Button Manager v1.8.2

[Immolation]

Pretty good tool, but I give only a 3/5 because it doesn't make disabled autocast icons. Sorry, but that's a big bug

 

[Aegis Runestone]

That's really awesome! Cool stuff!

 

[saphiree]

You mean it doesent take an icon which already has autocast and then remove it?
The answer would be that where the yellow things are in the corners you would just make it black, as the tool doesent know how the rest of the icon looks.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Hmm, no, I think he means that program creates icon with DISBTN prefix instead of DISATC. But the image itself is surely correct, just wrong name prefix...

For single icons, I'd recommend to just copy and rename DISBTN<icon name>.blp to DISATC<icon name>.blp, it's not so hard to do.

For multiple icons, there are few steps to make it work:
1. Copy ..\Button Manager v1.7\standard\bm_DISBTN.bmp to ..\Button Manager v1.7\custom\bm_DISATC.bmp
2. Open Button Manager.
3. Go to "Tools" => "Settings..." => "Image" tab.
4. Select "bm_DISATC.bmp" in "Border name" list.
5. Write "DISATC" in "Border prefix" field.
6. Write "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\" in "Import path" field.
7. Set "Shading Amplifier" to 120%.
8. Press OK.
Now, when you'll want to make multiple icons with Icon Wizard, just additionally select bm_DISATC.bmp.

Sorry for inconvenience. Hope this would help.

you could also update the tool XD If you dont want to, then ofc dont do it

 

[Shadow Daemon]

I prefer essential updates. I have a tiny bunch of features to realize in the new version, so I'll put this in my to-do queue. Next version would be released in summer, I think. Also, I have more important project in the progress, which is called "BLP Lab".

 

[saphiree]

Sounds intresting ^^

 

[AbstractCreativity]

This tool is INSANE!! (In a good way)
Matched by no other borderizer... Good work dude

 

[Anachron]

Hey, I've made the german language file:
View attachment bm_german.zip
Unzip, Copy and paste into the button manager root folder
and chose the language under Settings - General - Language.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

@Anachron

I've requested friend to check this file for correct translation and he made some minor fixes. Anyway, it will be added to the new version of this program. Thanks.

 

[Anachron]

No Problem. Good that you allowed the user to use its own language. Nice editor btw.
Using it more and more.

 

[Hashjie]

[xDsss]

Very useful and easy to use.

 

[achoron4ever]

[sF.ThisIsGay]

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Awesome tool!

 

[DrStyles]

Thx shadow daemon, idk where the hell my winrar (Turns out i had the shortcut but not the exe) Im surprised i haven't seen a diff program like this. It's good, but not epic. Very Useful.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

*.RAR file can be opened with WinRAR or 7-zip archiver (use google to search it).

 

[Anachron]

Shadow_Daemon, where is the german language file I made?
I thought you would add it, but you don't?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

I wrote a while ago:

Anyway, it will be added to the new version of this program.

Don't worry, I shall not forget about that.

New version will come out in August or September (I hope so). What would be implemented in the new version:
- Automatic quality choose for each icon (depending on icon's colour count)


- Automatic folder creating (specified for each border)
// e.g.: all passive buttons will be placed in "C:\Icons\PAS\" if you'll specify "\PAS\PAS$name$" in border properties for passive border

- New language modules
// I have german only atm

- New custom borders
// Don't know, would be they so useful...

- Disabled Autocast
// blah, it is the feature, which absence forced some user to mark this on 4 :\

 

[krisserz]

What will be new?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

See my post above.

 

[xp3r009]

I've got to say, very useful tool and it can easily implement into icons, with BLP conversions. This is obviously a simple use tool which can be used for mapping.

Rating: 5/5 (I've tried it heaps of times, nice work. Even tried it during my private mapping)

 

[Starquizer]

My McAfee always detect a trojan on the exe file.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

McAfee recognizes almost every EXE packed with UPX as some virus.
This fact kinda hints us that you have very good antivirus.

Well before installing McAfee I tried Button Manager and is very good, simple and clean art I say 10/10 but that anti-virus problem is very bothersome even when I order the anti-virus to restore the file it remove it again.

Damn I was hoping I could use it. But still a good tool (+rep)

 

[Pyroproctos]

I don't know if this tool is the best we could find, but it TOTALLY fits me !

 

[Coinblin]

Hey I downloaded this but whenever I try opening it it asks me what program to open it with. Any help?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

*.rar file can be opened with winrar or 7-zip archiver (use google to search it).

this

 

[Coinblin]

Thanks bro.

 

[Spet]

This is so BOSS!!!
5/5

About this Trojan
Detected: Artemis!B31DFD2A7FC7 (Trojan), Artemis!B31DFD2A7FC7 (Trojan)
Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$EX17.203\ButtonManager v1.7\ButtonManager.exe

Trojans appear as legitimate programs but can damage valuable files, disrupt performance, and allow unauthorized access to your computer.

 

[Tau Empire]

The only reason why it counts as a trojan is because it's probably excecuting a code within another program for the program to work.

Like a parasite, except a computer version.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

If your antivirus detects this program as trojan, you probably have McAfee, Comodo, eSafe or Prevx. They don't know anything about exe-optimization-by-hands and UPX.

Therefore I would advice to download this archive:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/yw1un6/_files/ButtonManager_v1.7.zip
It has non-packed and non-optimized program files, and will not show up any virus warning. I guarantee that. ^_^

How To Use It?It Is A Rar File. How Can I Use It

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Maybe you would try to read recent posts? It's third time, when I got the same question.

*.rar file can be opened with winrar or 7-zip archiver (use google to search it).

Thanks! tired of redownloading it over and over cause of the damn antivirus. Does that mean it sucks?

 

[Aggrius]

Perfect tool!

 

[ShadowhunterX]

This thing fuckin sucks! I opened it and my computer spotted a Trojan!

Failed much? Cause I scanned it, didn't say trojan at all.

Also, tool would not be approved, if it had viruses.

'nuff said.
