Passing the Torch

Recommended Posts

So since this thing is actually catching fire, I figured there should be a place to discuss formatting and standardizing for all of the images in the series.

 

HOW TO JOIN: When you upload a screenshot for this series to the Skyrim Nexus Image share, make a post here with a link to your image and you'll be added to the list and included in the thumbnail code.

 

Also let us know if you want or do not want your image to be included in the Wallpaper Pack. If you want to give us permission to use your shots, please upload them to the mod page as well.

 

If you want to have all the thumbnails on your image's page, We'll try to keep posting the newest version of the code in this topic. Stay tuned if you want to keep your thumbnails current.

 

Please add a link to this topic, the Hub page(using the latest version of the image code; available in later posts) and or the Wallpaper Pack.

 

CONTENT RULES: This relay is subject to the general nexus image rules, as such nudity will not be tolerated. Here is a basic rule of thumb for skimpiness: Use your best judgement and don't be surprised if we find your image too revealing. We reserve the right to exclude such content at our discretion. Don't throw a hissy fit, there is nothing stopping you from participating by linking to the rest of our images, we just won't include yours in the thumbnails and Wallpaper pack.

 

FOR THE GROUP PICTURE: Check later posts beginning here for more information.

THE TORCH RELAY OFFICIALLY ENDS TODAY JULY 31st 23:59 EDT. DEADLINE FOR GROUP PHOTO GREENSCREEN SUBMISSIONS IS ALSO JULY 31st.

Thank you for your participation!

Here is the journey so far:

My first suggestion would be to have the image that came before and the next image in the description only. That way it's like a step by step thing and it would mitigate any overload issues we may have in the future.

Dirk you are correct the data is becoming so large on those pages that it take's a longer and longer time to load the image, the only downside would be if multiple people upload and no one knows who was next so I suggest they also are referred to your forum topic were they could have any disputes or confusion adjudicated by the first ten uploaders or something similar (NOT ME) I also noticed that many of you are actually great modder's and am wondering if any of you are tempted to do some sporting skyrim mods because if they are well done, look how many sport's game's sell, remember the old console games and the early commodore and spectrum one's skyrim is crying out for a superior version of the race from oblivion to join the thieves guild or a mad Jarl setting a tournement with a valuable prize. I'm just a player not a modder unless you call my kak handed retexture a mod so won't be doing it.

thank's to you all especially dirk for beginning this forum if you don't mind I hand responsabillity over to you I don't mind being the first but you started the chain reaction.

Great idea to have a thread, thanks for that dirk45! :)

 

I see another problem with having only the previous and the next pic: It will only work if everyone (!) actually puts it into their description - and as this gets bigger, thats pretty much bound to fail I think. If only one is missing, the chain is broken and the viewer wont know where to turn.

 

Maybe it could work like this? : The first 9 display the first 9 images, the 10th starts a "new round" starting with the picture before him, and so on and on.... It doesnt have to be exact, as long as someone somewhere starts a new round. This way it also wouldnt matter if someone is missing links, because you could simply go back to the last pic (as it is now)

 

 

 

Another Idea: Maybe we should number the Pics? Then everyone can (in two weeks time) immediately see that there are (hopefully) already 43 pics in the series :D

lv000 there really aren't any rules, I mean obviously no nudity and stuff like that, but otherwise you just snap a pic of one of your characters running, jumping, standing, swimming, etc with a torch - not a lantern - and post it to the image share. Then post a message here and hopefully we can have some sort of participation tutorial to put the correct coding language jibbber jabber with all the images. I'm hoping we(as in anyone who wants to) can form a consensus as to the format we use to keep the images together but not destroy the Nexus in the process.

Yagho, I'm hoping to start keeping track here so we can have a "central database" and hopefully we'll work out something that works, obviously this will have to be a collaborative effort as only the poster can change the image description.

iV000, basically just grab a torch, make a pic, upload and put the code for the other pics in the description (which you can find in the comments of the latest pic)! :)

 

oh, and maybe drop a comment with a link at the last few pics so that everyone knows :)

 

 

Looking forward to see yours!! :D

 

 

EDIT: aww, too slow, haha

Anyway, are we certain that there's a lag and if so that it's because of the thumbnails? Today the whole site is crawling on its knees.

 

Of course, it's a good idea to start talking about it right now - if the number of images becomes significant we'll probably have to implement something like that anyway. As is, we hardly have any more thumbs than the ones Yagho uses to showcase his pics, and i don't think he ever had any problems.

Of course! My thinking was just that whenever someone uploads a new Pic, there obviously is no next one in the series for him to link yet. So he would have to wait until the next Picture comes in and then go back and add it to his description.

 

I have no doubt that this wouldnt be a problem in most cases, but at some point there will probably be someone who doesnt log in for a week or fergets, or something like that. And then it could get messy.

 

 

Yet again another idea: We all do the previous + next Picture link as you suggested and the additionally have a link to a "See the whole journey"- Picture. If you click on this you get to a pic that lists them all in the description. That would become one big page, but someone who wants to see the whole journey would surely not mind to wait a few secs longer.
