I was messing around tonight in Edtv's room testing out the magic spells with some other people. All of a sudden, I saw Edtv use the pirate pin, but in the middle of the animation he changed back to his normal avatar, but still with the sparkles! I sent him a quick IM and asked him if he had any idea how he pulled it off, but he said it was an accident. So, needless to say, I had my new quest for the evening: figure out how to reproduce the pirate pin bug!

I'm happy to report that I've figured it out, as you can tell from my new signature. :)

While I'm tempted to keep this under my hat and have some more fun with it first, chances are they might fix this bug soon and I want you to all have a chance to try it out and get screenshots while you still can. Personally, I hope they NEVER fix this because it's way cooler than the pirate pin, in my opinion, and I don't see any harm in it.

Okay, here's what you do:

1) Open up the clothing window (not necessary, but reduces time to complete the trick).

2) Use the pirate magic pin.

3) Change any article of clothing, and select "OK" (to be sneaky, I change my shoes from gray to black so people don't know how I do the trick...however, now that I'm posting instructions, this isn't really necessary I guess).

That's it! Not too tricky at all. :) Have fun!

Can't wait to try it .

Thanks for spilling the beans 2 hours to late. :)

-ceburto

So Thats how you did it!!! Nice!!!!!!!

Can't wait to try it .

Thanks for spilling the beans 2 hours to late. :)

-ceburtoLOL...sorry for the delay, but I wanted to get my animation set up first. :p Given that I only figured it out at about an hour before closing time, I think this is pretty prompt disclosure!

Ah! That is so cool, can't wait to try it. :D Hopefully, scammers won't catch wind of this, because they'll totally tell Newbies with mickey ears that they have a special magic Tinkerbell pin that creates pixie dust around you, or something like that, and ask them to trade. :p

i <3 this glitch! :D

Very cool. I am excited to try it.

BTW - I will have a NEW Tinkerbell Magic pin (wink wink)

Thanks MrGenie! You are fabulous!

I think we should all submit 'bug reports' asking that they KEEP this glitch! If they don't hear anything positive about it, I'm sure they'll 'fix' it :(

What makes it go away? Changing clothes again? And does it persist after logout and login? If so, then perhaps even if they fix it, anyone who was sparkling before can still sparkle (like Baby and Squeakytoy).

Maybe we can tell them it's our very own VMK insider's pixie dust.

What makes it go away? Changing clothes again? And does it persist after logout and login?Once you trigger the effect, it lasts for the duration of your pirate magic pin (unlike the Buried in Treasure pin, you can combine up to five pirate magic pins for an extra long effect). However, the next time you use the pirate magic pin, you are back to the pirate again unless you perform the trick again. I don't think this is related to logging in/out of VMK.

Oh! I thought it was a permanent effect that you walked around with all the time.

On the one hand, too bad it's a temporary effect. On the other hand, it no longer seems like a glitch that *has* to be fixed. Yay!

They really should make a Pixie Dust magic pin!

Naming a magic pin after yourself eh?
Very sad.

Yeah, a little sad. :p

This is a cool trick! I just hope that in a day or two we don't see this "bug" fixed; but we still can't take pictures off the wall.

Naming a magic pin after yourself eh?
Very sad.Well naturally, I named this magic pin after myself because it's me behind all the sparkles (or fireflies, if you will), but that's the beauty of the bug...you get to name your own pin after yourself (or anything you want)! PLEASE don't name your pin the "MrGenie pin"...that's just creepy. :D

But what if I WANT to call it the MrGenie pin? *insert creepy laughter*

Lol, only joking :D

Can you tell me how you made an animation with one picture? Is there a program to take like 20 pictures over a period of time?

All i know about is print screen!

Can you tell me how you made an animation with one picture? Is there a program to take like 20 pictures over a period of time?Well, it was a bit of trial and error. It's pretty complicated, and I can't really walk you through the whole process (well, I could, but it would take me the next three hours to document :p). Instead, here's a general overview of what I did so maybe you can figure it out from here.

