Guides

So there are plenty of guides on this forum telling you how to get your own dragons' avatars, but as far as I'm aware none of them explain how to get avatar versions of [i]other[/i] users' dragons. Clearly if they're using it as their avatar already than it's easy to just copy it. But what if they're not, and for whatever reason you want to make an avatar version of their dragon? Well, in this tutorial, I'll explain how to quickly get your own dragons' avatars (for more of a reference) and then how to get those elusive avatars of anyone's dragons. (Yes, including the deities!) Note: You can use these for biographies for your dragons. Either for relationships from your own clan, or relationships from other clans. Be creative! [LIST][*][b]Step One[/b] - [i]For your own dragons[/i] This one is pretty easy. I won't be using an image for this step as everyone should understand how to do this. Change your avatar to whatever dragon you want to get the image of. While you can also go and use the steps later on that show you how to get others' dragon avatars, it's much quicker to just do it this way for your own. So go on, change your avatar to whatever dragon you want the avatar of. [*][b]Step Two[/b] - [i]For your own dragons[/i] So you've changed your avatar to the dragon you want. All that you have to do next is right click on the avatar and click [u]Copy image address[/u]. Simple, right? [*][b]Step Three[/b] - [i]For your own dragons[/i] So for this example, we're going to be acting as if we wanted to paste the avatars directly into this post. You can use this method for biographies and posts, and even your clan profile if you so wish. Alright, so all we have to do is to click the tree icon in posts (or biographies) and paste the link we copied into this. For Clan profiles, just paste the link and manually type in the image tags. It should now look something like this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/epeCOhF.png[/img] You see what's highlighted in red? [i]Delete it[/i]. If there is anything behind the .png of the link, delete it. You want .png to be the very last thing before the closing image tag. Right now, if that's all we wanted, this is what would show up: [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/62410/6240927p.png[/img] [*][b]Step Three[/b] - [i]For you own dragons[/i] So now we have that, but we would like to add a link to the image to go to the profile! That's perfectly easy. Navigate to the dragon's page. Click the big [u]Generate Code[/u] button. That's important! Then, highlight and copy what I have marked in red below. [img]https://i.imgur.com/25gstFB.png[/img] This will copy the dragon's link. Switch on back to where you're pasting the avatars, [i]highlight[/i] the entire link, image tags and all, and click the following button: [img]https://i.imgur.com/f2YghOt.png[/img] Paste the url you copied into the pop up and click OK. Now when you click on the avatar it should navigate you to the dragon's page! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=6240927][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/62410/6240927p.png[/img][/url][/LIST] And you're done! Well, that is if that's all you wanted to do. But now you may be wondering "How do I use my friend's dragons?!" Simple, actually! [LIST][*][b]Step One[/b] Now, what you're going to want to do is go on and right click your [i]own[/i] dragon's avatar and click [u]Copy image address[/u]. This is so that you won't have to type out the whole thing. Next you'll want to follow the next parts very closely. I'll be using my friend @Meniph's beautiful progen [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=2763&tab=dragon&did=9533]Aothia[/url] for this example. As you can see, the dragon is not mine! At the time of this tutorial, she's also not her avatar. [*][b]Step Two[/b] Follow Step Three of the above part. Once you have the image pasted, what you're going to want to do is navigate to the other person's dragon and click on [u]Generate Code[/u]. I'll do the next part in images as it can be a bit confusing. [*][b]Step Three[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/357ZEhL.png[/img] Select the part in red. Only the number's between the backslashes. Delete them and replace them with the highlighted numbers in the next image. [img]https://i.imgur.com/i7nwHxz.png[/img] You are going to want to copy the numbers between the slashes immediately after the number "350". This could be a short number or a long number. Don't worry about it, just copy it and replace the number from the previous image. In this case, you're replacing it with a "96". [*][b]Step Four[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QKOPaaR.png[/img] Highlight the numbers in red above and delete them. [b]DO NOT DELETE THE P AT THE END, THIS IS IMPORTANT![/b] If you delete the P than this will not work and you'll get a broken image, so make sure to leave a p at the end! Delete the numbers before the p and replace it with the numbers from the next image. [img]https://i.imgur.com/IOmMzaO.png[/img] Back to that [u]Generate Code[/u] tab! Copy the highlighted numbers and replace the ones from above with them. This could also be a short number or a long one. In this example you'd be using the 9533. [*][b]Step Five[/b] For an example, you're link should have gone from: [img]https://i.imgur.com/8W70a3d.png[/img] To: [img]https://i.imgur.com/IhiIFoE.png[/img] Now you can follow Step Three from above to put a link around that![/LIST] And you're all done! It even works for the deities! Here are some examples! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=9533][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/96/9533p.png[/img] [/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=9534][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/96/9534p.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/1/1p.png[/img][/url] Unfortunately as you can see, deities have a larger avatar, but the method works for them!

Thank you for this guide :)

Very useful and intuitive. Bump.
