Homebrew [Request] 3DS App banner/icon made

Enovale · Aug 26, 2017

So I have been trying for forever to get the Minicraft3DS fork by Andre111 to work in CIA form, which it does, but I can't figure out banner and icon making for the life of me. I got the banner to work, but the icon is glitched and weird. I was hoping someone could build the CIA for me with the banner and icon I want. I have the .CXI file and the images, which I will attach below.

(please inform me if sharing cxi's isn't allowed but i figured since it shouldn't be copyrighted it should be fine.)

(Also tell me if there is problems with the actual cxi itself)

CXI is and the images are here

Let me copy & paste some important info from Reddit that may be helpful for you...

You're going to need to make 2 (actually 3 images), which are the icon and banner files. So open up whatever image editor you use and make your banner (256px wide x 128px tall, transparency supported) and icons (24x24 and 48x48). Remember to save them all in .PNG format. When that's done, name these files the following and place them in these folders in "3DSBannerMaker":

Banner - 256x128.png (goes in cbmd_bannerimage)

Icons - icon.png (the 24x24 file goes in ctpk_24x24icon and the 48x48 file goes in ctpk_48x48icon)

Source

As I can see, your banner is only 97px/15px, not 256px/128px...

i resized everything as it needs to be, and it just turned into a half life 3 image and i couldnt fix it.

EDIT: to clarify, the banner is such size because i was hoping someone could resize it better than i can without it looking blurry. When i actually attempted making the banner i properly sized it

Hmmm, it is strange....Is the compiler up-to-date?

actually reading through it again, I may have missed something, not sure. Let me try one more time.

I swear to god if it works now after like a day of work

Haha. Stuff like that happens, even with 1 misplaced character...

alright im having a lot more success now. One issue still remains. I resized the icon to 24x24 and when I run the py file it says the width and height arent equal, even though ive quadrupel checked that is is exactly 24x24. all the other ones work

~~Count the pixels~~
Seriously though, can you send the image so I can take a look?

Enovale · Aug 26, 2017

there you go

yeah so... whats the issue? Im kinda thinking that there may be an issue with the python script, but im not sure

Enovale · Aug 26, 2017

Nevermind, I figured it out. The python script was wrong as I suspected, I edited it to force the conversion regardless of the size, and it worked! Heck yeah!
