Graphics: Misc buttons, tools, interface, etc.

Ok, this is the preliminary interfce wth the icons...i can't do better than this for the icons and the mouse pointers (as you can see in the demo of the game, in the interactive part)

I post them anyway here, so you can help with the icons and the other graphic interface

Could you reccomend a program for creating icons? I can't even veiw them with what I have now 😛 You're think photoshop would be able to with all the stuff it can do!
Do you need the objects to be removed from their backgrounds and placed on a uniform background?
Once I am done making all the seperate animations for "Scarlett" I will work on an interface design. I bet CC or TD could do a better job at the interface than I could but I'll give it a shot.
 
honestly i have no idea...i found them on internet ^_^ the other images are taken from pictures; i used a program called "microangelo" or something like this....

the problem of the .ico files is that they are normal bmp files, but inside the file you will find 3 version of the same icon in 3 different sizes and colour schemes (16 colors, 32 colours and 256, in small, medium and big size 😀) , honestly i have no idea, but if you can make .bmp files with 72x72 as size and 256 colours i can use as .ico; the problem came with the animated mouse pointer...i have no idea about how they works 🙁
 
I will do a search for icon creating programs...I know they exsist out there somewhere. 😀
 
I'll try to search for a program, but i don't know wich one is better for you 🙁 that's why is better if you try them to see wich one suit better 😀

Of course i cna search for them and send them to your mail 🙂
 
I'll be able to find my own...but would it be easier for me to just make them in PSD format so you can size them to what you need?
 
You can save them in bmp or in gif or in jpg....try with all of them 😀 because i need to see if the background became transparent or if it remain as a square; i'll try when you can give to me a couple of icons 😀

For the images of the toolbar you can save as you wish, but the size must not be more than 72x72 😀
 
Thanks🙂
I've tried to use it but seems that the background is not transparent, if you can make it transparent we can use it without problems 😀

Thanks!
 
I can make it transparent, I just wanted to make sure this was what you were looking for. I fix it and make some others.
 
...Apparently I can't. None of the editors I have tried seem to allow for the creation of transparent cursors. @&^%(@&#%. Do you want me to make .gifs instead? I KNOW I can make those transparent.
 
The problem is that the mouse cursors can't be gifs...i still did a little bit of tricks to use animated cursors in VB (is a mistery why the VB don't support animated cursors).

At this point i think that we must abandon the idea of the animated cursor 🙁 we will use the standard cursors if is not possible to resolve the transparency problem 🙁

Anyway try to send to me an animated gif and let me see what i can do 😀
 
You want animated cursors but not gifs? So....photoshop files then??
 
Several programs I found SAY they can make transparent animated cursors, yet whenever I try, it turns the formerly transparent parts into the grey you saw in the cursor I uploaded.

...scratch all that I just said. I may have found a way to create what you need. Give me until Thursday and I should have the answer as to whether or not it can be done.

Sadly the .ico and the .ani are very different from the standard gif or psd files...you can't simpluy rename an animated gif as .ico and use it on a cursor...they are quite little different 😀

I can avoid this problem using a gif or a jpg as cursor (as i did in the previous demos, you can see 2 simple icons that are nothing different as normal .gif pictures 😀) but if you want something animated i have 2 ways: use the .ani cursor or use an animated gif with a little trick (the animated gif as i said, can't be used as aimated cursors, but i can load this gif and order to it to follow the cursor, and the cursor can be transparent or invisible, so it will look loke a real animated pointer 😀 but i prefer to avoid this technique because is a very hard thing (not coding, but it took a lot of processor-cycles, so it can slow the application...and we have millions of things that combined toghether can make this game slower as a pentium 133 with windows xp 😀)

To HDS: I hope that you can resolve this problem, or we will be obliged to use the method with the animatedd gifs; in that case i must find a way to speed up and tweak thecode that i did, so we can gain performance that will be lost when we use the animated gifs 😀 is like a big tetris...where all the things must be balanced 😛
 
Using my amazing powers of...who am I kidding, I have nothing amazing. Anywho, I got it to work. Let me know if this will work for you and I shall make more. As with the last, unzip and there will be the .ani cursor.

