Well: if we're going to be using Pacman, I say we upgrade THIS roof billboard to be a computer screen!

Guinea pig calenders are only funny as long as they aren't wearing bikinis.

Then it gets......disturbing.

Although, calenders with guinea pig recipes, now that's something I'd buy!

I'm being serious. The image I posted is 256 by 1024. It has five frames. Can it be used as a billboard roof thing? Someone needs to try this out!

What YOU need is a trip to South America.

And for the squeamish... DO NOT CLICK ON THE IMAGE LINK IF YOU LIKE GUINEA PIGS.

Do click on it, however, if you like guinea pigs with chips and mushy peas.

Tastes like chicken.

@Pangloss - I like the Pacman ad but it's not in keeping with the style of the rest. Could I suggest cutting him out of his background and "neonifying" him.

PS - Never had guineapig but I can vouch for clay roasted hedgehog...

Non-shader version...

...and the 5 frame version. Neon brightened, cropped, the works.

(although i like it as a general concept very veryyyyyyy general

)

OK do the alien I surrender

That should be ok with a little bit more careful cutting out around the outline(s) of the pacman(s) - I personally quite like the pixelated, video-effect striping.

Possibly have a "food pellet" move in from left to right and disappear on the image with no mouth...

Anybody else like to vouch an opinion?

Hey, that WAS careful cutting! It's a lousy YouTube video, which did not lend itself well to being enlarged. People WILL upload videos with the crap compressed out of them!

I did make sure the edges don't show jagged lines on the black backboard...

Hows about adding the LED effect Griff(?) was experimenting with for the ring board. Maybe in two colours, red, yellow, black for off?

Back to the problems that I have with the happy frog ad (as an 1x1 billboard ad and also as a roof billboard)
When I try to put the original artwork into the 1x1 billboard I have this message

Code: Select all

[texture.load.png.warning]: ***** A PNG loading warning occurred for AddOns/YOUR_AD_HERE_set_C.oxp/Textures/yah_set_C_ad_small_2frames.png: Ignoring attempt to set cHRM RGB triangle with zero area

But since this is a warning the ad works

and is a very nece one.

In the modified version made by Griif (love it!!) I have only one problem. When you put something with letters into the roof of a rotation station you have the following problem:

So if we remove the letters it would be ok, but this will make the ad a 3frame one and since we do not want a 3 frame animation ad we should create a forth animation with something else instead of the letters
