Custom Icons?

revarrggglationrevarrggglation Join Date: 2003-11-08 Member: 22390Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">a few q's</div> alright after being directed away from the customization forums to here, ill copy/paste my post...

alright with the new 4.0 out servers have the ability to include custom icons tagged onto players names (besides the given dev, constie, vet, ect)

with this implimentation I was curious what exactly the icons were made up from
I was hoping to maybe create one and see about getting it integrated for the regulars on a server that I enjoy playing on

so any information on specs, helpful progs, tutorials, or anything else would be appreciated

    Custom icons are still not working, you'll just have to watch the changelogs and hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    OK, found this in one of the old 3.0 changelogs

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Added ability for servers to add custom icons for members (mp_customicon of "AAAARGB" where the custom icon is gfx/vgui/640_AAAA.tga, using color components RGB (each are 0-9).

    So you'd make a 16x16 pixel monochrome tga named for example 640_TEST.tga then set mp_customicon to "TEST009", which would make it blue.

    This plugin is usefull for icons

    Are the custom icons working already or not ?

    btw, where I setup the players who will get the custom icon and who wouldn't? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Because he's a programmer and has probably coded up his own metamod plugin for it.

    Voogru hasn't gotten custom icons working yet.
    Right now he's using the NS Guide icon for donators.

    As far as I know, they're still not working.

    i was under the impression that if you usre custom icons, then normal icons (consti pt vet etc) will stop working?

    i may well be wrong however

    I do know NSarmslab.com has icons for Donators...They arn't custom persay.. as they are the TSA icon, which is developer i think. But it is given to donators. don't know how it works. Go bother Al Gorge for that on their forums :-D

    Voogru is a great programmer..
    he developed NSAdmin, a metamod-plugin that works like amx mod and adminmod - but for NS..
    This program is private... he don't give out the program unless he know the person...

    NSAdmin have a built in feature to give the guide icons for who is a donator - based on a database <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    what's the program to create tga? can I use bmp, jpg, or other type of format? is it suppose to be mp_customicon set to 640_TEST.tga cuz that's the file name for custom icon?

    I just got around to playing with the icons, and it sure helps waypoint descriptions.

    "Pick up equipment at waypoint" so that way when I'm halfway across the map I realize that it's not worth it. Other games I thought we were under attack or something and he wanted us back. Anyway, just thought I would add that this has helped a lot.
