Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

What does this mean? I see stuff about images having too much noise but I don't get what it means. I read a wikipedia page on it but I still don't really know.

When you save a picture as a jpeg (for example), the file gets compressed and generates a bunch of random gray-ish pixels all over the image. Nowadays, there are special effects meant to copy this, and generate a bunch of random-ish pixels in certain areas. The gummy blocks KillertheGreat posted make good use of them, but TaskManager is saying that there might just be too much of it, is all.

it would be fantastic to have more control over the look of a block on the minimap. it can be hard to match up solid blocks with backgrounds to make them look the same on a minimap. an easy solution would be to allow toggling 'visible on minimap' for solid blocks, so they appear normal to the player but dont affect the minimap look

looks nice but i think the 2nd version gummies should be smoother, they have too much noise
i have a feeling like they were rendered with Cycles lol
Well, originally the noise was added to give that faint, dispersion effect you find when you look at a gummy straight on. And a side effect of giving a slight frosted look.
And close, the base for the gummy block (the green one is the template) was actually rendered in Internal. (in fact all my renders use the obsolete render engine) The noise, transparency and shine/glare were created in PDN.
Since some users wanted a de-noised version, I sent Crybaby this version and asked if they could be posted here. (since I was unavailable) I'm gonna add it to the front page soon.

An option like that wouldn't be so difficult to implement. But would it only be for people using the option? Or would it only be enabled on certain levels? Besides, you have to ask the staff, whether they'd implement it.

The way I'm thinking about it, I'm seeing the blocks as having a color on the minimap for sure, but that color is translucent, and the background behind it is the color that goes underneath, so if you have a red gummy block on a white background, it shows up as very slightly pink-reddish?

yeah, that's fair, adding some opacity to solid block minimap coloring so that the background coloring becomes the dominant art on a minimap. either way, it would be fantastic to be able to build a beautiful minimap and not have the colors/look be distracting or annoying for the player.

I've been looking at the various Deco inside the game. And realised, how something so simple was missed out, almost completely.
Introducing the Flag Pack! + Basic Valentine's Heart Aura. (Animated + Gold are already released, check the main post or this post by Xenonetix.)

what about country flags? maybe make it so that you have one block designated for all transformations of flags for a specific continent i.e. All North American country flags as one block, etc (including the carribean), and only making flags for countries that have been recognized by the UN (so as to avoid any political issue) and one flag for Antarctica?

I like the flag designs, even if it's just beta. Aura idea is nice but I won't use it.

I'm still waiting for all of these auras to get added. They're all simply outstanding and would be great additions.

These graphics are fantastic! Absolutely love the auras, especially that "stalker" one. Really cool. :0

Aren't some flag designs copyrighted? That might present a bit of a problem. Overwatch removed many of their flags due to copyright issues.

A Quora article led me to this
Nearly all flags are old enough that they can't enjoy copyright protection anyway. But for newer flags, usually the country itself has placed the work in the public domain. ... A trademark claim could be registered, but countries really don't register their logos under trademark.
I wouldn't know of any country flags that are copyrighted, but it does say that some countries have restrictions on how their flags can be used. However, it also says
...if you are using the flag as a symbol to refer to the country of the flag, that is a nominative use and almost universally allowed. This is typically how Wikipedia uses the flags, for instance.

I'd need to figure out some designs I could use for each flag, would someone help me go about making them please?
P.S. I'll make another topic in off-topic for the valentines hearts. Valentines is kinda offtopic anyway.
I'll be adding them to this post later.

I got nothing to add. I've included campaign badges into my area and I've gotten better at those, starting by recreating the template used and trying out 2 colour palettes.
Other thing I suggested were some new aura colours: Neon, Blueberry and Peach. Neon being a more saturated version of mint but with added green. Tested in-game with neat effects.
If you're a member of the EE Discord Server chances are you would have already seen these.

You want to rename your topic? Your not KTG anymore
Probably wondering why on Earth I bothered to make this, empty afternoon and somewhere to keep my tests. It shows each aura working without you needing to buy it to see how they will appear. + I tested some new methods for replacing RGB values, and made 2 Gold themed auras for the Bubble And Galaxy (called Golden Bubble and Golden Galaxy respectively)
