Anyone want to make one of these for our team? I could set up the scripts for them.

To modify the image just use a photo editor. make sure you leave the center gray box though as that is where the script puts the numbers.

 

[DeltaSierra]

Another good idea Basher. I'll bump this for you 'cuz it's about the only thing I can do to help you.

They are real easy to modify. Wish I was more creative or I would do a better one than above. For reference what it looks like with the numbers:

Those are my 2 counters. I have also seen the script re-written to have the numbers in different spots but I am not sure how to do that.

I was going to try and use it as my avatar but you have to upload it to this sites server instead of off your own website and i am not sure it will work?

tell me what the exact size or the max./min. size in pixel. also the center gray box's size. so i could try to come up w/ something.

sorry, i'm not too good in pixel size b/c of my sillicon graphic wide screen monitor. one thing bad 'bout it is it's a wide screen 1600x1024, and big screen (17.3") too. so, ok size in my screen mostly end up to be too big for those in 800x600.

The overall size of the image can be what ever you want, no limits, but the numbers are the size they show only. Not sure if that helped. The script can be written to changve the size of the numbers and move them around but I have no idea how.

 

[DorrellCO]

The grey box dosn't need to really be there, it just makes the black numbers show up better. What the script does is past the numbers over the pic in a certain spot. So if you have a black background the numbers will not be seen, but a yellow, green, or whatever color that is lighter than black the numbers will show up.

i certain would like to take a look the script. may be i could play around w/ it to customerize for the team. like number color, position, etc.

PM or email the script to me, DorrellCO.

Better yet I will direct you to where I got it:

scroll down to SETI Result Monitor and that is it.

 

[LandShark]

"Supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in "

I had same problem, solved it when I opened the pic and saved it again. Try that.

 

[Burning Phoenix]

Yes that was it! The picture was not a valid png file. I saved it as a bmp then popped up my Paint shop Pro and resaved the file as a png and reuploaded. It works now.

Time to edit my graphic and play with the coding. You think we can later place this in our sigs?

 

[Basher]

You think we can later place this in our sigs?

I would say no. But I guess there is always a chance.

 

[SpeeDj]

Unfortunately for the time being the answer has and continues to be no, but even tho it is prolly not really what you want we could make a thread just for the counters and I could make that a sticky, and then you could still have your counters. Would that work ?

Actually I was thinking the same thing. It would work for me. Maybe a locked one and you and just add the new counters to one post so it does not get blasted away.

 

[SpeeDj]

Alright any new counters need to be posted in a new thread and then I will merge and trim any excess in them for the counter thread which will remain locked.

Cool can you change the thread name to counters or the like?
edit: I see you already did

Edit: Thanks

here is some help in editing the code to your likeing:

Circle #1: enter your seti registered email address in place of mine
Circle #2: enter you PNG graphic file name here in place of setitotal.png or save yours as the same name
Circle #3: I changed the original $black code to $textcolor and this is where you change the color of you text by entering the RGB values at the end from 0-255
Circle #4: Font size is changed here 1-6 i think those are the range of values!
Circle #5: I changed my offset to raise the result value up a little ( a lower value raises it)
Circle #6: I changed the original $black to $ textcolor to match the same in circle #3 ( has to be the same variable name)