I could tell the pirate magic animation looped, but I wasn't sure how many frames there were before it started over. So, I spent about 10 minutes taking random screenshots and pasting them all into Photoshop. Once I had about 30 (yes, 30!), I looked at them one by one in an attempt to find a unique instance of each frame. After deleting all of the duplicates, I ended up with six unique animation frames that I copied and pasted as separate layers into the same Photoshop project, and I also cropped at this point. Fortunately, there is enough of a pattern in the animation that I was able to trace the path of one of the sparkles and arrange the frames in order. The final step was to save the whole project as an animated gif. I used ImageReady for this, but there are a lot of other programs that can do this (some of them are freeware/shareware...check on www.tucows.com).

Good luck! Animation is fun. :) I don't do nearly enough of it, but I always enjoy it when I do.

i got to try the mr. Genie Magic pin it it was so cool!

I used my Mr. Genie pin for the first time today. Worked very well. I'm sparkley as it is, but that helped me light up the neighborhood.

I used it for the first time today as well! However, I accidently changed my tank top to a weird, deformed purple shirt, so maybe it wasn't *entirely* succesfull...

Good luck! Animation is fun. :) I don't do nearly enough of it, but I always enjoy it when I do.I have just started with animated gifs in Photoshop and ImageReady. It is fun when you see the completed image. I will have to try this one for myself. Thanks for the great info!

HOW ON Windows XP did you take the pics sssoooo fast Mr.Genie ?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

HOW ON Windows XP did you take the pics sssoooo fast Mr.Genie ?? :confused: :confused: :confused:I didn't, although if there was a way it would have saved me a lot of work. I just took about 20-30 screenshots and deleted the duplicates. There are six frames in my animation.

Wow thanks MrGenie! Everybody wonders how I do it! :-)

Hey Mr. Genie. I went on the VIP insider tour yesterday at Disneyland and at the end they talked about the top 10 rooms in VMK and you Tic-Tac-Toe room was #1. And the guide mentioned how you have become something of a legend around VMK already.

No Problem MrGenie! And thank you for all the information you have provided me through these forums. Look me up in the game sometime I'd like to know what you think of my room, my screenname is DDRules.

Well, someone was kind enough to trade a Pirate Magic pin to me today, so I finally got to try this trick. What fun! I'll have to practice the timing, though; I can't seem to eliminate the short flash of Pirate costume before it changes. Thanks, Mr. Genie, for giving us this extra bit of sparkle! :pirate:

- Alice

I tried the trick MrGenie but it didn't work.

I tried the trick MrGenie but it didn't work.I just tested this and it still works fine. You might want to try again. Please let me know if you are confused about the instructions.

I just tested this and it still works fine. You might want to try again. Please let me know if you are confused about the instructions.

I've tried this, per your very detailed instructions, Mr. Genie :), and it works fine for me as well. I took a picture of myself, in fact, in my regular garb with the sparkles, and put it in my photo album. Neat trick - thanks for sharing!

that is so cool!

I keep trying and trying but it doesn't work I didn't get the pin please help

what is this supposed to do?

what is this supposed to do?It does exactly what my signature shows: you activate the pirate pin, but instead of becoming a sparkly pirate, you become a sparkly "you". :)

how do i use the magic pin, like activate it

yeah but how do you get the pirate magic pin?

look in the codes secton in the forum

Cool trick. I'm about to try...

i just tried that and that was so cool!! :happy: :CastMem: :goofy: :mickeymo: :donald: :) :mickey2: :mickey2: :) :donald: :mickeymo: :goofy: :CastMem: :happy: :piratesk: :pirate: :peterpan:

omgosh! that is really funny. I am going to try it today when VMK opens.

