Hi. I just registered on SEN a few minutes ago (I finally decided that the terms of service were safe - yes, I actually read them XD).
I happen to be working on an open rpg for starcraft, and I wanted people to rate my storyline so I'll know whether I should go with it or not. Where would I post this? Would it be under UMS Mapping Theory and Ideas (since they're essentialy ideas for a map) or UMS Mapping Assisstance (since I'm technically asking for assisstance on keeping my self esteem about my ideas up)?
Sorry if this question is in the wrong place or if it's already answered >_<.
None.

Go with mapping theories and ideas.
And welcome to our site.
fuck you all
*Points to clan Mp*.
Make a demo map with some storyline incorporated, so people can have a real feel of what the story will be like.
None.
K, thanks.
While I'm here, I have another question: I'm trying to make an avatar, but apparently the picture file I have is saved as a .bmp, which isn't one of the allowed file types. Is there a way I can change the file type?
Also, I'm not in Mp) anymore. Mp) died
. I was the last to go, unless you include the guys who were never logged in.
None.
Use Paint to open the file and save it as a .jpeg or .png.
None.

Open it with paint and select "save as" and select a different format other than bmp. I strongly recommend .png
fuck you all
Wow I'm stupid, how did I not see that... thanks =).
Now it tells me that it's too big (I specifically edited it so that it was 123 by 123 pixels, barely under the limit)... what do I do?
None.
Resize the image using a program called Irfanview.
Google for the program.
None.

It probably is too big in size. Does it say if it's a size problem or a dimension one?
fuck you all
Ah, I get it.
It didn't specify on dimensions or file size, so I was a bit confused. It appears that my file is slightly over 4 times the limit >_<. Meh, I guess it's the colors or something. I'll find a new avatar for now D=.
None.
OKAY PROBLEM SOLVED
LOCKPLZ THE TOPIC "SERVED IT'S PURPOSE"
None.
Ok, I found a smaller picture
.
Lock the topic already? Ok, I guess there's no problem with that o_O.
None.
If you have an actual map that you're working on, you could post it in UMS Map Production, but screenshots are required for that forum.
Welcome to SEN.
None.
Just so I know in case I ever need to post in that forum, how do I make and post screenshots? Do they want screeshots, of, say, the minimap, or the units in action, or the trigger list, or what?
By the way, is it true that the "minerals" feature of staredit no longer exists? Someone told me that once. If so, how do I buy things in the SEN store? I want to be able to buy the right to make a signature at some point XD.
EDIT: Just so you guys know, I've posted by ideas thread. It's just barely below the character limit XD. Please don't let the size of it deter you from reading it, it took me like an hour to type XD.
None.

Minerals are a feature of sen. They've been disabled at the moment but everybody's hoping they come back one day.
You can take screenshorts inside of sc with the prnt scrn button in your PC and you can convert them to png with irfanview to post them.
fuck you all
Ok, but what kind of screenshots do they want?
Do they want in-game pics? Pics of the trigger list? Pics of stuff being placed in scmdraft?
None.
Any picture. Usually people use in-game or in-editor pictures, almost never of trigger lists.
EDIT: You got ninja'd, Corbo.
None.

Anything, terrain screenshots, actions taking place in the map, in game screenshots, anything that helps you sell your project.
fuck you all
