need lots of ART help i do

[leech13]

1) does anybody have an icon for the tleilaxu living turret (just the color one as paint shop pro makes the pics black and white)

2)i have all of the icons i need, i just dont know how to make them work in the game

ex (in artini)

icon = file//bl_ah!

icongrey = file//grey_bl_ah!

so for my units i do:

icon = ___//ix_apparition

icongrey = ___/greyix_apparition

can someone fill in the blanks and tell me what folder to put the pics in

3)how do you edit the textures for a unit

are they the %/jshATORNITHOPTER files in model0001?

if not, can you tell me how

note: #1 and #2 are most important

#3 is just for future reference

[Frodo]

1) Don't have one, but could make one for you (IM if interested)

2)For example the Atreides Ornithopter it's

Icon     = "iconsAT_Ornithopter.tga

Icon     = "iconsgrey_AT_Ornithopter.tga

3)Will probably post a tutorial about it in the Mod Tutorials thread.

I have one already, but it isn't very good.

Remember that icons have to be 64x64 and 24bit compressed.

Icon

thanks frodo but i think ill just make one myself

another question:

you put artini and rules in "model"

you put textstrings in "strings"

you put icons in "_____"

PLEASE FILL IN THE BLANK

thanks

i hit caps lock by accident but i didnt feel like retyping it ;D

[jacobdouds]

Funny.

Okay.

Icons go in the

3DDATATextures

that would be

C:WestwoodEmperorData3DDATATextures

[vidiware]

Yes

And be sure to save in 24bit!

When they become grey GIMP, makes it only 8/4bit or what greyscale arE?

[jacobdouds]

yes, then you change it to 24 bit.

[leech13]

thanks both

to vidiware

i always save it and it says: please, we need to screw around with the colors before we can save in this format and it becomes 16.7million colors...somehow

also
