Rework the Banners

[vonGenf]

Don't forget to contact the rulers with them so they update them.

I think I'll make a wiki repository later, and I'll point them there.

Yes, Falkirkian and Solaria both works perfectly as square boxes. It was really just for the sake of making it non-square. I don't think it works very well - they should use their current one.

You're right about Kabrinskia, I've made a new one.

What I meant about Falkirian is that the black used in the flag is probably meant to be black, and not meant to blend with BM's background. Turning the black transparent would therefore not be the correct thing to do.

Uh, why not point them here?

Yeah, maybe it's best.

I've done them in order up to Pian_new. I'll double-check tomorronw before I post them.

I'm done - I have remade all the banners from Tim's list, but it seems I must upload them 4 by 4 on the forum and 1 by 1 on the wiki - I'll do that some other time.

dump them all into a Dropbox directory and point people there.

Good idea! There they are:

I have also sent an OOC messages to the rulers of EC, Dwilight and Beluaterra. I don't have a character on Atamara, FEI or the colonies, can someone else tell them?

FEI and Colonies informed.

Who can inform Atamara?

Done.

As no rulers have updated their banners so far, it might be better for the dev team to manually update the flags where nothing but transparency has changed.

As no rulers have updated their banners so far, it might be better for the dev team to manually update the flags where nothing but transparency has changed.

By far the easiest way for that to happen is for you to simply take the updated files and put them in the directory, then either update the DB yourself or let me know so I can do it. (Assuming that all the filenames are the same, just with .jpg or .gif replaced with .png.)

...Also, it would be convenient if you could dump a fresh copy of the /icons/ directory on the dev server once you've done so; it's getting kind of behind on the banners again ;D

There is a zip file in the dropbox that allows you get all the files at once. The names are mostly the same with the extension replaced by png, but I think I may have made one or two changes (removing spaces, but also renaming to fit the realms).
