Short: Jaybee's home-made NewIcons for HD-installed games [PREVIEW] Author: James Maurice Battle (jaybee@aiab.freeserve.co.uk) Uploader: James Maurice Battle (jaybee aiab freeserve co uk) Type: pix/nicon Architecture: generic Jaybee's HD-Game NewIcons - 25/05/99 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi there peeps! James here, bringing you a collection of home-made newicons for JST/WHDload HD-installed games, to be used for "whatever you want". Yup, I was pretty surprised no-one had actually put together an archive of newicons like this...well someone probably has....but...oh well...either way they werent very good. Anyway, heres some information that I cant be bothered to put into a nicely written paragraph: * All the icons were created by me - so if you use them in anthing,just mention my name or something. ;) * The icons are mainly from titlescreen grabs or gameboxes from Buzz's great site - Exotica. (http://exotica.amigascne.org - i think....) * The icons are usually 93 pixels wide or tall (ie: they're big). * The icons have been created for a light background, and transparency used wherever possible (some are just "button style") - I have included a small BG pic (cream.jpg) as an example. This basically means the anti-aliasing will look crap on most Babylon-5 backgrounds (oh yes.... that is all part of being an Amiga owner....[shudder]...) * The icons should have the correct default tool, so you ought to just be able to copy them over - if not use Iconizer or something. * The icons have been saved in the "single" format, meaning there is only one image tag (eg: no IM2= ) Basically, this makes them load faster, and halves the filesize. Do we really need to know if we've clicked an icon anyway? * The icons have no "classic" image, meaning you'll only see a white dot if you dont have newicons running - but every does, right? Again, this saves on loading and diskspace. * Several classic, and some not-so-classic games are catered for - if you want an icon made, just let me know first, send me the game (hd-install) and I'll be happy to help out ;) ....sorry about that, but I really couldnt be bothered putting sentances together, you know how I mean? All of these icon were taken from my AmigaInABox archives. AmigaInABox is a collection of packages for UAE users (including myself) to see what a real Amiga can be like. Check out: http://www.emuunlim.com/aiab In case you didn't know, everything in this archive has been created in WinUAE - thats right, I dont actually own a real Amiga, yet seem to spend more time on "the Amiga" than "the PC" - ironic huh?..... Anyway, thats about it really - if youve got any comments about these icons or just wanna "flame" me for using WinUAE you can email me below. Cya! James Maurice Battle - jaybee@aiab.freeserve.co.uk
