How to make them:
They cannot be larger then 450 x 140
They cannot be animated.
You must provide a background image as well as an "example" image of how it should look with the stats on it.
You may post in here requesting for a certain theme to be made and anyone is welcome to make it.
GamerCards

lostboyz, you can do pretty much anything you want as long as it's not animated and not larger than xs sigs.

You can also have a base background image and then a transparent png "overlay" image like this.

There are a lot of different things you can do and if i can get more people involved then i will probly take away the allowed users list and let everyone use it without me adding them.

The size is 450 x 140, but you can crop it to your liking.
I changed Phreak's zone to recreation because of the length of the word. Pro is too short, and other zones might overlap other items in the card if not taken into consideration.
I added a large gamerscore "G" in case anyone wants to use larger text. The small one that I've been using is still included.
I put the things that are basic (zone, rep, etc.) in one layer set/group, and I put the example stuff (Deak Phreak, 3435, etc.) in a separate layer set/group. That way, all you have to do is click the visibility "eye" to enable/disable the example stuff. Even though the icon and the icon border are in two separate groups, I linked them so if you move one, the other one moves with it. The same thing goes for the recently-played games. I use CS2, by the way, and the linking is different from previous PS versions. Just a heads-up in case problems arise from that.
The font I used is Arial, but you can change that to whatever font or size you want.
lost, when Deak gets it up (that sounds so dirty (IMG:http://images.xbox-scene.com/forums/style_images/oldx/folder_post_icons/icon4.gif)), you can download it from his site.
All I ask is that you guys give me credit for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The PSD file will be available as soon as i get home and will add it to my www.icp4ever.com/Xbox page for downloading. And the gamercard generator will be change to just display my name as examples of the themes so people arent generating an image for every theme.
Remember the cache time is going to be 30 min and so if you choose random, it wont show another gamercard until after 20 min!! Thanks again for everyones help and if you come accross a thread where people are asking about gamercards, feel free to send them to this thread or to my site so they can use my themes.
--------
As a special, thank you to the people already on the list to be able to use the gamercards, im going to add some coding so if your on the list, it will have a shorter cache time and your image will get updated more often. This will only be available to people who i know and consider friends. Or if you help out a bunch with themes, you will be added to that list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

There may be some downtime for the gamercards in a while so i can change it around. How its set right now, it loads up a theme file that contains every theme and if i keep adding a ton of themes, its going to be loading up a huge file everytime it calls for a theme.Im going to change it so it only calls a file with that theme it needs to keep it as small as possible and not cause any issues. During that time there may be some downtime with the cards but in the end it will be much better

Ive noticed a couple of the gamercards take a lil while to load and cut off part of the bottom. Im not sure if its just me or if it happes to others but i will look into it and find out why. Ive noticed it on graw, psy and sometimes the spidey theme. It may have to do with the image quality and size or the amount of themes in the file but i doubt that.

Post by: deakphreak on March 15, 2006, 07:17:00 AM
but i will work on the geometry wars. It would help to know what font you used and possibly have you send me the font and the color used for the text so i can try and reproduce the same text. Also if you use a different image for the rep, it would help to get a seperate image for the rep so its easier for me.MrPhunkee - I used to have it so not everyone could use the cards unless you were approved by me. That has been changed and everyone can use the cards. My hosting basicly has unlimited space and tonz of bandwidth so im hosting all of these themes but they do get cached for 30 min. right now i believe which helps out with bandwidth. For the people that help out with themes im going to add them to a special list where theirs gets updated MUCH quicker
Oblivion theme is done and added.
PNG images are easier to work with and please watch the image size. I dont want any images that are over 100k so try and reduce the image a bit and if its not transparent then use a jpg with a lil compression when you can
I touched up the oblivion one for the png so it displays better. Also make sure you leave plenty of room for me to work with and add text. That oblivion one was tough to get the zone in there, or even leave it out. Remember each card doesnt need all the info, you can leave out whatever you want, or instead of last game played images i can output text instead so whatever you want on there Here is an example below

