Thanks! I'm glad to see others excited about this.

I don't have a plan yet, but maybe something right to repair near there would work?

Here's our current plan at lemmy.nz: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=162&y=344&zoom=18&tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.nz%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F497358ad-b655-4ae1-9e42-ea70c303a63e.png&tw=112&tx=100&ty=300

Looks like we might be a bit more ambitious than others πŸ˜†. We had good participation last time though.

Edit: Updated to remove white background and convert to new colour palette.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You'll want to make the background transparent for any pixels you don't actually want to make sure are white.

The aussie flag is even bigger than your plan. hopefully we get it finished this time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Word on the street is no alts allowed this time. Last time we finished up our NZ stuff and tried to help you guys out, but without alts progress will be a lot slower!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yep, no alts are allowed this year. Also, the Aussie flag is β…” the width of last time, so it should be a bit faster.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

A lot less space and potentially a lot more participants! Will be interesting to see if you need to defend it! The brits might come in and steal it for themselves πŸ˜†

How does one create a shareable template? Do we upload a picture somewhere on the site? What format is required?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

On the website click on Settings then put an image URL in the field (png preferably as it has transparency, but jpeg does work), then copy the URL of the website

it should add it to the end of the url

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! Seems pretty nifty. Cool how any embeddable image can be overlaid at an arbitrary location on the canvas, rescaled to any size, and shared with a link. Well done!

Is there any way to load multiple templates at once to see if/how they overlap?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

there is not unfortunately, only one template can be loaded at once

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

No worries! You've already done more than is expected!

So far no one out of the 8 templates I've seen are overlapping, nice.

you don't see it here, but bronies have already that location

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Note that that's not from the brony faction, it's someone else. Our official template is just https://lemmy.brony.place/canvas

I'm currently building a small Czech flag over here if someone wants to help (happy to make edits)

I'm trying to paint the TF2 logo: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=-50&y=-203&zoom=9&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F4%2F48%2FTeam_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg%2F1024px-Team_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg.png&tw=25&tx=151&ty=43&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Maybe someone else would like to help with that. I'm kinda struggling with picking the right colors, shouldn't there be a way to automatically pick the right color for the template?

Edit: It's done, now it only needs to be defended in case of vandalism :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

TF2 currently under attack by the aussies. I'm going to bed right now, so I can't defend it.

SquaredCircle has one ready to go

Template

https://lemmy.zip/post/18747730

(Which hopefully encroaches on no ones, checked the placement as best I could.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it encroaches the OSU! circle apparently

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do you have a link for their template so I can try and adjust mine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

look at the most recent publication showing all templates

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

I don’t have a group, but if you like Pokemon you can help me work on Bulbasaur at 823, 400 using this template: link

Edit: successful Bulbasaur (and friends)! Thanks to everyone who helped! Red is completed now btw.
