Icon Templates and Barubary's Icon Maker

[Garamonde]

And again I edit the link to include the newest revision where the text adding function has been fixed again.

[Garamonde]

Finally got off my lazy rear and actually added information on V3b's newest features to the bottom of the OP, quoted from my model ripping guide.

[Davy Jones]

Can you post the latest version at the beginning of the OP? Little bit confused here.

[Garamonde]

I edited the quote in the OP since that's where the original link was.

(Yeah, it's not the same one from a while back. So shoot me.)

Barubary's Icon Maker:

VIDEO TUTORIAL

There is no excuse left to mis-align the text, use a different or blurred font, or somehow screw up the colours of the icon.*

As a Christmas-present, I give you an Icon Maker. Yes, you read the right; an Icon Maker, as in "A program that can make icons". Find it here: Icon Maker v3b

But eh, I went ahead and stuck the link at the top too.

[Davy Jones]

Wonderful, thanks =)

[Garamonde]

V3b's insanely useful so it'll be helpful especially when making icons with AA'd sprites and the text issue has hopefully been fixed.

Another question:

The icon maker doesn't work for me, do I need an additional program to run it? Like Framework or Java (new PC).

[Garamonde]

If this new PC don't have Java then yes you'll need that to run it.

Question:

Transparency - Background - Top left Pixel: What does this exactly mean?

[Previous]

It means that it will take the colour of the top-left pixel of the image you loaded as transparency colour.

[Davy Jones]

I thought so, but actually this is what the tool is not doing.

It keeps the picture without any transparency.

[Previous]

It worked fine here when I tested it by making that one pixel a specific colour. *shrug*

[Davy Jones]

Very weird, here is a picture:


What I am doing:
1- Image - Transparency - Background - Top Left Pixel
2- Image - Paste Image

Have I overlooked something?

[Previous]

Try 2, then 1. Otherwise it will select the top-left pixel colour of a non-existing image and probably default to some colour not present in your picture.

[Davy Jones]

Ahhh, perfect. Thanks for your help =)
