WipEout cursors

[Bob Todd]

I recently made a Feisar cursor, nicked from material off the WipEout disc using PSmplay. It looks dead good and goes with all the other WipEy stuff that I've got on my desktop.

I'd like to make a few more, and put them all in a bundle for download on WZ, but I'm stuck for ideas. What sort of WipEout-related cursors, either static or animated (but not too complex animations!) would you like to have? If there's a really good idea, or a large demand for one idea, I'll have a crack at it.

EDIT: This should give you an idea of what it looks like:

Eew, that's one fuzzy jpeg.

It says '.ani', but it's actually a static cursor. It's also 16-colour, but the software can make 256-colour ones too.

I like it - really cool :)

I'd wouldn't mind seeing an AG systems one, or maybe different weapon symbols for the hold and drag cursors.

Maybe an explosion of some sort for the hour glass, or animated thrusters.

Let me know how you get on :D

[Asimulant]

Lovely...

Real pretty!

i like the Feisar one. i would like to also see wo3's Pirhana and Icarus and AG-S, 2097's Piranha and AG-S, and Fusion's Xios and Piranha. yes i always want too much!

[Wamdue]

very nice! id love to see the loading-thingy exchanged with an animated Curly

[JABBERJAW]

That's pretty cool. You ever think of making prints for shirts? I bet you would have some interesting ideas.

[Hyper Shadow]

I would definatly vote for an AG-5y5tems cursor

[Bob Todd]

Right, looks like people want an AG-SYS one... I'll have a go at it during the next few days or so. :D

[Angryman]

[Bob Todd]

That's so cool! I'm going to use it as Working In Background.

I've been trying to make one of the evil smiley (the weapon stealer thingie from WipEout) winking its eye open and shut... but it just looks like its got a demented tic.

*looks for a good AG-SYS pic to use as a base*

[Confusion]

I might just try my hand at making my own cursor..

[jmoid]

the cursor is great. an animated curly would be cool.

[vincoof]

Hey, that reminds me a cursor I've made ages ago for WO3-style Pirhana.

Hmmm I'll try to set it online.

Darn, javascript error. I hate those ppl who called themselves experts and don't even know what building an html page means.

Sorry, anyway I can email the icon to anyone who wants.
It's not animated, it's not 32-bit coloured, and it's not really an icon (it's a gif file), but at least it's free ;)


Anna: best of luck for the Ag-s icon :)

[Wiseman]

Hey those all look pretty cool!

I think I might use them on my laptop, that way everywhere I go, everyone will know what my favorite racing game is! :evil


And yes, I want an AG Sys. one too! :lol

[Angryman]

thats the best i could do... looks pretty chiit!!

i also fixed up the DR Angryman giffs...
the eyes blink faster and the head is rounder...

vincoof, i'd like to have that one. the wip3out Pirhana was my first favourite ship, and stiLL one of my faves. [i like driving it in faster classes where i can't handle the Icarus; the agility of the Pirhana is great.] would you send it to me please?

[vincoof]

Check
your
mail
box
please
:)

[AmishRobot]

Nice one! Getting it to look three-dimensional in so few pixels is quite impressive. Is there anything special to do in making one, or is it just a bitmap? I'd like to take a shot at a Daniel Chang logo.

vincoof:
after i got home late last night, i checked email and there it was. thank. you. i downloaded the attachment, it looks like a pirhana, alright. the colours are good, bright enough to be visible on the webpages. i don't yet know what distinguishes Windows cursor files from others, but i will find out so i can use the custom cursor.
thanks.

Lance:
the only thing that a cursor has is the cursor point.
Cursors are most likely to point to the upper-left corner of its picture (like the famous arrow). For instance Anna's cursor points at the top-left.
But in fact you can let the cursor point anywhere. For instance the Hour glass cursor or the I-beam cursor (the cursor used to type something in a text field) points to the center of the picture.
For the picture I sent you, the cursor should point to the left of the picture.
Wow, I got all the explanations messed up ! :)

So what you have to do is :
1- download and install a cursor software (Anna uses cursordance, but I don't know which is the best though) and execute the app
2- create a new cursor and paste the picture I sent you
3- set the cursor point (eg left)
4- save the cursor file and exit the app
5- copy the file in the Windows cursor directory
6- change the Windows preferences in order to use you brand new cursor
That's it !
Maybe you'll have to restart Windows, but I'm not sure about that...

[Lance]

!
aha, thanks for the info. i'm sure that cursordance do all that i need and more.

angelfire doesn't allow direct download anna. we have to go to your site first and access the dls through an index page there.

;) you spelled temperance right this time. and now the nick refers to you personally instead of a political outlook. :)

[Pyro Annarchist]

:D :D :D

Okay, try here:
http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/hyenawindustries/download/index.html

Don't know why there's a line break in the middle of it; I didn't put it there.

[Wiseman]

Actually, you kinda did put the line break there, but by accident.

On this line,


<a href="http&#58;//www.angelfire.com/hi5/hyenawindustries/download/gravstinger.cur"Gravity Stinger</a>


You forgot the > after ' gravstinger.cur" '.

So it's not reading the link, just the br tag at the end.

[Pyro Annarchist]

Ah, thanks. Is fixed now. :)

[exarkann]
