Cheers, mate. Hopefully I can have a preview by tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm doing it at 22 kHz. It's either MP3 out of sync with lower file size or ADPCM in sync with larger file size.

Still no reply from Tom.

Tom has not responded. He probably thought it was a joke and just ignored it. I contacted him and told him I compressed the file.

Same thing with the track he used for the main menu (forgot which one that was). Since whoever is watching this is only going to spent a short while looking at the menu and the blurbs, there's no need to put the entire track.

I didn't put the entire tracks on. If you listen for a little while, you'll notice how 2-3 minutes of each track is not there.

As I am surrounded by atheists and other religions yet I remain Catholic.

I had to get off Facebook... too addicting and a waste of time. I'm glad I'm off it now. All I hear from my friends that are right into it and don't do it right is bitching about what other people say on Facebook.

People who do it for a bit of fun, spend maybe half an hour to an hour a day and don't take what people say there seriously do it right and I have no problem with that.

I'd rather spend my time to waste playing video games than looking and commenting on photos which I, quite honestly, do not give a fucking sperm ball about.

At the moment, I am unable to upload the file because the internet keeps disconnecting and stopping the upload. As soon as my internet starts working as well as it has been for the past 12 months, I will upload it for you all to see and comment upon before submission.

DO NOT LOSE FAITH! AND I KNOW THIS WILL SOUND POXY DUE TO THIS COLLAB, BUT PRAY!

I was able to compress it to 21.5 meg.

And my internet is being a massive pain and keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes... BITCH!

If I can eventually upload this thing, I'll post the link here for you all to see and comment on before submission.

Ok, sorry, I was wrong. It cannot be Studio-Nightbird's part - his part is barely 215kb.

I'll try compression and crap. I may have set the audio quality too high.

I haven't received a reply yet.

I think it's Studio-Nightbird's part 40 that put on the file size due to the embedded video. The part is sexy, but it may just be too big. Let's have a vote.

Do we ask Studio-Nightbird to redo his part due to the file size or do we keep it?

Sorry, dude, I never answered this question. Yeah, it went in well.

So, here's the deal. The final file... it's over 30 meg!

I've PMed Tom to give me the power to submit something that size. I wish I had faster internet than 15 kbps upload.

I guess we'll get a preview of the finished product before it is submitted... right? :3

Oh of course. And there's talk in the house of internet upgrading. If we upgrade our internet, I could do more previews. It took me 20 minutes to upload the last .swf for a preview! >.<

eh EH???

Sure, go ahead. If anyone else wants to make another sig, go ahead too. If we have different sigs, it will attract more people i.e. someone doesn't find one sig attractive, but finds the other attractive.

I just woke up. >.<

I've PMed everyone else who needs to. Getting replies too.

Oooh, I like it!

At 10/29/09 04:27 PM, PinkSkull wrote: SAYS?

iunno i think its better to just make'em fit,
why dont you change the order of the buttons? xD

Nah, I like it the way it is.

Thanks for the replies, guys. And I accept 0 reviews as long as they have better reason than just "Bush makes it suck". In fact, I accept 0 reviews even if there is no reason behind it, but I don't want to be bombarded by the same guy who is breaking the rules.

The thing is, n the space of one-two days, it received two reviews giving it a 0 due an animation of Bush. I suspected the two users were both the same person but I didn't care of it enough to contact someone. But now another review from a user who has hardly done anything on Newgrounds saying he doesn't like it (or much) for the exact same reason... I just want to shut this down in case this becomes a regularly activity by this person. That is IF it is the same person and it's not just different people following someone else.

Recently, one of my Flash animations, which is a collab where people put lots of hard work into, has been reviewed by 3 users giving it low scores due to George Bush being in it. This animation has been on NG for over 2 years without any hate of it and suddenly, I get 3 reviews.

I believe it's the same user creating more accounts just to review the Flash and give it a lower score.
Who do I contact to investigate? A review mod or an admin?

Cheers!

you could use "remarks" if that is better...

I want something really short. If you look at the menu, the three buttons are like this:

SMALL
BIGGER
SMALL

I want to keep it that way. If nobody can think of anything, I'll end up making them all long to fit in "comments" like Master-Samus suggested.

Alright, guys, because we don't really have bios but more just author's comments, I want to change the Bios button to something else on the menu. It has to be a short word so it looks good on the menu.

If anyone knows a short word that means "comments" or something similar, please post it here!

I'd say November 3rd.

If it's a question of bios, how many are needed?

Everyone needs to send me their bio. I will contact those who have not sent the bios soon.

Also, Part 42/Credits (almost done)

OMG PART 40!!

Studio-Nightbird, send me the .fla!

Problem = fixed.

I love Newgrounds.

If that doen't work a workaround could involve finding the problem frames through StopAllSounds or something like that.

Actually, I'm not using scenes. I'm using frame labels to label the scenes for the actionscript. Everything is on the main timeline.

I'm putting the full song in for the final production. All of the sound clips inside the MC's are taken out.

RazorHawk, the preloader worked fine.

Thanks EKublai for the advice. I'll try a few things.

The animation is very good for a stick animation. Nice work.

Audacity is the program I use to convert .mp3's that aren't compatible with Flash to be compatible with Flash. You'll probably need to download the LAME MP3 Encoder.

And, for the 58th triple post, I'm facing another problem which some of you may know how to fix.

Some parts seem to go out of sync when you play it from the start. However, if you watch it from scene 2 or 3, it is all in sync.

Any help?

that is freaking weird.

I'm having major problems getting ColdReaver's part 37 in. I tried putting other parts in and they worked fine. I deleted all the PNGs and tried putting the part in and that worked. All the PNGs being placed into the final .fla are too much for shit Flash CS4 to handle.

ColdReaver, you reckon you can use vector art to make your backgrounds in that part?
