icons from blood and magic

[andreasaspenberg]

i am working on a map based on a game named blood and magic. i already have a person that is working on models. though i still need icons.

 

[waveseeker]

I have an icon request thread, maybe you didn't see it, But i can help you out. what do you need?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the first icons i want is for the basal golem as well as the obelisk. if you dont know what they look like, there is a demo of blood and magic that contains every normal icon in the game.

 

[Ramza]

Or how about you take some screenshots of those icons, and post them here? It seems a bit lazy to request icons, but then don't even explain/show to others what the icons should look like.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

my pc cant take screen shots. if it could i would have taken screen shots though.

 

[chilla_killa]

My can't it? FTW?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the reason my pc cant take screens shots is a mystery but, i once tried to take screen shots without anything happening. here is some screen shots that i found online.

 

[waveseeker]

Uh.. Are one of those the "basal golem as well as the obelisk"? I think i'mma aim for googles help xD

Heres some pics i found. any of these the golem or obelisk?


(with screenshots, have you tried taking a screen shot out of game? In some games, (such as morrowind) the screen shots are in a morrowind file, Now, if you take a shot out of all games, of lets say... This website, the image with be able to Paste on to Gimp, or Paint, or photoshop, or whatever you want.)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

they are of other units. i will however post more screenshots when i find them. i have to find them since i cant create them myself. i will edit them in once i find them.

 

[waveseeker]

What about these?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

thats a lot of blood and magic icons. the basal golem and the obelisk is missing though.

 

[waveseeker]

What luck. (Two posts up, i edited my post about screenshots, did you happen to see it?)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the icons that is in your post before the last post is from blood and magic. they do however lack the basal golem and the obelisk. i will update this post with screen shots if i find them. this screen shot shows the basal golem icon. i havent found the obelisk icon yet but i am still on it.

 

[waveseeker]

Okay, so (still noob here) How do i make icons for download? xD

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont know. you might be able to find it out somewhere on the website though.

[waveseeker]

well, i have the original, into a W3 icon, then i did a remake of it, in the same pose, i can also make a whole new pose, like him standing on a rock or something... if you want

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i still need icons for the other units. thank you for your work by the way.

[andreasaspenberg]

please work on the icons for the other units while i find a screen shot of the obelisk. i need them as well. i finally found a screen shot of the obelisk.

 

[waveseeker]

Here you go. If you want something else, Just let me know ;]

Top one is screenshot in Icon form, and the lower one is half hand drawn hand half Modified (i made the background with editations.)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

thank you. please create icons of the other units. you posted a screen shot with most units on the first page. the units i currently have in the map is: the ghoul, the gargoyle, the wraith, the cleric, the paladin, the stone golem, the druid and the griffin. if there is any you dont understand what are please tell me.

 

[waveseeker]

Uhh, I have never played this game, so just tell me what ones TO make, (open paint and cover the ones you have in red or black or something...)


Also, Do you want the drawn ones or the VERY fast screen shot ones? i never got any feed back on that.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i cant use paint because that covers the icons completely in text. i can however tell which unit is which. the cleric, the druid and the gargoyle is on the top row of icons. on the first row of icons, the cleric is number 3 from the left. the druid is number 4 while the gargoyle is number 6. on the second row, the ghoul is number 1, the griffin is number 4 while the paladin is number 6. on the third row the stone golem is number 5. the wraith is number 4 from the left on the 4 row. i want the icons to look like in the real blood and magic.

 

[waveseeker]

Okay. i'll get them to you soon. My guess, mid day tommorow?

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Okay, so (still noob here) How do i make icons for download? xD

Resize what you made as 64x64 BMP/TGA/PNG and use http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-3-image-renamer-62973/ tool to create borders that is BTN DISBTN PASBTN or any of them.

When the program borders them and makes BTN/DISBTN you need War3 viewer to convert the bordered images to blp. Name them BTN(name).blp and DISBTN(name).blp, import in a map using the manager and set paths:

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN...Name...blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTN,,,blp

you are too late imtor. waveseeker have already completed several icons. i am gratefull to waveseeker for the job done so far as well as future icon work.

