I was wondering, who made this banner?
This banner is really good! I was just looking closely at it and I was rickrolled! This logo is just perfect! This thread is to remind you of admiring and venerating this banner everytime you see it! I'm serious.

I believe DJ took many screens from his game and others games and put them together, shaded them, and then added the words and calcs. ;)

Yes, it must have been a lot of hard word!
-
yeah, I've just seen the "never gonna give you up" part ;D :x
-
Yup, DJ made that. He did an excellent job on it. ;D
By the way, the thing on the far left is a wireframe Link made by Calc84 for the Nspire. :)

That zelda image is very famous (ndless)

I'M glad you all like it. I planned to do such banner for months before actually doing it. I even grabbed some screenshots shortly before starting for later. My goal was to put calculators back into the banner and do like in the 2005 one, by putting plenty of screenshots in it. I then added some sprites, which some people may recognize, that wireframe Link from Calc84maniac 3D polygon engine (that he unfortunately lost) and one more calc. In the 2005 banner, all screenshots were from RPGs available for download on the site. And yeah, as you can notice, it includes some stuff like the rickroll in Illusiat 13 and a lobster. :P
EDIT: For the curious, here are the previous site banners:

That banner is quite an achievement, all that hard work, and it looks really nice. along with the background, it defines what omnimaga is, with its bluish theme.
-
To answer the one who was asking how long it took to create, I would say about 2-3 days, but that doesn't count the time I took to re-find all the needed screenshots, turn animated ones into still pics and create new ones. If I combine all the times I spent into gathering screenshots in one folder, I would say 2 weeks total.
Later I worked on a new forum theme to match the new banner and that took about 1 week I think X.x
Hence my frustration a while ago about that comment: http://ourl.ca/7224

...wow... That was a hard job. I think this theme will stay for a long time, because it's very good.

I just lost my temper looking at yatzy's comment, look at mine right below. I signed up just to post it. And I wasn't as nice as DJ. and I don't care:

Yatzy, you should really shut up. The design on omnimaga.org is perfectly fine, the only thing not fine here is your attitude.
Omni and tibasicdav are COMPLETELY different types of sites — this helps people get started in calc programming, and then omni takes over; it's the most productive community that makes calc games ever made — and more than just BASIC ones. How about you grow a pair and then think twice before insulting a community whose newbiest n00bs are probably 10x better than you at programming.
:O
-
:O indeed good sir. I lost my temper, but I am not sorry.
-
i doubt that type of speech will be appreciated over on BASIC-dev (or that Yatzy will ever read your reply, seeing how old that post of his was). however, it's not my site and thus not my place to judge
-
Hmm to be honest I think it is deserved for him, but I don't think implying that everyone on TI-BD are n00bs and the good programmers are on Omni is a fair thing to say. TI-BD has a lot of great programmers. I'm personally surprised that such post did not arrive sooner there, but it might be because Yatzy posts like twice a year so he may not even see the comment. I think Graphmastur even wanted to delete Yatzy comment completely before (since Graph is gmod)
-
eh, I'll edit it to make sure that I don't offend TI-BD at all.
-
Ah ok, might be a better idea. Otherwise it may not give a good reputation to Omni since some people there might think Omni is bashing TIBD or trying to act like if it's better than anything else (even if that's subject to opinions)
-
I added this in to the end:
No offense to TI-Basic-dev as a whole though -- they are an awesome group of programmers. Too bad they are cursed to have you, though. I wish them best of luck.
-
Ah ok. Well, at least it is not bashing TI-BD as a whole anymore. That said, I doubt the comment about him will change anything, though, since he might never actually read it.
-
Good grief, I feel like mod-ding all those comments out, but since Burr didn't, I won't either.
-
Did I just see blue lobster on the banner? O_o
-
That's a lobster? I thought that was a scorpion!
-
But don't scorpions have a different tail that goes in circle or something? ???

It still looks like a scorpion to me :P
-
It looks perfectly like a lobster to me.
-
It's a lobster- like Netham45.

Yup, DJ made that. He did an excellent job on it. ;D

I always knew that was link, but I never knew it was for an nspire polygon engine.
-
Yeah he also had shading later, but he could never get sorting to work without losing too much speed and gave up on the project. Later he lost the entire source code. :(
-
Too bad. I hope he can pick it up again sometime, maybe with a z buffer?
