New MOTD

[Gnum]

Spoiler: show

Look good? Did I miss anything?

[Prep H]

You forgot the part about Linus loving the cock.

[fireknight43]

I like it. Something missing, nothing comes to mind yet.

[Angry_Squirrel]

There's a big open space below the medic, that's probably why it seems slightly awkward. Something else could go in that spot, but aesthetically speaking having two images on top of each other like that wouldn't look good. :s

I have an idea what to put there (or how to make better use of that space); let me fool around in photoshop a bit and see what comes out.

[Dimeq]

no offense, but tl;dr, and the whole thing has the same text color, so it's kind of tedious for a new joiner to read.

condense some text:

Jimmy Likes Men logo (incorporate the forum link into it imo)
Welcome to Jimmy Likes Men!

-Alltalk
-Fast respawn (except A/D or PL)

Server mod commands:
-Equipmod (/em)
-rmf_menu (!r)
-Jukebox (/jb)

Other commands: (put this to the right of server mod commands to fill the empty space)
-rtv, nominate
-votescramble
-statsme, rank
-help

No censorship (porn sprays encouraged) but don't abuse the mic. GLHF!

[SmiIingPerson]

I agree with Peppy's suggestions but I think the bit about censorship can be left out. If you are going to flip your shit about a pron spray then don't join a server named "Jimmy Likes Men". I think it's just too srs for us. Replace with "Don't spam the mic" and perhaps throw some insults somewhere in there.

[J!ngo!st!c]

Don't spam the mic. Female orgasmic sounds and songs about vaginas being the exception of course.

[Angry_Squirrel]

Just for a little heads-up about what I want to try and integrate into the MOTD: I think something should be said about the pumpkin power-ups, so that people don't get confused and mistake these shinning pumpkins for the regular harvest_event candy gibs.

Inspired by this deathcam of Sexy Beast, I'm trying to create a similar graph to put on the MOTD.

Good idea, bad idea, what do you think?

[Angry_Squirrel]

Alright, here's my attempt at a motd for jlm.

I like how gnum made the original fit perfectly into that motd frame; IMO not having to scroll to read the full motd = bigger chance the motd will get read.

@Squirrel
You wrote RF_MENU instead of RMF aye?

I might stretch out the useful commands to fill the space between them and the pumpkin to help make the left generally less cluttered.

Other than that I'm digging it.

[Angry_Squirrel]

hahaha whoops typo. I never could remember that superpowers mod name :V

But yeah, otherwise that commands section is word for word what gnum had... guess this is a case where being short and to the point isn't the right thing, aye? Hahaha!

When I fix it I'll just update the image in my previous post instead of making a new one.

UPDATE: There, that looks better now even Also fixed a few things with spacing I didn't think to correct first time around.
Renamed useful commands to common chat commands. Could extend that area to fill more, but I didn't know what other commands might be considered "useful" or "common"; ie should we mention maprate (but not describe it), all the other hlxstat commands? All I could think of off the top of my head for the latter was "top10" and "hlx_stats 1/0" (and I'm not even sure I remembered the right syntax for the stats on/off display.)

[Gnum]

Wow, nice work. I'm adding this right now.

Thank you, Squirrel.

I like how gnum made the original fit perfectly into that motd frame; IMO not having to scroll to read the full motd = bigger chance the motd will get read.

That's mostly just a sneaky html trick that Dor pointed out to me a while ago. But, you have to get the aspect ratio right so it doesn't look all distorted when it resizes, so I'm glad you used that H/W. It's prob important though, because I'd imagine that MOTD window size changes depending on resolution?

Lacking a reliable source of income from which to donate to the server, it's the least I can do to give back to the community

[Dimeq]

awesome motd squirrel.