 

[waveseeker]

you are too late imtor. waveseeker have already completed several icons. i am gratefull to waveseeker for the job done so far as well as future icon work.

Yeahhh, Real life just caught up with me. I just realized Halloween is the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow i have to the Rally to Restore Sanity. so, day after is my target, i can work some on the inbetweens, But if you want to follow imtors advice, and make them on your own. feel free, (just let me know what ones you still need done.)

Sorry!

 

[waveseeker]

They are done! Here you go, (if you like my work, Don't be afraid to throw some rep out )

Also, let me know if i am missing anything

 

[andreasaspenberg]

you are still lacking the ghoul. i am patient enough to wait for you to complete the remaining icons. thank you for your work so far. please upload them zipped in the future. what remains is the rest of the icons. dont worry about naming them, i will figure out which is which myself. some of the icons should have inactive versions though. though i cant provide screen shots. the icons that dont need inactive versions is: the basal golem, the obelisk, the warrior, the druid, the zombie, the cleric and the wizard. please play the demo to get the inactive icons. though you will most likely need to get dosbox for that.(dosbox is free.) if there is anything i can ever help you with just ask. i owe you big time for the work you have done for me.(also for the work you will do.)

 

[waveseeker]

Sorry, it seems the "ghoul" is under Goblin. and i am not sure how to upload them zipped, sorry.

Also, i cant download anything on this computer, Seeing as i don't own it. I am also just a kid.

you sure you cant do screenshots?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

you could ask the owner of the computer for permission to install the blood and magic demo as well as dosbox. the reason i cant give you screen shots is that i cant find them. i also have to use dosbox to play blood and magic.(something that prevents me from creating screen shots from it.) the regular unit icons are already in this as a collection of icons that you uploaded. (as a screen shot of icons.) as for zipped files, you can download winzip if you get permission.(if you use windows that is.) if you are unable to play the game to gather information, i will have to create screen shots myself on a pc with windows xp. either way, there is a way to solve the problem.

 

[waveseeker]

well, i asked, and i cant install it. Sorry. family is pretty tight. so, you would have to. sorry...

 

[andreasaspenberg]

ok i will find some way to get screen shots of the inactive icons and the buildings. please finish those whose pictures are uploaded in this topic while you wait. please accept my friend invitation as well. i dont know how blood and magic can take screen shots. if you are able to find out how, i will take screen shots though. but at the moment i dont know how. the windows method is unsupported by blood and magic. i found screen shots of the building and blood forge icons in the games manual. the colors of the buildings are: background(teal or something) the medal part is gold while the gems on the sides of the medal is blue. as for the blood forge: the basal golems clothes are gray while the skin is the same as the player color. the cave behind the basal golem is brown. the inactive icons are grayed out versions of the others. i hope that helps.

 

[waveseeker]

Uh, i am confused with the picture you linked,

(also, I noticed you gave me "+10" rep, It doesn't work if you type that, thats just a message, you just gave me one, i THINK you just give the rep 10 times, but i haven't ever done that really, So don't quote me on that.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the icons of the buildings are at the top. they are, from left to right: arbor lodge, barracks, crypt, rune stone and temple. under that there is a screen shot of the blood forge taken from the manual. please use the color information in the previous post.

 

[waveseeker]

Alright, so based off of your description. This is what i have made.

hows that?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

you did a few mistakes. you got some of the background color on the medal part. the color of the background is also a bit too bright while the color on the gems is a bit dark. dont worry. i have faith in your ability to get things right.

 

[waveseeker]

Well, I was just basing off of your description. in editing things like this, I need to have as much details as possible.
so, the list is.

Gold Metal things along with the back round Square. (is the bottom of it too short? of the background thing)

Light blue Gems.

Darker teal for the general background.

Anything else?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the medal part is all gold.(except det gems which are blue.)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am uploading screen shots of the other icons in color.
