How do you get the pic from Hero Creator to Dakka?

If you have Firefox, get screengrab.

If not, make a printer preview (need a printer, wont work without one), then go to edit in MS paint, and save as .JPF

Then what?

You will need to upload the image to an image host, such as photobucket or imageshack.

There comes my problem. I don't have anything like that, and don't really want to get one.

Edit: (Is there any way I can send it to you via PM or something, and them you put it on your image host?)

Planning on playing the over-the-top villain; NEFARIO!

You can't attach the image to a PM, and you can't attach non-wargaming pics to dakka. I don't know if you even need an account to use imageshack (never used it - I've always had a photobucket account ).

I found a solution.
I send one of you the save text in a PM, which you can then copy and paste into HeroMachine 2.5. You can then do the image capture thing, and host it on an image host. Next, you can send me a link to it in a PM, and I can post it. I hope one of you is willing to help me.

It's worth it. And free. I don't use my pictures folder much anymore. Just for my plans and explicit content.

So, can you put it on your, or anyone elses, image host then?

I don't really want to get one as I said, because I prefer to keep all my data on my own PC, and on backup disks, instead of storing it elsewere.

Anyone, please...

Ah, Silver, I know I don't really know you, but its good to see you again...

... I believe the last time I saw you around was on RZ&LWC...

RaptorsTallon wrote:Anyone, please...

Yes. The worst that could happen is that the image is removed for some copyright, which rarely happens overall.

Thanks, I will PM you the HeroMachine code.

Edit: You say copywrite, is HeroMachine copywrited then? Is that a problem for you?

Nah, the images made are free to share.

My Character. Please tell me if anything is wrong.

Hero Name: Atael, Lord of the Night

Age: 1,846,793 (He is Immortal)

Moral Standing: Evil, He fights for whoever he can, as long as he can kill things.

Costume:

Background: He was summoned from the death grounds of a planet called Feraximus, on the other side of the universe, by a sorcerer called Necorath. He was, in his former life, a great general and military genius, but in his death and re-birth, he became a powerful death sorcerer. He was raised from the dead in order to kill, and collect souls for the death gods, Kalin and Farasax. It is these gods who have granted him his power. He can't talk, as his organic components have long rotted away, but the Death gods gifted him with psychic abilities so that he can comunicate through psychic messages. His psy isn't strong enough to count as a power, but he can use it for comunication. He can hear, but not naturaly speak. Atael is death incarnate.

Faction: Darkstar

Superpower: Death Touch. Death comes in the form of dark lightning bolts, killing any mortal they touch. The soul of the target is ripped out, and sent to the death gods. If he touches a mortal with his sword or his lightning, they will die...
Movement Power: Shadow Shifting. This power allows Atael to become a shadow. This lets him move through solid objects, and remove himself from the world, in the sense that he can’t be touched, or touch anyone else.

Super Weakness: Direct, Bright Sunlight. (He can survive in normal light, no matter the brightness, but bright sunlight, i.e. Not Dawn or Dusk, will damage him.) When exposed to sunlight, he has to transform into a Raven, or be slain by the light. Once in raven form, he is mortal, and will be killed as easily as any raven would be. He can't transform back into his normal form untill he is in the dark.



NPCs: Haldrax, Lord of The Dead
Bio: Haldrax is younger than Atael, at only 527,193 years old, and is a master necromancer. He was raised from the graveyards of Galan Prime, after a nuclear apocalypse had whipped out the population. He was summoned by Atael as an assistant, to help him in the destruction of Nalar IV. They have worked together for more than half a million years, and now work in total unison with each other. He is, like Atael, pyschic and, again like Atael, can only use it for comunication.
Super Power: Raise the Dead. This Super Power allows Haldrax to summon undead minions to aid his cause.

@ Raptors Tallon: I would pick either the lightning, the fog, or the kinesis, as each one is it's own superpower.

And good to see some interest, people!

@Kasrkai: I will be posting the photos.

@Silver: Always room for more players! But please, pick something besides Objectors. We have 3 (4ish) already.

@Raptortalon: Your guy would easily fit as a villain

@Chowder: My guy is a villain, I just meant he works with the Objectors when Darkstar doesn't suit his interests.

PS: Adding an NPC to mine.

I will edit my character, to make him a villan.
I will edit the powers too.

I should be able to do my character sheet later today...

... but I won't be able to do the picture until Saturday I think...

Do what now? I do it all the time.

Kasrkai wrote:Do what now? I do it all the time.

You can't attach non-wargaming images to dakka in the sense that you can't "attach" them to your posts, or upload them to the gallery. You can post non-wargaming images by using the IMG tags as long as those pictures are hosted somewhere else.

RE: side selction - sure, I will pick another side.

My character:

Name: Iris.
Age: Unknown, but believed to be extremely old.
Sex: Female.
Super Movement: Short ranged teleporting (up to 50m)
Super Power: Invisibility
Super Weakness: Extremely vulnerable to certain forms of exotic radiation (left vague for ease of narrative).
Appearance: Slightly smaller than average height, blonde hair, tanned Mediterranean skin, slim, good looking.



Faction: Good guys.
Moral Standing: True neutral.

Background:
Iris is thought to have been in existence for longer than humanity and inspired many of its earliest mythologies, most notably the Greek goddess bearing the same name. Throughout history she has acted more or less as her whims dictate, for "good" or "evil", taking sides (or working on her own) as the mood strikes her or for her own arcane and inhuman reasons.

For the last 100,000 years Iris has wondered the globe, pushing and pulling the course of humanity for her own goals or her own amusement. Occasionally surfacing into the mainstream, forming cults and movements before disappearing again, her goals completed.

The stirrings of the imminent hero war have brought her to seek her amusement amid the mortals of Paridiso where she has used her extremely powerful powers of persuasion and secuction to seed yet another cult to do her bidding; drawing on the beautiful people, celebrities and hangers-on who are endemic to Paridiso she has formed a dedicated core of worshipers and a diffuse network of "casual cultists" throughout Paridiso society. All report and act on her behalf, carrying out her mysterious wishes.

Ohhhh... for some reason I thought you meant you can't use the IMG tags in a PM. THAT I do all the time.

Well, now we got 3 EVIL people.

Rock paper siccors. Nao.

How will this RP acctualy be played?

Will all the people in each faction fight against the other factions, or will we all be working for seperate goals?

Could you please give us an example post, to show us how it will work?

Yeah, it'll be good to see some of your posts again, as I enjoyed them in Russians...

@ RaptorsTallon, check out RP's like Blood Moon and Space Hulk, as I assume it will be text based like those ones...

Ok, text based then, but how will it play?
Who will we fight?
Will the villans just go around commiting crimes, and the Heros hace to stop them?
Or will there be a storyline?
