Livening up K:M
Livening up K:M
So, I was thinking today about what could be done to liven up Keen: Modding, but I couldn't think of anything significant. But I did think of this:
!!! EMOTIKEENS !!!
That's right! I've created a semi-easy way for you to include your favorite PCKF emotikeens right here in Keen: Modding! It's called ... classicgaming.com allows image hotlinking!
So pop on over to an html file I uploaded and get ready to with all your friends here at Keen: Modding. Emote till you're ! Have a ing great time!
Edit: And don't tell anyone over at the PCKF - they'd be !

New stripped-down and optimized version uploaded, slightly smaller html file (1,218 bytes instead of 1,888). And, uh, yeah. Take a peek at the html source if you're interested - I stuck all of the emotikeen names into an array. There are two types of array entries. For about half of the emotikeens, the filename is emotikeen-blah.gif and the name is :blah, so these are represented as an entry of "blah". However, other emotikeens have filename emotikeen-blah.gif and name :blee, and these are represented as ":blee=blah". (To tell you the truth, I've been fiddling with this thing for waaaay too long. )
Edit: Even smaller version: 1,008 bytes - under 1k! Let's turn this into a competition - who can get it the smallest without losing functionality?
EMOTIKEENS ON K:M - YOU KNOW YOU WANT THEM

Emoticodes anyone? :nop? :jump? The possibilities are endless. Besides, I don't think the emotikeens are *that* immature, and they do add a bit of color to the place. Certainly I shall be using this on several other forums, since it seems to work on all php.A lot of the topics are about codes and stuff... I don't think putting tons of animated smilies would fit.
I like to think of myself as very mature.
(I can feel this thread getting out of control, and it's pretty much my fault.)
[Edit:] Actually, maybe that's not a bad thing. We can have one thread of people going out of control, and people can go there to get it out of their system, and then the rest of the forum will be calmer.
[Edit again:] And by "people" going out of control, I kind of mean "me", LOL.

Why do you think I asked Xky to be a deputy admin? It's cause we agree on the really really important things in life, like emoticons.CK Guy wrote:Boo, deputy administrator, boo! I'm going over your head ... as in waiting to see what Andrew says ...
Yeah no, I hate graphical emoticons generally and animated ones especially. Old-skool text only emoticons on K:M, please :-)

K:M was always meant to by a dry, dusty, boring place where no one had any fun, particularly in the "general" forum. Sorry, but if it looks like you're trying to enjoy yourself a bit, I'm going to have to ban you ;-)CK Guy wrote:We can have one thread of people going out of control, and people can go there to get it out of their system, and then the rest of the forum will be calmer.
But seriously, Magic: The Keening -- that's a topic that definitely belongs on the PCKF rather than here.

EVEN I am here from time to time... to rest from my moderator duties in other forum and see peaceful plain text.
I come for my bimonthly visit and find this crap.
Locked.
Ouch. I'm not developer here, can't moderate here.

As you can see, I love these forums because of their quietness.Shadow Master, in the Public Commander Keen Forum wrote:I can't believe KE (KeenEmpire) didn't notice it... (the existence of K:M)
It's quite silent, but that's because it is not a chat place as these forums, just a patch and modding tools/information library.
So don't interrupt the sacred silence of Keen: Modding. Please.

All right, sorry, guys, sorry. I was really bored.
I'll get on to real Keen modding again -- look at that de-Carmack code Andy posted, try to work on my Keen 4-6 editor (which I haven't done in a while).
But before all that can happen, I have an essay due tomorrow, which I'm about 1/10th done, so I need to get on that.
All craziness kept to the PCKF from now on.
