Forums - Emoticons!

- - Emoticons! (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=17854)

Finally found a workaround for uploading emoticons to the server. :transient:

Meaning, we can officially add new ones. :venom:

So, what do you want to see? :spyder:

I propose gaming related emoticons. I want an Avatar emoticon and some other shizzle. How about a miniature Doom Guy?

:spyder: The fuckhead says: Allrighty!

What dimensions are the smilies limited to? I know you don't want anything ridiculously large, but there are some images I can provide to flesh out the forums with a few gaming related emoticons.

I have a GB of them...not really :p but I would like to help ;)

Can I insert them here? I could also prepare a .zip/.rar

if we're gonna add new ones let them keep same size and style as current ones

No, the style is unnecessary, it's fine to have a round yellow one and then have a small realistic human head wearing a party hat. It's a forum, not the front page.

I just suggest we try to use unique emoticons, none of that stock crap people use regularly, it's not difficult to make these suckers and having unique emoticons is better than just a bunch of random ones from various sources.

Also it brings up the prospect that if something stupid happens here we can create an emoticon to remember it by.

EDIT: It's not too hard to tidy something like this up : http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/8...uyangryef9.png

And turn it into an emoticon.

EDIT 2: Holy butt, well there you go, easy as pie. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/532...uyangrydq8.png Now if you're pissed you can have Doom Guy express it for you.

Some original AB ones would be nice: The viking, the wallbash, the thumbs-up, the tomato, the ... kosta? Can we do his head somehow, from his avatar? :venom: :nuts:

And an electric guitar! And a "cool" icon with diamante pink sunglasses! And a black horsehead of doom! [for horseman - :horseman: gets you a black horsehead with a grin, or something]. And a carrot! [for teh horse]

Project Gutenberg has cute animated ones. There's a whole band playing, a smiley vacuuming, a smiley carving the venus de'Milo, then chopping off the arms and grinning... The sky's the limit...!

*gets carried away....* :transient:

They're not really limited. The standard ones are 16x16, 20x20 is fine too, but there's nothing to prevent larger ones.

I dont know if its still available, but I would like to see the old "smile" smiley back.

You know, the one that was like "Im listening to you"

EDIT: Can you add this?

Maybe, but mostly a MJ w*nkfest. :titan:

The man has a robot codpiece. That's *gay*

:woot: :tomato: :wall:

The Reloaded set is almost the same as the old forum set. I'll check it after adding the old stuff back in.

hey, i liked the doom one by piggy, can it get added? (i optimized it in attachment too) and i think it'd be cool to have more abandonware-themed emoticons

btw can be text for "animeish" different, like

Code:

^_^ -> :^_^:

because some people prefer ascii ones instead of the ^_^

*^_^
Half of them were already added when you asked. :p

Now, aren't there too many emoticons? :wondering:

If everyone could sort his table of smileys, that wouldn't be no problem.

Call it a "curse of plenty" :p

You guys are aware that I outlined the Doom Guy smiley because it looks like massive shit when not done so? Just letting you know, because the one on right now looks like a dead dog.

Excellent, but I don't see a flying power suit there. :thumbs:

I must get some AoE characters. Salvé!

Damn you're right! Let's see what I can do ;)

Arete: When I have time, I'll draw a demonic horse of doom. :p

naah, you need binky :p

*reminds self to threaten horseman regularly w/syringe*

It's Death who rides Binky, not me. :p

same sh*t, different bucket. :bleh:

Other two, will you add them to smilies?
If so do you prefer versions with weapons or normal ones?

Flying Suit + Plasma ==> http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/571...tplasmaea9.png

Yay plasma flying suit err... smilie? Doesn't look very smily to me. :laugh:

Arete Take first two and put them together for :horseman:

I really miss this one, could you please add it?

Also, there are two of this into smilie table ==> ROTFL

There is no other way of connecting a single image to two tags.

*smite*... not violent, but very funny:

*cower* ... "i'm terrified" sort of thing:

and *scarred* or *twitch*, which ever you prefer:

http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/c...od_shocked.gif

Off you go, admin, and work your magic...

