Anime Faction Online 5.0 Development Thread

[Nanamix]

As everyone can see, I do not intend to keep this as a secret, but AF has came a very long way after making my return last winter. There were many new features, good and bad, and with the correct feedback from members, we have implemented our latest 4.0 update.

Now, with the upcoming 5.0 update, there will be several features to be removed from the forum to keep the forum simplified, and a place where members can actually promote news, as well as preparing Anime Faction for commercial advertisement to bring more influx of members for our forum.

In any cases, these will be several features that will be implemented, and that is mostly the new art style that will be updated by gathering opinions from members. Another feature will also be integrating Portal with forum news for both members and the Staff to post news about anime, manga, visual novels, the general media contents, and so on. If anyone here has any suggestion, or question, do post here, and this thread will be updated frequently.

• New Background (Preview) [Finished]

[LastBlues]

feels like the left side is more dominant than the right. the Right side has better balance imo.

make some of the letter white on the left? also change the left character! xD

[Nanamix]

Well, as for the moment I can't change the left side's render, because I've yet found any that's compatible with the right one in terms of size. So for now, this will do. It's not like it'll be permanent anyway.

Second one looks pretty good. And this marks the very first time in history that I've commended you. Two things, however: you should probably keep the colour of the text consistent on both sides, whether you settle on white or red (the latter being more preferable). Second, why's it that both our current background and the one you're working on look vaguely pixelated and not that high quality? Is it a conversion to .jpgs from a higher format or something? It's quite bothersome.

[Nanamix]

Yeah, I am still testing back and forth since my computer framerate is funky, so I have to switch back and forth on both laptop and PC to review it. So it might take a bit for quality control. And also, the format PT gave me really does needs an update, because it's actually larger than it should be.

[Nanamix]

Updated with the letters consistency.

[Nilt]

I think we have enough talented people here to be able to start our own fansub/scanlation

[Nanamix]

I'm sure, if anyone here has the time or resources to do it.

What is ?
and the larger the better, downside is that you need higher resolution material to work with.
If you're going to work with a smaller resolution it will look horrible when it gets scaled to some one with a higher resolution, the opposite doesn't happen.

Also, i'm pretty sure the reason the background looks kinda bad in terms of quality is because it's a JPG

[Nanamix]

The background is PNG, not JPEG. Odd thing was that I actually resized the image down, not stretching it out. Hmmm.

[PT-Desu]

The background is PNG, not JPEG.

which one ? the one on the OP or the one we have now ?
i'm talking about the one we have now, imgur changed it from PNG to JPG if you had it as PNG

[Nanamix]

Oh, it did? No wonder. What imagehosting do you suggest to host then? Because sometimes Photobucket ends up resizing the image, it's annoying.

[PT-Desu]

we have our own imghost for the forum, which i'm using now.
https://servimg.com

use my account

[Nanamix]

I don't know if it's just me, but that place still send me back to JPG.

[PT-Desu]

yeah, i just noticed
i think there's a 2mb limit

well, i'm sure http://imgboot.com/ will let you upload big images


nvm, i just tried it and it resized the image

you're the site's Mascot chelski

I'm sure, if anyone here has the time or resources to do it.

I'm sure we are not lacking in resources, lots of us here have gaming PCs so we have enough power to encode fast, we would just need someone that knows how to create effects for karaoke... The rest is done using Aegisub. I've worked for a subbing group before so I know it's not that complicated, we just need people that would be committed

[Nanamix]

Officialized the background, and the rest will follow.

[LastBlues]

...is the white background part of "rest will follow"?

all i see is the new banner but everything else is white.

[Nanamix]

What are you talking about? It works fine for me.

[LastBlues]

you tell me.

EDIT: seems I'm not the only one either..

[Nanamix]

I'm hoping that should be fixed.

[LastBlues]

and it is.

what great customer service.

[Destructo]

I still have a white background.
