    Can we have a Chair section for donators? Exclusively for donators and chairs should be untradeable. Epic Chairs that aren't given from any sort of events. I'm pretty sure more people would donate ^_^

    Most of all of the working, if not all, chairs gave already been given out.

    I'm sure this could be a possibility but we would need to figure out a nice selection of working chairs which have not yet been given out.

    I think this would be difficult, because, as Kenny says, just about all of the working/mostly working chairs have been given out. I have sent him a list of chairs that might work but that we don't have yet, but it's a very small list, and likely to be smaller still when we've ousted the ones that don't work properly and/or dc you. I'd guess that if we're lucky, we might get 5 working chairs out of this list, and honestly, we could really do with these as GM Event prizes.

    Obviously, it's not up to me to say yay or nay, but truthfully, I don't think it's a good idea.

    I suppose one way round this might be if people designed Maple Royals exclusive chairs which are compatible with v. 62!

    I have a few idea's for custom chairs that are maple related. There are a lot of custom chairs that I could modify a little bit and so we could release them to donators. Also! If anyone has any photoshop skills and that can make the two effect chairs into one PNG. I may be-able to fix a lot of broken chairs that way!

    I love this idea; if we manage to fix chairs with 2 animations, then we could make a nice selection out of those before we give them out.

    Realistically, I think creating/modifying custom chairs is probably the way to go. Some of the two-effect chairs will be fixable, but not many.

    Having tested all the chairs we currently have and browsed through quite a few on BannedStory 4, I think I know what the issue is. For the most part, the two-effect chairs that don't work are the ones that have a png image that goes behind the player and a png image that goes in front of the player. (In the case of animated chairs, the "image" will actually be a series of pngs, similar to the frames in an animated gif.)

    The way to fake the appearance of an image in front of the player and an image behind them seems to be to have a small transparent area which the face peeps through - eg the Cuddly Polar Bear chair. This works because all the MapleStory heads are the same size and shape. Hairstyles, hats and clothes, however, vary in shape, which poses a problem. To give a couple of examples, the way to fix the Teddy Bear Bed Chair and 10 Week Stay Chair (hospital bed!) would probably be, in both cases to combine the two image effects and create a small transparent head-shaped area in the right place. To get around the hair being cropped off, a nightcap (or bandages, for the hospital bed) could be added into the combined image. (Hope I'm making sense to at least someone out there!)
