(Read my other post below for v1.55)

Weird Character Maker v1.2 is done!

New stuff since the last version:
When you select a part, some text below it will tell you which part is selected.
You can now change the Character's emoticon (Happy, Sad, Straight, Grin, more will come in new versions)
You can now press F1 to get a Help thing!

(I no that isn't a lot but I have only just remembered about this after Blast!10 reminded me in another topic)

Here are the links!
Smaller File Size Version (Use this link if you are NOT using Vista)
Vista Compatible Version

So, for those people who haven't seen the old version:
This is a program where you can make a funny looking character by customizing him (Read the help file in game (F1) to know more)

If you want you can post screenshots of your Weird Character here!
Oh and please give suggestions for how to improve this

Things that are going to be in next version:
New Emoticons
Ties

That reminds me I still forgot to make the CM forum visible.

I won't download this right now; instead, I'll download it to my own computer (I'm using my mother's computer now).

I'm going to work on the Tie colours now. When the new version comes out you can make the Ties the same colours as the jumper if you don't want your character to have a Tie.
Don't forget to suggest ideas or tell meh 'bout bugs (I don't think there are any bugs though since the program isn't that much "fluid" yet (You know what I mean)

Here is a screenshot of the new Ties!!!

Only been 2 days and already the next one v1.55 is here!
Updates:
1. Added new emoticon "Angry" (It's "Grin" turned upside-down-down!)
2. Added new ties to the objects! (Don't want your character to have a tie? Make it the same colour or move it out screen (See below)
3. Now, in my opinion, this is the best part of the new version: You can now "move" parts of the character around! Yep, you can now put that extra touch to your character by shifting the parts around a bit.
4. Updated Help File

(See in there for how to move the objects around)
5. Added "Reset" button to reset the character

A bug:
In the character maker if you press a colour on the right side it gets the colour diagnolly up

I don't know how to make a program.So I'm asking dlcs18 to do it.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 3:45 pm

If you don't know how to make a program yourself, why do you think it's really easy to make a program like this?
Yea, go and try make this yerself and see if it is that easy.

If you would look at the source (which I'm not gonna let you, duh

) you would see it has a lot more work put into it than you might think.

EDIT: My dad was impressed with how I said this

peegman: Clicking on one of the colours on the right side works ok for me... maybe your download was faulty, or were you using the Vista version and it happened?
The Vista version was made from gm7 and I normally use gm6 so I just
put the gm6 file into gm7 version and "exe'd" it. So maybe some of the programming didn't get through to the Vista Version properly.

Sry for double post but I want to show you what the new "Moving Parts" feature can do to make your character much better.
So here's three pics

Different shoes

And making objects biger or smaller

How about being able to copy parts of the character?
What about custom colours?
How about being able to change the smile's outer (black) and inner (white) colours?
What about being able to choose if the shoes and eyes are locked together, or apart?
How about being able to choose shapes to use for the charater, in a Shape Selection box?

So many suggestions!

1. Do you mean like having more than 1 tie on at one time? I could do that!
2. The reason why I can't do the custom colours thing is because the character is made up of sprites that have their own file and colour. e.g. JumperRed, JumperBlue. I don't actually use a fill option to fill in that colour. And if it was custom it would take a lot of sprites.
3. I could try, but it will be quite hard, but I can definetly try! Toons of the world unit... oh wait.

4. The objects are seperate sprites, but I could make a thing where two seperate sprite could move at the same time.
5. Yep. I can definelty do that!
So that means...
I could maybe do 4/5 of your suggestions.
I could definetly do 2/5 of your suggestions

and now... I'll tell you what I've already put in the new version

More Save Slots
Updated Interface
A button to change if there is a tie or not (e.g. If you click on it the tie will not be visible, and vice versa if you click it again.) This could be useful for people who don't want a tie on their character.

Good!

No wonder I like the BASIC language so much (I made QDGame in QBasic).

3. I could try, but it will be quite hard, but I can definetly try! Toons of the world unit... oh wait.

Hopefully you will do that.

4. The objects are seperate sprites, but I could make a thing where two seperate sprite could move at the same time.

I mean that you could have, perhaps, a button to toggle between moving both e.g shoes at the same time and moving them separately.

5. Yep. I can definelty do that!

Yay! Very good!
