The official "Help Noodles get an avatar" thread

[noodles]

Hey.
Yes, you.
I'm talking to you.
Not the kid behind you.
Pay attention.


I'm having a tough time finding an avatar that suits me that won't need resized, so I'm turning to you guys to help me out. Post away.

[noodles]

Also, if you have any Signature suggestions for me, post them here as well.

[Iconoclast]

I don't know what suits you any more than you do, because you're you. However, I'm great with optimizing images, so I can take a good crack at resizing images or whatever, or if there's an image too big in file size, I can change that as well.

If you're looking for a "homemade" image of creativity, maybe pizzaman can help you out. He's got Photoshop. But I'm better at editing and optimizing images, so if there's already an image you found that you can't use for some reason, I might be able to fix that.

[noodles]

Righto. Thanks for volunteering your assistance. It's appreciated.

[Iconoclast]

Oh, and you looked at this link in my signature, right?

http://www.coolrom.com/forums/announcement.php?a=19

I make N64 avatars, if you're looking for one of those. If it's from a game I already know, I can get you almost anything.

[noodles]

Much appreciated. I sent you a PM regarding this.

[Fierce Deity]

I have photoshop and fireworks, and I am sorta stuck at where I am in the Omni Cube I was making for Iconoclast, so if you need me to make you something or re-size something, let me know. Also, find that thread where I posted all those pictures of noodles and ramen and stuff. Most of those would be good.

[noodles]

Yeah, I've been mulling over the idea of begging one of you guys to make me a signature featuring ramen.

Relax, FD. Let the Omni Cube come last. I'd rather you study that VC tutorial...it'll blow your balls off, which is better than frustrating on a GIF animation. Since I've been getting used to the stuff lately, I may or may not make the GIF myself now that I've got some motivation, but we can work on that later.

I don't want pictures of soup as my avatar, that I know, but his choice.

First, let's see if I can get him that light blue Yoshi from Yoshi's Story. Not like I have dial-up or anything, but I hate the downloading of ROMs. I get from between 8 KB per second to 50 KB per second; it really depends for some reason. I got wireless.

[Fierce Deity]

I am almost done with your Omni Cube, it's just that, with so many frams and then it fade in and out, I don't think it would look very nice in a GIF.

I have it already. (Yoshi's Story) I would get it, but I suck at the screenshots. I like the deleting pixelations part. You should re-teach me that thing you use to make it go at like 3 fps.

[Iconoclast]

You should re-teach me that thing you use to make it go at like 3 fps.1964 is better at taking animated consecutive screenshots in a form of a 'movie' than Project64. In fact, if you press the '-' key on your NUMPAD section of your keyboard (right side), it will intentionally lower the speed limiter. Keep pressing it till it goes down to 10 FPS. It's probably go even lower if you're using Rice's Video Plugin, and in the Game Options tab, set Frame Buffer to Write Back Every Frame.

Gracias Senorita. What good will a movie do me though? I need pictures for to put in fireworks. Fireworks is an image editor. The only thing I could do would be import it in Flash, export it as a GIF, and then open in fireworks, but it'd look crappy.

What is it that you have now?

[Iconoclast]

My avatar? Um, I logged textures from Majora's Mask, and I came across two 64x64 textures that made up the clock image you see in the time 'tornado' when you play the Song of Time. I colorized the eight different sections of the merged image in rainbow order, making it so that each color is opposite from its complementary color. Hm, starting to make me a little sick of it, now, though, but I used to really like it, thinking the colors illustrated certain forces of nature, as stereotyped upon the color.

Answer that too.

Also, I thought it looked like it was from Majora's Mask, but I never asked.

In the Omni Cube, I logged screenshots of the Omni Cube in motion, and it wasn't exactly a movie, but an animation, and then I cropped out the Omni Cube. The most you can do is save it in a 32-bit format until it's ready to be optimized and saved as an 8-bit format like GIF. The 32-bit format I use is MNG. ANI or AVI also works, but shouldn't be used for a project format. If what I said didn't make sense, I probably got your question wrong.

[Fierce Deity]

I probably got your question wrong.

You did. I was saying, Fireworks can't import AVIs. So, what good would an AVI do me for making a GIF?

If you like any of these, I can resize them, or, me an Iconoclast could work on that Light Blue Yoshi GIF from Yoshi's Story.

If you like any of these, I can resize them, or, me an Iconoclast could work on that Light Blue Yoshi GIF from Yoshi's Story.You could easily remove the white background from that. I'm making a 3-D version of the cyan Yoshi from the actual game. I will complete it tomorrow, and noodles can see what he thinks then.

Oh, no. I meant using 1964 to hold F12 to log the screenshots. You can import the screenshots in an animated GIF-editing program, like Animation Shop or some other software can't remember. Just import all of the screenshots in a new animation in Fireworks. I don't mean use Fraps to record it. No, not like that. And the screenshots are better logged for better animation if you get the FPS as down as possible, which is why you want to use the above method to slow down emulation intentionally.

If you have too many frames, not only will it be harder, but also likely be too big to fit into this site. That's my guess. I can help with anything you need me to though. Let me see it when you are done, in case Noodles doesn't want it.

I could remove the white bg, but I don't want to if he doesn't want it. That yoshi is from Mario Sunshine though.

[pizzaman]

Hey noodles, if you want a showy signature( Like my home-made one! :D ), then PM me. I'm not on as much of the other guys here, so I most likely won't most of the stuff you post. If you want an avatar, then I can make you one of those too, but it won't be a GIF.

[noodles]

Thanks again guys, for all of your offered assistance. I honestly expected this thread to get overlooked or deleted.

