Gallery is online

[trevor]

OK, we're going to give a gallery a try. Hopefully it won't kill our bandwidth

There is a link on the left side of rptools.net called Gallery. Take a look. Be gentle

Maybe put all the tokens in a zip file for download perhaps...

Very Cool
Do we need to reregister? (different from here)
Can we upload stuff or does it need to be e-mailed to you guys?
Might be safer that way to prevent spam or inappropriate material...

Just select to put the gallery into your cart, go to the cart screen. In the top right there is a dropdown, select Download as Zip

It's a different login, I don't know much about it, Mr Ice installed and is managing it. We'll probably not open uploads to everybody for the reason you stated, but we might open it up to our most regular contributors.

For now you can send images to [email protected]

That's one kick-butt troll in the gallery.

Can I steal it for my avatar?

[trevor]

The JRFleming one ? Yeah, she did all those graphics specifically for RPTools so we could have some super original default images for MapTool.

She does art on commission, and is in the process of getting her website up.

[RPTroll]

The images look great! Does she do Web Site layout/design (I'm talking about the look and feel artsy stuff) as well?

[brisingre]

I have a ton of stuff. I wil be seriously taking a look at this gallery, and probably swamping your inbox soon

[brisingre]

Suggestions:
link back to rptools.net
sort tokens into subdirectories with one for MM and the potential for more later
add overlay section
I will edit this with more suggestions when I have tried it with a member's account.

[trevor]

As a note, we're holding off on registered accounts on the gallery for a couple days to see how if the bandwidth is manageable.

Brisingre, we got your registration request and will approve it in a couple days

[brisingre]

ok

Try this organization for the galleries
-maps
--books
---one per various books, scans etc
--users
---one per user who submits custom maps
--gameboards
--other
-tokens
--book
---one per book-source tokens, from scans or art galleries
--User Art
---One per user who has submitted custom art-based tokens
--Tiles
---By user who submitted them
--Other web art
---Probably by user submissions, but maybe by source
-overlays
--users
---by user who submitted the overlay
-stamps
--I don't know how to organize this, probably by user who submitted the stamp
-screenshots
--no need ot organize screenshots more than this, or maybe by shot date
-art
--by user who submitted the custom art.


I just like this sort of organization.

I imagine we'll have legal issues with any gallery that starts with "from a book"

[Mr.Ice]

Do we need to reregister? (different from here)

Yes, The three apps we're using are all using separate and distinct auth systems, though I will look at putting them together in the future.

Can we upload stuff or does it need to be e-mailed to you guys?

Uploading will always only be allowed by registered users. We're not sure what hosting all this will do to our bandwidth yet, as we figure that out we will make some changes and announcements.

[brisingre]

yeah, we could get in trouble if we used scans. WoTC makes all of their art available online, so as long as we gave them credit we could get away with using their stuff at least. There is already some of this stuff on the gallery. I was suggesting the by book organiation because wotc gives it that way and I find it really convenient. I only play dnd, so this organization would work (I think) for me and other dnd players, but for anyone who is looking for another game's art, it could be hard.

Ahh, gotcha
