Icons

Post by **Grimmie** » November 7th, 2005, 12:41

I am making the icons, and as I cannot see a WEY on X-Fire..
I will be posting them here, shortly.

Ahhhh, what I meant was that there should be existing icons over at http://media.xfire.com/xfire/xf/images/icons/

I just don't know what games you'd like adding, or what the filenames are in order to borrow them (I have permission)

Zing! The requested URL /xfire/xf/images/icons/ was not found on this server.

But it's okay. I've harvested a load from the "Look for installed games" list anyway. I'm just going to shove them into 16x16 boxes and put them on a black background, now.

Yep that's because it's a hidden directory, but you can usually guess the filename, or just search for it on someone's profile etc...

Either way, I'm sure yours will be much better than Xfire's

EDIT :

Warcraft 3

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne

It's the xfire icons I'm using!

Sorry it's taking so long

I grabbed a tonne of icons, for every possible RTS situation and I went with making them transparrent, instead. I think it looks better than covering up a lot of detail with a black background. I also thrashed Joose at generals and had lunch, so that's why it's taking so long.

'Ere's what I've got so far. Lots lots more to come!

With the exception of the last lot, all the games have been added to the 5cheduler.

I'll get round to the others tomorrow.

Thanks Grimmie

Blimey Grimmie! You have been busy.

Starcraft 4TW

EDIT: Also, an alt text with the game name might be useful for us luddites who don't know what games the icons are for.

Also also, see if you can get them across the whole screen Grimmie!

Scary thing is, I have 13 of the 20 listed =|
