Note, this is for Photoshop. Any version really. I think he used 7.
If you want the second one too, then I'll have to PM it since I don't have permission to post that one here.

Well, it's more complicated than that. Here's the main tutorial I used at the start.
From there, I just use it kind of as a guideline and apply other techniques taught to me and just learned from experience.

All credit for tutorial given to Jedge. A friend of mine from another community. ;P

Once again, amazing work!  Props to the AP man!  If wasn't the type of person who doesn't like pics in sigs, I would ask you for one right now ^^

I bet I could maybe do such stuff in Photofiltre too, I would probably just need to find the equivalent functions really. I may give this a try one day so I can do a new site banner, altough my drawing skills aren't as great

Weee~ It's been awhile since I opened Photoshop. I really just did this because I had the idea in my head for a code and needed something to test it out with. This is just a test of some code that will be available on the userbar site sometime in the future. This uses a script to generate the picture one time and then after that it's just a normal picture so there's no scripts loading on every refresh. Also it has text centering. The centering is kinda buggy right now, but I hope to fix that later.

Anyway, all I have to do is go to a form, type in the new words for the bottom part, and it generates a picture. The beauty is that is keeps the original URL so you never have to update your profiles to change your signatures. (especially good if you use the same signature on a lot of different sites)

This feature isn't available to the public yet but now you know that there's progress.

The signature:

Yeah, it's not my best work as far as the look of the signature... but again, I just did it quickly for the code.

O.o nice, I like the code idea. It would allow people to quickly create sigs without having to ask people and stuff (although it's hard to beat people like you in sig image drawing since you are awesome at it :P). Will it use some weird URL code or will it use an actual image? It may be nice to have the later for forums with scripts disabled (although it may take more diskspace).

Also, I lost x.x

It will work like the current userbar generator but instead of giving you the weird URL it will just be:
"userbars.removedfromgame.com/images/someimagename.png"
and it doesn't load any scripts while on pages. Instead, to update the userbar you will have to log in to my userbar site and update the information then it automatically updates the userbar.

Also, while logged in you will be able to make another userbar or update/delete one you already made.

First thing I have to do is make the log in system and then I can get everything else done quickly.
Also, I'm not sure yet if I'll make this work for signatures too. For now, just doing the userbars is easiest... but we'll see.

Aaah good. It should not take too much server load then in terms of script execution if several posts contains such sigs.

Good luck on the project!
