Theyre playing cards. I don't see a problem.

RKO, True as that may be, and do agree, most people stay with the RTP, and I won't play a game with the VX RTP.

lol, it can get really really long... and still be a blank page, lol.

I don't even use the splice tool, but I can cover how I design and cut up a website. Sure, no problem. Also, the <table> element isn't used for actual layouts anymore. I will proved a great example of a table used for date though.

Point of view from an artist: RMVX Graphics are horrible Its the main reason I don't use the engine, even though I make my own graphics. Theyre so offputting. The straight edge, mess of colors, horrible transition tiles. Everything about it makes me want to puke. Now, personally, I find RMXP to be easier, but only because I've been using it ever since it came out. I know the enventing screen like the back of my hand.\ Nothing about RMVX would ever make me switch to it. ever.

Thanks! If I could figure out how to send a PM to multiple recipants at once, I would send one to all my "students" but I can't do it, lol. Hopefully They'll see it within the next few days.

http://i54.tinypic.com/e13eph.png I've been working on these, was gonna make a game with them, but decided to make a style switch, so I don't want them anymore. have at them, Credit is required, if you use them.

Thats exactly the plan Marked. Css+Div's for the next session. Recreating this simple layout. Getting more and more advanced with each one. I hope to accelerate quickly though, so hopefully everyone is reading each thing thoroughly.

If this were shorter, and more organized, I would take this.

