Where's the preview function?

Anyways, I believe that there should be a voting/strike system in place for layouts. If someone gets, say, 10 strikes/votes against them, a member of staff is notified and they judge it from there. If they deem it to be an eyesore, then it is removed, and given a warning. If it happens again, the layout privilege is nuked.

I figured a new thread here would be just fine because the one in General Chat is there to inform everyone that the feature has been added. It should be used for feature discussion, and not just showing off your layout, which can be done here.

So, without furtherer ado, show us your layouts! Try to add a quote tag in there as well, to show us what it looks like. Use the code below to test it out:

So, here's what mine looks like.

What you need to do is "rip" tiles from other games. There isn't really a program for it, just a lot of RGB values to convert. YY-CHR and Photoshop (or anything that can read RGB values efficiently) and just transfer the tiles over. Use the Help files in Lunar Magic to help you, they are there for this reason. There are also tutorials on the net to help you out, use Google.

Now, capitalizing every word is unnecessary. Capitalize only the first word and any proper noun. You should know this already, but this is just a little reminder.

Ahem, yeah. I'd drive the speed limit, but drivers here are so irritating. If they aren't driving *over* the speed limit, they're driving 5-10 *under* it.

Needless to say, I use my horn a lot.

And, here is a paragraph.

A male mantis approaches a female, flapping his wings and swaying his abdomen. Leaping on her back, he begins to mate. And quite often, she tears off his head. The female mantis devours the head of the still-mating male and then moves on to the rest of his body. If you put a pair together and come back later, you’ll just find the wings of the male and no other evidence he was ever there. Sexual cannibalism has fascinated biologists ever since Darwin.

No, seriously. That song alone has actually spurred a series of surprisingly lucid and vivid dreams that I've had. Seeing as it takes me ~30 mins to doze off into sleep, I've timed this song to start about an hour after I actually fall asleep, triggering this extremely high-state of conscious dreaming.

What I dream can explain why I like this song so much:

I picture myself in Samus' suit, in a First Person perspective. I look out through my visor and see myself amidst an abandoned power plant. Ridged pipes, rusted railing, and dented catwalks make up several series of buildings, each placed in a disorderly fashion. There are two moons that give a unique sepia tone to the metal, but light up the crumbling concrete ground as a pale blue. Moonlight glistens off of power wires, which, surprisingly, are very neat and orderly.

So, yeah. This mix is justifiably awesome. End of story. Period.

Well, I've got a crazy one for you. I have extremely lucid and realistic dreams. So real, in fact, that I sometimes have trouble telling dream from reality. There are only a few indicators that I can use to discern consciousness from dreams.

Consciousness:
-Spiritual Connection (God)
-Mortality (cuts and bruises I've had stays with me, but when I dream, they don't; I run a lot, get sore, but when I dream, I do much more than run, but never sore afterwards)

Dreams:
-My (semi) control over reality while dreaming
-Drastic changes in dreams

This isn't your normal dream. Like, I can get hurt pretty badly sometimes in my dream, and I would react accordingly while conscious. I'll give you an example:

About 7 years ago, I dreamed that I was riding my bike, and I got hit by a van going ~70mph. (The van was one of those aquamarine family vans, don't recall the make... [LOL]) I was hit with such force that my left arm had been severed. The rest of me was fine, aside from being cut, bruised, and road-rashed. I had awaken right after coming to a stop. I only saw a bit of my mother's face, when my memory failed me there. I came to about two hours later, covered in sweat, asking what had happened. Turns out, I had been in shock, screaming about my arm and the accident that I had had. My mother had called a doctor friend while I had this "episode" and he has no idea what happened, other than I had indeed been in shock.

I've had many many (less serious) experiences like this where I get a huge gash on my arm or leg, immediately wake up, actually feeling pain. It's gradually getting to the point where I can contain the less-serious ones in my dreams,

Another huge thing about this is the fact that I can remember every bit of my dreams. I remember full-color images, smells, touches, tastes, and every other extremely minuscule detail that you might remember in reality. I go to sleep and wake up the next morning with almost two days' worth of memories sometimes.

Seriously, is there a place online where I could explain this to a doctor, one that would actually listen to me? Perhaps get some testing done? I don't really have a doctor myself.

What do you guys think?

____________________

Well, really, I'm not at all "scared" to have these dreams, nor do I think they'll hurt me in the long run. I'm more or less interested to see if this is just a case of someone using more of their brain than normal, or some extreme medical feat like that. I just know that it's not normal, and I'm a little curious as to what a professional thinks.

I do get mauled pretty badly, however, this happens once in a great while. Most of my dreams are pretty awesome. They're usually influenced by games I play a lot, which are most recently Metroid Prime games.

This is as plain as I can be regarding this. There's so much more that goes on while I dream. The feelings, the smells, the incredible detail of my environment totally engrosses me in my dream.

I almost don't want to call it a "dream" anymore, because I still have regular dreams once in a while.

I think we need to elect a couple of extra administrators right away so shit can get done. Then we can worry about renaming the board, and reorganizing the staff. If we just keep going on the way we are going, then we're just dealing with this bottleneck of production, and very little would get done, if not anything at all.

General faggotry and general complaining.

Generally speaking.

I seriously need to set some time apart and play some of these games. I haven't played Adventure Island 3, but I keep hearing about it over and over by the community. Come to think of it, I think I remember picking a random ROM once and landing on Adventure Island 1.

As for that data, that's really the basis of what you'll need for an editor. What do you think you'll code it in?

I like board2. It's what this place has alternatively been known as, and it isn't in any way associated with Acmlm. So, here's a banner for the board.



____________________

Can we get the fuck back on topic please?

So, we've got:

- Blackboard
- board2
- board3
- boardhole89 (LMAO, btw)
- Catgirl Board (Borderline Ailure there...)
- Game Aver (I agree with setz, a little lame. Even though I made a banner containing it...)
- B-chan/Board-chan

Speak up if you *really* want any of the others to be included...

I personally think board2, Blackboard, and boardhole would be pretty good, preferred in that order.

____________________

2.

I support the merger. I keep hearing about the board's security status, and since I'm no coder, I can only take people's word for it. I'm for a more secure board software, whatever it may be.

It seems just a shame to throw away something that many people call home. Then again, i'm one of those fucking packrats that wants to keep *everything*.

Please keep all of your threads relating to Game Genie codes in the other thread. You don't need to make new threads for Game Genie codes for different games. Just post in the one that already exists.

I'm closing this...

A lot of NES codes are easy to find out typing them in randomly, but there is a tool out there that allows you to create your own. The tool is actually an emulator called FCEUXD SP and has a game genie decoder/encoder built in, among other tools.

I'm speaking as if you've never heard of it before. I dunno why, but maybe it deserves a good introduction once in a while?

Anyway, if you have knowledge of how the NES works, you can create some killer GG codes for games!
