Malagrond -> Guide to the GoCA ++ Advanced Tutorial Archive (11/24/2007 21:55:01)

Guide to the GoCA

{The easy to understand version :P}



Well, there's alot of "important" threads out there, be they by mods, forummers, or random people who know what's happenin XD. It's alot to take in, so here it is all bunched up in one spot:

Note: In the Gallery Q&A board, you can click the dialog box that says "Show all messages" and select "Show only FAQ's" to filter all the threads down to the helpful threads/tuts/resources.
(Thanks to althorne. I didn't even know this :P)




Guide to Constructive Criticism
Yep, believe it or not, there is a right and a wrong when it comes to criticizing people's work. Please read this so you don't seem mean or snobbish (or so you can point out some mean, snobbish person to a Mod/AK ;-D).

Ultimate Web Resource Guide
This is the ultimate, one-stop shop for free renders/resources that aren't copyrighted. ;-D

Advanced Tutorial Archive - Find Tutorials (At bottom of this guide. Thanks to LIMN for restoring it and providing the code. :D)
The right place to go, whether you're just starting, or you need to catch up. You can find almost every tutorial listed on these forums. It's not really up-to-date, but there's still some great stuff in there somewhere.

The Sigmakers Dictionary - AQ's SigMaking Term Reference
Great place to go if you can't seem to recall what that strange word means. "Hrm, smudge . . . WTF is SMUDGE???". This is the place to go, my friend.

Tutorial-Making Tips
Want to be like one of those cool people and make a tutorial? Here's the thread that shows you some great ways to make an interesting/easy/understandable tutorial that you can make by yourself!

Looking for a Sig Shop? Look Here. Sig Shop List.
Need a sig made and you don't feel like/don't know how to do it yourself? Look here for some great places to go to order/request a sig.

Gift Thread
Do you really want to give someone/everyone a piece of art just cause you're nice or you like them? Come here and post your gift art along with who it's directed to. (Don't forget to PM them letting them know where to find it :P)

Digital Art and Signatures Questions and Lock/Unlock Requests.
Got a question that isn't answered anywhere else? Need to lock/unlock your gallery or shop? Then come in and make a post stating what you need (make sure to use the form when requesting a lock/unlock).

What belongs here? Guide to the GoCA.
Don't know what goes where? "Where should I put my 1337 tagz and stuffz??? How aboutz my ub3r DF editz???" This tells you what is what and where to put it. This is a must read!

Dedicated GoCA Hosting Space - By Althorne
This is basically like imageshack/photobucket except it's made especially for everyone here at Battleon Forums!! Thanks Althorne!


Well, that's all there is (for now). Please feel free to point out anything I missed and I'll add it in.
NOTE: This is not in any way meant to replace the threads linked to above (obviously. -_- What would they link to??). This is just a resource in one simple, condensed post for new-comers and veterans alike to refer to.

As always,
~Mala

~Mala




Trip -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/24/2007 23:46:42)

You Could Add The Rules
=\ Just for a reference




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/24/2007 23:53:18)

Good point. >.< Durrh. I shoulda thought of that. Thanks a bunch Trip!! ^_^

I'll go rustle up the rules threads. :P

~Mala

EDIT: All rules under GoCA have been added. I might add guideline threads like avatar submission and other such things later.




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/25/2007 14:03:06)

Added Althorne's GoCA hosting space under helpful tools and resources. Thx for that Althorne!

~Mala

-Al




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/25/2007 14:22:04)

Lol, thanks. Yeah, i tried to bunch them up as neatly as possible. I'll keep adding tho, so it should always be the "Everything's all here" thread. :D

~Mala




Darklord517 -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/25/2007 15:08:30)

I suggest adding Avatar submission and Sig sizes.




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/25/2007 18:43:12)

Ah, yet another thing I forgot. Thanks CD (or wat? DL, CD, D, or Comrad?).

~Mala




2k2ewyn -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/25/2007 18:54:42)

your link won't work....

I'm currently trying to get it back




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/29/2007 19:03:45)

Okay, Tyvm Limn. First post updated.

~Mala




LightningIsMyName -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/30/2007 11:50:39)

Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (11/30/2007 12:38:04)

I'll add the links as soon as you get them :D

~Mala

~Mala

you might want to add, that if you click the *view only FAQ* button in the dropdown list, you get all the tutorials and really helpful topics




Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (12/5/2007 22:55:39)

Malagrond -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (12/6/2007 17:43:54)

:D Glad to hear it! I couldn't have done it without the help of everybody else in GoCA, especially with LIMN reviving the tutorial directory. That really, really rocks.

^_^

~Mala




zenron the great -> RE: Guide to the GoCA {The easy to understand version :P} (1/1/2008 16:27:38)
