Maggz Posted April 13 Posted April 13 (edited) I took it upon myself to update the old tank icon maker program, i created a fork in github with a release for any who is interested. I updated a large part of the program to visual studio 2019 (it was based upon 2012) fixed the long unresolved issue of having an error window for the UK wheeled vehicles armor not being found. updated its dependencies the link to this is in my github to download the latest build simply click on releases and download the zip file. https://github.com/MaggzWOT/TankIconMaker changelog: fixed xmls to find latest gui file changes fixed atlas build size (only changes if you have NOT set custom atlas size) height changes to 5120 fixed event tanks showing up as missing icons (redid the wotBuiltin.csv files) redid a couple small things to try and get some compatibility for font check (this still will not affect bulk build) Edited June 4 by Maggz Updates Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted April 13 Moderator Posted April 13 Hey Maggz Is there any difference, apart from the UK wheeled vehicles error, compared to the updated one here? (ignoring the version used and dependencies) https://koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/33221-tankiconmaker-программа-для-создания-иконок-танков/ Quote
Maggz Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 that is the original version i updated all the code from, This is a currently working with no errors version of that, which was also optimized a bit Quote
Maggz Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 It is open source just like the original with all its code posted on github, just like khulto did with his forked version of it, he just fixed it so that it would load and run, but didnt update anything beyond making it launch even tho it still has the uk wheeled errors, atleast thats what his github code shows. Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted April 13 Administrator Posted April 13 Could you add loggin errors for missing fonts? I asked Kthulo for it, it was never fulfilled. It would be helpful it there is a warning popup in case where a font used in project is missing installed in user systen. In such situation TIM is using default font, and it's hard to notice it, when it happens. Quote
Maggz Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 i will add it to my list of todo items. i really just posted it due to the long wait between fixes for the master project. Once i started to go thru it and i was making code changes, i have modified about 50% of the code in the wotdatalib. the main program i have really only changed a couple items. as i was trying to send the main author pull notifications to them to update theirs from. However if people want additions beyond the scope of the original mod i will add it to my todo list. If i make huge revision changes tho i will try and get the original authors permission. as i do not want to just arbitrarily take over their project. Once i hear back from the original author i will post to let you know they are ok or not ok with me doing those changes. 1 Quote
Maggz Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 so i was doing some testing and is this what you are trying to have happen, that if you set a font that you dont have it puts up an error window for not installed font? If so, this is what happens in my test to me setting a font by a name i do not possess in my latest version. Now if you are importing someone elses project and they have it set to a font you do not own i do not think it will throw this error, it should just set the font to Arial. I think if that is what you want then the application would need a rather extensive overhaul. Not saying it cant be done, but honestly only a small handful of people would ever need such a thing added, of course you would probably be one of those peopl as you are building others projects. I will look into this second variant but honestly it is a HUGE amount of work for maybe 5 people opn the whole of the internet would even need such a warning message. Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted April 14 Administrator Posted April 14 @Maggz That should be enough. Also, if the bulk save is running, please add the project name to indicate in which saved project the installed font is missing. I would prefer it to show me the error and stop, rather than using Arial unless you can display a diaglog where I can chose behaviour. Yeah, probably not many people will benefit from it, but still, it can be informative for someone who overlooked installing their font or made a mistake with the font name in their project. Quote

Oblivion Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Quaksen thank you very much for the help! But, it doesn t work properly 😞 After selecting "Save" an error occurs and the battlefield is unplayable 😞 I tried to resize Atlas with no luck. Any suggestions please? Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted April 30 Moderator Posted April 30 How did you resize the atlas? Did you do it in Tank Icon Maker? There's a button to resize it (increasing the size) Quote
Oblivion Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Yes in Tank Icon Maker. I reduced it but since i dont know the correct sizes i can t fix it. Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted April 30 Moderator Posted April 30 You shouldn't reduce it, you should make it bigger. Mines set to width 4096 Height 5000 Quote
Oblivion Posted April 30 Posted April 30 OMG you are amazing! That fixed it! Once i enlarged Height to 5000 it is now working!!! But, icons are mirrored. How can i fix that too please? Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted April 30 Moderator Posted April 30 59 minutes ago, Oblivion said: But, icons are mirrored. How can i fix that too please? Like I mentioned in the other thread, you'd need anti-mirror mod. It's in Aslain's modpack, for example. Quote
Oblivion Posted April 30 Posted April 30 (edited) Ok ty! I thought it was somewhere here around! I will try if i can to find a working version of it because Aslain's anti-mirror is crushing Game after loading screen and always before entering in a battle. Edited April 30 by Oblivion Quote