Here's hoping it's fixed when I get home tonight
They're all ready to go just need to upload them
What is the preferred format PNG? I can provide the original Photoshop document if needed/wanted. Also I used a custom image for the star, do you need that separate or as a layer or what?
I'll probably work on a COD2 one next since that's the most popular game next to Graw
and no offense to jwin767 but I might make a new Burnout theme too, I just have some cool ideas I'd like to try out.
BTW metaldevil that Xbox controller one is awesome, I really like most of the stuff You've submitted
Anyone know where I can get a good clean version of the Gamer Score "(G)" and maybe the stars? In the amped theme I just have a generic G, the stars I'm using are fitting though.
Post by: deakphreak on March 17, 2006, 07:26:00 AM
Im still lookin forward to some great alpha trans PNG images. Im glad IE7 has support for alpha trans on the png images finally. I hear ya TS on the internet crap. My vonage phone has not been working well and the only thing i can think of is my ISP. I was working fine up until a week or so ago now sometimes i can call out, others it calls and then just sits there blank yet the other person on the other end can hear me, i cant hear nothing
Go a head and make a new burnout theme or check the site to see what other themes need to be done. If you make a new burnout theme, im just going to have both up there most likely because i do like this one now.soupy_31 - just try to keep the text simple lookin. I can use pretty much any font if you send me what you used on the image so i can make the gamer name and zone match, but its easier just using a default arial or comic sans (one of my fav's) And like metaldevil stated, make sure you give enough room for me to add the zone info and gamer name. The burnout one doesnt work well with long names as you can tell on TS's sig. Also the oblivion theme was hard to do because i didnt have a matching font, and there was hardly any room to put the info in.

Sorry im adding so many replies lol and i bet its a pain to read through all my crap. Ive also changed the gamerscore to put a comma in so its easier to read. Its like that for every theme.
Also if i see a theme in the "working on" section for longer then a week, im going to delete the name and re submit it for someone else to work on. Once i finish adding a theme, it will be taken off the "working on" list.

Example gamercard:
Edit: On this card, I think the name should be lined up on the left side just like the text below it. It looks tacky in the center. You should also change the font to Arial. Comic sans doesn't go well with it. The gamescore could also be a little larger.

SQ is square pics of the main logo, and the other 5 SQ is of the recent games played.
clearly the 776 is the current Gamerscore.

Ok guys, I've been tinkering with this one for a minute. I still have to remove the text and stars for the background image of the functional version, but I was wondering how you wanted the star icons? Just perfect squares? Can they also be jpgs? Also, for the text, would it be possible to duplicate the defualt style by overlaying the black text on top of white, but just ever so slightly offset?
Yes i can do white text below and black on top. Yes you can give me a jpg of the stars. One jpg with all the stars on it as if someone had 0 rep one with all stars full as if they had full rep so its easier for me.
HSDEMONZ - that sounds pretty simple. Im sure one of these guys will come up with something for ya.

Since there was no working internet I got bored over the weekend and threw together a few more themes on top of the amped 3 ones... put them on a disc and uploaded them to my server once I got to work.
Anyway here they are:
--------------------------
AMPED3
--------------------------
V1 Example:
V1 Base:
V2 Example:
V1 Base:
Both use the same star image here:
http://www.consoleca.../Amped3Star.png
Also both use the same text layout as described below:
-font type is "Impact"
-Zone and G font size is 12pt
-GamerTag font size is 14pt
-font color is #F02E96
-GamerTag is centered
-Zone and G are right justified
--------------------------
Burnout Revenge
--------------------------
I made this because I really love the game and had some cool ideas for a theme...
example:
base:
star image:
http://www.consoleca...burnoutstar.png
each star overlaps the previous by 14 pixels to create a continuous looking flame
Text is as described below:
-font type is "Verdana" in Bold and Italic
-GamerTag, Zone and Gamerscore are 14pt
-font Color is: #F3D388
-All fonts have a "shadow" text one pixel right and one pixel down in the same size and style but in black #000000
-Rep Stars are made to overlap by 14 pixels and should line up with the (faint) tread pattern built into the base
-Gamerscore is right justified
-Gamer tag and Zone are left justified but zone should be shifted slightly further right (per the example)
--------------------------
Call of Duty 2
--------------------------
Example:
Base:
Star:
http://www.consoleca...es/COD2star.png
Text is as described:
-GamerTag, Zone and Gamer score all use "Comic Sans MS" Font
-GamerTag, Zone and Gamer score Text Color: D7CB82
-GamerTag, Zone and Gamer Score all have a Shadow one pixel right and -one pixel down of: 1F0F0F
-Gamertag is 14pt size
-Zone and Gamerscore are 12pt size
-Gamertag is left justified
-Zone and Gamerscore are right justified
----------------------
ALL of these base images are overlays for either the gamer pictures, recent games, or both, and all use custom stars.
if you need me to change/fix anything or would like the original photoshop documents let me know and I'll try to get them to you.
Post by: deakphreak on March 20, 2006, 07:04:00 AM
They all look great but on the COD2 one, it might look better without the last game images. The burnout is sweet with the fire rep!!! If you have a pic that shows the full length fire, that might work better. The rep is just a series of images, 21 of them counting zero and each image just has a little bit "erased" from it. So if i start with a full fire, i can just erase a little bit at a time and make it look better.
I think this burnout one will be used for the "last game" option
Im not sure if im able to Italic unless the font was already made that way. Your a little limited on what you can do with text in php GD. But you did a great job on the transparency and puting the pics in the "background"
Post by: twistedsymphony on March 20, 2006, 07:17:00 AM
I can make one long Burnout flame... the example shows 5 of the mini flames just overlapping, if you can just take away from one long one that would probably look better though, I'll work on that tonight
I'll make up a new base image of COD2 without the last game images in there and see how that goes.
I might not have time tonight but I can definitly get those things done tuesday night and uploaded on wednesday.

