Ok, so I'm going to sound like an idiot, but I have a picture of a yellow car I took from online:



And make the yellow car be red but still have the lights, tires and windows still stay the same color. I'm not good enough in GIMP to figure this out. I know there's a process to take the colors of the car (specific ones) and replace them, but me having no experience with GIMP, I have NO idea what I'm doing.

Can I get a few pointers as what to do and maybe some extra help for a beginner for GIMP?

Well, I've decided to be a madman after finding out some nuzlocke variants. So I'm going to be doing this on Alpha Sapphire, so I won't be able to do much in the ways of screenshots, but I'll be using pictures of character models. Those who saw my other nuzlocke, I won't be continuing it as I lost the save.

For the rules, here's the gist of it:

1) Catch the first pokemon you find on a route. You can't use it
2) Release or permanently box defeated pokemon
3) Everytime you catch a pokemon you have to trade it off for an egg (I'll take eggs from posters if you guys are willing to send one. I have access to some other people who can give me eggs in real life too)
4) Each pokemon in your party must fulfill a role, be it Knight (standard all around fighter), Healer (status effects, no attack over 40 base damage), Ninja (high speed and attack/sp. attack stats, low defence/special defences and hp), Tank (high HP and defences, low attack and speed), Mage (special attackers, must have more special attacks then physical attackers) and Rogue (Melee fighters, must have more physical attacks then special attacks)
5) Several things are locked. Ex. Evolving is prohibited until the first badge is obtained, no TMs until second badge is obtained, etc. (check the Unlocke on the link to see the full list)
6) Nickname all pokemon
7) Other then eggs, the only trading possible is to evolve pokemon
8) No EXP share (just to make it harder on me)
9) Upon defeating a Gym Leader, I must retire one of my pokemon and they will be put into a special box labeled "Hall of Fame"

So as I play this, I'm going to document it... So, let the carnage begin! (First post to come when my first set of eggs hatched)

(Heres a link to the variants page: )

http://nuzlocke.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Nuzlocke_Variants

IF YOU WANT TO SEND ME AN EGG, PM ME AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

I will take eggs from anyone. The only criteria for the eggs is it has to fill either a role that has not been filled yet OR it has to fill a role in a secondary slot if the team is full (so no machops if I need a mage, no nosepass if I need a ninja, etc.).

TEAM:
Knight - Murderface

General Discussion / Javascript problems... Help?
« on: February 04, 2015, 08:33:57 pm »
I'm Highmax and I'm an idiot.

<insert everyone Hi max, then laughing because they got the joke>

I'm trying to work on my Javascript assignment, and I have to write a program that creates a form that has three radio buttons that allow you to pick a flower type and then have a single text box and the program spits out the form with your name, flower choice and a thank you note on it. Well, as I said, I'm an idiot and I can't understand the damn textbook when it comes to this. I seriously don't know whats supposed to be calling or executing what because 99% of these, from what I see, is calling random names and pulling it out of its arse at random times.

Seriously though, I don't know why its not working when I've done everything I THINK is right (and we all know that since I have no idea what I'm doing, assume I'm wrong somewhere). Here's the code

Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<!-- Program Name: flowerForm.html
Purpose: To create a form with the user's name and a choice of flower
Author: Specner Durette

-->
<script type="text/javascript">
//Variables
var flower;
var BR = "<br />";
var PA = "<p />";
var NL = "\n";

//Change the flower value when a radio button is pressed
function setType(flowerType) {
flower=flowerType;
}

function displayRequest() {
var fullName = document.FlowerForm.fullName.value;
var flower = document.FlowerForm.flowerPicked.value;

document.FlowerForm.FormRequest.value =
"Thank you for requesting information!" + NL + NL
+ "Name: " + fullName + NL
+ "Flower Inquiry About: " + flowerType
}
</script>
</head>

<h2>Flower Information Form</h2>
<form name="FlowerForm" action="">
<strong>Enter Your Full Name:</strong><br />

