You probably all noticed the new entrance pics on the site.
I've posted a news about this on the site, but as I know many of you won't notice it, I will post again here :

Quote:

There's now an automatic generator for entrance pictures. These pics used to be created by the fanart moderators when you submitted pics. The problem is that the site is growing and growing, and the mods couldn't get to make all the pics, not even mentionning the loads of requests for changing your entrance pics. Now, it only takes a few seconds to make a new one, and it's automatic, a bit in the same way it's done on sites like DeviantArt.
Of course, the drawback is that they are less accurate than the "human-made" ones, but I've still tried to make them look like the same as before.
If you don't like and want to change your current gallery entrance pic, you just have to go to the send page, click on "Gallery options" at the top, and then go to "Change my gallery entrance picture" - just like before, but now they will be changed immediately.

I wanted to add that, sorry for the ones of you who were "half-fanart mods" whose job was only to make them : you're fired! (one more example of humans jobs taken by robots! :lol:

)

Ah, and as I like to show some of the site code from time to time, so as to make you remember that yes, I code everything on the site myself :
This is a sample of the code that generates these entrance pics!

Code: Select all: <?php include_once($lg['incmainft'].'fanimages_send_functions.php'); // Search in a gallery and use the firstly available picture for making the entrance pic function searchMakeMini($nameurl, $pseudo, $type = 'fanart') { global $lg, $modules, $nsite; loadModules($modules, $type); // Get the miniature dimensions $dst_w = $lg[$type]['mini_size'][0]; $dst_h = $lg[$type]['mini_size'][1]; if($type == 'fanimage') { $temp_f = 'f'; $rep = 'desk'; } else { $temp_f = ''; $rep = 'fan'; } $url = $lg['incmainmain']; if($nsite == 2) $url .= $lg['roiliondir']; $url .= 'img/'.$rep.'/'.$nameurl.'/'.$nameurl; $i = 0; $trouve = false; $url2 = ''; echo $url.'<br>'; while($i < 50 && empty($trouve)) { $i++; $url2 = $url.$i.$temp_f; if(file_exists($url2.".jpg")) $trouve = 'jpg'; elseif(file_exists($url2.".gif")) $trouve = 'gif'; elseif(file_exists($url2.".png")) $trouve = 'png'; } if(!empty($trouve)) { @unlink($url.'.'.$trouve); makeMini($url2.'.'.$trouve, $url.'.jpg', $pseudo, $dst_w, $dst_h, $type, $trouve); } } // Create a small entrance pic function makeMini($img_src,$img_dest, $pseudo, $dst_w = 120, $dst_h = 70, $type = '', $type_img = 'jpg') { global $lg; // Fan images or fanarts if(empty($type)) $type = 'fanimage'; $pseudo = ucfirst($pseudo); // Read the picture dimensions if(!file_exists($img_src)) { echo("The file $img_src doesn't exists!"); return false; } if(filesize($img_src) < 10) { echo("Invalid file size!"); return false; } // Create an empty image with the right dimensions $dst_im = ImageCreateTrueColor($dst_w,$dst_h); // Copy the source image resized $src_im = LoadImage($img_src, $type_img); //ImageJpeg($src_im,"test.jpg", 85); // Get picture width and height $size = GetImageSize($img_src); $src_w = $size[0]; $src_h = $size[1]; // Crop the source image $tmp = cutOriginalPicture($src_im, $dst_im, $src_w, $src_h, $dst_w, $dst_h); $src_im = $tmp[0]; $src_w = $tmp[1]; $src_h = $tmp[2]; if (ImageCopyResampled($dst_im,$src_im,0,0,0,0,$dst_w,$dst_h,$src_w,$src_h) == FALSE) { echo("Probleme while resizing."); return false; } // Fading color $fade_color = 15; // Get the right font size and cut the pseudo if necessary $font_size = 10; $text_to_display = $pseudo; $factor = 7; // Get the right font sizes according to text length if(strlen($pseudo) < 6) { $font_size = 13; $factor = 8;} elseif(strlen($pseudo) < 9) { $font_size = 11; $factor = 7;} elseif(strlen($pseudo) < 20) { $font_size = 9; $factor = 6.2;} else { $text_to_display = cutLong($pseudo, 20, ' . . .'); $font_size = 8; $factor = 4.1;} // Fade the entire picture $back = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst_im, 255, 255, 255, 80); imagefilledrectangle($dst_im, 0, 0, $dst_w - 1, $dst_h - 1, $back); // If fanart, make greyscale if($type=='fanart') { $dst_im = full_greyscale($dst_im,$dst_w,$dst_h); } // Add a little white rectangle to write the name $positionx = $dst_w - 10 - strlen($text_to_display) * $factor; $positiony = $dst_h - 15; $tc = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst_im, 255, 255, 255, $fade_color); // alpha color $bgc = imagecolorallocate($dst_im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($dst_im, $positionx + 1, $positiony + 1, $dst_w, $dst_h, $tc); // Vertical shading $fade = $fade_color; for($j=$positiony;$j>($positiony-10);$j--) { $temp_coul = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst_im, 230, 230, 230, $fade); $fade = $fade + 15; if($fade > 127) $fade = 127; for($p=$positionx;$p<$dst_w;$p++) { imagesetpixel($dst_im, $p, $j, $temp_coul); } } // Horizontal shading $fade = $fade_color; for($p=$positionx;$p>($positionx-10);$p--) { $temp_coul = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst_im, 255, 255, 255, $fade); $fade = $fade + 15; if($fade > 127) $fade = 127; for($j=$positiony;$j<$dst_h;$j++) { imagesetpixel($dst_im, $p, $j, $temp_coul); } } // At an angle shading $fade = $fade_color; for($p=$positionx;$p>($positionx-10);$p--) { $temp_coul = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst_im, 255, 255, 255, $fade); $fade = $fade + 15; if($fade > 127) $fade = 127; $p2 = $p; for($j=$positiony;$j<$dst_h && $p2<$positionx;$j--, $p2++) { imagesetpixel($dst_im, $p2, $j-1, $temp_coul); } } // Add the pseudo $txt_color = imagecolorallocate($dst_im, 30, 30, 150); ImageTTFText ($dst_im, $font_size, 1, $positionx + 5, $positiony + 12, $txt_color, $lg['incmainft']."files/eager___.ttf", $text_to_display); if (ImageJpeg($dst_im,$img_dest, 85) == FALSE) { echo("Impossible to save the picture!"); return false; } //echo "<IMG SRC='".$img_dest."?t=".time()."'

Nothing, I just showed the code that allows THE SITE to change the entrance pics, it was just for reference.
And, it has probably changed but your browser probably put it in cache so you still see the same one, that's why I said to "wait if it has not immediately changed".
If you don't want to wait, press "CTRL + F5" on your keyboard when you're on your fanart page.
