Code smilies

[alexrudd]

Would it be possible to add a few new smilies for coding?

Right now, certain text strings such as :ninja : are changed into :ninja:

How about changing -> into →, and so on?

Yes, I agree, some more symbols would be really nice such as a couple of greek letters, math symbols, the > part of >frac... I realy could go on. Just look at xpHeoniX's sig for some symbols.

It would be a great addition to the ease of typing codes for the forums, but I think using Wergoose's posts would help too

Since this topic didn't really spark much interest, I decided to make some smilies that the communty can use. Some of them are just semi-ripped from the phpbb forums. That doesn't mean it was easy though... Some of them are my own. You can probably tell which ones are . Anyways, here they are. I have them attached at the bottom for anyone who wants the file.

TOP ROW: twisted(I have a feeling Delnare will like this for some reason), friendly wink(Our current one is not very friendly), and Cool guy(Our current sungalsses smily is not very friendly either)

BOTTOM ROW: not-as-cool guy, Bigger grin(less cheesu as the current one), I-won't-say-a-word(Used for if someone told you a secret. Shhh... Don't tell!)

Oh and as a little surprise to my fellow friends: May I present to you.... |_337 smily


Hope you guys like them.

Cool smilies. Too bad I don't have the artistic capability or imagination to think of more.

SilverCalcKnight (?) might like that "1337" one.

Woah, new smilies to use in my posts! Awesome

Why would I like the twisted one? You think I would have some evil plans for it, right? (Oh drat! )

The "Won't say a thing" sprite reminds me of a skull, I don't know why.

I looked at the middle bottom smiley and though "Holy cr*p, that's one huge smile!"

Why is the friendly winking smiley winking his left eye when the current wink winks his right eye?

[alexrudd]

They'll look much better with transparent backgrounds.

Friendly wink is based off the phpbb yellow smilies and if you go to otbp, you will see the smily I ripped. About the huge grin. That is really big, I didnt realize it was that big and square. Some change may be in need.

Edit: Clooped out some more and changed bigger grin. I think it looks like a genuinly nice smile.


BOTTOM ROW: Dying Eyes(had to ), Suspicious, wet one.(I think the last one will come in handy a lot. )

And bigger grin as you can see, has a narrower smile. Oh and I almost forgot: Skeleton boy now has a better smile to look more like he is keeping a secret.

I thought this was about adding "code" smiles which I think is a good idea and an admin should look in to getting some.

I'm artistic, but I have no means of making them on the computer (No to 2d, 3d 4 Life )

I think we need a tired smiley, and a frustrated one. (The devil Is nice, but I think that shows more along the lines of an evil plot) so we would need a frustrated one as well. Maybe (If possible) we could make the frustrated one animated with steam coming out of his ears, and his face gets redder.

that's my 2 cents

edit- (heres 2 more of my cents)
Someone mentioned having all of the symbols displayed. I think the best place for them to go is directly below the edit box. There's about 3/4" (On my screen) of room which is plenty to stick them in there, and it seems the most ideal in terms of user friendly-ness.

One more smiley!!! We need an exclamation mark smiley to show exclamation!!!!!!
(Gosh I wish I could have him now so I could show all of my exclamational thoughts!!!!!)
