Some Icons

[Don Flamenco]

Hi dudes

I got some spare time this afternoon and I made icons for some wiz programs, they are nothing special but I like to share them with all of you, hope you like them, all constructive opinions are welcome:

These are some I made for Prboom (32x32)

These are for Quake 1 and Quake 2 (32x32)

This is for Rise of The Triads (32x32)

This one is for Great Giana Sisters (openggs)(32x32)

This is for Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz)(32x32)

And these for Giana Returns (22x25)

Hope you like them, if you have any sugestions please let me know

P.D: sorry for my bad English

Nice

Excellent job, perhaps other people could post their icons on here. (There's still a lot of games without them!)
I think 22 x 25 is the prefered size.
No problem though I'll just resize them with paint.
I've sussed out to convert 32 x 32 to 22 x 25 the percentages are 68% horizontal and 78% vertical.

It sounds good, we can make an icon thread or something

Mmm, those icons worked well for me at that resolution (32 x 32), there are some significant difference? I'll try next time using that resolution

Thanks for your kind comments

EDIT: I followed your advice Neil L and I made these two for Giana Returns at that resolution

Ooh, there's some on here I haven't got yet!
The one's from the last 2 posts by Tandon (the icon master) are 24 x 24.
I've just resized some of these with paint to 22 x 25. (With the 'image - resize/skew' option)
The percentages are 90% horizontal & 105% vertical.
By the way, how to you post images on here?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'menu that u download', they're used on the Wiz games menu.

Ah i thought the gmenu2x, i have some questions concerning this; a)where can i get these icons
b)so these icons they appear in the menu (top left) where it says wiz games then?

concerning the wiki, im completely lost ive been reading 2 days and nights non stop about how to install emu's now for example this stuff i just dont get it i dont even understand how to install emu's and ive read all the read me's and googled every possible question. I mean i need a dictonary to understand all these words, and my english is pretty good. I'm feeling pretty stupid right now (because i've tried it over and over and no result).

so can u add those on the menu that u download or what els can i do with them?

b)so these icons they appear in the menu (top left) where it says wiz games then?

a) Right click on the icon and "Save Picture As" (Windows) then place them in the correct game's folder
B) You need to have an .ini file for the selected game in the "game" folder on your SD card. I use Notepad on XP to create them. Standard format is -

[info]
name="XXX"
path="/XXX Folder/XXX.gpe"
icon="/XXX Folder/XXX.png"

Where XXX is the name of the game and folder as they appear EXACTLY on your sd card.

So for Instance, my Balloonacy game will appear as -

[info]
name="Balloonacy"
path="/Balloonacy/balloonacy.wiz.gpe"
icon="/Balloonacy/balloonacy.png"

You can use any name in the name$="" part; for instance you can call Pocket SNES "Cool SNES EMU" if you want, but the rest must reflect the actual names of the files.

Hi, thanks 4 reply. So i just type the 3 lines in notepad with the name of emu i use it 4, And then where do i paste it just anywhere in the game folder.

Thanks loads.

 

[iprice]

Yep, paste the image into the chosen emu or game's folder and make sure that the ICON path points to the icon in the game's folder.

And it's 4 lines - you must include the "[info]" bit too (although I've not tried without it). Remember, make sure the names of the files and folders match exactly.

The .ini file should be outside of the emu/game folder, in the "game" folder on your SD card.

Here's the link to all the icons I currently use, I use 25x25 for all of mine, I'm not sure if its the most optimized size but it looks nice on my Wiz so I stuck with it.

Hi,

New to this and haven't received my wiz yet! Well, i received one and the right shoulder button was stuck so had to send it back before i even had a chance to turn it on!!! I know you can feel the pain!!

Love these icons but am i being stupid when i say: do i need the gmenu to have these icons or can i use them straight out of the box? Do they replace the game title in the list or what!

I know i should wait till i've got my wiz and try it out but i'm already gutted i'm still waiting for it to arrive for the second time and want to crack straight on when it arrives!!

Cheers!

There's a guide here: http://www.gp2xwiz.co.uk/wiki/Creating_A_Shortcut_In_The_Wiz_Games_Menu
I usually resize my icons to 22x25 with paint (right click / edit / image / resize/skew)
