Idea: Essence Smileys for the board

[murphy]

in this forum we often talk about blocks. sometimes you can post a screenshot, and sometimes people use ASCII graphics.

I think we could make a cool hack with the smileys, like this:

;D

;D ;D
;D ;D ;D

does it remind you of something?

if there would be smiley icons for all 5 Essences and empty fields, this could represent a block diagram of the Mine. they could even be used inside of the text, like "I think 5000 are too much for a Short Sword."

I can try and make some appropriate 15x15px GIFs if you want.

is it even possible to add smileys in this board?

They might not be able to add them because of how basic proboards is... but we will see.

I think that would be really cool if you made them, if you do you should just post them and see if they use them. Maybe other people will start linking to them/add them to a FAQ when we get it.

If they had some sort of web window that we could use to make faux box setups/character skills that would be awesome.

I would also like to see detailed information on characters, items, blueprints ect on a webpage along with FAQs and a smalll guide to the world of Aurora Feint. I think it would be awesome.

And boy oh boy am I hoping for racial traits at some point

It is possible to make tables, but I can't for the life of me figure out how they work. It would be too hard to do it that way, from what I can tell.

When the forum gets put on the main site then it would be easier to make custom smileys. But at the moment i just don't think its possible

Good point, I guess we will just have to hold out. I just want the update today and I'll be happy.

We are all waiting on apple for the update now... this is rather tedious. But when it arrives... i cannot wait.
