-Note that I changed the direction of Olaf's shadow to be consistent with the lighting. I pointed out the error to Thunderfall about a year ago, but just try to tell those CFCers anything...

This is new...

[Andemagne]

I remember, back in the day, starting a few threads, asking new smileys...

Where is the current smiley list?

I'm working on something right now - and always interested in feedback/suggestions/requests. Still smilies are mostly super-easy; animated takes a little longer, but not hard if I know how I mean to make it look.

I just burned off my whole morning doing tighter crops of the Civ 5 smilies, and uploading same... All those big civs smilies were messy-edged, modt likely for technical reasons to do with saving as .gifs, and it always bothered me that the category ran over to a third row by one, hogging space 5 doesn't deserve. Now, they're all truly round, and definitely look better in the dark themes - I checked. In addition to only taking up two rows now, those two are 4 pixels shorter together, saving you, the User, that much scrolling down to the good ones in the Zoo.

I've been bored absolutely poopless lately, but I do seem to have enough energy for small jobs. -So this would be a good time to throw me some requests. It strikes me, in particular, that the small selection of Christmas smilies is way better than the nothing-displaying I found when I took on this job roughly two years ago, but it's still not much if you're not a SMACer in December; we probably ought to have more. Requests more than welcome...

Nice

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

They are, but I'm dismayed they're not displaying right for me. The very same files/versions have been installed at AC2 for a year, and they're fine.

You mean like the last smilie that seems to mostly disappear?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Well yeah - obviously something to do with (replace) and (combine) not working right together, but why this time here w/ files that worked other places and still do?

<- img-linked directly from AC2.

< Same, but w/ "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checked.

-Something rotten in Poly's file system, plainly - but why now and not all the smilies I've uploaded previously?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

The cheerleader's almost intact, but here's the other two---

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

The mystery deepens --- they worked fine when I installed them. -So, it's some problem w/ attachments.

<- Middle of the top row down in the Zoo.

^I did make these, from scratch.^

I don't think this is how you meant it to look, my screen resolution is 1920x1080

Wow; no. I've no idea how to scale the background for sizes larger than 1366x768 - or smaller, for that matter. I don't think vB can do that at all.

It's designed to look like this:

-And works, on my monitor.



For that matter, here's the brand new II theme at AC2:


-Good luck spotting the city I named CFC in that background...

It hits me that what I need to do here is replace that background w/ unaltered map and green-tan the listings like I did at AC2. That'll scale...
