This may be somewhere else, but I either havent found it, or I dont understand the correct word combination to explain it. Basically I want to make a button(icon) for a prisoner (male) and the unit exists but the icon doesnt. So, I want to export the image of the unit into gimp or ps, then edit it to be a dds and import as a icon. Any one have an idea?



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Make a map with the unit, make a screenshot of it (in editor or ingame), paste it into gimp, polish things and make it fit to the button size, add alpha channel, modify that, save as dds with gimp plugin, import into your map, use it...

If you can't edit the alpha channel, save & reload the picture as a .dds file.

So basically the answer is "use screenshot".

Wow.. All my thinking of difficult and experience-needed ways.. And never a thought at just takin a screenshot..

[edit] Hey While I'm at it, I want to use the unit icon for the critters as buttons. But I can't seem to find where to make it available in the list of button choices..

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