Session 2: 2/12/2011 Alright. I am terribly sorry about the huge delay's, Ive been working hard on a website of my own. Session 2 will be about using a Table to create a simple layout. This is now way, way outdated, but seeing as I'm sure that every great web designer started out that way. I will also teach you how to search out a free web host, and upload files, via FTP, or the provided up-loader. First thing I want you to do, is start a new, blank web page. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> </body> </html> Alright, now, table's are very simple. HTML is always very self explanatory, so you should catch on very quickly. First, we start with the <table> tag. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table> </table> </body> </html> Next, we add a row, then we will add 2 cells. It will start to piece together shortly. <tr> is a row, and the <td> tag is a cell within the row. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> This is the First Cell. </td> <td> This is the Second Cell. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Next, we create a second row, and two more cells within it. It should looks just like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> This is the First Cell. </td> <td> This is the Second Cell. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> This is the Third Cell. </td> <td> This is the Fourth Cell. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Now, you might be wondering; How does this turn out to, even remotely, look like a website? Tag attributes. What is a tag attribute? These are the necessary puzzle pieces to style your web page. Without them, you're pretty much left with just the skeleton of a webpage, and you'll miss all the flesh of it. Where do tag attributes go? in the tag, right after the actual "tag word" (which would be 'table' etc). Here's an example: <body bgcolor="#fff2e3"> You may use whatever colors you wish. A good way to find some color codes, is to go to google, and type in "web safe color chart" This tag attribute will change the background color. Now, this should actually be done via CSS, but we have yet to get there, so we will use a fairly outdated system until we get further. So, go ahead and apply that attribute to the body, and we'll move on. No, we're going to add a "logo" to the first cell. go ahead and replace the text in the first cell, with this: <img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2yn2ro9.png" /> Next, replace the second cell text with this: <h1>My First Website</h1> You should now have something that looks like this: Now, we are going to turn the third cell into our "navigation" In order to do this, we will need to use the "anchor" tag. It will look like this: <a href="#">Home Page</a> (the '#' is just there as a filler, and won't direct you anywhere) After each link, we will add a line break, to create a vertical navigation bar. a line break is <br />. Now, your whole document should look something like this. You can change the links to say whatever you wish: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#fff2e3"> <table> <tr> <td> <img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2yn2ro9.png" /> </td> <td> <h1>My First Website</h1> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="#">Home Page</a><br> <a href="#">About Me</a><br> <a href="#">My Portfolio</a><br> <a href="#">Links</a><br> <a href="#">Contact Me</a> </td> <td> This is the Fourth Cell. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> What you will now notice, is that the text in the fourth cell, is vertically aligning itself with the height of cell 3. What we do now, is apply a new cell attribute to our cell 4: <td valign="top"> valign is just the vertical alignment of the content within that cell, and the "top" is self explanatory. What the page should looks similar to now: Now, lets go grab some page filler. go to http://www.lipsum.com/ and generate 1 paragraph, then replace the text in cell 4, with your newly generated filler paragraph. This text is just some filler content, good to fill the page until real content is ready to be added. So, we have the bone structure of our web page, how about we make it look like one? lol. here's what we shall do. First, place a <center> tag right above the table. Then, edit the table attributes to look just like this: <center> <table width="900" bgcolor="#e4c7a5" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" bordercolor="#cda16d"> You should start to see a website being formed. Next, we apply the same 'valign' from the fourth cell, to the third cell. Now, we have a fully functioning website. Sure, its really outdated, but it works for now, right? We will get into a serious website next session. Anyways, I want you to be able to link your pages together, so follow these steps. 1. Figure out how many web pages you have in your navigation. 2. Replace the "#" in the links, with the name of a page you wish to create, followed by .html (ie: contact_us.html) 3. Create one page for each page, and give it a name (index should already be there, give the other's names that make sense ie: links.html) (for step two, just copy the index page, and rename it to what you have them set to in your webpage) 4. Make sure all the pages are named correctly and correspond with the names you've given them in your HTML document. Alright. We won;t worry about changing the content of the pages right now, we will do that next session as well. This next step is the easy part. Finding a web host. In this case, a Free one. Go to http://www.free-webhosts.com/webhosting-01.php Now, I do want us all to use the same one for this session at least, but after that, you are free to choose whichever host you wish, even paid. Go to: http://www.110mb.com/ Sign up for a Free hosting account, confirm the email address, then log in to your account. Then, go to the file manager, its easy to spot. After you are in, you will see that there is an "index.htm" file. Go ahead and delete it. Then, once it is gone, click on "upload files" You will have to choose one at a time with this system, but it is fine. Once it has uploaded, go ahead and open a new tab, and type in "your username".110mb.com It should looks something like this: http://chiefshtmlclass.110mb.com/ If not, let me know, and we will get it fixed up for you. Aright, that concludes Session 2! It was messier than Session 1, but I promised to have it up today, and I still have 45 minutes my time, lol. Let me know if you want something specific in the upcoming sessions, or if you think I should do something better next time? I hope to see your progress really soon!
-
Chief can cover this in his next Session. I hope to have it up tomorrow. Sorry about the huge delays.
-
I was about to say the same. Youre getting so worked up about people being rude, that youre doing it in return.
-
Because of the way you type. With line breaks every statement, and such short thoughts put into your posts. I thought the same thing a while back too, lol
-
Uhh, was there a personal attack made on you? You seem really irritated about it.
-
Lets not ressurect this topic. Ever. Sorry to RKO, but this was the start of something very terrible, and gave him a really bad attitude towards everyone here, then everyone just exploded. He should post a new topic about it, this one should remain dead.
-
Could you post screenshots? I don't normally download people's games, so I could let you know what i think from some screenies.
-
Starting with a much needed ban. Just sayin... lol
-
That first one doesnt look rude to me. It just sounds honest. The second one is rude, though.
-
I see a ban in your near future. You may want to change how you interact with people here.
-
If the game doesnt look fun, looks poorly made, and overall is in need of major improvement, why lie about it? Sure, I get the need to be polite about it, but I'm not gonna lie and tell somebody that there game sounds awesome, when really, it sounds horrible. We';re also probably the nicest RPG Maker community on the web.
-
/facepalm... Lol, all that "latin" on there is what us web designers use as content filler. You can;t really know the design youre making until tis got some content on it, so A lot of people use what is called "Lorum Ipsum" to fill their pages.
