Good idea. I'll have to get started on one.

Oh, and that 'Monkey Inside'...bad, man. That's just bad.

Good bad, or just plain old BAD?

This reminds me, we need our original TWHL banner back. How long has this one been up?

The same bad as a stupid bad joke.

I just realized, how do I make and animated .gif? I know u need to make multiply images/frame/layers, whatever, but how to I save it so it animates?

Special photo programs. I use Adobe Photoshop.

Ok, I've got The GIMP, so I'm good then.

aight. wait, GIMP lets you animate frames together? -.0
Posted 18 years ago2006-09-14 22:20:48 UTC Post #196548
I don't know. It's a free 'photoshop'-like program, so I'd think it would. I don't know though.

It does. Set each frame up as a layor, and save as an animated gif.

Wow, it's incredibly hard to find that download button. It's got the same font, size, and color as all those ads that it's shoved between.

Uh, anyway, that's pretty good methinks. The only thing is that it never actually said TWHL, just "The Whole Half-Life", which it's rarely referred to as.

wtf is swf...oh wait I know, shockwave flash right? YUCK! No flash stuff on twhl

It was never intended to be properly used on TWHL anyway.

I thought i linked directly to the file, oh well, atleast you found it. For those who haven't, look for 'Download for free with FileFactory Basic'.

what kind of hammer is that, it isn't useful for anything all bent like that.
Posted 18 years ago2006-09-15 23:22:20 UTC Post #196607
.swf files are actually the better way to go, if you have Flash and know how to use it. You can do more powerful animations and FX, while having a far smaller file size than animated .gifs.

oh, and 2 things regarding ZL's 'entry'.

1) I get nothing when I click on it. Just this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/adclick.asp, line 29
2) I don't know if you actually bothered to put in any effort, but from what I've seen in my short 9 'n a half months here, we've come to expect a little more from you. I mean, you should have colored the hat too...then it would have been up to par ;).

If you look at ZL's picture closely it looks like the guy has impaled himself with the hammer.

There were two spelling errors that would mean I'd have to redo the whole thing :furious:. I'm not sure if I'll bother with it or not.

I don't know about the rest of u, but I'm beginning to think that Rimrook shouldn't be allowed to participate in these compo's, not only to give other members a chance, but to STOP MAKING THEM LOOK BAD.
