A few scratches I was putting together

[hepster]

Ok, so here is the compilation of new static units that may be useful for the new E40/P40 games.  There are also a couple new drawings that aren't necessarily for any specific mod. but the icons may come in handy to update the look of existing games.  For the units that are new creations I have included a small description of how I think they would be used providing the coding could be done to allow them to function as described.

i like them,
but can you clean them up a bit? particularly the aliasing / jagged edges...
if you need more space, don't be afraid to go all the way to 55x55, so long as not all of it is used (should have a lot of transparent areas)

[hepster]

I'll see what I can do.  But I'm working with the basic paint program so I can't guarantee my results will be award winning.  I will try to soften them up a bit.

[nolesfan1]

these look awesome man! I really like the new style and thanks for the effort and hard work. Like Veq said a little cleaning up and they should be ready for the big time (a map ;) )

[junk2drive]

If you can use Windows Paint, you can use Paint.net

It has a button to turn on/off AA.

It is free and well supported.

Nice work.

[hepster]

Cool thanks for the suggestion.  I'll take a look at it and see if I can clean them up.  
Glad you like them.  

[Toronado3800]

Those rock.

[hepster]

Wow what a improved tool!  Paint.net is just a wee bit better to work with.

Now I just have to learn how to use it!

[hepster]

Ok I dabbled a bit and here is what I managed to do.  Take a look at this and tell me what you think.

I changed the marine from a standing to a kneeling position.  Makes for more differentiation from regular inf.


     Old





      New

Though now I don't understand why the background is black?  Any one know?

[junk2drive]

You need to make the background transparent. That is why I told you about Paint.net

You can't do it with png or dds with Paint. Open the file with Paint.net. Use the magic wand tool and click the black areas. Click the cut button (scissors picture or dropdown menu edit). Make sure you get around the arms too. Magnify if necessary.

Then Save as... to png and allow it to auto adjust unless someone here has a specific setting.

[junk2drive]

Here is is with tolerance set at 30%. Setting it higher or lower determines how much of the original gets selected to cut. Play with the setting until you get what you want.

I loaded the image from the PNG file from the units folder using paint.net and the background is transparent.  When I view the image with picture viewer it looks as it should.  But when I insert the image into the message the background appears black.

 

[junk2drive]

I don't know. If I view my image and your 2 images in a tab on my browser, your top one and mine have no background. Your black one is black here, all alone on a tab, or in Paint.net.

When you say transparent in Paint.net you mean the checkerboard pattern?

[hepster]

Yup

[junk2drive]

Here is mine

[hepster]

There it is.  I have no idea how it came out right this time though.

[junk2drive]

Good. You should be well on your way to making lots of things.

[hepster]

Already on my way!  Just created a couple of other units that I've been dreaming of.



Escort Carrier




Frigate



Thanks for your help!  This is a new tool I shall put to good use.

[hepster]

Ok so I'm totally a kid in a candy shop now.

Here is the first re-draft of two of the pic's that started this thread.

           

There you go , the re-done airfield & Large or Advanced Factory.

[hepster]

And another addition.
