Sectoid Scientist Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Can someone please upload or point me in the direction of the icon file with the alien hand (GillMan or Aquatoid?), like the box art. Doesn't the DOS version use that?. Edited October 23, 2011 by Sectoid Scientist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fomka Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can someone please upload or point me in the direction of the icon file with the alien hand (GillMan or Aquatoid?), like the box art. Doesn't the DOS version use that?.I've checked my Steam version of X-COM UFO Defense. It is DOS version wrapped in DosBox, there is no icon file there.

Sectoid Scientist Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks for checking Fomka. I'm using the Collector's Edition of both X-COM1 and 2, and they both use the same icon, the blue Sectoid face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrow Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) if you want sectoid blue iconyou can use any icon extractor on your .exeas I did some time ago or ... simpler way ( .exe blue icon only )just give me your e-mail and I will send it to you as attachment .ico ( 16x16 ) size is 1.37kB.bmp ( 32x32 ) 1.37kB.bmp ( 16x16 ) 630 bytes I used GIMP to convert from picture format to .ico filecause it has everything that is needed to do the job( windooze photoshop or similiar programs should work too ) so ... in theoryyou could take a photo of terror box ( from google or do it by yourself )and do the conversion by hand happy GIMPing yarrow Edited October 25, 2011 by yarrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrow Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 well ....I did some quick goole searching ( graphics ) but pictures I found are of poor qualitywhen converted to .ico files ( pictures themselves are good enougch ) that is probably why they used this blue icon instead yarrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sectoid Scientist Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'll download the TFTD demo, I'm pretty sure it uses that icon. If not, I guess I'll just create it myself. BTW, you can add an attachment to a post, so there's no need to send an e-mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sectoid Scientist Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Thank you Yarrow, but I'm already using that icon. I wanted the TFTD icon from the original DOS version with the alien hand.

Sectoid Scientist Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Much appreciated Yarrow, but I created the icon with Irfanview. I was hoping someone had the icon without the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
