What are the chances of the Stars being revamped in Javabowl? Currently, their position on the team is "Star Player", making it impossible to give them a unique portrait, unless their is only one star on the team.
For example, Dark elves have only one Star player. So, if I add
STAR PLAYER=horkon.gif
to the portrait.ini, Horkon's pic will appear.
But I can't do that for Humans, bacause they have multiple Stars.
My proposal is to give all LRB Stars individual position names. For example, rename Griff from Star Player to Star Blitzer, and rename Zug from Star Player to Star Lineman. This would allow players to create unique icons for them.
This is already supported somewhat with the goblins. They can hire Bomber Dribblesnot, and his portrait appears, because his position is Star Bomber.
Alternatively, you can rename them to Star (first name), such as Star Griff or Star Zug.
I have already created portraits for them. I'm sure someone can create the icons (im not a very good artist, but I try).

Running List of icons needed:
Bomber Dribblesnot DONE!
Count von Drakenborg -In Progress - Cataphract
Deeproot Strongbranch No unique icon
Fungus the Loon DONE!
Grashnak Blackhoof No unique icon
Griff Oberwald - DONE!
Grim Ironjaw DONE!
Hakflem Skuttlespike DONE!
Horkon Heartripper DONE!
Hthark the Unstoppable No unique icon
Jordell Freshbreeze Done!
Lord Borak the Despoiler DONE!
Mighty Zug DONE!
Morg 'N' Thorg No unique icon
Nobbla Blackwart DONE
Prince Moranion DONE
Ramtut III DONE
'Ripper' Bolgrot No unique icon
Scrappa Sorehead DONE!
Silibili DONE!
Thrud the Barbarian Already Exists
Varag Ghoul-Chewer DONE
Zara the Slayer
Zzharg Madeye DONE!
Looks like I got my work cut out for me!

Don't really care myself, never wanted to change the images of Star Players... But this topic is on the wrong forum though; this is a Client issue, not a FUMBBL one. |

Nah, it's a fumbbl issue... fumbbl needs to change the way it creates rosters in order for star player icons to work... as far as I know the specific positions of the star players were written under their name on the star player card... eg
Morg 'N' Thorg
Ogre Blitzer |

If the topic needs to be moved, so be it.

Not true. Take a look at this roster:
http://fumbbl.com/teams/Testers.html
all of the star players have the position Star Player.

I have talked with Ski about this and he promised to do something about it if someone is willing to do icons for star players.
Client can handle this, no need to change fumbbl, client just needs to check player name if position is star player. |

i don't like the fact that they only stay around for 1 game.............. -_-
i think that makes them a bit weak... cos some of them cost pretty much... and when they go away after the match... i dunno, i just don't like it.. |

Thats not what this topic is about.
Regardless of your feelings about Stars, they ARE in the client. Unfortunately, we have no portraits or icons for them. This is what the thread is about. |

Been working on Bloodbowl's favorite chickenhead, Griff. Here is what I got:
http://www.freewebs.com/fumbblrepository/justicons.htm
The portrait comes from the GW website. Had to crop it a bit so it would match the size of the existing player portraits.
The Icon is a mixmatch of human Blitzer and Lineman icons, with a chicken added on his head, of course 
what do you think?

I've been working on a few Star player icons... nothing I've grown overly attached to though, hence no release... Bloodbasher... if we want to do half of them each we could get te job done together...
I've started work onn jordell, varag and the count.. also morg and bolgrot but not happy with those |

I like Griff... Zug looks like a big dork though. But hey, that's what he is! |

Another note, no animated icons for star players, unless they are a big guy. I actually don't even like the animations on the big guys but I'm not good enough to draw a matching profile view of them.
The reason is there is a bug with java and animated gifs. Java continuously animates them in memory even if they are not on the screen. Thus once you get a few loaded into memory it will start to affect the programs performance. |
