Assuming there is more than one good submission, will it be possible to have lots of sets and let us choose?
Like put the images outside of the pure check like with huds.

I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.

Embedded in text. There for TJW's new emote icon things. In game they will show up the same hight as normal text is. As for style, your the artist  I would think like the icons used in the HL kill messages, but that is just my opinion, may be totally wrong. |

Updates:
1 - TJW should be releasing an "easy" method for you guys to test your icons in a client soonish.
2 - Piper802 - That clearly isn't 64x64 or 128x64
3- Using the doublewide size is purely optional, we just thought it made weapons and stuff easier to make.
4 - It is unclear as of yet if these will be swappable, I wouldn't hold your breath.
5 - If you are seriously planning to enter, would be very nice of you to send me and email or post here so we know to expect *something*
That is all.

Forum icons are under 16x16, and we need 64x64.
If someone made some in that style it would be awesome though.

More information about using and testing emoticons:
If you're using Photoshop, here's how transparency is set up:
Make the image
Select what you want to be NOT-transparent (or select the transparent part then do selection | inverse)
Select | Save Selection
Save it as "Alpha 1" without the quotes, with the space
Save as a whatever_1x1.tga
When asked, say 32-bit
(I'm told this may be different in versions of Photoshop before CS)
Personally, I'm using the following method to test them and I think it's a little easier:
Use any client that runs up to date vms (mg, tf, basically any of them newer than tjw)
Have played on mgdev such that you have those vms / folders
Head to fs_homepath and put whatever_1x1.tga in homepath/mgdev/emoticons/whatever_1x1.tga
Use the "mods" menu to switch to mgdev
devmap atcs
sv_pure 0
devmap atcs
then say [whatever] and enjoy your emoticon
If you want to alttab back out to Photoshop, make changes, then save them, you can run /devmap atcs again (without repeating the other steps) and your changes will load
If you save your emoticon as .tga in such a way for us, that would be nice, but it's not a requirement for submission.

Everybody lost because nobody entered. You all complain so loudly that the devs don't do anything, but when we ask for a little help and input... you guys do nothing!
