Title: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/20/03 at 01:06:14 I believe it would be nice to be able to change to a picture of your character to something unique, and of a player's choice. But, of course for a fee, which can be worked out of this actually goes to game. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by newb on 04/20/03 at 01:13:04 This has been brought up several times all with the same answer of "No". Something about inappropriate pictures I guess. I don't see what the big deal is for staff to approve a pic for you is, but apparently it is. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/20/03 at 01:15:33 There are two reasons why that shouldn't matter. 1) Staff should be intelligent enough to tell if the picture is appropriate or not. 2) Copywright can only get you in trouble if you make a profit from it. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Stotic on 04/20/03 at 01:21:56 You are using their pictures illegally. It is their property and you are using it for your own personal gain whether it is financial or not. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/20/03 at 02:26:59 Alright, I'll come at it on a different approach. Why not get an artist to come up with new pictures, and you could sell/auction them to players in the game. Is there an issue here? |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Currupted on 04/20/03 at 04:48:48 I have an artist in my closet I'd be willing to sell off, she's not bad and only requires a lil bit of food water and of course bathroom backs and works for cheap. I have no use for her anymore but someone else may have a use for her... |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by wonderful_nightmare on 04/20/03 at 10:06:57 i think the artist idea is good but i think currupteds post shows how hard it's gonna be to get someone to make them pics :d you don't find good artists really easy :d specially some that want to make a lot of pics for free :D |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Hatchet Warrior on 04/20/03 at 11:50:42 Different places have different laws, and Im not familiar with laws of other places, but US law says you can use a copyrighted Picture, as long as you are not making money off of it. If you couldn't, then there would be alot of people who create angelfire fan pages, who would be getting the (edit) sued out of them, as well as probally like...Diety, since you can have custom pics there, they'd probally get sued for it. I do understand that some people would attempt to sneak "Vulgar", "Lude", or simply Distasteful pics, but that is allready cleared up at the top. Simply have staff monitor this, and only allow a custom pic to charecters who have reached say lvl 25, which would Reduce the number of people creating mass charecters, and taking all the staffs time up by setting up there pictures. The only possible reason that I can think of for this feature not being added, is that it would take up so much room on the server,page,JLH's computer, or whatever. Having 100's of Pics to store there for custom. (Diety is smaller, having very few players, therefore they can easily do it, where NM is alot bigger, and would have to deal with alot of pics) |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Melfice on 04/20/03 at 15:51:31 But if the issue was only copywrite, how about the fact that most of us have copywrited pictures on our forum profiles? How about staff pics? I think the real reason is more of a space issue and the fact that it would cause more problems that solve. I mean if everyone wanted their own pic then each person would have to send their pic in to jlh and he would have put it on your character, i think the time spent on this wcould be used for much more useful things. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/20/03 at 16:15:12 Out of nearly 150-200 players in NightMist, don't you think it to be logical if someone knew how to use Cad Artist Pro. I mean for god's sake, who made the pictures we have now? Were they taken from somewhere else? As Hybrid has said "Copywright". Just a question.. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/20/03 at 16:17:54 To Hatchet Warrior: I was pretty sure you couldn't get in trouble with copywright, unless you used made profit off of it, but the game -is- in England, and I'm stumped on their laws. And if you were to BUY the picture, I would understand it being outrageously expensive, therefore wouldn't be as many pictures floating around. But for people who have gold, like myself it would be a nice feature. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Insomnia on 04/20/03 at 17:41:28 There are good artists out there who are willing to work alot for free, but as an old, wise man once stated; "If anyone who made pictures would get the jobs, everyone would be staff.". Artists are evidently not needed in Nightmist (don't ask me why, even I am tired of the "NO PIC" showing up everywhere). Have a nice day. :) |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Stotic on 04/20/03 at 18:12:56 We've added new pics recently as most of you might know of. |

Exactly, and unless JLH is making all those pics himself (which I highly doubt), it seems strange to me that there are no artists, and still pics have been added. To me, it looks like the only possible reason is that an artist is not wanted. :-X |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Norinth on 04/21/03 at 13:21:29 The reasons for not having custom pics: -Copyright. -Too much time spent making them avaliable. Time that can be used for something much more relevant and important. -Different pics belong to staff. It's easier to identify them if their pics are the only different ones. -Lag. Custom pics means much more lag. Even I would like to have a custom pic, but I can understand why shouldn't they be avaliable. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Currupted on 04/21/03 at 17:29:19 How about not custom pictures, but make more pictures avialable for just every character, I didn't really like any that we got in that last batch of pics we got, so most of my crits are still using the older ones. |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Hybrid on 04/21/03 at 18:52:29 Same here |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by AlecxZeck-P1C on 04/21/03 at 19:48:42 1) People with alot of money could buy pictures. So they would STILL be rare. So, there won't be as much lag as your over-thought mind over-looked. 2) It's easy to distinguise staff because of their colored typing. (I understand Staff having pics, regardless) 3) Time is an issue? Who said anything about when they had to be done? As I said, it'd be a nice feature in the game -eventually-. 4) And as for Copyright, did you over-look my post, before? The one about having someone voluntarily make pictures. If no one volunteers, then I'd understand not bringing it in. 5) Something more important? Look at the useless stuff we have In-Game! |

Title: Re: Custom Character Pictures Post by Norinth on 04/21/03 at 21:17:57 Hmmm, you got a point. I could make tons of pics but I still don't think staff would agree with this. |
