Well, it's a document from Wordperfect. I knew you couldn't really open it. I just liked that Luigi thing you wrote in the interview so much I had to do something with it.
Hey, since you're here, I thought I'd tell you the interview is going on. Be Luigi, the Italian...Mama Mia^_^

Hey, I was wondering how you make sprites. I like making Mario stuff on my computer and showing it to people. Aren't they like GIF'sor something because I can download a GIF program...
Oh, and how do you get pictures to show in these Message Boards? I want to show some stuff I did on Paint...

Personally I hate Gifs when spriteing because it totally screws up the colors...I personally prefer using .BMP format..its easier and Im an expert at it...where would I get this Wordperfect program...?

Itâ€˜s-a me, Marionut#1!

Well, wordperfect is from corel, so you can try that. Or you can go to zdnet.com like I mentioned earlier and find something there. If you want a program where you can type up documents, then get it. Otherwise, then downloading something over 100MB is useless. You should probably find it at a store or something.
How can you put sprites together with .bmp format?

Personally I just use regular paint...ya I might not be able to add special effects..and editing sprites from SMRPG is a butt, but its way easier for me in Paint's .BMP format

Itâ€˜s-a me, Marionut#1!

I know that, but how do you put the pictures together to make your own version of a GIF? Which program?

Marionut#1 · « **Reply #52 on:** June 08, 2003, 09:14:58 PM »

I cant answer that question because I know nothing about GIFs except that they really screw up a picture...

Itâ€˜s-a me, Marionut#1!

Well, I'll figure it out. Got any artwork you want to put up here, OR can you tell me how to put up MY artwork?

Quite simply, if you want to animate Gifs, the program I use is Ulead Gif Animator. I don't recall the version, as it's on the other computer, but I know you can get the trial version off of Downloads.com, or check various warez sites to get the whole version. Maybe Kazaa has it, I haven't checked. However, it's pretty self-explanatory once you get the program.

As for showing your own artwork, first you must find a web space provider, be it geocities, or homestead, or what not; there are plenty out there. After which, you then upload your image and then place the URL in an HTML code; <img src="URL"> and check that "Use HTML in your message" box below. Not too difficult.

Or if you prefer, you can send something to me and I can upload it for you.

Get UnFREEz at http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/

UnFREEz is a high-speed Windows application that will take any number of images, saved as separate GIF files, and create a single animated GIF from those images. What makes this program unique from its competitors? First and foremost, UnFREEz is freeware, which means you may use it forever without paying a cent or feeling the slightest bit guilty. Secondly, UnFREEz is incredibly tiny, meaning you don't have to spend forever downloading an extremely bloated piece of software. Finally, it is so easy to use. Just drag and drop some GIF files from Explorer, set the frame delay time, and hit Make Animated GIF. UnFREEz will take care of the rest, including automatic interlacing and transparency detection. So download UnFREEz now and try it out for yourself! If you like it, keep it; it's free! This program is written in non-MFC Win32 C++, and should not need any additional files to run.

Actually, I cut and pasted the above info from the site. But, it is a cool little program.

I thought there was no advertising....
But, whatever. It's good. I'll check it out!
Hey, why can I suddenly use HTML(even though I don't know how to use it) in all the Message Board sections? I can use HTML in Storyboards!
Oh, and does anyone know of a good program that compresses images? My files are like 500+ KB per image! I'm putting them up on a site(that I'm going to make over vacation) and I need major help! I want to put in pictures/downloadables, but the stupid Geocities web builder won't let you put in most files! Plus, I need image, sound compressors! Does anyone know of any compressors?

Luigison · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2003, 08:54:49 PM »

I posted the unFreez because you ask for a program to make gifs. I was spaming the board with adverts. Anyway, I will look into some small simple and free compressors like you want and get back to you.