Cmonnn...is not a secret that you iuse the spiritual energy 😀 (have you seen the saiyuki reload serie?)

I'm downloading now and i;ll try it tomorrow morning 😀 for today my day is finished since i slept 3 hours >_<\


Ok...i can't resist to try it...and it works perfectly!!!!!!!!

Great Job!

I have seen bits and pieces of it (Plus one movie).

It works does it? Good, that much is set. I will get on making the other cursors and icons sometime this week. I would do it tomorrow, but I had to entertain family today and thus lost much working time.
 
honestly the reload serie is nothing so exceptional 😀 i prefer the regular serie 😀 (ps: try to watch orphen or gundam seed...they are amazing 😀)

Don't be so worried about the cursors 😀 if you can find something better of the one that i did i'll be very happy 😀 even the icons in the toolbar needs a little bit of improvement 😛 have a happy sunday 😀 and don;t think about the game, since you ahve guests at home 😀
 
Bah, I've been bad again, neglecting my work. footamateur, I will have the rest of the files you sent me some time ago made into icons and/or cursors TODAY. It may be too late, but I said I'd make them, and I plan on doing them.
 
Don't worry HDS.....you are the last one that i can blame since you enver make promises with me 🙂

I hate the situations when somebody says that will give to me help or will do something for sure and then he will go away saying that has no time or not answering at all 🙁

I accept honest people that says that when they will ahve time they will do something, then ifg i will ahve time i will put their works inside the game 😀 that's all 😉 but many people was thinking that maybe the thing was more easy....sadly i want t make something with quality...not a bunch of drawings to make happy 10% of the people for 10 nminutes 😛

When you can finish them is ok 🙂 don't worry 😉
 
Well, I did get something done today. Animated cursors of a hairbrush, pennello, and standard paintbrush are enclosed in this rar. Also, I included a static cursor of a bottle of massage oil, one of the pictures you included in that folder you sent me some time ago. I was going to make a second cursor for when the action of applying it is activated (Whether you can have the game change cursors like that or not I don't know.), but I couldn't find an empty/half-empty bottle of oil that I could make transparent (Since empty bottles are close to white, photoshop erases them as well with the "smart" eraser.). The only two I had real trouble with were the toothbrush and the hand. With the toothbrush, I could not make it so that you could actually tell it was a toothbrush in the cursor. I simply couldn't find an image that had enough detail to be visible at that size. I'll keep looking. The hand was worse. Because it needs to be animated in a more comples way than the simple brishing motion of my other cursors, I need an already animated hand to convert to a cursor. If one of the artists (Few that they are now.) can whip up a simple animated hand (Make sure that all but the hand is transparent so the cursor will be see-through.) I can easily convert it into a cursor.

I would, HDS, but I have dumb looking hands.
What sort of toothbruch pic do you need? I was playing around with the close-up settings of my camera one day and actually have some HUGE pictures of my toothbrush. 😛
 
Well, thanks HDS ! fastest as the lightning 🙂

Keep in mind that my icvos was only as example....i don't force anybody to use them if they are difficult to use 😛 so you are free to use whatever you think is right in the toolbar 🙂

We need images for the toolbar (static images, the format is not important but keep in mind that the size must be not more than 256x256 pixels), and the animated cursors for the mouse pointr, so if you have something in mnd feel free to add it 😀

Technically teh game will ahve a looooooot of tools that are avilable for the interactive part (some will be available from the beginning, some must be bought in the shops and some are secret items that must be found completing some "quests" or minigames), so i have in mind to unleash the imagination of everybody to make a list of all that is possible to use to tickle 😛

freedom is the first word! the game is changing (in better i hope ^_^), so any suggestion is well appreciated, since we are in 4 right now 🙂 the best stay here after all 😀 and nobody will be more lucky and well rewarded than the one that stay unitil the end 🙂
