FFR "Classic" Siggy Guide
Table of Contents
-------------------------------------------------------------- -I- Intro -II- How to do it -III- Customization: custom images -IV- Customization: high scores -V- Trouble Shooting -VI- Revision History Firstly, I apologize for the length. It must be this long to have all the important info in it. The extra length is why I added the Table of Contents. -I- Intro: -------------------------------------------------------------- Synth in his infinite awesomeness has created an auto sig generator that can be used on FFR, or any other site. These stats images show total games played, grand total score, joined date, challenge wins and losses, and your overall rank. An example of the image can be seen below: -II- How to do it: -------------------------------------------------------------- Now, to get your stats image into your signature, do the following. Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=YOURNAMEHERE Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Afrobean Click it. From there, simply copy, paste, and edit the code above to include your own name. You can preview it to make sure it worked right. When you're finished, click the "Save Signature" button. -III- Customization: custom images -------------------------------------------------------------- There are also a few extra features for you people who like to customize things. You can change the image that has the text put onto it. For example,You can make this: Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight Into this: Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight&url=http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/signature/signature2.png You can use almost any image, but it must be in PNG format. Also be warned of what Synth has said: Quote:
For example, the above changes from Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight&url=http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/signature/signature2.png Also, apparently these images won't work from where they are. I suggest reuploading them to another image hosting site (such as imageshack) and using that link. I honestly have no idea why they won't work using these links, but there really is nothing I can do. EDIT: I think I've discovered the problem. I believe that it has to do with the fact that there are "spaces" (shown as %20 in the link) in the url. Before long, I plan on reuploading each of these at imageshack myself, but for now, you'll have to make due with what you have. Quote:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/signature/signature2.png Once you've compiled your link the way you like it, just follow the directions above in part -II-, only paste the link you made in place of the normal one. -IV- Customization: high scores -------------------------------------------------------------- Another feature is the ability to display your high score on a specific song from R1. For example: To do this, add "&level=" to the end, followed by the name of the song. When putting the name of the song, disreguard all punctuation and spaces. Many songs work, but it seems that the newer songs are more likely not going to work. The code for the above image is: Code:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight&level=secretzombieroom Quote:
Again, like in the custom images section, simply follow the directions in part -II-, only use the link you compiled in this section in place of the standard one. -V- Trouble Shooting -------------------------------------------------------------- The number one biggest problem with this is that according to the siggy information, you may not be ranked yet, and because of that, you will simply be unable to use this. In game, the ranks are updated constantly (seemingly in real time), but for the siggies, the ranks still need to be updated manually, and as such, some individuals may not be able to use this. All you can do is play FFR a lot and wait for an admin to update it. If your image is appearing as a link, then likely, you simply forgot to put [img] tags on it. Additionally, your siggy may appear as a link if you have the [img] tags on it correctly, but, like above, you're not ranked well enough to be included in the siggy information and when the forum tries to display the image, it may simply just show the url and act as a link. Now, if there is still a problem, you can post here. I will do my best to help. You can probably expect a response from me personally within a day (and Tasselfoot likes to post here occasionally to help as well). If I don't respond shortly, feel free to IM me at Afrobean16 and I'll see what I can do. -VI- Revision History -------------------------------------------------------------- With the come of the new forums, I see that a lot of this info was thrown off... I'll be keeping a revisions history from now on. April 20, 2006: editted contents to conform to new standards for the new forums. HTML no longer works with these forums, it seems, but [img] tags do. Fantastic. April 20, 2006 (part 2): Having some trouble with getting [img] tags to display as text rather than a link or something. Kinda tired of this though. Will work out a fix sometime very soon. 9/08/06: Updated some info regarding rankings. Since the original writing of this guide, everyone has ranks in FFR the game, but the siggies still don't automatically update. 10/14/06: Noticed some weird wording and fixed it, and added the comment about unranked user's signatures appearing as links rather than broken link images. That's all. [i]10/30/06: Discovered the wonder that is the [noparse] tag. It allows me to post links without them being parsed. I went through and fixed things up and everything should be squared off now. Let me know if you see anything.[/i]

RE: FFR Siggy Guide
Nice tips. it seems most of afro's siggy BG don't work though.
and the fact that tag doesn't work here should be emphasized. old one by synth should be the siggy testing thread. |

Re: FFR Siggy Guide
You didn't even read this guide. Allow me to quote the part that pertains to your problem.

RE: Re: RE: FFR Siggy Guide
Take it easy on the double posts. lightdarkness doesn't update the ranks often, because it puts a strain on the server.

My FFR Siggy won't work. The rank isn't a problem, cause in the game I'm 1500 something. And I've double-checked the code in my signature.
Code:
*EDIT*: No fair, it works in the post and not the sig. *EDIT2*: Working now.
