    Important announcement. You mighta seen me post these badges before my characters' IC posts;
    View attachment 3352 View attachment 3354 View attachment 3355 View attachment 3356
    Two of those are pre-update. Anyway, bottom line is I CAN MAKE THEM FOR YOU! Or you can make them for yourselves! Here's how!
    Step one on the badge making process; take two screen shots.
    For one screenshot, make sure you're in a bright place. A light sky background is preferred. If you don't know how to take a screen shot, on Windows, simply press the Print Screen button, or [PrntScr], and then paste into Microsoft Paint or something similar. This is apparently how you do it on Mac OSX. If you want me to create it for you, just save it now as a PNG. Should look like this;

    If you want to make it yourself, here's what you do; Just crop the picture so all it includes is the character badge at the top left hand corner of the screen! (looks like this; )
    View attachment 3358
    For the other screenshot, make sure you're in a dark place! Like a hole in the ground! Then, type your desired username into the chat. Make sure it fits on one line, like this;

    Again, if you want me to make it, save it now as a png. Otherwise,
    Crop the image so it's just the text box. I usually get two game pixel's worth of space of black as a border, here's an example;

    Then you can clean it up a bit. Make sure that it looks like a closed box, and not a cut off text bubble. I usually select the grey part and just stretch it over. Should look like this;

    Now, if you would like me to make the badge, you're done. Send me your two screenshots via message here, or in a PM.

    Disregard that attatched image. Now,
    If you would like to make it yourself, open up a more powerful image editor, such as Gimp or Photoshop.
    Open your Character badge image first.
    Use the magic wand tool or a color select tool to select the (hopefully) bright background.
    View attachment 3364
    Delete the background. You should be left with a transparent badge.
    View attachment 3365
    Take your username and open that sucker up too. Select everything, copy and paste it onto your character badge. Make sure it's on a new layer. Line it up with the health and energy bars, so that it's somewhere in the middle. View attachment 3367
    Go into your first layer, select and delete your health and energy bars. They're in the way. Now, take your pasted layer, and drag it underneath your first layer. Move the box just slightly so that the grey edge of the box is no longer visible. Like this; View attachment 3368
    THIS NEXT PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!
    You have to MERGE VISIBLE LAYERS. Do NOT Flatten Image. That'll give it an ugly white background and nobody wants that. Merge Visible Layers, and Save. If it's not in PNG format, make it so. JPEG does not support transparency. After that, you're done! You'll have a beautiful character badge! Like this;

    And that's all folks! I hope that was helpful in some way!
