Soly Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A while ago I made some applications to edit stuff for pso (server related), now that I have made quite some progress and changes in my own version of a pso server software, I need to remake all those programs I did before (I'll put a list below) Coding the applications is no big deal, but there is something I can't do which is make icons for them (I suck). I recently got to a usable state 2 of those applications and got icons for them (again, will put below), but there are more to come and I don't have icons for them. Before I used @Cyane's section IDs which are quite nice but I have already used them in the previous versions of these applications and don't want to reuse them. So basically, I want to see if some of the talented people here in Ultima (or from somewhere else, doesn't matter I guess) can help me out with getting or making icons for these new applications (and I can probably reward with game stuff) if I get to use the contributions. I don't know why but I am liking pixel art ones (which make easier to distinguish with the low resolution of the window icons) so unless specified, I'd like pixel art stuff. Early notes The icons must look good at 24x24 (smallest size I will use) and will go up to 256x256 (linear scaling, can't break, can it?) This is a list of applications that have or need icons: -------- BP Editor (monster parameters) Current icon: You can probably tell this icon is from the emoticons of GRIf, which are in the shoutbox, etc, I would like to get something a little prettier if possible (must be a monster of psobb). -------- PLT Editor (character stats, base stats and the stats you gain from leveling up) Current icon: You might guess this racast head is part of a banner Cyane made, I like this one (some might guess why), so unless you think there is a better character icon, don't bother with this. -------- These are all the ones I have icons for You might notice the trend for an icon related to what the tool does Now the ones that need some love -------- PT Editor (common drops and stuff related to them) Current icon: none I would like a green item box, because this tool handles chances of the common green boxes -------- RT Editor (rare drops) Current icon: none I would like a red item box for obvious reasons. -------- PMT Editor (item stats, as well as weapon ranges and all sorts of things) Current icon: none I would like an orange box because we already used red and green (also 3 icons being the same but changing color, must be easy no?) -------- ME Editor (mag specific stuff) Current icon: none The cutest pixel art mag you can come up with? I don't know if this program will see the light but might as well do it while we are at it no? (Because this file isn't really edited much if ever) -------- Item Maker (put all item details together to create it in game) Current icon: none This one, I have no idea, maybe some weapon, come up with something -------- Database Manager (ease management of the game database) Current icon: none No idea here either, suggestions are welcome -------- Unitxt (text stuff) Current icon: none Yet another one I have no idea... this one is not a program with a graphical interface so if you don't have any good suggestion, we can leave it alone (no love for you) -------- Anything else I forgot, we'll see later 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serverus Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 well it really depends on the format of the pic. if u are using jpg or other when u enlarge the icon it will be a mess so much damn pixelated pic, u can make a vectores one like a base then make both jpg or w/e u will use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana7 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I would love to do that, but I suck at "real" pixel art - I usually just convert 3d models to 2d images and edit them in Imageprograms. I can still create a the icons though - when do you need them done ? Edited July 22, 2017 by Nana7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter because the images are small, and the idea is pixel art so when I enlarge them I just make the "lines" wider and it still look fine without blurring. 3 hours ago, Nana7 said: I would love to do that, but I suck at "real" pixel art - I usually just convert 3d models to 2d images and edit them in Imageprograms. I can still create a the icons though - when do you need them done ? I see, you can give it a shot (as long as you think it would work, wouldn't like to have you do something in vain). Also it's not like "I need them before x date", I will probably be a few weeks coding stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana7 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I have a few examples here, but thats the closest i can get to "Pixel-Art". I made them in 2 sizes, they should be downscaleable too. I can add more later... but for now I want to see if they have the Art-Style you are looking for.

I got the idea of the boxes from this picture, I guess it was my bad for not posting it I do like yours but I don't think is as close as it can be to what I am looking for.... If you could turn your boxes a little bit like the position this pic has and show more of the side with details rather than the face with not that many details it would be a bit better. I think the problem with those you made, is that the details are too fine and when making a small icon, they get lost. In the sample, you can see just a few details but you can kinda distinguish them when the image is super small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana7 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I dont think I can do much better, because I only fake pixel Art by running Pixel-Filters over my 3d Model-Images. Maybe these 2 are better ? Edited September 10, 2017 by Nana7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soly Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ahh I see. Either way, I think those last 2 look better. I guess I can use those. Do you think you could make an orange box too? I recently completed the PMT Editor which will use an orange box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana7 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sure, I can make an orange box too. what about the other Icons ? I can still make a few icons, like mag or monster, for the other Programs, a basic example picture would help for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soly Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 I guess those can wait for a while, I haven't even started coding them anyway. I have a mag icon that cyane made before, but I might want to use that in the launcher. After all, I don't know if I'll code a ME Editor (the mag one) because the file is not modified often and its easy to edit by hand. The database manager will be the last one I will code and have no idea what I want for it as well as the Item Maker I just downloaded and made the icons for green and red box Here is how it looks in the PT Editor The RT Editor I haven't started coding it yet so that one will have to wait.
