uscstaylor Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hey Gents I was hoping someone can tell me if there's a template for the aircraft icons at the bottom of the main screen. I am trying to make new icons to replace the generic ones for the modded aircraft that I have. Here's a screen shot of a couple of icons in my game. The ones circled are a bit larger and I want to shrink them down a bit. If I hold the cursor over it they appear to be the correct size but once I move cursor away then they become larger again..Help help It would be great if someone has done a tutorial on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscstaylor Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hey Skate they are 76X76 but they are all slight larger then the others and once you place the mouse over them then they are the correct size. I saved them to .png files as well. Cant figure this out. I was hoping someone had a tutorial on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 there is no tutorial, it's a simple png w/ transparency the entire image is 76x76. but the actual icon is smaller than the image size. .

uscstaylor Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Skate when you say w/Transparency how do you make that happen. I open up the file and resize it then I save it as a png file. Then once i have it in game and load the game up it shows slightly larger until you place the mouse on it then it shrinks...I really cant see how Im doing this wrong. I mean it should be very simple...one would think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscstaylor Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Well I'm about to give up. I have done this on PSP, Adobe, and Corel. Each and every time I make it at 76x76 as a png. The file is larger then the others and still collapses into the correct size once the cursor is sitting on it. It there another file extension you can us like bmp or tga Edited December 19, 2016 by uscstaylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscstaylor Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Well I was finally able to get it as close to the original as possible. The png image size is actually 86x86 and the picture in the center of the png is 72x72, then save it as a .png file. I used Adobe Photoshop to do them. If any one need any help please send me a pm. Here's a screen now much much better. No more collapsing image icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But: icon.png (No highlights, Just Icon, 86x86 ), Displayed When mod is set as installed (installed = true icon_buy.png (no highlights, no color (black and white), 86x86 ), Displayed when mod is set as installed = false or files are missing icon_select.png (selection highlight, 86x86 ), Displayed when mouse over, icon_active.png (active highlight, 86x86 ), Displayed when clicked icon_select_buy.png (selection highlight, 86x86 ), displayed when installed = false or files missing and mouse over icon_buy_active.png (active selection highlight, 86x86 ), displayed when installed = false or files missing and clicked icon 76x76.png (No Highlights, 76x76 ) displayed in left side of Training Menu Select Dialog icon-38x38.png (No highlights, 38x38 ) displayed in left side of Mission Menu Select Dialog As a usermod that's either installed or not, you will not need the "buy" icons at all.