When will we decide which smileys we will keep?
I'm "pro-smileys" as well but it starts to become a bit crowded.
Maybe we have a chance to group them better?

I'm very happy that :banana: and :apple: are back.

And I missed these two as well: :sneaky: :hammer:

:apple: ahahahaha this is the best one!

Beg to differ. :banana:

Too many smileys? Is there such a thing? :butcher: Oh, I see you're shaking your head. Glad to see you agree :p

There's a few I'd like to see, but these should really be added (at least if you ask me) :) - guess why...

I'm still looking for the cricket.

How about a "wink" one? I used to type that all the time when being facetious or teasing (or flirting, but let's not mention that, now! :wink: )

Just a question: How can I access the full smiley list from the CB? Is there any way?

This is the list, just copy the :text: into chatbox.
http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/mis...=vB_Editor_001

We haven't added all into chatbox to prevent massive spam due to huge size of few of them :p

We need an animated Lemming walking emoticon.

We need an animated Lemming exploding emoticon. :tongue:

:no:
We need every Lemming emoticon animated EXCEPT that one.

-Walker
-Digger
-Miner
-Climber
-Floater
-Builder
-Basher

@The_Lemming: any proposal for lemmings?

You can find it here arlesya:

I will add/substitute other smilies later, keep posting them.

I love that one too! lol
But if it was facts rather than :facts: wouldn't it be annoying to always have the emoticon when you just want the words?

that's the funny part of the joke, it will look hilarious if there's always the picture instead of the actual word "facts"

But it would get old fast, dude. AND THEN WHAT? AND THEEEEN WHAT?

oh, boy... I just hate that. I know the "certain class of people" (lol @ that, btw)... a girl from my university has an emoticon for almost every word or letter. It looks like Times Square invaded msn... drives me insane... :hypno:

How about a walking Lemming? I have all of the frames for it, but I don't yet know how to convert it to an animation or emoticon. How do I do that?

Freeware, and pretty good.

actually i've been using it and it's pretty buggy and unprofessional

Of course it's not professional, it's freeware.
And it's more then enough to create some small simple gif.

Substituted few of the oldest, biggest and not used smilies with these:

:3monkey: :guybrush: :nicethread: :eww:

i made non smiling version of the :doh: :dоh:

Is it possible to have a version of this one similar to the standard smilies we have? I would like to keep the style/size.

i thought we have different kind of emoticons o_O just look at the emoticons table

also, this emoticon is the one and only, ask lulu=P

Ok, this is "special" right? I understand :)

It is indeed :facts:

http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/c...ie/vampire.gif

I need help with making the background transparent, but it really is my favourite. I just added fangs to the usual :) one we have.

I'm in the fangs of this woman! :fangs:

I added it as fangs, in case we get a real vampire. And don't complain about the transparency, I just CPed the fangs onto our usual one. :D

Thankee kindly, good lurksen :) I shall lie in wait for Fifth now :fangs:

Don't gnaw too much on him, he's still needed here. Apart from that, enjoy! :laugh:

I don't think AB can continue to run smoothly without the inclusion of reverse smug.

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ot-smuglet.gif

Seriously, listen, can't you hear the thousands of voices calling out into the lonely night for it?

:)

I hear no voices.

All I hear is the sound of computer fans whirring.

http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/c...ink3Kokiri.gif

And then screens being smashed... Somewhere, Cthulhu tries to crawl out of a closet and screams as it gets beaten on the head repeatedly with a shovel and then has its remains eaten on dry toast.

That miniature doom guy idea is definitely great.

Hey, can we change the smiley XD from "X D" to ":X D:" (only without the space, of course)? There are a couple of reasons for this. First would be that it displays a smiley when you try typing words, for example DXDiag. The second is it screws my images when I use some of my links from Live Skydrive. There are probably other type of links affected.

Test ...... XD XD XD
No problemo

Thanks. :) But my suggestion still stands for the people who don't know about that option. Now I know, but millions don't. :p

Does that kill all emoticons? :) :mhh:
