Title: RONatar - the avatar creator!
Post by: Retro Wolf on Thu 29/01/2015 21:27:09
RONatar v1.1
(http://dl.dropbox.com/s/04263h6upyt62kd/RONatarPROMO.png)

Using RONatar:

Up and down keyboard keys select the body part.

Left and right keyboard keys cycle through the currently selected body part category.

Sometimes you will be given the option to press X
This might adjust the height position of the body part or generate a completely new colour.

Press S to save a 120x120 png which is compatible with the AGS forums (most forums I'd imagine).
Some forums require that you host the avatar on a server, tons of free sites are available.
postimage.org
tinypic.com
imageupload.co.uk

Mess about and have fun!
Feel free to PM me on the AGS forums, let me know if you use a forum avatar!

Started the coding side of things.

Some parts aren't always compatible, but that was to be expected.

The project looks very interesting.  I can see it being used to quickly generate & experiment with character concepts (the head at least).  Once it's done we'll work at getting it on the RoN site.

Will there be future updates for female heads?

Yes, eventually I'll add female.

Updated original post, had to abandon the html5 part of the project, turns out Game Maker has a fit when you start blending colours and saving pngs with the html5 module.

Sweet! I just created a quick avatar (not sure how much it resembles to my 'true' self, though) :-D:

Edit: I've modified it so the background is transparent for my forum avatar.

Awesome!
Keep them coming, it's my dream to see every avatarless AGSer make a RONatar!

RI sent me some new face parts so I'll be releasing an update at some point.
The update will also make saving the avatar a lot easier, turns out I was using the wrong functions! :-[

Huzzah!

Also, does anyone have any tips on making the background transparent?

@DeviantGent: I use GraphicsGale to set the transparent colour, Photoshop type programs should work too.

Final version (1.1) released, saving issues resolved, more stuff!

I'd like to thank Renegade Implementor for contributing to the project.
