Lanes emojis for Slack/Discord

Post by vince1612
Hi all,

[REPOST from the now closed beta Lanes forum]

Like me you've probably tried at one point or another to explain a specific WME lanes layout to someone else, but found it a bit tough to describe because of the limited emojis from Slack, GHO, Discord etc...

So some also use expressions like T, Y or + junctions, but it's not always enough or clear for all of cases, which only leaves us with the option to take a screenshot and share an image file.

Since Slack and Discord allow to add custom emojis, as an alternative I've made a folder with lane directions for junctions that have 1 to 3 segments, including U-turns, according to how they appear in WME

Note: For U-turns, files named "lanes###a" are for right-hand traffic countries and those named "lanes###b" are for left-hand traffic countries.

Have fun with them ;)

Thank you for sharing

Do you have more emojis of other types that we can integrate into Discord?

Thanks for your answer vince, we are already testing lanes emojis. :)

As far as I know, most Discord servers are limited to 50 custom emojis. I'm not sure if there is a "paid" way around that but most of our servers already have a handful of emojis loaded up.

I'm aware, our community uses Slack so we don't have this issue and haven't run into any emojis limitations yet. Unfortunately for Discord the only option is to pay to boost the server.
Level 1 Boost wrote:+50 Emoji Slots (for a total of 100 emojis)
128 Kbps Audio Quality
Go Live streams boosted to 720P 60FPS
Custom Server Invite Background