This is so cool. Sparkles, Sparkles everywhere. One night I went itno CL_KrazyChik's room, and like 8 people were doing it at the same time. I didn't get a pic. though, because I didn't know how to at that time.

plus, it has an interesting side effect if you exit and re enter the room while using this find...

I shall say no more, or else the squirrels behind me might get angry...

LOL..
Now I have to try it too.. lol
Thanks for sharing! :)

Lol yeah, I found that out by my self as well, I didnt mean to click the magic pin and it went on so i thought Hmm.. I wonder if I can put "Pink" shoes on the pirate, then it just changed to the sparkles.. Also I wreckon its AWSOME you made that animation.. Maybe You could Make me one? :o :wave2:

Very kewl!

Ah! That is so cool, can't wait to try it. :D Hopefully, scammers won't catch wind of this, because they'll totally tell Newbies with mickey ears that they have a special magic Tinkerbell pin that creates pixie dust around you, or something like that, and ask them to trade. :p
ID be the one to tell noobies to trade for mickey ears lol :p

Okay, here's what you do:

1) Open up the clothing window (not necessary, but reduces time to complete the trick).

Hi, I'm new here. I tried this today and it worked fine, except I couldn't save a picture of me with the sparkles. I did a screen capture, then croped it in PSP7, and saved it as a .gif. I see the "still" sparkles in the pic, but no active sparkles like in the above pic. What am I doing wrong?

cat.herder
:cat1:

:(

i tried the pin

:(Yep, that's how it works...it lasts as long as your pirate magic pin lasts. Some of us were able to make five-star pirate magic pins while the pirate magic pin was still tradeable. Unfortunately, you can't trade it anymore so there isn't any way to get multiple pirate magic pins.

Wow really cool, ty Mr.Genie

lol
sorry about the teasing in yavn's room Mr.Genie
couldn't help it lol

lol i have known that for forever!

Hate to burst your bubble but I saw someone do that months ago. They showed me how to do it too. She called it pixie dust magic. It is way to cool. Angel Fancy :xmas35: :xmas30:

awesome cant wait to try it yay!

Hasn't anyone ever changed clothes while using the cursed storm pin? This sounds like the same idea. hmm.. wonder if the others are the same.

Hasn't anyone ever changed clothes while using the cursed storm pin? This sounds like the same idea. hmm.. wonder if the others are the same.
i've been doing the cursed storm for a long time
doesn't do anything but change your clothes in the storm

I tried to do the trick, but it did not work! Help me MrGenie. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I know!! i did that yesterday!! i was like OMG how did i do that!! and all of a sudden my friends kept bugging me on how to do that magic! LOL now i still didnt tell them! LOL

I was doing the "MrGenie Magic" yesterday and it only lasted for like 2 seconds! It does not last as long as it used to (the duration of your pirate magic). I think they have fixed that bug. :-(

I noticed this yesterday as well - not only have they fixed the bug, but when you try to achieve the pixie dust effect - the Pirate Costume goes away as well - and you still have to wait the full recharge time for the magic

I am a bit bummed - I really liked that effect!!!

I can confirm this no longer works...bummer! At least I still have my signature. :)

Yea Ur Lucky I Got a Movie Shot But It dissappeared....Just like This Bug

I can confirm this no longer works...bummer! At least I still have my signature. :)

It still does it for a second.. then leaves.. :(

It still does it for a second.. then leaves.. :(Yea,Aw Man,I Really Wanted to do it.

that's very cool thanks!

i done that i thought is was awesome

That is the best ever! I really appreciate you taking the time to figure things out, unlike me who has no patience at all.

~LuLu

that is soooo cool im going to try it right when i get on . which is in 2 minutes !! thx soooooooooo much!:CastMem:

:CastMem:

You know it doesn't work anymore..

well for 1 or 2 seconds

hmm..1 or 2 secs? well, its better than nothing! :)

Once you trigger the effect, it lasts for the duration of your pirate magic pin (unlike the Buried in Treasure pin, you can combine up to five pirate magic pins for an extra long effect).
