k finaly finished it, i had a prob, i made them 32 bit, but after i understood taht they need to be 8 bit to becom .spr, so i converted all of them into grayscale and saved them with 8 bit, 1 by 1....., after converted them to .spr, i finished, and the size is really small, it will take less than 1 sec each, (2 kb each) and all of them will take a max of 30 sec, (129 kb). so if any1 think that he can make the plugin, cuz i dunno how to make them, pm me, or ask on AIM or MSN, at bottom of this message

I don't even understand what you're trying to do. Making a sprite for every single letter?

Lord_Destros · 01-08-2006 , 18:50

my guess, is he is doing it this way

1. make a sprite for every character, a-z, 0-9, SHIFT 1-9, []/?}{|\+-

2. If the first letter of someones name is a, it displays sprite a, if 2nd letter is 4 it displays sprite 4, etc.

its long and takes alot of short dl's but it gets the job done

The only thing is i'm not sure if peeps are willing to day when they notice there have been 20 something very short dl's and may leave before the rest start

Sounds messy.

Lord_Destros · 01-08-2006 , 18:56

yep, but it sounds like its the only way (that we know of)

**Hawk552** · 01-08-2006 , 18:59

Pssh... good luck. I can think of a way to do it but anyone looking from the side wouldn't be able to read it.

i dunno wht your going to do, i know that i made 68 sprites, 26 letter , 10 number and 68-26-10= ?? caracter.. and it will take less that 1 sec to dl each, and if the server has fast DL it will take less time.. so lost_destros, if u can do it, it would be nice