<strong>Select the flower you wish to make an inquiry about</strong><br />
<input type="radio" name="flower" value="Roses" onclick="setType(flowerType)" />Roses<br />
<input type="radio" name="flower" value="Carnations" onclick="setType(flowerType)" />Carnations<br />
<input type="radio" name="flower" value="Daisies" onclick="setType(flowerType)" />Dasies<br />

Life Advice / DOSbox help for a dummy: How on earth do I work this thing?
« on: January 22, 2015, 11:54:12 pm »
So I saw a video on youtube about a game called Stonekeep, and I REALLY wanted to try it out... Problem: I have no money to spend at the moment, so I have to download it. And what happens when I try to run stuff? A big warning message saying it can't be run on a 64-bit processor. So me being the guy who doesn't give up, I searched online for a way to solve this... And my answer came to me in a brown box icon that holds the void from hell behind it.

So I fiddled around with it for awhile, using random online stuff I found and I finally got to a point today after fiddling with this thing all day yesterday and today where it gets me to where I have the file opened up on DOSbox where I need to be, and when I use the command "sk" which is SUPPSOED to run it, I get the copyright stuff and then it cuts to a new screen and says "You need a CD to run this". Well, sadly, I don't OWN a physical copy of the disk and I won't be getting one until I get another job.

Luckly, powerISO is something I had on here since I got this and I began to mount the CD ISO I got after mounting the virtual drive, it comes up and refuses to mount it as a CD. Ok, I'll deal with that open as it is... I try running it again and... Failure... I unmount everything and try from scratch, meaning I mount the virtual drive, I mount the game folder, and... Wait, its looking in drive D:\ !?!? Argh!

<insert a good ten minutes of screaming and yelling at my laptop>

Anyway... I'm having a BIG problem with figuring this out and I would love a hand in figuring this out. I may be a networking student, but I have no idea how to run cmd or anything like that

The Hira Region...

Pokemon Trainers of all kinds are found on this peaceful island. From the Islands of Stocdal and Lebrin to the beaches on the south coast of Central Eridal, the land is diverse and beautiful.

However, all good things must come to an end. A group of radicals in Stocdal have gathered and have invaded and overthrown the Elite Four and the Champion. The numbers of this group, calling themselves Team Highborn, increased to a large number within days. Soon, the capital city of Nold was taken, and people fled to Eridal in hopes of escaping. However, only a handful of ferries made it across, and the rest never left port. The battles began to wage in Central Eridal, as the last of the free people of the Hira Region fight the soldiers of Team Highborn. It seems like a losing war, and if the reinforcements from Kalos and Unova fail to arrive on time, then all hope is lost.

It is here where the story takes place, in Macha Village in North Eridal; the largest cluster of homes excluding Festle City, the capital of North Eridal. Soldiers block anyone from leaving with hopes that they keep the people safe. However, some soldiers are seen with a man in a long white labcoat with sunglasses, blond hair and a brown and green bandana wrapped around his right arm, who are seen with a group of people ranging from twenty to twenty five and those people are not seen of again. The man is seen twice with more soldiers each time.

This time, however, soldiers come to six people, most of whom are refugees escaping the battle. You're all gathered together against your will and brought by soldiers to a spot outside of town near the road to Festle City. You can't seem to get a hold of your pokemon as the man in the labcoat is seen knelt over something with a duster in one hand and a strange rock in the other. The soldiers surround you but let you go as you stand before the man in the labcoat

"I'm sorry I had to do this to you, but there was no other way. I hope you can forgive me. Tell me; do you know who I am?"

Welcome to the World of Pokemon!
- Professor Oak

I've decided to take on the role of running a Pokemon Tabletop game after trying it out for a bit on a different thread, but sadly, it didn't last long. I have decided to try my hand at running it in hopes that we can get a stable game going. Its going to be a rather chaotic game since this is the first "world" I have ever made from scratch and I have hardly any practice in doing so.

