It would be fun, but might take too much time, to upload all of the Deaths Pictures.. Or at least links to TMDORW...

I've been thinking about that, and thinking about how to lay it out. Considering it is a lot of images for each death.

Check out SQ1 (EGA) Deaths to see what I came up with.

Heh. Well, here's my two buckazoids...

Whatever you decide to do regarding screenshots and sounds for deaths is you folks' thing... I have enough trouble keeping things in order on my own webspace. ;)

I can't allow you to hotlink, I'm afraid. But you can upload whatever files you want here, or link to my gallery pages, whichever you like. (I agree, without a mass-upload feature, it'd be a serious pain.) Although considering I'm in the middle of a major overhaul (Yeah, I've been saying that how long now? But I'm actually making good progress this time.) you might want to wait until I'm finished to make life easier.

I'm seriously pondering turning the whole she-bang into a wiki now... although while I like the wiki concept, I dislike the wiki software itself. Anyhoo. Just idle musings there.

BTW, I like the new cute little Favicon. --Jeysie 08:27, 17 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Because I'm slow (and because I have animated GIFs disabled in my browser) I never really noticed the full extent of what PCJ came up with until I just saw the image description on the Sarien Spider Droid page. I just want to give a belated "Way cool... sweet!" compliment... --Jeysie 20:11, 25 Jun 2005 (EDT)

So I guess I can go ahead on the rest and not worry about your update? Thanks for the compliment. Those are all custom timings, too. ;)

Heh, yes. I'm planning on finally taking advantage of PNG's better compression to replace all my SQ pics with "full-size" versions, but that would be more or less moot with the animated GIF concept (since larger GIFs would be huge!). Not sure what to do about SQ6 pics, though... I originally cut them down and added in custom texting because they resized poorly. Hmm. --Jeysie 22:38, 25 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Perhaps the text could be in a separate frame for SQ6...or something else entirely.

--pcj - Talk 23:07, 25 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Ah, I had a thought. Maybe when I finish taking the full-size SQ6 pics for my site I'll create some "hacked" versions for you with the interface cut off, leaving just the "action" window. Most of the SQ6 deaths are action-heavy and text-poor anyway, so when viewed in the context of the Omnipedia article it won't matter much. They'll still be larger than "normal" half-size pics, but not quite as bad as full-size ones.

Too bad browser support for MNG is pretty poor. ;P --Jeysie 23:31, 25 Jun 2005 (EDT)

That should work. Great.
