View Full Version : Shogun-we/mi icons
Kraellin
08-11-2002, 00:23
first off, as far as i know, these are copywrited by dreamtime interactive. if not by them, then certainly by creative assembly. and even though i've altered a few of these, the copywrites are still theirs. please handle accordingly. these all came from original we/mi files, though, like i say, a few have been altered a bit.
the icons should all be suitable for custom or standard icons within the .org. a bit late, i know, with mtw coming out and all, but nevertheless, here they are.

i think i'll test these a few at a time and make sure they come out ok, so you may see a whole bunch of edits on this one.
one other caveat; i forget what format the .org requires for these. these are in paint shop pro image format, so they might have to be converted.
edit: hmm, that's odd. .org cant display .psp images?
edit: ok, converted the images to .bmp. let's try this again.

They look excellent I must say.
Still, I do believe we are hoping to make the switch to MTW icons asap.

Am I missing something? You have edited your post Kraellin have you removed the example icons? Or are they posted elsewhere?
Secondly I know I'm a newbie but if you require help with any image creation, modification what ever is needed I use many modelling and graphics packages as part of my job
Just let me know I would love to help.

um, no; the icons are all there and showing up nicely. you may be lagging or maybe your browser doesnt show them? i'm using internet explorer. they show fine for me.
as for helping out, best person to contact for .org icons would prolly be kuma. i'm fairly sure they're going to want some medieval style icons for swapping the .org icons over to, or in addition to, the current shogun style ones. and if yer really good, you might try the guys at CA.

Thanks Kraellin something made me think you were displaying the new icons for MTW. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/redface.gif
CA no! Too many years invested in my present job and they would want me to take a pay cut but it would be fun working for a games company.
I will get in touch with Kuma as I have some ideas about source images for the icons etc.

Konniwacha Kraellin san,
The format used is GIF and the size must be 50X50.
Mithandrir san has already sent me some icons he worked on to me by E-mail. If you so desire you are more than welcome to send me your work.
The whole icon policy at the Org will be discussed by staff members and openly discussed in the focus forum before i take any decision regarding new Icon policy.
Hopefully, if all goes well everything will be in place before MTW release.
Here are the three main things i want to put in place before the game is released:
1. Icon\post count policy and application of the policy.
2. How to help, better integrate new Org forum users and application of the consensus if any(the first focus forum discussion that we will have, if all goes well the focus forum will open this sunday or monday)
3. Getting telefragged to give us permission to up our maximum post limit or prepare\discuss what will be done if they say no.

OK Kraellin, i have checked them out, they are all 51X51, no big thing i can fix that and i can put them in GIF format.
Some of them we already have in our library as generic icons or as a personal icon to some user.

hi kuma
yeah, not sure how they all got to be 51x51...must have been during the batch conversion from .psp to .bmp.
.gif eh? ok.
yeah, some of them are very similar to existing icons. they were all taken from the same files. you may find these a bit sharper or easier to see. they've been enhanced just a bit and arent just crops of the original files.
feel free to use as you wish. i was mostly just fooling around and got interested in doing this. in fact, it's just a sidetrack i took while working on something else.
i also looked around for some medieval type pictures i could rob for icons, but whereas i found some, i'm not sure i would be comfortable in using them, since they come from different games, with different copyright (copywrite? nah, copyright seems right) holders. i'll look around some more.
and just as a note on the upcoming discussion about personal icons. i always liked having them here. hope they can be done again.

i went thru the mtw demo folders, but all i found there were the full body sprite type pictures, and i was more interested in the tighter head shots, of which i found none. if ya run across any let me know.

ok, here's a couple new ones. i believe these are from the game 'Cossacks', so they may not be suitable for use here...not sure how the copyrights work on this stuff for non-profit use.

Um well there was a link in the mtw forum about new images for mtw. Although not really face shots.
Try looking at .com MTW area and choosing "the Game" from Info header. Few face shots in there I think.
not a great deal yet.

The guy who made the other one was I think part of the CA team who built extra things on the side just for the game STW.
