¥ The Great Tip Pic of 2008! ¥ -- Version 6.0 Released Before you look a urge you to take a look at the full sized picture found the following link: The Great Tip Pic of 2008 (Hosted Tip.It) With a massive 6563.58 KB of data it is sure to kill a dial up user without knowing ahead so that is why it is not going to be posted here. Here is the condensed version but please do not judge font and such till you have looked at the full. Enjoy! [hide=Omg Finally!][/hide] This version is compliments of Dsavi and everyone who helped!! Thanks to everyone who helped and participated! :thumbsup: I have already received a few pms on next years, if you want to help the project for 2009 send me pm entitled "Tip Pic 2009" . :thumbup: ~Nic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [hide=Past Info]What an interesting year we have had so far! We have survived a forum roll back and a graphic change on Jagex part and we are still thriving! =D> With the new graphics came a decision on what to do. We have had great input from many in the community and have come to a unified decision. Start on a different version! There was discussions both ways on this being a positive decision or not. What made the decision easier was the rapid release of high definition game play to F2P. This allows none to be excluded from the picture. A new thread allows for better organization and a fair chance to all for placement within the picture. You can access the original version of the Tip Pic 2008 here. The old version will be finished and left open for those who must or choose to post original graphics. At the end of the year both will be displayed with pride! I have learned so much through the early 2008 and Xecer as well. As we have seen that we are a little limited we have asked someone else to help us... Tripsis will be a great help! There are a couple more changes as far as submissions go. For clarification if you could please post your submissions using the following form: Forum Name:n_odie Runescape Name:N_odie (This is if you want you name different or capitalized on the pic) Picture: URL to PNG format picture [b]Forum Name:[/b] [b]Runescape Name:[/b] [b]Picture:[/b] Taking the time to do that really does help us!

Try to get your player as centered as possible and take a screenshot by pressing the print screen button on your keyboard. Step 2 ~Cropping the Picture Crop the picture to an appropriate working size. Step 3 ~Applying a White Background Use the flood tool and take out any brown that is not part of your player.

Hopefully this will cut down mess-ups due imperfection... or triple it. So far we have it under control but if we ever need any assistance we will PM anyone who shows interest. :[/hide] [hide=The History]The Valor and Uular have done a great job in the past and I have been allowed the privilege to host this year. If you are curious as to the past two years, take a look at the following links: 2007 & 2006. The Great Tip Pic was started because while we may see many through our travels through Runescape, there is no way to see them all! So the thread was started and turned into something of huge proportion! While it does not take the place of meeting fellow Tif members face to face it gives us a picture of all! Thanks! ~N_odie[/hide]

Here is a guide that really does well explaining most anything that has to do with metal dragons. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=522985 lol, reread post. Melee them ftw! :thumbsup:

I don't.... string is the slower part of fletching as you do 14 bows a go and takes alot of banking. With the new bank it may be a little better with the withdraw 14 (last number) feature. :D Would not be bad overall. I know one guy who has 40m fletching xp just from doing this just to make cash. :P

Better not barrow any leg armor. :XD:

Buy unstrung yew longs and strings and string them. You will make a profit. :)

I split the topic as this allows us to get this done in a more organized way. You say it is ok to take all textual information... is it ok to use images?

DONE :P By Darkblade :P Split topic for best assistance.

Hopefully the custom uploads will also open for really nice custom sigs as one won't be just limited to the poses provided.

Thanks! Should be uploaded soon!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :ohnoes: :shock: :lol: :twisted: Great video!

:shock: I forget about sweden for a month and bam! :D Live long and prosper my friend!

I would love to see that in game, becasue.... well i just want to lol. :lol: Great achievement!10/10

Compare other's achievements to this..... I give Kyle's rating a 0/10 becasue it doesn't rate the achievement. 10/10 on this achievement! I know you have been working on it for quite a while! :mrgreen:

As long as there is someone looking for a hot topic... Lat, :shock: they couldn't make a plate like that or the Runescape universe would implode on itself! :thumbsup: TBH, I am enjoying the fact that they are branching away from dragon items. It really lets them expand to more areas! (If i worked at Jagex I would have so much fun making fake pictures and placing them where people think they found something :lol: )

TBH, I hop on invisible and just read.... nice for everyone to not always know where you are!

+1 Everyone can expect to see some good come from this new admin!

Yes old, but has anyone looked at logo's on the capes behind it? They don't look like existing skill icons..... gah now I have to go and look for that old post to see if anyone has noticed them yet....

As you are new to the forum you may are probably no familiar with all the subforums of the site. Which is ok! (Just take notes so the mods dont get to play hot potato 8-) ) The Bestiary has a lot of monsters and we plan on updating the pics when we can! Tzhaar monsters are important and there was a thread (think lost with rollback) that had them but we didn't get to upload them at that moment. As mentioned, you can help! There is a sticky in the bestiary subforum that ask for new pictures: Graphically updated monsters And as mentioned, we credit you for your help! I am locking the post as the above sticky is there for further discussion. ;)

Great! I'm going to go ahead and close this one! If you find that they drop any other color charms feel free to make a new post! Keep fighting the fine fight! Oh, :oops: I mean keep up the good work! ~N Edit: As I am still learning I got a hint from a fellow crewbie who said that if one color of charm is dropped it drops all. So this topic is fully complete! :mrgreen:

There are some forums that do not contribute to ones post count. This sticky gives more info:What the heck happened to my Postcount ! ! ? Pm me if you have any other questions!

Thanks! Should be uploaded soon! Credited & uploaded!
