Even with captach I have been seeing a fair number of user spam account creation requests. For the time being I am closing site registration. If you would like to sponsor a new site member (and frankly all the real members come via you guys anyway) just PM me the particulares (account name email etc) and I will gladly create and send them the account info manualy, and they will be good to go.

Contact Info

Friends,

I would like an easier/better way to keep in contact with everyone.  If you do not mind, please contact me at madraider@gmail.com with Facebook info, mobile number, personal e-mail, msn account info, or whatever I can use to stay in closer contact with everyone.  It is easy for me to text, not always as easy to call, and for some of you, I do not think I even have you correct personal mobile numbers anymore.

Maybe we could set up a Guild Avatar page on Facebook that we could all join as another way of communicating.  Just a thought.  Not everyone will use this site like many of us do, but they may use Facebook.

 

Thanks,

Jason

Vent settings for volume leveling, repost from phils

The SFX->compressor function is supposed to normalize everyone's volume. Here are the instructions I used for it:

- Go to Setup
- Enable Direct Sound
- Select the SFX Button
- Select Compressor and click Add.
- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings
- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 15)
- Attack = 0.01
- Release = Around 500
- Threshold = Around -30
- Ratio = 100
- Pre delay = 4.0

Uploading & Adding Images to Your Content

One of the best features of the web is the ability to easily integrate images into stories and articles, making them more attractive, immersive, and often more informative.  There are tools for uploading and inserting images into content you create for the Guild Avatar website, and this Help entry is intended to tell you how to do it.  The tools are not particularly intuitive, so a brief tutorial was definitely in order.

A Few Caveats, Provisos, & Quid Pro Quos

The file extensions that are allowed to be uploaded are limited.  Currently these are limited to: jpg jpeg gif png txt html doc xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp docx xlsx dnd4e.  If you need other extensions added, please let me know.

The maximum file size you can upload is 2MB, and a graphics resolution of 1024x768 for images.  You also have a single user limit of 100MB.  Please keep your uploads to a reasonable level and use smaller and lower resolution images where possible.

Adding Your Own Game Content

Avatar BadgeIf you play in any of the D&D or Pathfinder campaigns managed on this site, you may want to add your own information to the "books" (a set of related web pages with links to one another) that have been set up for them.  The "book" for the Tremon campaign is at http://www.guildavatar.com/pathfinder/tremon, for instance.  That book and most of the pages under it belong to Bear, i.e. he has permission to edit or delete the content on those pages.  If you want to have your own page, you need to add it as a child page of one of the books.  If the page relates to your character, it should be added as a child page of the Characters page, at http://www.guildavatar.com/pathfinder/tremon/characters.  To do this, we'll use the fictitious character Sample as an example.  Go to the Characters page, and click on the 'Add child page' link at the bottom right hand corner, per the screenshot below:

Almost back

Sorry guys, clearly things are taking a bit longer then anticipated to get everything back up and running. We are still sorting through the module soup ingredients to get things flavorful again. Mike is working on the theme, the old one could not work with drupal 6 but on the plus side drupal 6 opens up a lot of options we did not have before.

EDIT: We're done with all the heavy lifting.  The site should be stable and useable for the foreseeable future.  Carry on.

upgrade

I have been stalling for a while but no more. We are upgrading to druapl 6... now. And possible for the rest of the weekend depending on how this shakes out. If things seem broken after I say things are good feel free to bitch at me.

Just for the record it's all MJ and his boundless enthusiasm's fault ;).

I have enabled a new rich text editor. It dose not have the integration with gallery but I'll see if I can fix that. It also dose not many of the problems the last one did so give it a try out and let me know what you think.
