As many of you have noticed Chuy recently decided to do away with the BF2s sig images. I know a lot of people loved the sig, so I did my best to recreate the BF2s style of sig on tehsig.com. Here is my step-by-step guide to getting your BF2s sig back...
First, cruise on over to tehsig.com and sign up for an account. You should soon have a confirmation e-mail waiting for you, and a link to click in that e-mail. After you've activated, go back and sign in...
Once you're signed in, go to your User CP, under Available Feeds and "subscribe" for a Battlefield2 feed. In the "code" leave it as "bf2" and in the PlayerID (you may have already guessed this...) you need to put your Battlefield2 PID. This won't take your BF2 player NAME... it needs the ID number. If you don't know it, go look at your stats page under the Misc heading (left side, just above the Unlocks). Anywho, once you've subscribed to the BF2 feed you're ready to create a sig
Finally, go back to your User CP on tehsig.com and under the Your Templates section click "Create New". You will have a few standard choices to choose from... If you like one of them, click the little radio button next to it and hit the [Create] button at the bottom. If none of those suit your fancy, choose the "Blank Template" at the top and click Create. Either way you should be looking at the Template Editor screen. If you chose a default template, skip to the next paragraph now. If you didn't like any of the defaults, you'll be staring at a black rectangle with a Hypernia logo. Not much fun. *WARNING* tehsig forums has a lot of NSFW images in sigs and avatars... so click the following links with that knowledge and at your own risk; The first place I would go is to this thread on tehsig forums which has a ton of free templates to choose from (including the BF2s replication templates I made...). If you just want the template code for the BF2s replication sigs without all the pornography, I have posted those below. Choose a template and copy the template code off the page. Now go back to your Template Editor window and delete whatever is in there and paste the entire brick of code into the editor. Click the "Update" button on the top-right side of the code editor window an your preview image should now show the template you chose with your stats
Now that we have a template that works (hopefully you do at this point), go back to the menu at the top and click your User CP one more time. Now you should have a template listed under "Your Templates". It even gives you the BBS code to include the image in your forum signatures. It should be something like:
Copy that line and come back here to BF2s forums. Go to your Profile and the Personality tab. Paste that line of code into the box under "Compose your signature". If you click the [Update] button at the bottom, you should now have your new Hypernia sig but it links to http://hypernia.net Instead we want to link to your BF2s stats page right? So go back up to the code box above and delete "hypernia.net" and replace it with the URL to your stats page... For example, my signature now looks like this:
That's it! If you're of the adventurous and geeky nature, you can edit the signature template code to make it display things differently. I chose the last default template, then made mine change the color of the progress bar between red and green randomly, deleted the "ETA until next rank" and made the progress bar bigger, and a few other minor tweaks... You can of course get support for that over at tehsig forums. Enjoy!
P.S. You can have more than 1 template (in fact I have 6 right now, so I don't know what the limit is...) Please make a "clean" sig image to use here, and you can make a second naughty template for use elsewhere if that's your thing... I did
