StartOrbz Genuine Creations

[TheMurderedDoll]

Now this may be a stupid question, but how can I get my own orbs to be the shape of the image itself, without any background, like the sonic/ Frog start orbs posted by Blizarro? Thanks.

You need to delete the background behind the image with Photoshop, Gimp etc.
Or try to find a png of an image you want to make into a start orb!!

Hello,i am new in this forum.You are doing a great job here guys! I would like to make a question,i recently download the Startorbz and i wanted to change my start button,for test i download the chicken with the Ak 47 image and i use it,it works fine.When i donwload another image with the ending .bmp the program couldn't find it,cause it works only with png.So i went to photoshop and i save the file as a png,but the program says the following message.Unfortunately StartOrbz was unable to add "Blahblah.png" to your collection. Please make sure the orb you selected is a genuine StartOrbz creation.What i am doing wrong?

First let me say welcom to the forum. First what you need to do is right click on the chicken and say save picture as then save as a ping. Then open start Orb and select more then hit Import and select the Chicken you should have them on you file then click apply. Hope this helps.

The chicken is already a png,i told you that the chicken works fine,all i am asking is how can i download a bmp or a jpg image and the use it in the start orb.I have tried to change from bmp to png from photoshop but the program doesn't accept it.

 

[tbone1321]

all you have to do is download the image as a png first then click new and it should load into the program.
I will look into changing a .bmp or jpeg into a png

Ok if you have any news tell me,thanks!

 

[tbone1321]

What version of photoshop do you have. Because I just saved a .bmp file as a png file and it loaded for me fine. are you doing save as. Send me the picture that is giving you problems in .bmp and I will see if I can find out whats wrong.

Photoshop version is Cs4 version 11.0,here is the problem when i try to open the png.

The problem is that i am not a noob,i just cant figure out what's the problem.

 

[tbone1321]

can you send me the file?

 

[tbone1321]

Also you need newer version of startorbz.
That may be your problem.

You cannot convert a .bmp orb to a .png and load it with startorbz. The .png orb HAS to be created with StartOrbz in order for it be loaded. Thats by design. Thats why I call these GENUINE CREATIONS because they are made exclusively with StartOrbz. I went through a lot of trouble to prevent loading invalid png files.

If you were able to create them using photoshop, then you should be able to drop those same images right into startorbz and create the orb from there.

The next build will allow you to manage what I call "Classic Creations" (.bmp orbs). I finally gave in.

Im sorry I didnt pop in and clear this up sooner.

Blizo-

Here try these

 

[TKLLLUIGI]

Thanks for the answer,now it makes sense.I am able to create genuine creation,but i found some very beautiful buttons that i wanted to use right away,that's why i was trying to convert them and import them onto the program.Thanks both of you for the answers!

 

[tbone1321]

no problem will those files I attached work?

 

[TKLLLUIGI]

Yes everything works now and before i post my first message,but i didn't have time to create a new,i just wanted to import and finish.
