Not that I object to us using ZB, but why is the board ZB?

The Grand Tribunal / Guide to the Tribunal
« on: February 19, 2011, 05:49:38 PM »
The Tribunal is a forum where you can appeal penalties that you feel are unjustified.
To Start an Appeal Against a Moderation Action
– Create a thread in the forum. Try to include the penalty given to you and who gave it to you.
– Once the appeal has been posted, the case will begin.
– The Tribunes will decide whether or not to reverse your penalty, partially reverse it, or increase it.
– Once a decision has been reached, we will inform you of our decision and close the appeal.
– The person making an appeal can close the case at any point.
Guidelines
– Don't be rude
If you're rude, we won't review your case and you'll end up getting an even worse penalty. Simple as that.
– Post in your own thread/s
Do not post in any threads or appeals apart from your own. Any posts found in any thread (with the exception of this thread) that are not made by the Tribunes, Moderators, Admins or the appellant will be deleted and the offending user warned.
– Be patient
We are all volunteers, Tribunes included. We may not be able to review your case immediately. Rest assured we will review your case as soon as we can.
– Give a good defence
Be logical, and think about your case. Are we likely to reverse it? Is your case hopeless?
For example, if you posted this:
DO NOT APPEAL THE SAME PENALTY TWICE
Once we pass a judgement, IT'S FINAL. Creating another appeal for the same penalty will get you into trouble.
The Terms of Service apply to posts within the Tribunal, and are the guidelines used for deciding on moderation appeals. Appellants and moderators should also be aware of the Penalties Bill, which dictates how bans may be given out based on a member's violation records, and the Tribunal Orders bill which gives the rules for seeking long ban times.

Computer Game Development - The Indie Alley / Armageddon
« on: February 16, 2011, 09:49:42 PM »
I started making a game called Armageddon. It's basically Asteriods, but you're playing with a planet instead of spaceship. It's not fininshed, but I made the first and essential part of it; the map and the planet (from existing art).
I also added some asteroids to dodge.

Questions and Suggestions - The High Court / Site links - update
« on: January 24, 2011, 07:34:47 PM »
The Site Links are outdated.
Modrealms seems to no longer exist as when I click it, it goes nowhere.
But it's at the very top of the page.
IT NEEDS TO GO.
Thanks.
And it wouldn't hurt to update the Staff thread either, it's nearly LITERALLY one year old.

Computer Game Development - The Indie Alley / Pong
« on: January 15, 2011, 09:00:55 PM »
I made a Pong game using Game Maker 8. It's nothing special and there are many things that aren't perfect about it.
Please ignore the highscore table, I played it a lot in it's production (testing) and as you can see from the top, spent a little too much time playing it.
Any feedback would be nice.

Tutorials / How to: Change faction colours
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:01:15 PM »
So you're bored of the same old blue for the Scipii and you think Gaul should get another colour. Well, here's where you can change that.
(Note: This does not change every colour for everything for the faction, just the region colours and strat flag)
First, we need to know what file we're going to change.
Go to Rome - Total War\data.
There, if you scroll down (or search) you will see a file called descr_sm_factions.txt. Open it.
You will see this:
Now open Paint, and go to the tab at the top that says Colours. Click Edit Colours. Then, click Define Custom Colours>> on the window that appears.
You will see this:
On Paint, select the colour you want, look at the RGB value, and change the RGB values in descr_sm_factions.txt. It's that simple.

Wars of Italy / Wars of Italy - Overview
« on: December 13, 2010, 07:22:59 PM »
The thread on TWCenter
Wars of Italy
About:
For some time now, I have been working on a little mod. It's a campaign that includes Italy, Sicily, Carthage, Illyria and Epirus. The inspiration is from Jack's mod, which unfortunately is dead. I liked the idea, and the map, and so I decided to make my own one. It's cut from the Mundus Magnus map.
Details:
Here is a map: (from map_regions, I haven't made a working map yet)
(I know it's bad quality but it was blown up 500%, the original is tiny)
I am making two versions:
v1: Just a campaign you can put into the campaign folder.
v2: A modfolder which includes other files that have been modded. This version
Julii - Rome
Senate - Senate
Brutii - Samnites
Gauls - Cisalpine Gauls
Greek Cities - Syracuse
Seleucids - Epirus
Carthage - Carthage
Dacia - Illyria
We are recruiting! If you feel YOU have something to add to Wars of Italy, PM me with what you can do.
Any comments would be welcome,
Et iterum Italy cadant in bello.
