I gave up on the yellow and did a different graphic.

This is crazy how I can only make it work with some graphics and not with others.

I also tried this as a sig on a phpBB board and it work display there -- will this only work on vBulleting forums?

However, it looks teribile. Where are the colors ?

[DWard]

if you look back there is a thing about creating a jpeg and a trurtype function, which was taken off in the new version because that was causing a few troubles.

1. I can only make this work with certain colors -- 90% of the graphics I've made convert down to a 16-color "Safe Mode" look. Below is how I have the font code section of the version I loaded from the first post yesterday.

PHP Code:

// ######################### CHANGE FONT BELOW ############################
// Uncomment LINE1+LINE12 and comment LINE2+LINE22 to use default font.
// Replace "verdana.ttf" with the URL to your .ttf font
//
// LINE1
imagestring($img, $fontsize, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $output, $text_color); 

//imagettftext($img, $fontsize, 0, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $text_color, "verdana.ttf", $output); // LINE2
$i++;
}

header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($img);
imagejpeg($img, "$ausgabedatei",$komprimierung); //Write jpg to folder and set compression
imagedestroy($img); // get the image out of memory
?> 


</FONT>

My understanding was that I commented to where it takes the default -- but I suck as a programmer and that may be where I'm screwing up. The Line 2 & 22 or 1 & 12 confuse me as to exactly which lines are which. Is that 1, 2, 12, & 22 from the ########### down?


2. I see your sig is a JPG -- are you having a CRON job generate a new image every so often -- and it so, please roll me a bone and tell me how to do that. I visit a lot of phpBB and YaBB boards that I have no control over -- and they do not allow for php images.

This is a very cool hack and if I had more control over which graphics will work and the ability to generate frequent images (I know it isn't real time -- but every 10 minutes would be close enough for Government work) for my members -- it would be too Kool.

Thanx

Hi,

I'm using imagecreate() because imagecreatetruecolor() gives me a red x.

However the color comes up looking terrible! It's not even grayscale, it's just some washed out blue all over.

I've attached a pic. I know the stats text is out of alignment but I'm not going to bother aligning it until I know I can get it working in full color :P

[TJFweb]

Does the input jpeg have to be compressed with a specific value or with indexed color or something?

[Natch]

No - it means that you have an old version of GD - it also means that your server can only produce low-quality images (hence the lack of truecolor support)

[TJFweb]

What a p.o.s. server. Good thing I'm switching servers next month.
