Graal Status Image

[coreys]

So many of you are familiar with the couple different methods too have an image in your signature that says what server your account is on. The original method is a script on Graal Statistics, which is ugly, but works. The other is a similar, and prettier script on Maloria's website.

A while back I got access to that php script from Maloria's server from Maniaman so that I could update it. I added a background image, mostly. I never did anything with it until now.


(Just use http://coreymedia.com/graal/graalsta...=your_nickname)

But Maniman brought up an interesting idea to me. What if we had custom background images that relied on what server you were on? I think it's a novel idea, and could have some nice results, but what do you think?

I could do some background images on my own, but other than that servers that want a custom image for them would have to make one on their own and supply it to me. So is it worth doing?

I think this is a really good idea. It would make these signatures more dynamic.

That seems fairly bulky to me, but I suppose since you brought up background images... being able to position the text would be great in that case.
Center, top-left, top-right, left, bottom, and so on.

Also, I think I'd much prefer them to be slimmer. Skinny and longer than what they are now, like userbars:

Actually it would be very simple. Just have an array of server names that I have backgrounds for and if so load that image instead of the default. I can add in an option for positioning as well.

It's just a little gimmick, it's not like this needs to be taken that seriously. lol

The thing on graalstats takes the information from the global buddy list because that graalonline profile page seemed incredibly unreliable, did that change? Or is there a better method by now?

Can i add the fact that the big green bar is completely hideous.

Yes you may. Haven't had the inclination to make a better background as of yet.

I added two new options to it, as well:

pos - Horizontal positioning of the text. "l" for left, "r" for right, and "c" for centered, which is the default.
bg - Custom background image. It can be anything, size doesn't matter (though it will effect load time).

I like it, and diffrent background colors and such would be even better.
