Forum update and submissions

That plan should work for searching, would it be possible to display either the screenshot or sprite itself as the link? Well, I guess that would fall in as the description wouldn't it?

I'm thinking an admin could crop a teaser (1 pose, magnified to 32x48) for character sprites or even the user could upload his own when submitting. However this is irrelevant to portraits or monsters, the teaser being the sprite itself. One thing is sure is that the result list will look ugly regardless of what I do if I have result images that are different size... unless I crop/pad/resize everything to a 48x48 teaser just for the purpose of having an idea what the sprite look like. 48x48 allow portrait, special sprites and a magnified pose to be fully displayed while monster could be 1/2 of their original size and center croppped to 48x48 at worst.

Sure, looking for a vanilla full sheet or maybe a "Cloud" sprite would be fine, but just looking for a cool custom sprite would take awhile (other than narrowing it down to "full character sprite" through search.

You'll be able to search something like "Cloud" + [NPC] + [12+ colors]. However while browsing stuff on RHDN or art site like deviant art, I learned that you are sometime better to look all entries in a specific category or look at a one word result in ALL categories rather than doing very specific search that give few results.

Hell, guess while I'm at it I'll ask for an onsite AI that will sort and give suggest sprites based on the user's profile.

Haha. Nice one!

But wait! What if I want a PC sprite that uses palette #482?

It's like looking for a FF6 patch for SNES that fixes the item duplication bug. 0 search result lol.