Here's a link to the handbooks required for this: PDF of the rules

The world is all made by my own hand, being the Hira Region:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Hira Region is four islands that separate everyone. The major ferries are marked on the map in between landmasses. Forests are marked in bright green and mountains and caves are marked with brown and lakes with a lighter blue. The place is divided into several provinces:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Each player, after making their trainer, will decide on where they came from. The game will begin in Macha Village.

House Rules:
1 ) No supernatural classes. Humans, other then Stocdals and Lebrinians with their "abilities", have no real abilities other then what a regular human can do
2 ) Trainers themselves can become part of the combat and act independently of their pokemon (meaning your pokemon can be fighting another poke while you climb a tree to save a caterpie or something or even kick the pokemon themselves). This also means you can throw a pokeball right after your pokemon's attack depending on your speed
3 ) Though heavily frowned upon, you CAN kill pokemon or people.
4 ) For storyline reasons, the minimum age must be at least 15 and the maximum is 35. Generally, it would be best if the trainers ranged from 16-20 years of age
5 ) You can do anything that you want to do. Just remember that not everything will go your way, so go nuts
6 ) Run by your starter pokemon with me, even if you're a late arrival. I will let you flesh out your first pokemon, but I'm not letting you start with a larvitar or dratini. This brings me to the next rule...
7 ) If you joined in late, you will have random pokemon, save the starter, that I will decide on based on the progress in game.
8 ) League battles will be fleshed out ignoring distance and terrain, but outdoor battles will have a map and sprites as well as terrain effects

DF Suggestions / Madness In DF?
« on: July 13, 2014, 08:24:21 pm »
Well, I'm not sure if anyone noticed it, but a major bug was caused that was just removed that cloned the adventurer after a retire. The reaction for it on some threads is rather... Astonishing to say the least. The player who reported it from the thread I saw was ranting and asking if Toady accidentally added madness to DF because his character was cloned and shouting garbage at his character (so he was shouting at himself).

This sparked an idea I think should be implemented into DF: some way to induce madness upon dwarves and adventurers, although it would be most likely to Adventurers as they can go through post traumatic stress disorder and end up with this after many cases. The way how I thought of doing so is having a second personality that is on the same position as you and shares your name and it does not hinder or help you, and no one can see it or hear it but you. So you can have an entire conversation with this guy and people will question you on who you're talking to (think Deadpool in this sense).

This is just an idea and its a thought sparked by a glitch that would be a pretty cool idea, even if its never implimented

Welcome to the world of Pokemon!

-Professor Oak


Welcome everyone, to my chronicling of my Adventures of Pokemon Red Pokemon Silver. We've all seen a nuzlocke challenge (those who don't, here's the challenge's basic rules: http://nuzlocke.com/challenge-comic.html) so why don't I give it a shot?

Here are the rules I will be using:

- Catch only 1 pokemon on a route, the first one you see
- Release any pokemon that faints
- Gifts/Buying Pokemon do not count towards the limit (no doubles however)
- No HM slaves (meaning no pokemon can be used only for HMs, you have to actually use them)
- Same number of pokemon as your rival does at your next fight
- Ignore previous rule for eggs
- Defeat Every Trainer
- No legendary captures, only kills
- No repels
- If you run into a pokemon you already own, you get another shot at finding a pokemon on a route, but no duplicates at any time
- Avoid glitches
- Shiny pokemon ignore all rules (even though on an emulator they do nothing beneficial) but cannot be used in combat if second pokemon caught on a route or is a duplicate
- Have the same number of pokemon a gym leader has when you battle them
- No running from wild pokemon battles

And that's about it. Oh, the starter will be chosen by vote by the community, as will some decisions like dome fossil, etc.

