Well I was looking at the emoticons on the forum, and thought that the whole roger ones, mixed with the default yellow ones wasn't that great. I thought I might convert them all to the roger type. I also modified the current roger ones to make them slightly larger.
I havn't finished converting them all, and feel free to modify my attempts to make them better. Oh and I wasn't sure if this should be in the Critics Lounge or not, so I just put it here. Maybe if we can all agree on them they could be implemented into the forums. Well they don't have to be, but I think they look cool :P

I'm not sure about the eye rolling one yet. Also I think CJ said that he didn't really want many more smilies, but I figure the ^_^ and @_@ are used a bit.
Call me conservative, but as good as yours are, I still prefer the original ones... I guess I grew attached to them. On second thoughts, call me emotional.
Call me anytime.
Cue comedy drum roll.

The Roger "Huh" cracks me up...
We did this a few months back ...
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=15265.0
I don't think anything came of it, other than the Larry Vales one being added.
I wouldn't mind a competition where people can enter their own versions of the smilies ... might be fun.Ã, I think it was decided that too many people liked them 'as-is' (I don't remember and I didn't re-read that thread)
I know I entered a few of my own design ...
Oh yeah I remember that thread now. The difference with these is that they are roger style, so they might appeal more to those on these forums. I was originally just going to convert the yellow ones into roger, but then found that he looked a little better a bit larger. Maybe its just me.

Heh, is that in a good way?
Yeah, man. It's funny.
Excellent blend between old and new style!
Just a few things:
- Raise big eyes on "Shocked" one pixel
- Widen sunglasses on "Cool"
- "Undecided" should be like the old icon IMO
- Can hardly see tears in "Cry", use lighter color
I love them and would like to see them implemented.
I had the idea a while ago, so I decided to give it a shot: (sorry! :=)

One Thinking Gal ._. NEW!!!
(http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/temp/smileys/otg.gif)
I'll post the animated ones later this afternoon, so they should pop up, but I don't have time right now to put them together and I gotta go soon...
Here's my logic behind the smileys
1) Keep the "essence" of the original smileys and convert the yellow ones to roger
2) Improve the look of Roger to a more Roger-lookalike face (like proportions, etc)
3) Keep the original roger colors from the AGS palette
Other fun things:
- I always wanted to make the OTG smiley, but I didn't figure it would work out... but I think it did this time.
- Roger's glasses on the cool smiley are inspired by Jake McUrk's (Pleurghburg)
- Roger's look on the shocked smiley is the closest to roger's original look in AGS. I purposely placed the mouth slightly to the right because of that. Roger opens his mouth when he's shocked, and this was inpsired from Aushor's shocked smiley... even though in the original yellow the smiley doesn't move his mouth.
How about we just keep the curent emoticons?
Or just dump them altogether?
I mean, jeez, they're only smilies.
No need to change/debate change, in my opinion.
How about something like these:
O.o (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/o_o.png)
^_^ (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/happy.png)
@.@ (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/nerd.png)
._. (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/puggle.png)
Gosh, I like the old ones better. No offense but I don't really like the alternate ones, they look like the old ones enlarged.
Haha, I love Auhsors. Espicially this one. (http://users.tpg.com.au/lukinso/Forums%20Upload/emoticons/cheesy.gif)
They are hilarious, but they make Roger look like a jackass in my opnion.
I think something like (http://www.strazer.net/ags/edit_undecided1.gif) captures the expression of the old "Undecided" one better.
Nice updates. :)
These are the best one:
:'( :-* :-\ :-X :-[ ::) ??? 8) :o
The worst:
:( >:( ;D :D ;) :) :P :=
Good work - I really like the new designs; being slightly bigger means it's easier to see the expression, and I too just love auhsor's "huh" smiley :)
If nobody has any objections, I'll certainly use them as the new smiley set.
Oh, and SQ4.5, for your blasphemy you shall be expelled!
So does anyone have any preferences about whether to use auhsor's or netmonkey's versions?
I say we use the ' :D ' version of smilies, and change the ' ::) ' style to match.
I prefer keeping the current set, but if I have to choose, I'll go with Auhsor's.
I like netmonkey's set.
I have to say I prefer netmonkey's, but with upped hairline.
Yes, and with Petteri's additions, especially O.o (though I'd prefer O_o or o_O, but eh...) :P

