Got a pic ready, but I'm not sure how to set it up on my local web server. I'm running Abyss. Can anyone help me?

and when you visit sigx.php directly, you get an error page.

Okay, I sat down, and put together this Abyss Web Server for my system. The question is,
in php.ini, do you have GD enabled? (extension=php_gd2.dll)

Before I enabled it, I actually got a different error message.


Addendum:
Did you also follow these instructions when setting up Abyss and PHP?

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I'm going to try the php.ini thing now.

EDIT: AHH! It worked! Thanks alot, bro. The amount of helpfulness in this community makes SigX so much better.

Getting off topic a bit, but where's the setting for font color?

you controll font color trhough the modify page, i made it easy for you like that :)

if you dont want to go to the modify page, just comment out the $fc = GetMid .. and put $fc = "33,33,55" whatever u want for the RGB colors.

Ahh.. didn't notice. Lack of observation, I suppose.

well, first you cant use imagecreatetruecolor() to do transperancies. instead you have to use imagecreate() function. should be somewhere line 137.


then you would have to find out exactly what color u want to be transparent, use photoshop color picker tool to get RBG

in the code you would comment out line 153 and definte the transperant color.

so lets say u want black to be your transparent color, you would do something like this:


get RGB for Black = (255,255,255)

Code:
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
ImageColorTransparent($im, $black);

It kind of works, but when I change imagecreatetruecolor() to imagecreate(), I get this:

instead of this:

Any ideas?

the imagecreate() is obviously less colors then true colors. and making it look crappier,

the imagecreate is like 256 colors


i'd like to see ur whole sig and compare in large context.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for good image quality, even obsessive compulsive about it sometimes. It doesn't look too bad, I'd just rather have it as close to perfection as possible. I appreciate the help greatly, though.
