Wil, you gotta tell me how to do make an animated avatar like yours. I been tryin' about the past hour and am still unsuccesful.:fuzemb:

Varrok 05-08-2012 10:07 AM

You can't. Wil thinks he's better, thus he can :)

Ridg3 05-08-2012 10:13 AM

Keep trying, Pup. You'll get there, I know it.

Wil 05-08-2012 11:06 AM

Oh, I can tell you how to create an animated gif, but you won't be able to upload it to the Oddworld Forums as your avatar. It's against the rules and there are filters in place to prevent anyone from doing so.

HYPOCRISY I WANT MY MONEY BACK

Uh.... huh.... They didn't sotp you?

RoryF 05-08-2012 12:32 PM

There is only one way but it's limited to only animating in few browsers and as Wil said, it's against the rules to do so.

That's because in this case, Wil would be the one to do the "sotpping".

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:36 PM

Roight.......... If I were to continue my work in this and to succeed......... I presume that'd be bad for me right?

RoryF 05-08-2012 12:37 PM

Well if there's a rule in place and you go against it, it tends to be a bad idea.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:38 PM

But surely, just to see if I could? A challenge perhaps?

MeechMunchie 05-08-2012 12:40 PM

That's what we often define as "a bad member".

RoryF 05-08-2012 12:41 PM

Being that there's only one file format that works for it, I'd suggest not since not everyone wants to lose a good image format because you wanted to challenge the rules.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:41 PM

Fine, fine. I'm only jokin anyway. ;)

One last try- what if I make a really good one?

Obviously I'm joking, I won't try. ;)

RoryF 05-08-2012 12:42 PM

Most likely no. DarkHoodness made an impressive animated sigpic that wasn't allowed so I believe an avatar much the same would be out of the question.

What are the odds of that?

MeechMunchie 05-08-2012 12:43 PM

Everyone would say "Hey, that's really good. Shame you can't use it."

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:43 PM

Hehe. I won't don't worry. ;)

OANST 05-08-2012 12:45 PM

I'm very worried. Stop making me worry.

MeechMunchie 05-08-2012 12:46 PM

Stop playing with OANST's emotions, you heartless oaf.

Are you okay, OANST?

OANST 05-08-2012 12:48 PM

No.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:49 PM

lol. Don't worry, as I won't bother as I found a way to recycle my efforts in making an animated avatar.

A new opening for my videos. :) My original one was just my current avatar fading in from black and then fading out to white I think it was....

EDIT: In fact I could add music to that....

RoryF 05-08-2012 12:53 PM

Reminds me of old DOS game company logo animations. Wolfenstein 3D comes to mind mainly.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 12:54 PM

DOS? I based it on Oddworld. lol.

NEW! NOW WITH SOUND!

If you still don't recognise it....

RoryF 05-08-2012 01:02 PM

Probably just the limited use of blended colours and frames. Sort of a Jazz Jackrabbit colour scheme, 16-bit-ish. The frame rate makes me think of it as well.

Ridg3 05-08-2012 01:02 PM

That's totally rad, Brad.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 01:06 PM

Just basing it on Oddworld!! ;)

You could embed it from YouTube using the provided share button.

pupbenny 05-08-2012 01:26 PM

Like this you mean?



Can we have videos for avatars I wonder. Nah, it'd be too big I tihnk.

RoryF 05-08-2012 01:30 PM

Yes like that, and yes, it would be way too big for the 20kb limit.
