Dominance War IV : FAQ

#177

hey glynnsmith ā€¦thanks man for such quick repliesā€¦ yes I am logged inā€¦ but still canā€™t see the final entry pageā€¦
I am getting to the page where I am supposed to enter the personal details ā€¦as soon as I hit ā€œsave n continueā€ā€¦ it just refreshes the page ā€¦

what am I doing wrong?

#178

Unfortunately youā€™re going to have to raise this issue with the GA.org tech support staff, as Iā€™m not staff over there :slight_smile:

Best of luck!

Is it ok to use only the dragons forming CGS in the logo and not use the tribal shield around it(. Tribals doesnt fit all artdirections and my organic nature-like design just doesnt blend with it. Will that do to represent your team? I will include the full logo in all my images, but i dont wish to include the whole thing on my character.

At this late a stage, itā€™s unfortunate that youā€™re asking now. With the logo, itā€™s all or nothing Iā€™m afraid.

#181

Ok thanks for the quick answere Glynn. :slight_smile: Yea i should have asked before but i just got the idea to use the dragons to mark out her artefact, its the ā€œpheonix flowerā€ the flowers are actually red maybe that helps, first idea ive had how to use it in my character, those tribals, arrgh! :stuck_out_tongue: Feels bad to hide the whole thing somewhere, but if i show it of it destroys my designā€¦ :confused: Do you need to use the exact values of the greys in the teamcolors also? Most of my character isnt red at all just the flower is saturated red. Lets say the flowers on her hand is red and the branches they sit on has some greytones(thatā€™s how they look right now) would that work together with only the dragonsā€¦ Sorry for being hard to deal with glynn! :wink: I appriciate itā€¦

No worries :slight_smile:

Tbh, it really needs to be as close as possible to the CGTalk logo posted earlier. Obviously, with shading and lighting, youā€™re never going to be able to match the colours exactly (in the 3D entries, this would be impossible), so you just have to get as close as you can whilst keeping this in mind :slight_smile:

Best of luck!

#183

#187

Gah. This is the first time Iā€™ve seen such an error. It says contact the admin, so you guys really need to PM Fred over at GA.org.

I know heā€™s online over there right now, so thatā€™s really your best bet, Iā€™m afraid. Nothing I can do about it over here :\

Good luck, fellas!

#188

Intentional double-post so you guys get the email notification:

Just received word from Fred. Please be persistent and keep trying to upload it. Last minute entries are bombarding the server and the system is struggling a little. It will go through, just keep trying :slight_smile:

#189

still cant get through, i guess iā€™m out of luck :frowning:
thanks for your helpā€¦

#190

i have the same problem and only 1 image left to upload and now i canā€™t log in :frowning:

#191

dont worry Robotank. I mean, there must be 1000 people posting now. I canā€™t get through eitherā€¦

#192

I cant even access the gameArtisan server it say gameartisan server is down and will be back up in 2 minutes its half an hour now?

#193

well shoot DDS, Iā€™m still voting for yours, lol !

#194

The entry page needs more cowbell.

#195

There isnā€™t much anyone can do, apart from wait for the site to come back online.

The only line of communication I have with GA.org is through their forum, so I canā€™t tell you anything other than what you guys already know.

#196

Ah!

It seems that the serverā€™s taken a bash, and Fredā€™s given a 12 hour grace period:

This is a Dominance War IV Important Update.

Due to hundreds of users trying to submit their DW finals at the same time, the DW system is doing some spectacular and extraordinary crashes. To compensate, a 12 hour extension has been given to insure everyone gets their entries in some time tonight.

If you get a white page error saying sorry after a list of code - please try again and again until it works. This is for submitting images, titles, urls, and/or getting into your personal entry page.

If problem persists all night, please contact me at fredh@dominancewar.com and include the following info in your email:
Your user name:
Your entry title:
Your thread url:
Your technical issue and error message:

All the best to everyone entered!
