Well, I took Xyloxadoria's old chat emotes and added some that have been mentioned in here and I add some staff related ones as well as the trixie and MOTM symbols, although The trixies will have to be updated once the new medal comes out to include this years trixies.

 

I wasn't too sure if these:  had to be in the main PNG, but I included them anyway. I can always take them out if they are going to cause trouble. Unless the additional images have to go in that picture. In which case that will take me like 5 minutes to do.

What does everyone think? And are there any more that people want included?

why would we need all the awards icons? Just wondering.

And the last ones, the current //# ones are good. IMHO I Don't Think you should get rid of them

And I have another question. Is it possible to make more codes for the faces smileys, so a B( would work?

[Larks2242 251]

I see that you added the MSN smileys I don't think the trixie awards would be used alot in chat more likly to be abused. There are plenty of websites that have smileys too like this one Here that could be implemented into chat.

[Hamish 1,369]

Larks, They may be the MSN smileys, but they were used in the older versions of chat too. Some people, me included, would like to see them back.

Yeah, I see what you are saying about the medals. I shall take them out then.

And I'll add Leo's new smileys.

Now, is it getting too big? because we could lose some of the older smilies, but Im not sure how many of the older members would want that.

Could we get this in?

Though I don't see the need for a "reverse" : \ smiley... Unless theres no way to assign both : \ and : / to the same one. Even then, it might not really be used since generally over the internet, : \ is used. (I put spaces in them to prevent ST from auto-smileying them)

You don't need to do that, you know...

[Vahr 341]

Erm, I forgot about that. Thanks duke

[un1 41]

Here's my contribution, I didn't really like the old wink one so I made a new one.

Here is the real one with the black background, the one above is just for show.

[Philadelphia 25]

Great to see more smileys.

[Boggy1 45]

Maybe its just me; but who'd like to see less emoticons not more?

A transparent background would have been easier.

lol, by the looks of it, its just you that wants less. Although the amounts that I have created via responses in this thread is getting a tad too large. 

I will get onto adding those newer smilies in soon. Leo, two of your images aren't working.

Yes they are

[Hamish 1,369]

no they are not. I get a 403 forbidden error. Its the two on the very left.

[Duke87 1,070]

Okay, ham, you're going to need to align those things better. The donkey's ears are encroaching on the CD's space.

I'd fix it myself, but with all that semitransparency there's no way I'm going to touch it without screwing it up.

As for your Sonic thing, BL, it's too big. 20×20 pixels is all you get.

[Hamish 1,369]

or the CD is encroaching on the donkeys ear space...

Anyway... Duke, I never did that. That was Xyloxadoria's image on the previous page, I just stuck it in there. I can fix it up, and I should probably go through and make sure that everything else is in line with, well, everything else. The donkey would just need to be resized, fixed up a tad, and moved down I assume.

And for BL's sonic thing, just a quick resize will do it. And then just touch up the edges if they become blurry or weird.

But, dont have too much time today. I've just been playing around with a christmas styled avatar, which was a bit of a fail, as you can see. But I need to get some real work done now. I may update the image later on tonight.

[Duke87 1,070]

I wouldn't resize anything. One need only look at nursey-boy's tiger in there to see why that's a bad idea.

The donkey doesn't need to be resized anyway. It's only 20 pixels tall (the limit).

[Hamish 1,369]

Yeah, abcvs' tiger isn't looking the best. I will fix it up, but, a tiger is better than no tiger, so it works well as a draft for the time being.

Oh good, I didn't look at the size, I just thought that it may be too tall.

Does duke have anything that he wants added?

[Larks2242 251]

I have some ideas if you are intrested (I made sure they are all 20x20)

 Sunny

 Looking up at the words posted above

   ( People talk alot about nuking on chat)

 have a idea

 Angry

 could be used as freezing

 Tell somone to stop

 Pumpkin

 Scratching head

 Sonic for BL in 20x20 size

 EA games

 Rocket

If you don't want to use any of these its fine but i thought i should help out too.

RAWR!

[SimCity4IE 202]

I think that the amount that Hamish has included in his last post with the emoticons is perfect! I'd love more emoticons!

[Vahr 341]

Oh 20x20? lol I looked at LE0's and saw they were 30x30 (though that may be because of white space)

Fixed.

Larks: All of those look pretty good, but I have one objection: The sonic one  We tend to not include regions on anything less than 40x40 Things start to look wierd. Especially the muzzle.

[Hamish 1,369]

Thanks BL, that saves me a lot of trouble.

Some of larks looks good, but most of them we already have as a smiley. Although I think that the nuke and the pumpkin could be included, they are original and DTP may like the pumpkin.

I have updated the image, however Im going out for the day, and don't have enough time to upload it, so I will put it up later on today.

[Dirktator 2,310]

Looking good guys... I'll see if I can integrate what we have so far.. I may make some minor edits

[LE0 5]

Update

I have revised the XD smiley to make the X thinner:

Also I decided don't include the XP smiley

Also what do you think of -_-?:

Also <_<, >_>, and >_<:

I had a hard time making O_o and O_O ones

Aww...but I like some of those just as typing, I wouldn't want to see a smily for things like O_0 and >_> and

Yea, i agree some of those things look good being typed. I'm not to sure that putting the symbols in the smiley's eye while not changing their emotion is the best way to do it, but then again i'm no pro.

[LE0 5]

Dirk, when are you going to add the smileys?
