Well Known Fursona

I was looking for stuff to put into /.well-known/, so I decided to add Pyrox's Well-Known Fursona for Foxis the Cookie Dragon. I even contributed to the spec!

Now that I'm using 11ty for my blog, it's really easy to make files where I want. I generate the well-known file and the characters page with the same javascript character data file. The file is close to the fursona spec format, but has some additional fields I use for emotes.

Check it out at /.well-known/fursona.

Foxis happy

Foxis: Hey, it's me!

Emotes

Now that I think about it, I didn't describe the data file when I made the character testing post. Each character has general data and a list of emotes for each supported character emotion. The images are stored relative to character, artist, and then emote name.

"emotes": [
    {
        "name": "cookie",
        "imagePath": "frost/foxis-cookie.png",
    },
    {
        "name": "happy",
        "imagePath": "frost/foxis-happy.png",
    },
    ...
]

Urls for the images are then generated relatively when specifying the character's name and mood with the charEmote shortcode.


{% charEmote "foxis", "happy", "Hey, it's me!" %}

This should make it easy to add another character at some point. Tears of the Kingdom really delayed this blog post so maybe I'll make a Zonaisona.

Gabriel Simmer made a nice fursona viewer, so go check it out at fursona.gmem.ca! You can view mine here fursona.gmem.ca/inconsistent.software.
