[Zaphod64831]

I like them, how did you reference to them in your post?

[Cbomb]

He turned the img vB code on in here see here (http://forums.vb-world.net/index.php?action=bbcode) for more information.
But if you mean are they in place yet...then No, they aren't.

[da_silvy]

How bout :disk: for http://24.0.155.35/Vbwork/smilie-ish/disk.gif
And i duno about the alien...I guess you could use :alien: but that seems to colonish...ya know what I mean?
What is the emot-icon equivalant to http://24.0.155.35/Vbwork/smilie-ish/alien.gif ?

[Fox]

I think we need a smiley for my favourite evil grin >=]

How about :ooo: for the alien?

wait, that didn't turn out right...

[Cbomb]

I'm havin' a hard time making an evil smile fit in the little 15 by 15 space.

Here's an interesting one:

What do you you think of that??

Oh, John can I make the smilies bigger than 15x15. It doesn't matter to me..what ever you perfer.

[John]

You can use more if you want, but not too big. That smilie there: what emotion or whatever is it?

John

[Fox]

What about this ones?

[John]

Hey Fox, those are quite good. What is the :eg: one for?

[da_silvy]

does he worship the dude with the horns? :confused:

[Fox]

-da_silvy-
No, but I I like this really cool 'person' coz most people are afraid if they hear from him although he doen's exist :) And... doesn't he look really cool? ;) (See the videos from Diablo / Diablo2 -yeah!)

-John-
eg means evil grin, in fact both mean the same, the first more grin, the second more evil ;)

BTW: In the Lionhead forum I saw a really good idea: symbols for good and evil, will be the best if you visit the board (http://lionhead.co.uk), search for 'good' and see what I mean!

[Cbomb]

Fox,
Cool faces man!
Oh, on that lionhead thing..it asks for an email and a password. I dont think i should give that password part to 'em. Is there an other way in?

John, i guess =] would be http://24.0.155.35/VbWork/Smilie-ish/straight.gif. But I dont know of any real meaning that the face has...

[John]

Cbomb - I found the forums in the end. Buried in frames, so I cannot post a link, but start out from http://www.lionhead.co.uk and follow the link to news and views.

John

[Juan Carlos Rey]

I'd suggest :> for the alien...

[Cbomb]

That may complicate things for the good/evil letters.
Oh, Megatron is this better: http://24.0.155.35/VbWork/Smilie-ish/wink.gif? --> :)

Cbomb: Yup! That's wicked. Tell John about this and maybe he'll also like it.

[da_silvy]

i don't have the patience for art :(

All you really got to do is copy one of these icons and edit it.

[Cbomb]

Thats pretty much what I'm doing :) Well except for the picture of the disk (http://24.0.155.35/Vbwork/Smilie-ish/disk.gif) and plus im using Photoshop which makes the whole deal alot easier!

I don't have photoshop (yet)...But I find Paint Brush or Microangleo works fine. But then again, all my icons turn out crappy...

[da_silvy]

i need ideas, before i plunge into making icons, because i'm not a very good ideas man...

speaking of an idea man, who has seen the movie "The Castle"?
i think it was an aussie film :D

How about making an alien graphic. Like the 2 aliens on the show The Simpsons.

[da_silvy]

you could probably download them couldn't you?

I have a great Idea, Can you make a D'OH smiley.

what's a D'OH similey? Did you mean Homer Simpson?

da_silvy: Can you try putting it up again? It wont show up.

[da_silvy]

its not very good, but here's another attempt

http://vb-snippets.hypermart.net/butt.ico

[da_silvy]

it worked for me :confused:

http://vb-snippets.hypermart.net/butt.gif
here it is in gif format :)

Yes, I can only view it in GIF format. What format were you using before?

Hmmm...Maybe it's because I'm using Netscape.

[Cbomb]

Well I'm using IE and I can only see it as GIF. Maybe a plugin??

What format were you using before?

[da_silvy]

But i cannot see it now :(



Icon format, that's probably why, i stuffed it up :(

what do you guys think about it anyway?

[Edited by da_silvy on 05-21-2000 at 10:22 AM]

Yes, I think it's pretty good. We can use it to moon someone when they annoy us :)

[da_silvy]

thanks, but i can't work out how to change the size to the proper size for vb-world. but i cannot figure out how to do it in microangelo 98 :(

so does anyone know how to change it to the proper format?

Ask John what the proper format is? Use Paintshop or some other Graphic Tool to convert the image.

[John]

You should use GIF format.

John

[da_silvy]

i don't have paintshop :(
