Yes, actually. You look like a Super Chicken.

I'm also actually thinking of changing my picture as well, but to what I'm still unsure.

Well, I changed my picture, but I couldn't get it to animate. Dang it!
Edit: Scratch that, it does animate, but it won't loop the animation.

That reminds me, collections can have an animated gif background? Inspiring!

And no, another map inspired me actually, but I just had to say this somewhere... This is as good a thread as anything.

OT: You guys are cracking me up.

Hey, how would I make the animation loop for my picture? It's a .gif file.

If your program doesn't let you set that stuff, hex the file. Change bytes 31D-31E to 0xFFFF to make it loop 65535 times, the maximum.

Open it in a hex editor. Notepad++ will do in a pinch, if you don't have anything else.

I opened it in Notepad++ and dear god, I don't want to post what I saw. I understand you trying to help me out, but your going to have to be more specific. Where do I change the bytes?

Yeah, it's a binary file, which means almost no readable text. Hex editors are better since they show you the numbers as well, I recommend XVI32.

If you go to the byte number I mentioned, either by counting characters in Notepad++ or using a "go" function in a hex editor, there will be some numbers which either say "00 01" or "01 00" there. (In Notepad++ it would be little boxes saying "NUL SOH" or "SOH NUL")

Change them to FF FF in the hex editor, or find a character with a black box saying "DEL" in Notepad++ and copy and paste over those two. That changes the number from 1 to 65535.

I guess I'll join in on this for a bit. Shame about the light colored background though.

Nice Mecha Sonic msleeper. I tried to change 31D and 31E to FF but didn't get the result I hoped for (instead I got blank space), thank goodness I made a copy before editing.

Edit: Okay, I go to 31D and 31E and see 48 and 90 in their place. Am I supposed to change that or something else?
Wait a minute, I feel confused. I change all 00 and 01 to FF?

I have another version where he's standing on top of the master emerald but it's on a different PC.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had Silver Sonic also.
Edit: Oh and to clarify on what I'm using, it's XVI32.
There is more than one "00 01," in fact some are "00 01 00". I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to change considering there is more than one "00 01" and "01 00."

The 00 01 simply represents...the number 1. According to my copy of the GIF file format spec, those two bytes say how many times it should repeat. Correct me if I'm wrong. But there are of course many other number 1's in the file, for example, saying that a certain pixel should use palette color 1.

The easiest solution now IMO is to make an apng instead.

There are like hundreds of free, web based GIF editors.
