.a cameo palette (cameo.pal) which is extracted from ra.mix => cache.mix by the xcc editor in your ra2 directory
4.blade's tutorial on making cameos, can be found at: http://www.mysanctuary.demon.co.uk
5.talent and creativity

1) I use Paint Shop Pro (PSP) 3, 4, and 7. ( that's what he means by "pantshop"), but I also like Irfanview. Irfanview is freeware and it is available for download on irfanview.com
You can get the trial version of PSP at jasc.com

2) you should get XCC Mix Editor also.

3)"ra.mic" should be "ra2.mix" and you have to copy at JASC Pal not normal Pal.

You're quite welcome. If you have questions feel free to contact me.

AFAIK ( as far as I know ) this is the most active RA2/YR modding forum (I'm a member of almost a dozen).

( I've been a little distracted with a few problems for the past few hours. )

And perhaps how are we supposed to make glass effect for the cameo or Official Font?

And what can a Merlin do against Yuri and accursed Allied forces?

[WyreFyre]

Black421,dont use otha pplz cameos...plz

Blade has the font for a ra2/yuri type font,
and merlin has the power of a nuclear missile,(that really balances the game) :tard: :dead:

There are several methods of doing the glass effect. I use masks.

Blade includes a template image that has the official font ( including all 10 digits ) and the veteran stripe in his tutorial.

What are you talking about?
If you are refering to his avatar, it is in the catalog of custom avatars.

I usually do the Glass Effect with a mask and brighten/darken in the appropriate places using Corel Photopaint.

Also, I create a layer with it that I can copy paste onto another base image to easily create another cameo.
