Original Post:

Hey I'm new here.
I enjoy playing n and decided i would make a cursor set.
I thought it was a good time to start my involvement in this forum by sharing it.
Here is a preview of the Cursors (note some are animated):




Thanks to RealWorld Cursor Editor for their great software.

I hope you enjoy these. Post any feedback you wish.

:)

Note: can you please delete any posts that are no longer relevant?

HOLY CRAP!
that is soo awesome
i like the working in background

Yeah i spent alot of time on Working in Background and busy.
I was going to make it the main pointer but it would have been to distracting...

Ahahah. Ahahah. Fantastic, dude. I look forward to seeing updates on this in the future.

Nice.

Methinks this should be in images. Moved!

Wow, some of these are really cool. Ideas for progression...

> Make the animation smoother on animated sprites.
> Use a transparency effect on the edge of the ninja/other stuff, so it doesnt jarr against other backgrounds.

Other than that, great.

Fair Enough. It was a tough decision where to put it, but i think that would be more suitable.

Yes, two things i would have done had i had the patience :P
I just used the ninja pictures in the help section (they are slightly bigger than the in-game ninja), like a moving slide show lol.
Transparacy should take a while though. it is hard to see them on the backgraoud :P

Ah, that's not what I meant. Anti-aliasing is what to do there. Get paint.net for free (just put it in google and download), then download the anti-alias plugin and you should be able to blur the edges. Although a translucent ninja would be cool too :)

I see. Does paint.net work for .ani and .cur files as well?
No biggie if it doesn't would just take a little longer..
I think the animation is fine, but some people would prefer the smoother style, so i will make one like that too.

Great work esay! I am so using this as my cursor scheme. Also, welcome to the community!

Wicked. I'm glad people are using it as their main cursor :D
Let me know if you are too. :)

just one complaint, i absoulutely hate how the normal cursor looks under a dark background, maybe you'd like to fix that

That has already been fixed.

Delete me.

wow, you're already popular!

Tehehehe i hope so :D

There is one thing you can improve on this already awesome cursor. Make it animated, though I'm not sure if you're capable of that yet :)

Like N jumping on the spot and running etc.
Nice work and welcome to the forums :) esay hehe; essay

I am capable of making it animated. Busy and working in background are animated.
I chose not to make the main one animated as it could be distracting.

i don't mean that essay btw ;)

You're awesome. I bet tomwrrow you're going to make a new forums!

You know, this is the kind of topic N_625 would've started back when he still played :(

aww thanks :D

OK here we are folks!
The N Cursor set is now complete and available for download!

This is great! Just a few things need fixing...

Ninja needs better transparency around the sides.
Available looks weird flashing. Just make it a chaingun.
Link select doesn't have a smooth animation.
Something other than gold for the resizes. They look weird with heaps gold in them.

Apart from that, it's fantasic! Love the Busy/Working in Background cursors!

You hurt me UniverseZero.... ;_;

Anyways Here's My response:

"Ninja needs better transparency around the sides." - I think its fine. You can't really see the transparency when its light and it stands out in the black.

"[Un]Available looks weird flashing. Just make it a chaingun." - The unavailable cursor is seldom seen, and when it is, you want it to be eye-catching.

"Link select doesn't have a smooth animation." - I understand, and it doesn't particularly need it, plus it would be quite hard to do.

"Something other than gold for the resizes. They look weird with heaps gold in them." - The Gold is very small and hard to notice. I don't think it needs a change.

i've never seen this working in background or busy thing before, how do you see it?

Assumuing you added it Correctly, When you open up a large application, or when a window stops responding (Happens alot in vista :P)
