Ziz's Intro

Zizlag · 07-09-2005, 06:32 PM

Hi there guys. How's things going up?
Well, let me tell u my story now.
Long ago I used to mod for Red Alert 2, I completed a mod and I never had the intention of publicating it, I just gave it to several frinds I maked while playing the game online.
One day like this my beautiful computer (I love more a pc than a girl, sometimes) got bad with a virus or worm or any of those bad-things.
Hopefully I could retrieve my data on a CD. It contained my modding tools, and all that material, along with my mod, and all other stupid things I could have. Ok, the thing is that after my pc had to be raped-and selled, I needed to have one. I heard one of my mom's conversations with my grandma (yes, those conversations of 3 hours) that for my birthday they would gave me a laptop. Hell, was so happy that I threw a block in my neighbor's house.
Finally, the day had camed, I called my best friend and together we headed up to my uncle's home. In that time, with Yuri's Revenge on sale, I returned to my modding time, I was so anxious for start modding in the expansion. And the game was in his peak of popularity. We were walking through the town and we noticed that the parties or fairs or however were in the town and would leave the day after. We could not let this go, we headed up to the place they were installed, not too long. When we got there we mounted on the bumping cars. After that while going back to my uncle's place, in the middle of the way I noticed that the CD was gone, I could only think that I had lost it in the bumping cars. When we arrived I saw my sky-high-cost, ultimate-tech, super-black laptop.
I lost my interest in modding after loosing my CD.
Five days ago I went to saw this Spielbierg's movie the War of the Worlds (Geez, it was great) And I started thinking: ''how great how be of making a rts based of this, but thats not gonna happen, heck!....Hey.. wait a minute, I used to make mods for ra2! I could make one with those high squid-looking alien machines on it! But hell, first I must learn again how to mod.'' I remembered most of the basic things like making warheads, weapons, units and those coding things. But the problem was the cameos, I used to have a program to make those (paint shop I guess). But now I don't and can't get it anywhere, and Im not expecting doing cameos in window's paint, right? Can somebody help me out and place me on again in this modding-stuff? (All this message could be resumed to the last phrase, but I like to tell stories, however, consider it like an introduction, I'll start posting here now on) Ok, where can I get places with freeware-cameos and voxels or something alike? I searched on google and other places and I just get nothing... Plz help me out guys!

These are high quality:

http://pixelops.cannis.net/

There are many more, but those are the best known I guess.

Hey, I like to tell stories.
But however, thank ya for the help.
One more thing, (there will be lots or other things, really...)
Errrg... I maked up total history for my mod yesterday, I would place it here, but... Its kind of large and I see you dont like big posts. Or at least not that ones with useless things like i put there. However, can somebody help me with the cameos?

Well, I can't help ya with the cameos- but i could point you in the right direction for a really good program to make em with.....Download a program called Ares from aresgalaxy.org and install it- then once you are done that, search for Jasc, and download Jasc Paint Shop Pro V8 0 final full or something close to it- youll need to learn to use the program, but is one of the best out there.

1) Ares = Bullshit
2) Paint Shop Pro 8 is old, get 9

Death3464 · 07-11-2005, 10:45 AM

pd- yes, ares is shit. But, its the only place i know of to get Paint shop pro, and yes, 8 is old, but if he needs help, i can help him with 8, but i was too lazy to get 9.

bobing · 07-13-2005, 07:50 AM

i like PSP7. I've got 8, but i don't see any point in getting 9 because 7 or 8 does the job.

Death3464 · 07-13-2005, 09:41 AM

yeah, i have the same opinion in that matter....

XtremeNL · 07-13-2005, 02:32 PM

Photoshop> paintshop pro if you can get ps though, but it's expensive.
is warez talk allowed on this forum? ;P

Mr Graffitti · 07-13-2005, 06:02 PM

I use PSP9. I just like having the things updated. Coolio.(I feel so powerful when I say this word)
