It is a little hard to make out, but it is pretty good!
Excellent idea!
Excellent idea!
ya, i couldn't think of what to do with them other than makethe darker and redder,
maybe if they were on fire...
maybe if they were on fire...
Maybe just give him something different like a staff or a trident or make them shorter and giving off green smoke.
That could work.
That could work.
I think he should hide behind things.
Should I show you my still pic? I'm not good at anims.
i picture him just waving the sticks around in a bunch of smoke or thunder clouds, but i don't think i'm going to do anything else with him at the moment
I'll try and show it to you guys sometime... I'm just too busy right now.
Also, my pic doesn't have any sticks... he's a pure hand-in-cloak wizard.

He needs some sort of long range advantage, since attacking from a distance is harder to hit with and easier to dodge.
For all you sprite-makers, the suggestion description does actually say that it is holding nothing.
i did say it wasn't quite like the description...
Well, there's artistic credit...
he's also supposed to be dark green, and have a mask
Yeah well, there's artistic license, and there's not actually reading what was said in the first place.
Same thing.
Gnorthan made a possible shrouder sprite (following the description, word for word).
Gnorthan has several questions, he will start with only two.
Can Gnorthan post his picture on TMB without using photo bucket or another website?
if so, how?

Well you must upload it to photobucket etc., then use this:
Replacing this:http://www.themetalbox.com/images/icons/games.gif with the url.
Replacing this:http://www.themetalbox.com/images/icons/games.gif with the url.
No, you need an external host like photobucket as the system stands. As you can see, the code table tells you how to then add those pictures.
CRAP! That wasnt supposed to happen! Well, just use the code in the table.
*cries*
OK. Gnorthan can accept that he has to use photobucket.
sniffle
That made Gnorthan feel better. unless it doesn't work. In which case it will make Gnorthan feel worse.
well if it doesn't, this will help show why.

Well, there are better websites than PB.But yes you must uplode on a different site.
Horay! it worked!
tonight, gnorthan shall dance "the dance of copious happiness and approval with a small sprite on the internet"
it goes like this:
step left
step right
jump off left foot
blink x2
release ninjas
put foot behind head
repeat until navel disappears
so here are Gnorthans other questions:
1)Should the eyes be a different color?
2)Should the belt be a different color?
3)Should the arms be up or down?
4)Should the robe be darker?
5)Lighter?
6)How 'bout the mask
7)Should the arms be longer?
8)Shorter?
9)How should he attack? (Gnorthan was thinking he would flop-swing his arms)
10)Should he have to charge?
11)Should this sprite be used at all? Should someone create a run and a attack sprite?
12)If so, should Gnorthan or someone else make the other sprites?

oh, wait. Gnorthan forgot to yell "ka-blam" when he posted his sprite. He wanted to do that.
not too late now, is it?
KA-BLAAAAAAM!!!

KA-BLAAAAAAM!!!

1(No.The eyes look fine
2)Belt?What belt.aka yes it needs a new colour.

6)Nah
7)Nope
8)No Mabye bigger,actually.
9)No clue.Mabye shoot smoke?
10)Depends on if the smoke is a missle or spell.Porobably yes.

oh, Super_Merlin, you must've misunderstood Gnorthan. of course it would fire smoke, but in what manner?
Good job with the mask; however the arms could use a little work. It might be cool to have his arms/hands similar to the necromancer/evil wizards, but instead of flames, have smoke coming off of his hands. Also, in response to one of the questions, he could stand to be a deeper green, considering that dantheman suggests dark green.
oh, also, thanks for answering Gnorthans questions, super_Merlin.
Oh. whoops.Uhhh, mabye he would do it like thunder monks charge spells.
You're Welcome!
You're Welcome!
How can you miss the belt? It's, like, really obvious!
Sick.
pun intended, music note? from the description, Gnorthan can tell that the shrouders would be very toxic. in fact, Gnorthan thinks that when Dantheman said "with mask" he was referring to a gas mask. Thanks a lot though.
Pun's never intended (no pun intended)...
good. let gnorthan list all the times when puns are O.K.:
-the phantom tollbooth
-that's it.
-the phantom tollbooth
-that's it.
FTW?!?
This is pathetic, I know. But what does FTW stand for. I've heard it means "for the win".
I thought it was just a crazy reverse version of wtf.
"the phantom tollbooth" is the BEST BOOK EVER!!! by Norton Juster.
Ohhh...a booook.... thaaaat's what you were talking about... I get it now.
I've read that book! Seventeen!!!!!!!!
What's it about?
Wow- Darren remembers the Elephant! WOO!!!
I was going to say that a long time ago, but I had to sign off or what-not...

