Quick Question about Mall banners

Submitted by davymuncher on Sat, 26/09/2009 - 5:45pm
I was looking though the graphics, and I noticed that on the coding in the mall banners the coords had 4 points, and I'm just curious, which ones are on the X axis and Y axis? In the "coords="19, 78, 196, 163" does it means that this button is 19 by 78 (Pixels?) wide and 196 by 163 High? or how does that work? Thanks!

I do believe it means that the top left corner of the area you want clicked is 19 pixels from the left side of the image and 78 from the top. And the second pair of numbers is how far from the left/top the bottom right corner of the area you want clicked is. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ahhh, that would make sense. So the 2 corners of a box.

Yep. Although I believe there is one mall that has round buttons in which it's coded so that the clickable area is round also (Unknown Utopia) and 1434sweet used to have a NB ad with triangular buttons. I'm not sure how this is done though.

[center] You can code banners specifically with circles and another shape or two for the clickable part (I saw a petpage on how to do that once). However, Unknown Utopia actually has circular banners, with square coding... The first time I coded it, I had no clue circles were possible, and after I knew, I was far too lazy to fix something that wasn't broken. :O So if you click in a corner outside of a circle, you'll still get to the shop. :O ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center]

[center] Lol, nope. The squares are pretty tight, but squares nonetheless. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center]

Does the circle coding really make a circle (Or as close as pixles can get) or is it a simpler shape like Hexagon or Octagon? They're pretty circular and I would guess that they'd be easier to do than the infinite sided shape.

I would imagine with the circles that you put a point in the very center of where you want clicked and then somehow figure up the radius. IDK but that seems like the way it would go. If you ever find that petpage again would you mind sharing it? I'd love to know how to do that!
