I posted over on the cities and housing board, but no response yet, so I thought someone over here might have a macro or even screen shot of a rebel symbol made out of something. candles on the wall perhaps? I was thiung red crystals would be cool. anyone have any tips for making outlines on a wall? I've seen ome neat things out there. How about screenies of a rebel headquartes? Thanks for your help (optomistic me )

the only macros i know of for decorating are the movement ones which could save tons of time


Seperate buttons for each of the following


/move forward 1


/move forward 10


/move back 1


/move back 10


/move up 1


/move up 10


/move down 1


/move down 10


/rotate left 1


/rotate left 10


/rotate left 45


/rotate left 180


and same for rotate right, except the one for 180

thanks for responding to me I do have the /move macros set on my toolbar...but that is good information for people to have


one that everyone needs is /move forward 50 since that is how far things are from the wall when you drop them. (usually ) and I remember someone giving the tip to sit in a chair because that way things won't get off a bit cuz you are not standing straight......that is the same person I believe who had really cool imperial symbols.......I know I've seen rebel ones too. If no one has a macro, is there a trick or a hint you can give me to make an outline of something? I don't think I can freehand one.........at least not within a year lol

Unfortunately, there's no easy way of getting around what you're trying to accomplish. My guild sister and I are interior decorators and she recently completed a portrait of General Grievious on the wall of our Mayor's home. She had to drop and move every individual item up the wall.

very cool grevious! I guess my main concern is making it symetrical......I'm afraid I'll get one side looking right and the other won't match I've also toyed with printing an outline on a transparancy film and tapeing that to the computer screen and letting that be my guide for placement. I'vereally liking the idea ofred crystalsfor the reb symbol thanks for sharing Delac....do you have any tips for me?

For what you're trying to do, I can see why symmetry is important. Try to imagine an invisible line separating your design and then work both sides of your design simultaneously. I think in this case, using a chair would help. You can drop two crystals (if that's what you're using) and then /move forward until they reach the wall. At that point you can select one and move it in one direction and move the other in the opposite direction in equal increments. Then you move them up the wall using the same increments.


I suspect it's going to take some time but if you get it done, show off your work with a screenshot or two!


Hope this helps
