(Maybe 10 minutes, maybe a little more...)Sadly, I'm not doing these pixel by pixel like I used to do, Photoshop's anti-aliasing has ruined me. Basically, I'm taking pictures of faces from the show, and a couple of fan-drawn things, shrinking them and cleaning everything up. It looks good though, at least, in my opinion

Anyways, you can send me anything you think would make a good emoticon and I'll get it done for you.

Tried making an animated gif but it more or less fails. I don't really know that much about gif files, to be honest.

Edit: With messing around in photoshop I got it to look like this
better, but still not where I want it to be...I kinda scrapped the DJ PON-3 .gif and tried making a Fluttershy one. Turned out better than expected but only looks right on a black background

To test my patience I tried spriteing up this 72 frame animation... The product
Never again will I try something more than 15 frames, nor will I complain to myself about 15 frames being a lot!
#17
Posted 18 December 2011 - 02:36 AM
Anyways, I'll see what I find to make into sprites tomorrow, until then just send me anything you see fit to be an emoticon. I would really like this to be a site effort seeing as I hope that Ratty makes these the official set of site emoticons!

Spamming these would make lost-cause threads more annoying 10-fold.
Would be great, but some people just don't know restraint.

you could pretty much tell stories using nothing but emotes XD
#20
Posted 18 December 2011 - 05:21 AM
i don't see the problem, on another forum i used to visit, a lion king forum, they had hundreds of smileys using all the different expressions seen from that movie.

Yeah, I used to be pretty active on a Sonic forum that used chao sprites. That's actually where I got the idea to do this from.

I wouldn't put those two words in the same sentence if I were you...

Of course, instead of making your own emoticons you could just steal them all from r/mylittlepony.

I find myself squinting at them, although I can see it perfectly.
Don't squint too hard or you'll see all the mistakes I make. I like making sprites cos you make mistakes then just ignore them cos they're so small

And for the time being I'm watching random episodes to steal faces from so it's going to be a lot of faces from whoever is feature in that episode. So, expect a lot of Rainbow Dash to come for now and possibly more Fluttershy later until I watch another episode.

I'll be doing different characters now, don't worry. I just watched a RD episode to grab em all, thinking of looking for a Rarity laden one next since she only has one picture so far.
Just gonna throw these on the end of this post here

The title is more or less a publicity stunt, hopefully nopony is dumb enough to try and pm Ratty. I think it would be kinda cool to have pony emoticons though, and, if I have to pm Ratty to get them added to the site, then I shall. But... Hopefully I don't have to do that, I'm kinda too scared to.
And I don't say "kind of!" I'm from the south, we just say kinda!

Don't PM ratty. He has seen this thread and it is not possible to change the emoticons with this forum type. (I may be wrong but I heard something about money to do it. I wasn't paying much attention at that time.)>I kind of want to PM Ratty this idea

Anyways, I'll get more of these done later today, once I've had some sleep because even if Ratty can't change them, although I don't see completely as to why no, people can still use them through the image codes I keep on the first post. Although, it is kind of inconvenient.
Edit: Updated the first post so that it should be easier to copy and paste image codes. It's really is still a pain to use them though.

Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Group
At the bottom of the forum, same software used to run the Chao Island Forums, a forum I used to be active on. And they have a full set of customized forum emoticons. That's why I don't see why ours couldn't be changed. Perhaps I just don't know the software, however.
I found this topic on the phpBB website http://www.phpbb.com...-about-smilies/ not sure if it helps or not. It says you need to be able to upload/FTP the new images to the forum folder. No clue what that means, I've done coding before but php is honestly Greek to me.

I'm personally against this. I like our forum not spammed with tiny faces that, after a while, will lose meaning anyway.
Same, i do not like the idea, the icons look childish and most people are here between 15 and 22.

A lot of people. I personally don't. But I think they are incredibly unnecessary and this incarnation of them would get nauseatingly overused.
#57
Posted 19 December 2011 - 11:16 PM
Its not that i hate smilies, but like jutsy said they wil become meaningless.
I guess I can somewhat see you're point, but then, why not just disable smilies altogether?

eventually defeating the purpose.

That's why I've set out to make tons of these. I don't want the same ones used over and over, I want there to be enough to express a full range of emotion through a theme which fits these forums. Text can only show so much emotion, emoticons relay the full feeling of what you're trying to pass on.

That wasn't on purpose! I have an addon for firefox called ponify, it automatically changes words into pony speak. Honestly, I didn't mean to.
Yeah, looking through the quotes I've made it seems I forgot to disable that...

No offense taken, it's my fault anyways.
But I think that the emoticons would still be a good addition to the site.

As far as I know, Ratty has yet to see this.
Actually, as far as I know Ratty might not even be able to do this; so, you might get your way, even if Ratty approves.
#67
Posted 19 December 2011 - 11:34 PM
But remember, it's not how many people agree, it's really only 1 person that needs to. And he already said it is not possible. But if it is, is the work to incorporate it into the forum worth it? Sure, we would have fun with it at first, but eventually it would just become annoying, or forgotten.
Also, he has seen this thread according to Monkeyman:
Don't PM ratty. He has seen this thread and it is not possible to change the emoticons with this forum type.

Didn't you read Monkeyman's posts?Actually, as far as I know Ratty might not even be able to do this; so, you might get your way, even if Ratty approves.
He has seen this, and can't do it.
I asked Ratty about if he had seen the topic while I was on the server yesterday and he said he'd heard nothing of the sort, then just went back to what he was doing. And it was after monkeyman's post.
I guess I should also mention that as long as I have the image codes on the front post anyone who visits this topic can use the emoticons. It's just a major pain in the ass.

Posted 19 December 2011 - 11:47 PM
Unless the topic is completely removed by Ratty himself, and I am told never to use these emoticons on here again, I will still fight for these to be on the site. If I just stop because some random person tells me to then I'd be a fool. Since there are people, including myself, that think this would be a good addition to the site, I will continue to work on it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, but you said you hope Ratty approves; which, only serves to perplex me more.
I assume by putting your hand on it as meaning you're not going to post in here any more. Which you said you were going to stop doing a couple posts ago...

You know how busy ratty is? you know how much he HATES being called upon in game as if he runs the WHOLE site by him self. just the title of this thread pissed ratty off to the point where he said he didn't want to read much of it.
I think your right, if I was ratty i would rip my hair out if I had to do all that work
It might be best to change the topic name and not think about PMing ratty.

I understand he is a busy person and meant no offense towards him, or anyone else, in anyway. While I can see why he may have taken the title of the topic the wrong way, I used it, not only as a way to attract attention, but also out of respect and understanding as to why he would not want to be pmed. My plan was basically to get a group of people for the idea then, when Ratty came across it, he would either say no or yes.
As it now seems that the majority wishes for this to not continue, along with, alleged, disapproval by Ratty I will be scrapping this project and removing the images I have already used.
Again, I meant no offense to anyone through doing this. It was, more or less, a project I came up with to kill time that I thought other people might enjoy.
Sorry if you believe I've done anything wrong here; I truly meant no malice in any of my words or actions,