Roger's got the lowered hairline, though...! :o (http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/temp/smileys/roger.gif) (http://users.tpg.com.au/lukinso/Forums%20Upload/emoticons/shocked2.gif) (http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/temp/smileys/shocked.gif)
That may be, but it makes it harder to make out the expression IMO.
Just a pixel would be enough:

^_^ (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/new_anime.png)
:P
I propose this list of smileys, everything else would be forbidden to use:
never knew the smilies were roger? fool.
sanyway, i like the newest set by aushor. they look pretty neato to me
netmonkey did some nice ones.
I reckon auhsors got a nice set of smilies there... :P
And yes there was some post deletion and some thread unlocking in here.
Edit:
And now added...

Hmm, I had my post deleted........ But anyway, I enjoy auhsor's emoticons better.
Petteri, I think the o_O smilie's eyes are too dfferent. Perhaps make them both white-eyed but one slightly bigger? A more subtle o_O :P
And SQ4.5, just look in the Games page. You know, there really should be a "Classics" subcategory with the games mentioned before on it.
AHH!! Don't show "o_O"! It scares me and makes me remember the time I had a mosquito bite on 1 eyelid and then I have 1 eye slightly bigger. I agree with QuantumRich, it should have 1 eye slightly bigger (so I can't notice the difference of the two eyes).....Sorry if I uh, anger or make someone laugh (I feel embarrased about the above story :-[ ).
Heh. Yeah, because having a dot and an eyeball is more like ._O, not o_O. This must be perfect, Petteri! PERFECT!! I will accept NO LESS!! ;)
Actually the o_O and O_o ones shouldn't be made roger, they're wambii.
If you don't know what is a wambus, you don't belong here!

/me slaps terran with a big := emoticon.
Well... what the f_ck IS it?! :=
How cool, let's add a 'f_ck' smiley!
Ahem, I'd rather have wambii than Roger doing o_O and O_o. Though I still made this... (http://koti.mbnet.fi/petteri-/newnew_o_o.png)
Oh, see, this entire time, I thought o_O was just a generic expression of bemusement. I didn't know it was a wambus. (Whatever the f_ck it is.) :P
Yeah, a f_ck smilie! It would basically be Roger with his teeth gritted, eyes wide open, basically frustrated and/or pissed off. Like: (http://www.terran-x.com/images/f_ck.gif).
EDIT:
I was thinking something along the lines of (http://www.terran-x.com/images/wombus.gif). No?
let's just use these:
(http://www.juncmodule.com/pub/kittyircsmall.jpg) (http://www.juncmodule.com/pub/kittyirc.jpg)

I would say at the very least the yellow ones REALLY need to be replaced.

But don't you think (http://www.strazer.net/ags/edit_o_o.png) captures the expression better?
I hope these will be implemented soon.
Yes! That's it! That's what I'm talking about, having both eyes white, just one bgger than the other. But which is better? Yours, (http://www.strazer.net/ags/o_o.png), or mine, (http://www.terran-x.com/images/wombus.gif)?

I've changed a few things since the last outing, most notably, of course, the shading. I also removed a few of the gimmicky ones. What do you guys think of them now? I think they're nice and clean whilst retaining detailed expressions.
But hey, I'm egocentric. What's your opinion?
I like the roger ones..
Yeah, Flippy. Quit rocking the boat.
I suggest blank.gif replace all the smilies. Anyone opposed?
I feel opposed via indoctrination!
I shall file a paper directly!
Heh, I'd totally forgotten about this, I do apologise!
Anyway, I think we decided to go with the Roger ones, but whatever we do I don't think everyone's going to be happy :P
