Changing the appearance of tings

[Rayrobi]

Who would like to change the appearance of tings to the ones that have seen in the beta version of Rayman 2?

[Glaciem]

NO

[Cairnie]

It's fine as it is, thanks.

[Reese Riverson]

I like the tings as they currently are.

[Serza5]

Yeah the tings are fine as they are.

If anything the icons for the topics should be changed to something more Rayman.

[Adsolution]

Indeed. The tings we have right now are virtually perfect, there's absolutely no reason why we would change them to the R2 beta kinds, because newcomers and those who are uneducated would have no idea why we have them looking like that. Plus, I think the R2 beta tings looked kind of shitty.

I think we should use the Rayman 1 fist icon for topics instead of the green light. It can be grey when it's a read topic, and gold when there are new posts We can just make the announcements bright red and dark red fists, and the sticky topics could be speed fists.

I thought lums would be good for that, i'd be something like :
Bad lum : Locked
Green lum : Normal topic
Yellow lum : Stickied topic
King lum : Hot topic

EDIT: They'd be glowing for new posts, not glowing for no new posts

[Adsolution]

That's a pretty decent idea.

[Rayrobi]

I agree now with you all.
Serza's topic icon idea is great, they would be better than the ones now are.

[Serza5]

Think I should try and make a batch?

EDIT: R2/R3 or origins style?

EDIT 2 : Request : A better pic of the super yellow lum from R2


No gusta that other lum

[Rayrobi]

I prefer Origins style.
Maybe a normal topic would be a normal lum, a sticky would be a flaming lum and an announcement would be a lum king.

[Rulez]

Read topics would be the regular Lums, maybe sleeping ones, and new posts would be the ADHD Lums.

Pro tip : Never quote large images, just cut it out the post.

I can't find much Origin lums on the wiki :S

I upload some images, because i ripped the normal lums and flame lums.
You can also see a lum icon in my sig; it has been uploaded to the wiki as Lumicon.png
Edit: i just realized that i deleted that flame-lum image. I ripped another but making it's size to 30 pixel it makes the image to a piece of crap.

I have the feeling that the R2 Tings were yet in a prototype design so... let's keep the Rayman 1 Tings, please.

Certainly, yellow lums should be the symbol for normal topics? Anyway, I'm pleased with the symbols we use now.

If you go to the Rayman Origins website, all the images you see are PNGs you can just right click -> Save Image As.

What about:
Sleepy Yellow Lum: Normal topic, no new posts
Awake Yellow Lum: Normal topic, new post
Sleepy Red Lum: Hot topic, no new posts
Awake Red Lum: Hot topic, new post
Sleepy Lum King: Announcement, no new posts
Awake Lum King: Announcement, new post
Sleepy Blue Lum: Locked topic, no new posts
Awake Blue Lum: Locked topic, new post

Sleepy Blue Lum: Locked topic, no new posts
Awake Blue Lum: Locked topic, new post

Now we have the complete idea of a complete new set of icons. But anyway couldn't be a padlock the icon of locked topics? That seems to be more locked-like ( if you know what i mean ) than blue lums.

Edit: i strongly think that we can drop the idea why this topic has been created.

Yeah, or maybe a cage. I just thought of Blue Lums to go with the other Lums, and for Blue Lums being released when a creature dies, or in this case, a topic is locked.
