Button Manager v1.8.2

[T3rm1n4tor]

wow! thank you thats perfect!

 

[Paladon]

The new changes are definitely a great touch up of this extremly useful resource.

 

[bigapple90]

Awesome!
This improved Anti-Aliasing makes me even more happy with this amazing tool

 

[Anachron]

Added generation of disabled version of autocast icon.

This should have been made 1 year earlier.

 

[bigapple90]

Don't you mean 2 years?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

In v1.8 the image scaling feature uses Lanczos resampling method. This is by far, the best (in my opinion) and slowest method.

This should have been made 1 year earlier.

Better late, than never, right? =)

Pretty cool. Does this have a create all types of icons with 1 click? Also, are you going to implement a hotkey for Save file ? Maybe "Ctrl + S" for save file and "Shift + Ctrl + S" for save as

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Does this have a create all types of icons with 1 click?

No. I think, it's rather useless, because there are no cases where you need icon with all borders in real map.

Also, are you going to implement a hotkey for Save file ? Maybe "Ctrl + S" for save file and "Shift + Ctrl + S" for save as

Hmm, yes. Hotkey will save a bunch of time. I think I'll bind "Save" to "F2" ("Save as..." will remain bounded to Ctrl + S).
By the way, there are two options for putting border and saving to file automatically (Tools => Settings => General), you can also use it.

Besides, I don't know, what to add/change/fix in the new version (except hotkey for save)

 

[Anachron]

I have made a fast readme in german.

No guarantee for no mistakes, but its in an understandable german and was quite much work to translate.

[bigapple90]

Oh okay

Besides, I don't know, what to add/change/fix in the new version (except hotkey for save)

Ha yea, those two questions were all I could think of

Although that Tools>General only does 1 border. I think having a "all icons" would be useful. When I make an icon I throw up every border except Scorescreen unless its a unit.

 

[WarS1337]

I got a problem.
Whenever I click the in folder, then the out folder, and click create icons it says the formats arent supported or error

 

[blahson256]

Thanks for this program! Now I have a way to convert files without blurring them.

 

[Dragonkeeper]

It can turn any freaking picture into an icon!!!!!!!!!! If some1 submits a model without a button set you just turn their screen shots into buttons!!@!@

 

[MogulKahn]

Where can i find wc3 icons?

 

[Merry]

Having an issue. When I click on a unit that has one of the icons created by the program, the game crashes. Works the same if the icon is a Hero icon on the side of the screen, items, ect ect.

Not sure why this happening since the icons work properly in every other program Ive tried.

That's interesting. Give details as to your wc3 installation and system please.

 

[Merry]

I downloaded it of BNet with my account key code, its on a Mac. I used Button Manager through Crossover, works fine just like any other program.

 

[Kwah]

Try posting here for more help.

hmm, maybe you have low video settings in warcraft?

 

[Merry]

Nope, set at highest. No real idea whats wrong, but the solution Ive found is to run the blp's through WC3Viewer and then they work fine, though I do miss out on the smaller file size...But thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully if anyone else is havin' the problem they can try my quickfix.

 

[SteakedMeat]

It looks awesome and so on, but i can't import images/icons/picture, whatever, into it... little help how?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Maybe, it would sound simple, but have you tried File => Open or CTRL+O?

 

[haxel96]

just a question... it may have been asked before but i didn't check all pages of comments, Do this program convert the icons to .blp too or do u need another program to do it? if id do i will get this.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

According to this:

- Supported file formats: *.bmp, *.jpg, *.tga, *.psd, *.blp, *.png;

it can both open and save BLP files.

Great tool, but does not support xcf (GIMP files...)
4/5, useful.

Hey, this program was not specified to support formats of all popular graphic editors. Is

- Supported file formats: *.bmp, *.jpg, *.tga, *.psd, *.blp, *.png;

really not enough for comfort work?

 

[Herian]

It's just, Photoshop won't work. And converting file formats does not, too; It just gives me an error saying "Incorrect file format" or something else I can't remember exactly.
And about bmp, that means...Using paint... Which will not really make it correctly..As I know, (and I think most Hiver's here do)Paint is the failiest drawing program of the year. >.> Anyways good tool, good job.

No screenshots or/and "bugged" files - no errors , that's obviously.

And about bmp, that means...Using paint...

I don't see the sense in this.
BMP is very simple format, which is supported by every graphic editor (paint, paint.net, photoshop, photo-paint, gimp, etc).

 

[J-Dogg]

yeah man!!!...best program (Y)

 

[Big Dub]

Wow. This tool is so amazingly great I am in shock. This saves me so much time. I used to go in and make each border from a psd file and would have to have three different image sizes in order to make all the icons, but now... This is great! It will likely get more people to create more borders as well.

I do not use screenshots. Or "bugged files"..

WHAT? So BMP supports Gimp? Well then I have a question.
How would I save Gimp files in BMP ? I did try saving as .xcf and rename it to BMP..Not working.

Anyways, changed my mind, this truly deserves 5/5.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

No, I mean if someone posts message about bugs in program, he could provide screen shot of error window or/and file, which threw error in program, or description of all actions made by user. For what? To reproduce bug on developer's computer.

WHAT? So BMP supports Gimp? Well then I have a question.
How would I save Gimp files in BMP ? I did try saving as .xcf and rename it to BMP..Not working.

1. File => Save as...
2. Click "Select File Type (By Extension)"
3. Select "Windows BMP image"
Also, you can save to other formats, like .tga (TarGA image), .png (PNG image). PNG is better due to lossless compression.

 

[Herian]

Thank you so much, Daemon.

 

[War_Golum]

perfect done

 

[Undead0dd]

Q: What's all those BLP settings for?
A: Check butman_readme_eng.txt.

Best answer ever, lol.
Useful program anyways because some ability/item icons dont have an auto-cast icon.

 

[Thing_I]

Wow nice this is useful!! Im using this!! *shh dont tell anyone!*

 

[Svenski]

I use this tool all the time, it's super fast and easy and amazing +10/5.

 

[Arthour]

hm... some icons wont work (they freeze w3), but still awesome work!

 

[Shadow Daemon]

New version (small "update & bug fix" release).

 

[eddyhack]

tnx a lot! very useful program and it works on windows 7 and winXP...gj! 5/5
(suggestion to users; use photoshop effect "Poster Edges" to make real-life picture like a drawing and then make a button with this program)

 

[kommunist]

This is really useful I must say good job

Thanks !

 

[Shadow Daemon]

New version, again with bug fixes.

[rafaelzimrp]

[Zulabar]

Epic tool is epic. Just epic.

 

[TheSpoon]

Great tool, thx!

Suggestion: I don't know if you can can do this, but maybe you could add a slider to change the hue of an icon? That would be useful for quickly-recoloring icons without the need of Photoshop or Gimp