Nobody reported such problems, maybe you are using an older anti-mirror mod? Attach your logs, and tell me on which map and game mode you crashed like that? Quote

When i use http://files.rtor.nl/WoT/AntiMirror_battle.wotmod and http://files.rtor.nl/WoT/AntiMirror_garage.wotmod (files attached) the game is crushing durring login and before garage. But when i use the AntiMirror attached file it is crushing before battle. i opened the file with Notepad++ and the only readable text shows that it is Aslains mod. Mr Aslain i am terribly sorry and i don t mean to derogate you at all. But its been several months now that i can t play the game as i used to and since yesterday i can see again the correct icons!!! So if only i could restore icons mirroring i will be able to enjoy my game! So i appologize if i upset you with this problem of mine, but i know nothing from programming and i need to bother you 😕 AntiMirror_garage.wotmod AntiMirror_battle.wotmod AntiMirror.wotmod Quote

One last question is what is the difference between ELITE and NO ELITE? it is unavaliable 😞 Edited May 1 by Oblivion Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted May 1 Administrator Posted May 1 You must be logged in there I guess. Elite shows elite levels, no elite is not. Why dont you just install contour icons without XVM from my modpack? You will have the anti-mirror installed automatically. Quote
Oblivion Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Because it installs other features too and i try to keep it minimun. i only use icons because in every update i must wait my mods to get updated. This way i only need mirrored icons and i have no game crashes at all. I used to play with many of your mods in modpack but since you stopped having black spy icons (with arty as red and heavy as black) i turned to tank icon maker and after a few updates i had to get rid of your modpack which btw it still has leftover files in my game folders 😉 Thank you verymuch for your responce and i will enroll there to download it!

And then you didn't remove things properly.. that's not the modpacks fault. Hm. 🙂 Quote
Maggz Posted May 2 Author Posted May 2 Aslain's mod pack in my opinion has been one of the very best in this game, everything is safe and he goes thru a LOT of work to make sure things are functional. As a prior mod pack author myself i do know the work he puts into this thing. If you have files that it installs that you didn't select, you put them there by not reading what you checked, OR, and this does happen which is outside of the installers control, But some mods have config files which they create after install upon game launch. If those are not installed by the installer, they would be left over files that the uninstall will not remove. That being said, those files are just config files and do nothing without their mods installed. Also forgot to mention, this still works without any update to it needed for the current game update. 1 Quote
TheBaal Posted May 18 Posted May 18 HI, I can't seem to get a working tank icon maker from the links here. After some time I came back to the game and I want to make my own icons, I have version 66 but it doesn't work for me. I am asking for a link where I can download a version that will work on the current version of the game, I am using the version with XVM. Quote
Maggz Posted May 19 Author Posted May 19 in my first post there is a link to github, if you look on the right side of that page there is a section that says releases. There is a link you can click right below that. If that is too hard to follow here is a direct link to the zip download of it from github https://github.com/MaggzWOT/TankIconMaker/releases/download/pre-release/Tank.Icon.Maker.1.24.1.0.zip Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted May 20 Administrator Posted May 20 As of the missing font warning, any news about it? Quote
Maggz Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 For right now i have not gotten to that, i have been pretty busy with work and other projects. It requires a significant recode to do a check for fonts on imported projects. One i have not had time to get to yet. It is on my next updates to do list tho Quote
