[mindstormmaster] Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Micah and I have recently been testing out a new installer for the Xenocide alpha. This is a very large improvement over the previous WinAce self-extractor. We need an icon for the installer though, or else we get stuck with the default Nullsoft icon. If someone could create a basic icon (.ico format) it'd be great.I look forward to seeing some great examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaaish Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I vote that we convert this over to an icon, just use the X in the background. http://www.projectxenocide.com/art/title/12.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 That's pretty close to what I was thinking, a big "X" and that one would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mindstormmaster] Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Just a note to the icon makers, a photoshop plugin can be found at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/Also, if you could make two icons, one for the installer and one for the uninstaller. They have to be the same size (32x32) for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Well, it was getting kind of late, but I thought I'd give a stab at making an icon. Here's is my first masterpiece: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 After some caffeine and a good slap in the face from Deimos, I came up with this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Another idea, courtesy of Deimos: If anybody has a good sectoid head that isn't already used somewhere (copyrighted) we could make a nice icon out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubik Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 (edited) Micah, I'm trying my hand at modeling a sectoid, so if turns out nicely, we could always use that as an icon. EDIT: The head, of course. Edited June 9, 2003 by Cubik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mindstormmaster] Posted June 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 ok, we got a few nice icons, now to pick which one we use as the uninstaller. We need one for both the installer and uninstaller.I like the ones so far! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Funny, I made those other icons from pictures, all the while wishing we had an icon like the pic at the top, and then Vaaish goes and fills in where I had a brain fart. Thanks Vaaish! Here's a variation on it for the uninstaller: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
