Icons and such Created 12 years ago2012-08-20 06:14:26 UTC by Sir Frohman

Alright, I'm trying to create icons for my mod and I don't know how. Sorry if this is covered somewhere in a tutorial here or elsewhere but I don't know who else to ask but you guys.

What I'm asking if how to create an icon such as here;

Sorry if this is confusing, it's 3 in the morning. :S

in your liblist.gam, add a key value pair of "icon" and it's relative path from your mod root.

It must be a 16x16px TGA.

Hope that helps.

oh, and FYI. The icon on your start bar is the icon of the hl.exe executable, and can't be changed. Most people run the game fullscreen and wont see it anyway.

Edit: :S weird... could have sworn I edited, rather than double posting. my bad.

What about the bigger version of the icon next to the mods name.. it just turns out like this; http://gyazo.com/ffa7c6d05ef8d9ba6f03eabe99984285.png?1345449563 (test icon btw)

Forgot to add this in here;

Secondly, how would I change the colors of the UI as shown here;

LASTLY, how do I change the color of the text as shown here;

But that's all for now, thanks!

Goldsrc is limited to the 16x16px icon.
If you want the 32px icons you have to use source, sorry.

to change the menu interface colors requires taking a copy of ClientScheme.res and changing the RGB values for the relevant sections. Then I think you save it as "TrackerScheme.res" in your mod's resource dir.
Effectively, you're running a custom Steam theme within your mod.

It's been a while since i last did it, and I'm at work atm, but if your still stuck later I can have a look in more detail for you.

Oh, thanks. I'll just create the UI thing.