all text = verdana 14pt
(All text should be black overlayed on white. White layer should be offset 1 pixel to the right and 1 pixel down.)
recent games = 21x21
Example
Background
Full Star
Half Star
Empty Star
This is my first card. Let me know if anything else is needed.

I could not get the text to look the same with the white shadow so i left it plain black which doesnt look too bad. I will replace the star images when i get home. Keep in mind if you use anything special in photoshop, most likely i will not be able to reproduce it exactly. GD does not have a bold function and if i do it myself, its TOO bold.
Looking good. Could you perhaps make the score and zone font match the gamertag font at the top? The gamerpic and recent games look great
Is there any way to detect if the person is signed into live or not? I was thinking of making an icon in the bottom left corner if that was possible.

They are the same font, the gamertag at the top is just a little bit bigger so it appears to be bold and look a lil different. The rep and score looked too big so i had to bring them down a bit and it made them look "un"bold. So far no there is not a way to figure out if they are on live or not, at least not that ive seen.

Ahh, ok. Now, if you view a profile on xbox.com they display the persons current status... online or offline, and even the description of what that person is doing. We can't simply trace the info (php?) and retrieve it the same way they do? Or does all our info have to come from mygamercard.net?

With that other info that comes from xbox.com i believe you have to be logged in for it to show the info so im not sure how i would pull the info.
Post by: deakphreak on March 20, 2006, 11:56:00 AM
Yea i knew there were other options of getting info but im not sure where they are pulling their info from... anyone wanna try and do some research, maybe contact them and find out where they pull their data from?

Hey deak, any idea why my card isn't updating itself?
Make sure your using the code from my generator. It should be
http://www.icp4ever....ncy.profile.jpg
If you go there in your browser it will redirect to the cached image file so dont do that, use THAT code right there and put it in your sig.

Yeah that's the adress I've been using. It seems to be fine now, but it took a full 24 hours to show my last 3 games. Oh well, still very badass. I think I'll create a small/thin card next, but I'll give you some time off first
Post by: twistedsymphony on March 22, 2006, 06:57:00 AM
I also picked up a cheap pen drive so I don't have to burn a disc every-time I bring something to work.
ALL OF THE TEXT IS THE SAME AS BEFORE, I didn't change any of that so my descriptions on the other page are still good.
here's the latest:
----------------
Amped 3
----------------
Amped 3 Example:
Base Image 1:
Base Image 2:
Star Image:
I got rid of the recently played games because I felt it just looked too cluttered and took away from the background, also I broke up the stats a little, again to make it feel less cluttered.
-------------
COD2
-------------
example:
base image:
star image:
I got rid of the recently played games and moved the gamer picture to behind the wall as opposed to the weathered overlay I had before. I also moved the GamerTag from the top to the bottom.
---------------------
Burnout Revenge
---------------------
exmaple
base image:
"Star" image:
I didn't change the layout of this at all, the rep flame has been made one continuous image (and I think it looks MUCH better now). The shorter height makes the recently played games a little harder to see but I think it still good enough that you can tell what they are, besides it's a really cool effect
I think these should be good to go now
also metaldevil, I left the borders off intentionally... I'm not a big fan of borders unless I'm going for a particular effect.
Post by: deakphreak on March 22, 2006, 07:02:00 AM
I really look forward to getting more themes from you
Also, i can display on the gamercards where your location is... USA, JAPAN ect which isnt too hard to do, but im still trying to find out about the other info.

