The Smiley Gallery

I started making these back when we still used the word filters to insert custom smileys, so the formatting is based off of what was used then. I've never changed it, and now, it would be ridiculous to do so.

First off, the smilies are all held in this area, or a subfolder thereof:
i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/DPTDTKF/Smileys/

All characters, except for Omni, are in a subfolder based on their identity. For Example, Aizen is in the 'Aizen' subfolder. Remember to include the '/'.

Secondly, every set has an initial (or two or three) at the beginning of the file name. This is usually based off of the character's name and is always lowercase. I consider it their 'code.'

Third is the expression-word. These are all-lowercase, except to indicate a new word (instead of using a space), or for expressions such as ''.

Finally, nearly all files are '.gif' files.

Also, I have been overhauling as many sets as I can lately. Changes in sets are to be expected in the next while. If you want to see the old version of their set, include the subfolder 'Old' (capital 'O') before the smiley file, and after the character subfolder. Again, remember the '/'.

Bear in mind that not all characters have even all of the expressions, due to facial features or other things. Also, remember that these aren't always used based on what their name is.

The very first time I brought a character in, (which was Snakeman), I was lazy and just ended up using his in-game sprite as opposed to making a set. Since he's from the NES-era this wasn't too much of a problem as the sprite was pretty small and pretty simple. I continued this trend as I started to add more Robot Master characters, but soon I started to want to add characters whose in-game sprites either wouldn't be suitable for use on the forum due to size or didn't exist at all, so I ended up making some sets after all.

So, here's a list of characters who don't have their own set:

• Snakeman
  
• Quickman
  
• Flashman
  
• Crashman
  
• Airman
  
• Metalman
  
• Sheepman
  
• Microwaveman
  
• Potpourriman
  
• Geminiman
  
• Knightman
  
• Woodman
  
• Heatman
  
• Magnetman
  
• Nitroman
  
• Bubbleman
  
• Needleman
  
• Fireman
  

These characters do have their own sets:

• Byron
  
• Chip
  
• Frio
  
• Terra
  
• Mercury
  
• Jupiter
  
• Bianca
  

Note that while Terra, Mercury and Jupiter do have in-game sprites, I ended up not using them because they were Gameboy sprites rather than NES ones and I didn't really like how they looked, so I ended up making them sets instead. Their sets also differ from the others as they are more like busts. This was initially done because of Terra's rather poofy hairstyle, and I sorta liked how it looked, so I continued to do this with the others. The only problem with it is that those with large shoulderplates, like Jupiter, have to be cut somewhat so their smilies aren't too wide.

At one point I decided to get the old robot master sprites I'd been using and revamp them, so I guess this is a little spot where I get to show that off. At the time of writing however, they aren't quite all complete yet.

Here they are, in the order they are on my roll:



While these guys don't have their own sets, some of them do have alternate sprites. These don't follow any specific naming pattern however and more often than not are just the original url but with a "2" or "3" or something added on the end.

• _armless - used when Quick lost his arm after falling off a giant laser firing centipede (don't ask).
  
• _hole - used when Flash's stopper had a hole blasted in it by previously mentioned giant centipede. (...Again. Don't ask.)
  
• _armless - used when Flash's arm was cut off.
  
• _stopper - was originally used whenever Flash froze time, but doesn't see much use nowadays.
  
• _armless - used when Metal's arm was torn off. (Seems to be a trend going on here.)
  
• 2 - only ever used once, in the Character Arena.
  
• 2 - has yet to be used.
  
• 2 - used to represent Gemini's clone whenever he makes it.
  
• 2-1 - used whenever Heat ignites himself. The weird name was caused by there already being something called Heatman2 in my Photobucket account when it was uploaded.
  
• 3 - used whenever Heat's lid is closed.
  
• 2 - one of Nitro's alternate form sprites.
  
• 3 - one of Nitro's alternate form sprites.
  
• 4 - one of Nitro's alternate form sprites.
  

My sets don't really have a set naming pattern. While the majority have the generic "happy, sad, angry" etc., I mostly just name sprites based on whatever I think the expression looks like.

• _neutral (Bianca's is called _stoic)
  
• _happy (Byron and Bianca's "_happy" sprites are different to Chip and Frio's, and are and , respectively.)
  
• _sad (Chip has yet to use this one)
  
• _angry
  
• _annoyed (some have this rather than "angry")
  
• _meep
  
• _obligatoryshades
  
• _smile
  
• _smug
  
• _surprise
  
• _shock
  
• _smirk
  

The following are expressions that aren't necessarily exclusive to the character, but that other characters don't have:

• _cocky
  
• _confused
  
• _noes
  
• _superhappy
  
• _verysad
  
• _patronising
  
• _unimpressed
  
• _worried
  
• _happy2
  
• _sheepish
  
• _wink
  
• _grumpy
  
• _miffed
  
• _miffed2
  
• _side
  
• _notsmile (I couldn't think of a name for this one :B)
  
• _shifty
  
• _c (Again, couldn't think of a name)
  

Aaaaand the following are expressions that are exclusive to the character.

• _loves (for when Byron is proclaiming that HE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES SOMETHING *explosions*)
  
• _bike (Byronlikeshisshovelplz)
  
• _stare (used when he was pretending to be Gant *shudder*)
  
• _creepysmileplz (creepy joke smiley)
  
• _slime1-1 (weird name again caused by uploading this when there was a file with the same name already uploaded)
  
• _slime2-1 (same)
  
• _slime3
  
• _slime5 (4 doesn't see use because it turned out weird looking and not how it was originally intended to look. Not sure if it's still on my Photobucket account to be honest.)
  

As some of you may have noticed, Terra and Mercury's sets look different nowadays to how they've looked in the previous posts. This is because one day I recoloured one of Terra and Mercury's sprites so they resembled their Gigamix appearances out of boredom, though at the time I had no intention of using them. Then on the Taco one day Scrac came up with an excuse for me to be able to use them, so I made a few more expressions for those particular sets, though because I wasn't expecting them to be used for very long, the naming pattern consists of g1, g2, g3 etc. I ended up deciding to keep these Gigamix looks because I prefer them to the originals and somehow I find the naming system easier to remember (and there's also less chance of me making a typo while editing urls), so all subsequently added Stardroids follow this naming system.

The sprites are as follows.

Terra:

• _g
  
• _g2
  
• _g3
  
• _g4
  
• _g5
  
• _g6
  
• _g7
  
• _g8
  
• _g9 (basically, run)
  
• _g10
  

Mercury:

• _g
  
• _g2
  
• _g3
  
• _g4
  
• _g5
  
• _g6
  
• _g7
  
• _g8 (note that this was the last sprite I made for this set and I didn't have any plans on adding any new ones at the time. Subsequently though I did end up making more and in a sort of random order, so the regular and liquid-y sprites aren't separate from each other.)
  
• _g9
  
• _g10
  
• _g11
  
• _g12
  
• _g13 (totally a creepysmileplz *brick'd*)
  
• _g14
  
• _CreeperMercury (this was just a joke smiley and won't be used for anything, unless Mercs randomly decides to take on the form of a Creeper for whatever reason. :B)
  

Jupiter:

• _g1 (since his set started off as his Gigamix appearance, he doesn't have a _g)
  
• _g2
  
• _g3
  
• _g4
  
• _g5
  
• _g6 (god help you if you ever see this one)
  
• _g7
  
• _g8
