The rep is so ugly now. -

RoryF · #31 05-19-2011, 07:14 AM

These new rep bars are awesome! Definately much better than the old ones.

1) I agree with the comment about using the post icon images. Even if you have to shrink them, they'll still be less blurry.
2) We need a new poll response for 'I think they look stupid, but I'll probably get used to them'.
3) Either that or 'I find the alteration jarring, but that's because I'm a cissy who's frightened of change'.
4) Or just 'That's progress'.

Were they intentionally stretched vertically?

I used these faces to make the icons. They probably look stretched because of the tiny size.

I think that maybe just taking the happy mud picture and changing the colour to green might be ideal, to get rid of the creepy blurriness.

That could work, but:

Did not think of this. Watch this space:

edit: How do these look to you guys?

I can make out the Happy Mud, but the first two are just splodges.

Manco · #35 05-19-2011, 09:06 AM

How about this:

To be honest, I'm not sure it's going to be possible to have different faces - I'd recommend just recolouring the one face for the different uses.

***Wil*** · #36 05-19-2011, 09:25 AM

Yes, now that one also just looks like a splodge.

STM · #37 05-19-2011, 09:27 AM

conservative wankers, it doesn't matter if they're a little bit blurry, Isee them fine so go get glasses or better, a monocle.

MeechMunchie · #38 05-19-2011, 09:27 AM

What about this? 12 x 15 pixels.

People can say what to change, by the way. You don't just have to say yes or no.

STM · #39 05-19-2011, 09:30 AM

That's an acid tear drop with a smiley face..

I am not very good at pixels.

Doesn't look enough like a mud to me - it's the lack of cheeks that does it.

Hey, how about converting the OWI icon (

) into some rep icons? Would be easy enough to recolour, and it's relatively close to the right size.

STM · #41 05-19-2011, 09:38 AM

Because we have them for number of posts as well, seems repetitive don't you think?

Yeah, that's the biggest issue.

Can anyone recommend something Oddworld-related that:
-would make for a good icon
-isn't already in use
-scales down well
?

I wonder if anyone's made pixel art of Live Ammo...

MeechMunchie · #43 05-19-2011, 09:46 AM

Addition of cheeks turns teardrop into hamster.

***Wil*** · #44 05-19-2011, 09:52 AM

SpooceShrubs. There are green and pink varieties, after all.

Ridg3 · #45 05-19-2011, 09:52 AM

Can we not just keep them the way they are? Or at least (if possible) give the forums an option to switch between rep bar types if they don't like it?

Manco · #46 05-19-2011, 09:59 AM

What do you guys think of this:

e: red eyes optional.

That's pretty cool, I'd change the red eyes though.

The 2nd one.

After Ridg3's post, I see no images in those that follow. It's like you're referring to empty spaces.

OANST · #52 05-19-2011, 11:42 AM

Referring to your head!

Because you're a big stupid.

They're hosted on imgur, so here's the one everyone likes rehosted on TinyPic:

e: I had problems with imgur images not loading until I reset my router, try that if you can't get them working.

e2: ahaha I just went to the User CP and was confronted by tons of little blurry faces. Didn't realise those icons would change as well.

STM · #54 05-19-2011, 12:23 PM

Well done OH, that second one is really nice...perhaps they get purpler as more are accumulated to determine when someone has broken through the 500 mark, just a suggestion.

Don't change them back, this will probably be the most interesting thing to happen here for years.

This.

AlexFili · #56 05-19-2011, 01:19 PM

The glukkon one looks cool. I think we should use the happy face and recolour it.

PS, Here's my rep proposal icon I whipped up just now

STM · #57 05-19-2011, 01:27 PM

downs sligs? =F

Crashpunk · #58 05-19-2011, 02:00 PM

I like them. If you can improve them a little bit such as making them less blury, that would be awesome.

enchilado · #59 05-19-2011, 02:44 PM

What about a bar... something like this?

Made of sections 1 pixel wide, and you get an extra bar every 10 rep.

I could make a native-looking pole or industrial pipe or something too, if the sections were wider (and gained every 100 rep, or with the current calculation).

It's just so difficult to make good-looking icons at such a small scale... I'm used to 32x32 pixel art.

STM · #60 05-19-2011, 02:46 PM

^ This is also a good idea! Awk, too many good ideas! *faints.