Hey! This isn't book club, people!
Actually, Gnorthan just go a letter from king Azaz saying that this is a book club. Our first book will be the phantom tollbooth. read ch.5 by Wednesday.
Could someone explain briefly what The Phantom Tollbooth actually...is? About? What type of book?
The general plot goes like this:
Milo is a young boy who doesn't seem to see the point in anything. He cant understand why they teach him such useless things in school. his room is filled with toys that don't make him happy (some of witch have never been opened)and he is generally confused and somber.
one day Milo finds a strange box in his room. it has an disassembled tollbooth and a map of The Kingdom of Wisdom in it. Milo gets in his wind-up car and goes through.
if someone else wants to explain the plot from there Gnorthan will let them.

AAAAAARGH!!! I DON'T LIIKE BOOKS!!!
...okay, who wants to burn dyrf for saying that?
You uneducated swine!
You uneducated swine!
He misspelled "like" and he typed in all caps. For shame dyfr!!!!! *laughs*
Okay, did you mean to spell my name wrong. P.S. I like animations way better. It better captures the action scenes.
Well, of course it would be animated! When Gnorthan asked if there should be attack and run animations he was hoping you'd understand that Gnorthan meant for "11)Should this sprite be used at all? Should someone create a run and a attack sprite? " to be one question in the form of two question with the same answer!
There's more to a good story, I think you will find, than action scenes - and a good action writer can create brilliant action scenes anyway.
For good ol' depth of character and plot, you can't beat a good book ;)

No. I just saying that I like animations better than reading.
No I didn't. *lol* I bumped the wrong key first.
Hobbes?
HOBBES?
THE MASTER OF GRAMMAR!?!?
HOBBES SPELLED SOMETHING WRONG!?!?!?!?
For shame... lol

Rox, that was awesome! I smile and laugh every time I read that.

Nice!But why are the hands going up like a fan?
His hands are made of green smoke so to speak.
Wait. Was the thundermonk black recolor used as something else?
That looks awesome^^
Oh yeah, it shoots the black energy blasts, not smoke.

Wait so r we keeping this?
R we replacing the black thundermonk wit this or r we not going to use this or we use both?
R we replacing the black thundermonk wit this or r we not going to use this or we use both?
Were using both, obviously, since the black thundermonk doesn't even shoot gas or anything.
Love. It.
I'm guessing that the best way to have the attack would be for him to shoot 10 or so smokes in rapid succession, and then have the smoke's land animation be really, really long. I'm not sure how to set the depth of sprites though, so i might just be hoping it appears over top of everything else as opposed to underneath.
Well in that case I LIKE IT!
nice.
indeed Gnorthan...indeed:)
Done. I also added for him a pretty fun close range attack, in which in shoots a flurry of smoke pins to push enemies into the main attack's more proper range.
Now add it to the MR open
It is there already. You would need a new public release of MRopen made by Steve/musicalnote though.
I'm hoping to get some time on MR Open in the next few days.
can we make it so u don't have to have an account on the collaboration bit because every time u send the acception to my email i never find it!I rlly want to play the new maps
What is your email provider? That may be the cause.
I dunno, it's drupal, it might enforce an email, but I guess Steve knows more about his own websites than me.

what do u mean by provider?
He means, is it gmail, hotmail, yahoomail or something else.
Provider is the person or company that lets the users have the service - in this case, as Hobbes pointed out, it would probably be hotmail or gmail or something similar.
ooooooooooooh!in that case my provider yahoomail
I guess someone would have to try testing on an yahoomail account as well, to see if the problem is in yahoomail generally or if it appears only on your account.
crazy, try looking in your spam or junk folder if you have one. Your email provider might have mistakenly put the confirmation email in there.
mmmmmmmmmk....ill try.
i just(darn my s key is not working properly) added this comment so it could be number #100!!!:)
I considered doing that. But I figured it's better not to make comments unless you have something useful to say...
yA but it feels happy to write the comment#100
Wow i totally underestimated the shrouder's power.It's pretty strong.
They are very nice enemies, very strong attack but few hitpoints means they either annihilate their enemies, or are annihilated.
Ha ya.They tend to get killed easily since not too many enemies are in the same alliance so they just beat the [flying popcorn] out of them.
Speaking about alliances, which alliance si this guy in? I know it is the magical alliance but what monsters are in the alliance?
*used* I think?
That is true. Maybe when Steve comes back he can fix it.
*done*
Yes, indeed.
Bug(that I've just noticed, and so I don't forget): The smoke appears underneath merlin.
