Title: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 23, 2013, 08:02:02 PM

...It would make no difference, and half the guys I have in mind are already in usergroups they'd probably rather have displaying, but whadda y'all think?  Maybe the male talent for a group icon (Engineer is taken, alas.)

If you decide to create this group (not requesting here), I'd suggest one of the Nano icons of SMAC(X) (tech, facilities, or projects).
Besides, if the time comes for me to have a personal badge, I already have a pretty fixed idea on what I want for it.  :D

Okay.  I want this to be what the modders want.

You can go ahead and tell me about the other thing...

First I must feel I've earned it.  :D

You don't get it until you've earned it - but you can tell me what to make for it now.  I have to do the work sometime...

I'd say a badge would be more appropriate, then a member group. That way you can include numerous people and its a status you earn: because you must create some form of mod, and mods vary in how they are made.

Plus we can always use more badges  ;lol

YOU made the faction modder badge we're both sporting.  Any other ideas?

How about a gear/cog symbol with the letters Mod overtop of it or something like that? Or even just the gear/cog with a wrench, and it is awarded when you do multiple types of modding. Which can include exe+graphics, custom factions+SE modding, etc.

I like.  Care to knock something together for me?

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?

I'll see what I can whip up.

:D  I like the gear idea, and we already have a badge for .txt modders.

Is this just a case of "Let's try and back Kilkakon's sidebar" again? XD

What?

Ah I meant break. Oops. Looks like I get the fail typing achievement too. :P

So far my badges spill over onto two lines is what I meant. Wasn't deliberate though. :O

This would result in another badge for you, come think of it.  You poor badge-covered man, you.

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Kilkakon on September 24, 2013, 02:16:41 AM

Nah I don't think fail typing gets a badge. It happens to everybody eventually. It's like breathing :O

Allow me to seamlessly tie this back into the conversation and ask how the modding badge is coming along. :D

Jarl?

Working on it, just have some things tying me up at the moment.

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 24, 2013, 03:19:45 AM

Okay; I'll need suggestions for who to badge when it's ready.  Ideas anyone?

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: JarlWolf on September 24, 2013, 03:42:14 AM

I suggest giving it to people who have made mods in more then one area of modding, or have made a significant amount of mods.

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Kilkakon on September 24, 2013, 03:44:55 AM

Nice work Jarl. :) Looks good! Might I suggest a slightly brighter spanner? Just to give it that little bit of "pop"

Otherwise I'm very satisifed with your work there.

Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 24, 2013, 04:14:40 AM

I've saved it (nice work, Jarl ;b;) and have it open - will have a run at tweaking the wrench.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of different types of modder here...

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 24, 2013, 05:15:56 AM

It's kept.  We can talk more before I do anything - no rush.

Jarl came up with your .exe modder badge.

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 24, 2013, 05:38:46 AM

How's this?

Title: Re: Any interest in a Modder Membergroup?
Post by: JarlWolf on September 24, 2013, 05:39:27 AM

Yeah- this badge is meant to be awarded if you've touched multiple area's of modding.
