Pipboy Icons

Hi there,

 

i really need some help to create some custom pipboy icons i.e. new perks

but actually i don't know how to do it. i would like to create some new icons and also do some changes on existing ones.

 

can someone tell me which tools are necessary? and whats to best way to do it?

 

what i did already

 

extracted all the resources files to get access to the dds files

 

installed tools:

gimp 2.6.7 + dds/normalmap plugins from http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/

photoshop cs + nvidia dds plugin

dds converter 2.1

 

If i open in Photoshop some of the dds files (especially those with DXT5 compression) there

are just "white"! In Gimp there looking fine! (OS: WinXP 32bit)

 

If someone could write me a short how-to how can i create custom dds files ...

 

i'm just learning how to use gimp/photoshop :-)

 

thanks a lot!

if you open them in photoshop, then click on the "channels" menu instead of layers, youll see that the images are stored in the alpha channel for icons. so just switch to the alpha channel, edit your icon, then save as a dxt5 again.

 

hope that helps, if you want me to be more specific about parts, let me know

 

cheers,

neunen
