Hacking Custom Icons for AKAIO

[IOwnAndPwnU]

OKAY. I understand now. I would test it out right now but I'm not at home at the moment.

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

I made a few based on the windows ones:

right click and save as if you need to

I added icons in the /aio/icons folder but no luck. I saved as txt.bmp etc.
What did I do wrong? I clicked on the link by the way, not right click.

 

[Joey90]

I'm not sure...

Do you still see the question mark, or does it look like a corrupted texture...

(obviously you need some .txt files to test with...)

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

It's just a blank image. Like see through. Before, there was some image but now there is none.

 

[VatoLoco]

Joey90, your icon is 24bit, it needs to be 16bit,

so it doesnt show up on the AK.

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

Joey90, can you fix it please. Use the tool VatoLoco does. (Top of Page =T.O.P.

)

 

[Joey90]

Hm.

Stupid Imageshack reformatted them.

The ones my end are 15-bit, and work perfectly.

I'll try a rapidshare link :| (coming soon)

If you need to convert Icons to 15 bit, both The GIMP and Photoshop have options to do so in the advanced sections of their respective save BMP dialogs. It's the one that reads "1X 5R 5G 5B" or similar under 16-bit.

If you don't have either, get The GIMP from one of the links below, or from your package manager.

I might try it out. When I feel like it.

Thanks for the links.
I'm sure this will work better for me than my ghetto method of converting

Edit: WOW! Just got it installed, and GIMP is a niiice app!

 

[Bergunzo]

Where do I have to put these icons? /aio/icons/ , right?

 

[VatoLoco]

For my homebrew icons at post 1(quake,quake2, NeoGeo, ..etc):

to us these, rename the .bmp to correspond with your .nds file
and place both files in the same directory...these dont go in the icon folder

Extension icons(txt, dpg, avi, ..etc) go in '__aio/icons'

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

I've tried to do it myself but no FRICKING LUCK!

What I did was save this picture:

I downloaded this program:
http://www.brothersoft.com/icon-master-24517.html

I also tried GIMP but I had no idea what the hell I was doing so I forgot about that. I have Photoshop CS but I don't know how to use it.

I still keep getting that no icon in the place. I've named it as txt.bmp just like you said.

Joey90, please UPLOAD. I've wasted an hour trying to do it myself. Also, can you tell me what program you used?

 

[VatoLoco]

extension icon pack for Acekard.

Include are icons for: avi, bmp, cc, dsm, ini, jpeg, jpg, mp3, ogg, png, rar, txt, zip, wav, xml, gif.

to use these, place them in the 'icons' folder of your Acekard


These were not made by me. Credit goes to bbdvd, and nin187.

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

Thanks alot!
But what program was used to create/convert these icons? Just wanted to know.

 

[Joey90]

Sorry, I was getting them right off my card to make sure I got the correctly formatted ones - I have some others that didn't work correctly.

As for the program I used, I downloaded something called AhaView... which has 15-bit as an output setting.

Hope that works!

I like your .txt icon better than the one in the other file because it's like Windows. Will download it soon.
