Updates

01/07/2008
It's been almost a year now since I last played Furcadia with any real participation within my old Beekin groups, or with the prospect of creating dreams.
Due to massive spam problems with the Firebook Guest Book I've decided to simply take it offline permanently  now, along with the fact it was never used.

This site will remain online encase it will still be used in the future, however if it does not reach 3k hits by September it will be taken offline.
I've learnt a lot more about HTML, and PHP since originally starting this site but as it is currently do not have the time, nor the will to re-design these pages.
Anyone wishing to continue the project themselves are welcome to use the text given in the tutorials below.

My work continues with a different project called the Regnum Journal; a newspaper like project for Kapi-Regnum.
You can find me there under the name Therian on the forums, or Candrakar in game.

And no, my For Life digo items on Furcadia are not for sale, nor will they be gifted.
If I were to sell them the money would only end up paying for extra graphics somewhere else.

Wall Objects - items as Walls
Credits to: Dreamless Dancer

http://www.geocities.com/dreammakersguild/wobjects/wobjects.htm

An advanced tutorial with details on how to create a special kind of wall.
Since some objects behave strangely and get covered by a normal wall Dreamless Dancer decided
To explain one situation she had in the past into a tutorial and how she overcame that obstacle.

The term WObjects has been used long before this however and basically means Wall Objects.
The meaning behind this is that it is a wall, used in an item patch.
They may or may not also have an additional shape on top of them to make a single shape
Such as a roof or lamp. WObjects are very useful but can be quite complicated to create.
This tutorial is more suited for those who have prior knowledge of creating patches.

 (Updated: 10th Jan, 06)
 
http://www.mysticallands.com/tutorials/Speakingwithdragons.htm

A tutorial on "what is dragonspeak" and how to use it, explaining about the difficulty levels in the dragonspeak editor
as well as giving a few basic examples, there are also some links to websites with dragonspeak "snippets" that
require no, or little editation, both for the new & old dragon-speakers of today.

http://furctuts.topcities.com/fshbas1.htm
Credits to: Dream's Requiem
 
A in-dept guide to the FSH Editor program, although this was designed for the Gryffe Edition of furcadia.

However, everything is basically the same as the current version, there have been
Some additional features that this guide does not currently cover.
These features however are a little more advanced then the standard features.
 
 
Portrait Design
 
There are several tutorials around for creating portraits for use on furcadia.
I've compiled a select few in a list below that I have read or used myself and found useful.
Although it may be a good idea to view them all as they all explain things differently.

All three tutorials below are just basically just large images with text and other smaller images used
To help explain the methods used by their creators to design different portraits.
These tutorials all concentrate on designing portraits from scratch.
