All good mate... I did it more out of a boredom thing last night after work... got home at like 9:30PM after working for 12 hours and felt like making some smileys.

My other idea was to make them all gear heads (like the Construct Logo), but they would have to be kinda big-ish so they didn't look like a mangled heap. I've found that 25x25 smileys work well in a forum, it's just if you aren't used to them they seem big... I might cut a few of them out from the sheet I made and give them a test in a post so you can sorta see what I mean.

Anyway, no offense taken. I knew that not everyone would dig them, but as I said it was more a boredom project than anything. I might still make a few gear heads and see what everyone thinks of those instead. I just thought it would be nice if our board stood out a little more than your standard phpbb.

If you DARE, you can always PM me for the address of the board I run where I did the GUI for the boards (someone else did the banner(s)) plus all the smiley faces. I think you might have to sign up to view anything (thanks to spam bots) but feel free to check it out.

I wont post the URL here for the sake of, well... PM me and you will figure it out fast. Whatever you do, if you go look... don't post anything there unless you want to be flamed or laughed at until you cry in a corner. Shit's hardcore.

All you have to do it watch Yahtzee's "Zero Punctuation" review on Spore... nuff said.

I like them, but I think they're too big for common use smilies.

If you can resample/find smaller ones, I'd be happy to add them .

Better?

I can make changes to any smiles you guys don't think look quite right... I have to add a few that I forgot as well, like faces for xD and a "wtf" face for example.

I made some similar faces for another board I run a few years back and they have proven more popular than the standard ones since there are a fair few more "options" for expressing yourself.

I guess not everyone is going to like them, but that's why I put a poll up to see what the majority think, so if they were to change it would be as fair of a decision as possible.

~Sol

I made some.

Use them if you wish... the standard ones are always kinda boring.

Let me know if you want me to break them up into individual smiles... IMG tags are only recommendations.

Wow man nice sprite work and animation. The dude looks awesome, I vote keep him! Can't wait to see more of this

~Sol

Yeah, but usually the consumer gets royally screwed, not developers.. maybe it's their new trick.

I guess so, but to them we are all the same... we still have to buy thier defective software.

Great run down. I think starting basic would be better, only because it would make a more complete "series" for the tutorials.

As far as your platform idea... rather than making the platform change... make the player character change instead. This way, if enemies come into contact with the platform it won't matter. I would use some kind of detector above the player, which if the player is jumping and the detector collides with a platform, the players X.Y coordinates are changed/added to, via a series of events (which over-rides any "solid" platform issues).

It is rather annoying that a company as big as Microsoft would be as silly as to break support for such a widely used API, but nonetheless this new plugin will be excellent have more features than DS .

LOL Rich... are you for serious? That's EXACTLY like Microsoft to do something like that... they do it on purpose so you have to buy new stuff all the time. It's a conspiracy I say!

$50 you say..

in a show of foolish honesty, I cannot take your bribe.

It's not a bribe per say... think of it more as an "excess bandwidth" contribution. You guys can just put it in the "time to pay the message board fees again" fund.

Then I can have porn stars and cars... xD

*EDIT*

I can also make awesome sigs for the moderation/admin team as well... so you guys don't feel left out!

The lavalamp isn't bad, but the water on the windscreen is pretty tight! See? Already heaps of variations of this simple effect... I can see some awesome uses for this already.