nevermind, i thought i could pull that data but i guess not. If there is an issue with someone choosing just one theme and it not updating the info then i will look into having it output a random number for the image name, then after the cache time expires it will delete it and create another image with a diff random munber. That way it doesnt get cached from the browser.... does that sound good? Let me know if you see any issues with yours or anyone else's cards that are using this service that dont show the same info as the one under their avatar on the forum and i will look into it.
I will,
My info is pretty screwed up lately anyway though because my flaky cable connection at home. I ended up just unplugging the network connection from the back of my 360 because it would manage to log on then log right back off then on then back off... and I kept getting "disconnected from Xbox Live".... "5 friends online"... "disconnected from Xbox Live"....
Not exactly the best when you're playing condemned, it really ruins the mood, not to mention sits right on top of text you're trying to read.I'm not sure what I'll do next. I'd like to do a DOA4 theme or maybe Hexic or Feeding Frenzy but I don't really have any ideas yet. I can't wait till I get my Datel Transfer kit in though, then I can snag my own hi-res screenshots right off the 360 to work from

the Datel Transfer Kit is a USB device that will let you read Xbox 360 memory units with your PC. it comes with some crappy software, but you can use the Xplorer360 software to have free reign with file swapping.
So basically I can use the photo mode in games like PGR3 and DOA4 to take screenshots put those on the Memory Unit and grab those files using the transfer kit

I like the last game played thing, but i like random as well so i decided to combine them. This option wont be available on the generator but just know its there. The "theme name" is "lgrandom" and it will display the last game theme if there is one and if there isnt one then instead of showing the default 360 theme it will choose a random one to display. Im testing it now but it should work just fine.

Im ready for more designs or ideas. Everything should be working now. If you link to the cached image and the cache gets cleared, it will show an image saying you linked to the wrong place.
I think this is where a few errors where happening so i hope that fixes it. Also i noticed something that may have been the cause for the png images not working right as well. I did not have the png image type set in the htaccess file.

Its a sweet looking one, just the font doesnt work or its too small or both. I would try and stay with default fonts since the cards are rendered on the fly from my server and it takes processing power. Id rather not have a ton of fonts eating it up so i try and keep it to a minimum. ONLY if the font looks super cool on that card then i will use it.Thanks for working on some themes though. When you submit a theme to be made, be sure to PM me the back image to use and not post it here, that way people cant steal your design.

Also, keep in mind that if you get on my bad side, you will be banned from using my cards. Yes i have a banned list and i wont hesitate to put you on that. On the other hand, if you help out and get on my good side, you could be put on the good list where your card gets updated faster then the others.
I am the HSDEMONZ of the gamercards lol
didn't your momma ever tell you not to use the lords name in vain?

All he said was HSDEMONZ, nothing so extreme as to use a name like MODDERXTRORDANARE..
Don't ban me.

So its nothing to do with the amount of traffic to the site, or anything like that. If anyone can host a temp page for me on their site that says "Sorry icp4ever.com is down right now due to some server hardware issues. We are workin on the problem bla bla bla" and give me the URL for it so i can redirect icp4ever.com to that page for now, please let me know.
Just when i was gettin things going so well, this had to happen. Ive had my site with this guy for quite some time now and this is the first time its been this drastic.

if you're looking for a good host I highly recomend http://www.1and1.com
if you're looking for something cheap the cheapest and most ghetto hosting on the internet try http://www.e-rice.net
I have space with both of them, 1and1.com is simply awesome and reasonably priced. e-rice is limited feature wise but it's so damn cheap who could complain