Life Advice / Problems with Lady Friend... Help?
« on: April 14, 2014, 09:35:15 pm »
I'm not going to go into much detail, but I got a friend who, first and foremost, I have strong feelings towards. Secondly, she has been through hell for most of her life with problems with her mother. She lives on her own with her roommate, and she's (in a very rude way to say it since I'm bad with words in some cases) paranoid about her mother. She wishes to speak to a family friend of mine (her aunt) but refuses to call her because she believes that there is the chance she may give her number to her mother. My mother claims the family friend is trustworthy, and will not arrange a meeting with them in person. Me being the stupid chivalrous idiot I am, I want to help her deal with this and other issues she has but I'm at a loss.

On TOP of that, with the same lady friend, things happened the past night and we kind of cuddled (my arm over her, our heads leaning on one another , not sure if you can define it as such) but after awhile she got up and told me not to touch her... 15 minutes after she seemed perfectly fine with it (I had my arm on her, but she leaned in). A little point I should add here is she has had bad relationships, but I can't tell if I should consider that good or bad (the cuddling and her cutting off, not the bad relationship). How should I take this, and what do I do next? :-\

I decided to get back into writing again, after I made a disaster of my last work (unorganized, threw ideas as I thought of them). But now that I want to write again, I need a new world to come up with. So like the great "lets make a setting" thread (I wish I had a link to it) I decided the best place to look was on bay12 (because no one makes a good world like the insane bay12 community! Love you guys and your ideas!)

There are several aspects I had specifically placed just to get started. I will list them as we go. Please try and categorize them so its easier to keep them organized and add them here.

Restrictions on suggestions:
1) The world must be stable and habitable (no acid rain, etc.)
2) Do not try to contradict other ideas placed
3) This is a medieval fantasy world, so please, no guns or heavy technology
4) Avoid going overboard on the dark aspects, but feel free to have dark elements

The year is 125. Ragnarok has begun; giants, the Jotun, have arrived and terrorized the world, destroying everything that we hold dear. A small band of seven men and women, all of Nordic blood, tired of fighting, hold a meeting, four days before the Jotun were told to arrive and destroy their village.

Nord1: "Ladies and gentlemen, I called you all here today for one reason and one reason only; we're leaving."
Nord2: "Where do you suggest we go!? The Jotun are everywhere! They won't stop until we're all dead!"
Nord1: "I know some of you think this is a bad idea, but if we stay here, we're as good as dead."
Nord3: "How do you suggest we get out of here then?"
Nord4: "We can't just grow wings and fly away, how are we doing this?"
Nord1: "That, my good friend, is why we're taking the longships north. If we're lucky, the Eldjotun will think its too cold for them and leave us alone."
Nord5: "That's so crazy, it may just work"
Nord6: "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets get on board and lets go!"
Nord7: "I'm going t regret this..."

And it was decided; the seven would leave their homeland in hopes of getting away from the strife and war.

They readied their gear and within the hour, set sail north. They braved icy cold winds and the freezing waters. For nine months, they sailed, until they reached a land untouched by the giant's wrath. The seven stepped down, and headed inland; if the Jotun had ships as well, they would have problems with being spotted. They went east, and found themselves a mountain that stood alone. It is here where they chose to set up their new civilization; one that would stand as a safe haven away from the great strife.

Now here's the big question;

DF Gameplay Questions / Aquifers: Cave In Technique Questions
« on: October 17, 2013, 09:48:31 pm »
Alright, I got an aquifer problem. I got magma, but I tried to fill it with obsidian but it won't work. I got 3 pieces of wood from embark, and two pieces of slate and I want to cave it in. I read on the wiki to do the plug technique, you have to channel out under the plug where the aquifer is. My problem: I cant get enough room to do the plug. I'm like 1 z level too short. I'm also in a terrifying biome and I locked myself inside, so resources are scarce. What can I do to channel under the aquifer without screwing myself over? its surface, 1 level down, 2 levels down, aquifer... Its 1 level of aquifer though, so its manageable.
