The Unofficial FKL Cursor Set... (Now with download link!)

[Tact]

Okay, boys and girls (because I'm pretty sure there are no other hermaphrodites here...), it's time to unveil what I have as of right now.

Here are the static cursors:

For the animated cursors, the number under each frame is how long it will stay on that frame. That is in 60ths of seconds, so a 60 means that it will stay on that frame for a full second.

Image credits so far for the cursors:
Wacko: PSOW (For having the wacko.)
Disapprove: PSOW (For having the disapprove.)
Spam: PSOW (For having a can of Spam.)
Color-changing wacko: (Dhylec, because he made it and I based the cursor off of it.)
GOD without can: Me, because I used no images.
GOD with can: Nitro for contributing the can.
"Fresh Kills Landfill": Me, no borrowed images again.

There it is, the FKL Cursor Set that I have right now. Someone please confirm that it works after downloading it.

Also, I will take requests. Cursors are pretty easy to make. The only things that I will absolutely not make a cursor of are disckos and anything adult-oriented. Cursors do have their limits (32x32 on Windows), so keep that in mind when requesting that an image be made into a cursor.

Great job, Tact. I'd be willing to beta test it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
Quick question, what goes with what as of right now? e.g. Normal cursor, loading cursor.

[Tact]

Heh, I'm not making any decisions for you guys as to which cursor is supposed to go with what function. You can just give them whatever duty you please.

They still do...(no discko love. ;.;)

That's because I freaking hate the discko. >_>

If you want a discko one, you'll have to make your own.

[TalHex]

i've seen this one get used a bit

[Shadowpawn]

Well pm me a tutorial and I might do something.

I believe all of these are actual size except for the Dhylecwacko one. That one is at half of the actual size.

Sorry, Nitro, I have not done the can of GOD cursor yet.



Personally, I would make the wacko and face cursors their normal size. The enlarged versions seem tacky and, well, large. I'd stick with the normal sized faces. Also, maybe look at the site's buttons and other emotes for more cursor options.

[Nitro Vordex]

So, wait, how would this work anyway? Do we just save the pics and then set them as cursors or is it a whole set?

[Tact]

Shligger, that's impossible. If you're running Windows, it will automatically resize everything to 32x32. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

no your doing it wrong!

[Tact]

Shligg, you know what I said about impossibility?

Edit: Yep, it worked. The Dhylec wacko frames are now actual size and the wacko and disapprove static cursors are now as small as they normally are.

Blissful ignorance for Shliggs.

[Nitro Vordex]

So, ya done yet Tact? how would we DL these anyway?

[Tact]

I still haven't done the one with the can of GOD.

As for downloading...I'll put them up on Sendspace or something.

[TalHex]

it got stickied!

[Tact]

Thanks to whichever moderator decided to sticky this.

I have a semi-large update edited onto the first post, with a download link included. I edited it into that post, but I'll say it again here: Someone please confirm that the downloading works after you get it downloaded.

[Sgt_Shligger]

It works. Some changes I would recommend:

1: Slowing down the Dhywacko color speed (if possible).

2: Adding an hourglass to one of the wacko cursors for load screens.

Otherwise, they all seem to work perfectly.

Yes, that is possible. How long do you think the time should be before it changes?

[Sgt_Shligger]

If possibly, as slow as Dhy's current version. Slow enough so that the change isn't like a flash, more of a gradient.

[Tact]

Oh, dang, I thought you meant time between frames.

I can't make colors change that smoothly.

[Meyfei]

is there any way to make a mouse have many colors that change to the beat of the music being played on your comp? like techno http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

wheres the download link? ;_; im to dumb to find it

[Out_Kast]

Uhh, it's kind of in the first post...
Good job, Tact http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif It's working pretty fantastic.
All that I'm waiting for now is for my parents to find it by accident and start worrying... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

As far as I know, there's no way to make a sound-sensitive cursor.

[Dhylec]

;o

[Shadowpawn]

;(

[Tact]

Shadowpawn, you've been really sad lately. Perhaps you need some counseling? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Zabrio]

i need help it won't load XD

[Tact]

It won't load? What do you mean?

Are you saying the download doesn't work?

[Zabrio]

i downloads but the file won't work as a cursor

[Zabrio]

i bet i am forgetting something very simple XD

[Tact]

Hmm, Windows or Mac? I'm unsure of whether or not it would work on a Mac, seeing as all of the computers in my house are running Windows.

If you are running Windows XP: Start>Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Mouse Pointers>Pointers Tab, and then just click Browse. Remember to hit Apply when you are done selecting.

[Zabrio]

it shows the cursor set as a .rar file is it supposed to be like that?

[Tact]

Yes, it is. If you want me to make it a .zip, I can do that too.

The reason I made it a .rar is because I have WinRAR on my computer and, given various posts in FKL, a lot of the rest of FKL has it too.

[Zabrio]

yeah .rar files aren't working for me right now .zip file do though

[Tact]

Okay, I've added a .zip download now. It's in the first post, right under the first link.

[Zabrio]

btw good job

[Tact]

Hey, I gave him credit for making the Dhywacko. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

And I know Uncle_Bob made a color-changing disapprove before, but it died a while back before I could salvage it.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

You're using it for good or improving it for the sake of this project. Dhyguy surely does not mind.

Wasn't meant as a negative. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif <- hid the color change in there I did. Also seeing double is what should happen, so move your eyes faster!

You can hide color changes in normal wackos now? O_o

That's so cool! Great job Tact! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Tact]

Thanks for the compliments, guys. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Any other suggestions or ideas? I'll try to the best of my ability.

[Meyfei]

Tact, you awesome. is amazin skills you too switch be rar zip to be

Tact, you rock, it would take me forever to find out how to mess with those things, think you could teach me sometime?

Surely. In fact, I'll just PM you right now.

[TalHex]

it would be interesting to see a second cursor with the FKL sprites instead of the emoticons... for the hourglass you could do a loop of a sprite being flipped

[Tact]

No, the sprites won't work, actually. They're bigger than 32x32. That means they'll be horribly squashed by Windows.

[TalHex]

no not a whole sprite set just one sprite from the set

for example only use one out of the 12 sprites in the set for the cursor, that should meet the size requirement, no?

[Tact]

Right. I forgot about how small they actually are. I only used enlarged versions for my comics.

Edit: That means I can make cursors of sprites walking. Sweet.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Tact on 2008-03-03 19:02 ]</font>

[Nitro Vordex]

I just thought of something.

Spoiler-box. Definetly deserves it.

Forgot how to spell definetly ._.

[TalHex]

can't wait for that cursor http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Tact]

Which one? Be more specific. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Also, I'm loaded down with work. I'm not sure when I can get it done.

[Nitro Vordex]

The spoiler box, Tact.
[spoiler-box][/spoiler-box]

[TalHex]

the sprites of everyone... damn can't remember who did it... was it alex?

[Tact]

It was Alex, and I even have them saved on my computer.

[Nitro Vordex]

That would be kinda weird though, 'cause not everyone is around/ knew who was who for the sprites.
Hell, I still forget who's who on the ones I saved.

[Tact]

I still remember all save for a few. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
