:) :D :P ;) :( And so forth...

I suppose I should have posted the album here.

I'd forgotten about it after I made and linked it the first time though.

I could see about getting a few from Vindictus. They have some nice ones. I just don't know how to do it. :p

Would they be in a emoticon folder or something, in the game files?

And sauce was found.

Note, its only the actual smilies, not these creepy fluffy things. The ones I'm talking about have +"blah" as the code.

Umm... I followed your link, but don't see any smilies. They look more like avatars to me. Here's a screenshot,



Should I be doing anything extra?

Not a overly big fan of emoticons... on the other hand, were we to truly adopt a different set than we have now, would it not make more sense to adopt or even combine/merge the existing standard sets on the big services such as Facebook, Google, MSN, Yahoo?

Thats boring though. ANd I hate the majority of the mainstream website emoticons. Facebook's set is just terrible.

If anything, we need to, at lest, get out old ones back from oTFF.

But... why reinvent the wheel. And they would be ones people are used to. because most probably use at least one of those 4.

Now...if do not want those specific... we could use the same codes but different graphic source (might have to anyway (if those are in any way copyrighted)

Another approach is to simply grab the ones used in Unicode set... utterly generic.

My issue is not only don't I care to use them much, I find most custom sets obnoxious and intruding on reading. like the green one that expands and has itself firing a laser blast that is like 5 lines high...

Me too - I found it generally annoying. But in certain conversations; it proved a point. Still, the disadvantages out-weigh the benefits.

Same. I'll be adblocking that if it actually ends up being added, along with any other emoji that's not one line tall and more than five characters wide.

Well obviously that one shouldn't be added. Its completely obnoxious.

And being familiar with them doesn't mean we actually like them. If I could, I would pay to be able to get rid of FB's set, if I used the FB messenger more often.

Here is a gallery of the BYTM Emoticons. Not all are the actual ones, most are though.

I've looked at the disgaea sprite sheets, and it doesn't look easy to figure out how to make all the different animations. I can give another look at the exploding prinnies, but I currently have no idea how to go about making it.

Those are some interesting emoticons. While I like animations, they give me a good opportunity to show what I find annoying.

This one for example,


is just distracting as it takes up so much VERTICAL space.
But this one -
I can keep it in my reply and since its mostly on the horizontal axis, it doesn't distract as much.

What do you think?