[pizzaman]

Thanks again guys, for all of your offered assistance. I honestly expected this thread to get overlooked or deleted.
Well Noodles, if you want a signature then PM me. If not then O.K. I'll close this thread. In the future, everyone, PM me instead of opening a thread. It's easier and faster.

[Iconoclast]

As for closing this thread, I guess that doesn't really matter. I can PM him the GIF I made for him instead of posting here. See, if he had PM'd you this request, I would never have seen his request, and I wouldn't have made this avatar he wanted:

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/rswedlo/GIF%20Animations/CyanYoshi.gif

For this reason, he was right to start a thread rather than PM'ing an individual user. Just saying: Let's try to work together to help users with this kind of stuff. That's why admin made me a moderator of this forum along with you. After that, we can delete threads like this, if you want.

[pizzaman]

Dude, if you want to be mod of this forum then go right ahead. I'm tired of being mod anyways, and if you think you're better then me then you can have it.

I resign.

[Iconoclast]

I resign.WTH? No, man, I don't think I'm better than you. Not at graphics in entirity, just certain parts of graphics. You, on the other hand, are better than me at creating images with creative design, because you have Photoshop, and you know how to use it. If we're both better than each other at one area of making graphical files, that means we could both moderate the forum.

I think the reason you resign is just because I moderate this forum, now. Is that the reason you wanted to moderate this forum? Is it because you could moderate a forum controlled by you and you only, except for admin? You can't be 'tired' of being a moderator; that's not possible. I just think you wanted this whole forum for yourself. Well, what do you think? Like I said, we could work together on this stuff.

[pizzaman]

WTH? No, man, I don't think I'm better than you. That's bulldefecation. There were plenty of times that you even said that you were better.


Not at graphics in entirity, just certain parts of graphics. You, on the other hand, are better than me at creating images with creative design, because you have Photoshop, and you know how to use it. Yes, I do agree that you're better at then me at a lot of things. I know it, but I don't like how you act about it. It seems almost like you're trying to get people to get you to make avatars for them in secrecy. Like making your own gallery of avatars that you made yourself. There was no need for that. And your sig too. You put in that people should PM you for stuff, and so on. If you just go and ask me. Why don't you make Sigs and I make Avatars? Then I would of said sure. But I don't like it how you've been acting lately. You good a crapload more show-offy in the last couple of months.

If we're both better than each other at one area of making graphical files, that means we could both moderate the forum. I'm never on, so there's no use. Go ahead, you can do it yourself.

It's sort of had being a lier when I already PMed admin!

I just think you wanted this whole forum for yourself. Well, what do you think? Like I said, we could work together on this stuff. You asume too much. You don't have me figured out, and you probably never will. I'm very specific when it comes to how to act. I don't think anybody can tell you the EXACT reaction I'll have, unless maybe my dad.

[Iconoclast]

WTH? No, man, I don't think I'm better than you. That's bulldefecation. There were plenty of times that you even said that you were better. Just try quoting me saying that once, or telling me a time I said it in a particular thread. I never said that.

But I don't like it how you've been acting lately. You good a crapload more show-offy in the last couple of months. Calm down, man. I don't take ANY pride about both of us being better than each other at something. I offered for us to work as partners; how does that sound like I'm secretly helping people behind your back? I think you're talking about yourself, there, which is why you asked him to PM you instead of asking me and this entire website's users to help. As for that signature thing, that was not intended to "put you out of business." I said, if you want an avatar from an N64 GAME, PM me. You want me to add a line saying, if it's anything else, PM you, or start a thread about it? I am not doing business behind your back, man. I put that link in my signature because it's impossible to view the announcement without activating it (which is a problem) or posting a link to it, best in my signature. You're taking this the wrong way. I do NOT show off my stuff, except when I brag to death at how hard I work and what I had to suffer for to make something. Why are you accusing me of all of this stuff all of a sudden? I offered to help you! Hey if you want, we can make that arrangement. I make the avatars, you make the signatures. Both are equally important, OK?

If we're both better than each other at one area of making graphical files, that means we could both moderate the forum. I'm never on, so there's no use. Go ahead, you can do it yourself. You've been online today and yesterday; don't say that.

It's sort of had being a lier when I already PMed admin! I can't understand your second sentence, and you were not lying, you just worded it wrong. You didn't mean to say you were actually tired of being a moderator; you meant to say that you were tired of the impression that I became a moderator of this forum just to spoil you.

I just think you wanted this whole forum for yourself. Well, what do you think? Like I said, we could work together on this stuff. You asume too much. You don't have me figured out, and you probably never will. I'm very specific when it comes to how to act. I don't think anybody can tell you the EXACT reaction I'll have, unless maybe my dad. Who says I had you figured out, now? You assume too much. I was questioning you to see if that was true, not to say I knew all about you or some arrogant crap. Take it easy; why are you being paranoid?

[pizzaman]

Crap! I wrote back to you on this but I guess that it didn't post. Oh well I'm not rewriting all that.

I did, however, tell admin to unmodify me, lol. You can have it if you want, so take it! It's a present, okay?

[Iconoclast]

Obviously, you didn't understand what I just said. I did not say I want you 'unmodified'. Again, IDK where you get all this crap from. You know that I actually didn't want that, pizzaman, you're just trying to make me sorry I messed with you. The only REAL reason why you PM'ed him to not be a moderator is because I moderate this forum, now, and you wanted full control. You can't be 'tired' of being a moderator. It doesn't physically or mentally stress you out in any way, and even if it somehow did, you wouldn't PM admin to remove you from it, you would just stop moderating for a while until you're OK again, so I think there's something you're hiding or not admitting, here.

But it doesn't matter. That's fine. Either way, if you don't want to be a moderator, it's not really my concern. Concern, as in, I don't care about it, since this can't be worked out. Whatever makes you happy, I guess.
