Making easy icon recolorings for you

[ZIR]

Hello everybody,
I thought that it would be nice of me to help you to recolor icons for your maps.
I can only do recolors and no really, I know it's not much but maybe it helps the ones who don't have programs for this or who don't have any joy to do that.
When you need something just say the base icon i should use and like what it should look.
Here are some examples of what i can do.
This:

to this:

Or this:

[Newominus]

Try making a Skeleton Warrior icon into a Gold Skeleton Warrior and if its not any trouble could you do any other skeleton icons too?

Edit: Like Skeletal Archers .... Pretty much anything that is a skeleton but can't talk properly.
Edit: Yeah just convert them.

 

[ZIR]

Something like this if its good enough i could convert in blp.
And what do you mean with any other skeletons?
€ sorry that i didn't answered you i was away the last 6 hours here are the buttons and the archer will follow soon
€€ Here is the Archer should i also recolor the armor or it is okay right now?

 

[takakenji]

can i have a recolor for a blood elf lieutenant on the FOOTMAN?

that means with NO helmet wings, so i want it on the footman with a blood-elf lieutenant helmet just without the wings so use the normal footman icon

 

[ZIR]

I don't know exactly what you mean as i understand you want something like this for male footman or what?

[supertoinkz]

he said make the footman icon looks like the blood elven lieutenant

 

[ZIR]

but i don't know what he means with saying that should the footman have the same colours like the bloodelf lieutnant or should he have the helmet of the blood elf lieutnant?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Simple, just change footman's colour on his helmet from gray to red.

 

[ZIR]

Something like this?

 

[Newominus]

Thanks for the images, I now know how to make my own now after meddling with some programs for a while. +rep

 

[takakenji]

Something like this?

perfect!

thanks alot

 

[SILLYbear]

how do you recolor images?

 

[Newominus]

You use programs to do that, cheap way is to use paint T_T

 

[karland90]

cheap and good way is to use GIMP

 

[Newominus]

cheap and good way is to use GIMP

I bet thats what ZIR uses... (thats what I also use)

 

[takakenji]

what tools in gimp do you use to recolor?

 

[ZIR]

Hm,
i don't know i use photoshop not gimp

 

[karland90]

what tools in gimp do you use to recolor?

i use all kinds of random things from /color section. which ever fits each purpose best.

 

[Newominus]

Why are you using photoshop instead of gimp?

 

[Scythy Dervish]

because photoshop is much better than gimp ^^

 

[ZIR]

I don't know GIMP I never used it.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Photoshop has Hue/Saturation and Adjust Color Balance for changing colours.

Free Paint.net have those too Damn i love that program

 

[Crazy Cow]

Would it be possible for you to recolor skins, too? I would do it myself, but I don't have Photoshop or Gimp.

 

[ZIR]

It's depending on what you need. Somethin like change the seal of a skin to green so that it looks more orcish or somethink like this I can do. But I'am at the moment very bad in painting some arour and other things.

 

[Crazy Cow]

Crazy Cow reads his long, long wish list
Well, I would like recolors of the hydra, dragon and shade skins so they are all white (to make color tinting in Warcraft more believable). If you know of any free programs I can use for recolors, that would also be appreciated.

 

[Newominus]

If you know of any free programs I can use for recolors, that would also be appreciated.

What about Gimp? I used it to make my avatar look more GOLDEN

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

^Newominus, your avatar is better. But there are people who have no clue doing that, so I guess this thread is for them...

Photoshop has Hue/Saturation and Adjust Color Balance for changing colours.

And so does Gimp.

 

[Adiktuz]

Hm,
i don't know i use photoshop not gimp

how do you recolor specific parts of an image using photoshop? (I have CS3)... thanks!

 

[Kuhneghetz]

One word, Lasso Tools.

 

[Adiktuz]

One word, Lasso Tools.

Thanks!

 

[takakenji]

i have another request

can you recolor an orb of fire to yellow so it's like an "orb of light"?

 

[ZIR]

Something like this or what do you mean with fireorb?
€:k now with the OrbofFire

 

[Scythy Dervish]

I thing he means the Item OrbOfFire^^

 

[ZIR]

bump

 

[Tiche3]

ZIR don't worry, i think i'll do ask you for something, but i'm currently working on lag prevention, so the heroes creation is on hold.

[PaladinHeart]

Maybe you could recolor two things for me?
First, the hidden icon: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBronzeBowlFull.blp
And the skin for the cauldron with heads in it.

Basically I'd like the blue to be a dark red instead, like the color of tomato or vegetable soup.

I'm using the one from hive workshop that has the heads removed but it looks more like a bowl of medicine than soup.

 

[karland90]

you could have posted an image too, just in case

 

[PaladinHeart]

Oh. I did not notice anyone else posting images. Special rule just for me? xP

I think I need only that little round green spludge recolored.

 

[ZIR]

For the tomato soap, maybe this?
And i don't really know what i should do witht he skin you posted.

 

[PaladinHeart]

See the female night elf's head? There's a round green thing below her face. If you could recolor only that round green thing to red, that would work nicely.

Also, thanks for the icons!

 

[ZIR]

Can yous ay the path of the skin?

 

[PaladinHeart]

Textures/LordSNatural.BLP

 

[ZIR]

Well here it is, bur it is very blurry because it was very small on the texture so i had to make it bigger.
Maybe it is good enough.

 

[PaladinHeart]

Oops. I think you misunderstood me, but maybe I can copy/paste that onto the old skin.

Thanks, I used it to make what I needed.
