Help How To Add Multiple Custom Icons?

[Sybar]

Yeas, I know that this was probably covered before in some way.

 

I've got a folder full of -up-to Helios icons in .png format. Could someone point me in the right direction as to how I could pack them into an .utx and use with High Five client.

 

I hope this could be done for the entire folder in one go?

 

Thank you

simply create a new texturefile. hit import and select all files. get the right compression settings and hit "OK TO ALL". UED will auto add all selected pictures to ur new texturefile.

 

but im not sure if it works for .png. i think you have to convert them to another file format such as bmp, tga or dds so ue can read them

EDIT:i checked it with your png files. yes you have to use another file format. google for batch image converters to convert ur entire folder (eg. pearlmountain image converter - this one actually allows you to set the image color depth when converting)

And how exactly you imagine to use them? Yes first convert them to tga with a batch, make them utx, and then what you want to do?

 

There are all the icons you already have, the only new are the ones used for things that h5 doesn't have. I mean the icons you have didn't got updated in any way.

 

So what's your point?

The file is a mixture of icons from all chronicles up to Helios. I want to use them for custom items, icons in HTMLs etc.

 

The alternative would be to somehow take icon.utx from Helios client and make it work with H5, I guess all those icons are there as well. Again, not something I know how to do exactly.

 

Thanks Finn, I'll look into that option.

you can also use a batch comparison programm for comparing two folders. the one could contain ur h5 or interlude icons and the other all the icons up to h5. by comparing them u should be able to locate the "new ones" you are looking for. then you can create ur utx file

[IpotoniC]

I don't believe it's a mixture. You just download latest client and run a batch that exports everything with umodel. Basically just download umode -> click the file -> and press export (locate the path if needed) -> you'll get the same result but w/o the sub folders.

 

I just did the Interlude icon.utx, it contains 4,015 Files

Helios contains 9k.

 

As i said you will never use that amount (the ~6+ already exist in your H5 icon.utx). If you want to use some cool ones just find them -> name them -> import them as dxt1 to unreal ->save the utx and use them.

 

I still can't understand your point.

 

 

Edit: dxt1 format is for icons cause in any else format you won't be able to see them while dragging.

he just wants to have a variety of icons so he doesnt need to create new texturefiles for future items maybe?

its a lot easier to just convert your helios icon file for h5......

you can decrypt it with l2 tool and re encrypt with encdec and it should just work for h5

Exactyly that. If I have Icon2.utx file with all Helios icons then I can just pick and chose what I want without going one by one and convert them. The file I got with .png icons is easy to browse and look for whatever I would like to use. I'll never use all of them, but the option is there.

 

Thank you all for all replies. I'll see about adopting helios's icon.utx for H5. When I tried to encdec it thethe window would just popup for a a split second and disappear again. Will try again today.

I tried converting Grand Crusade Icon.utx so it can be used with H5 but I keep getting crashes.

 

Original Grand Crusade Icon.utx:

 

https://mega.nz/#!qcUxnT7A!jAcGmhuk6Yt325rm4k4DABBdTWx3uIfr9i00Sxkll7Q

 

1. I get Icon.utx from Grand Crusade
2. Use l2tool to convert it L2 -> UnrealED
3. Then I use ElfocrashTool to encrypt Icon.utx into Icons.utx (after changed name)
4. Unfortunately after copying it to SysTextures folder of my High Five client and using one of the icons the game crashes

I've also tried other encdec's with the following codes but the crashes keep happening

l2encdec -e 111 Icon.utx
l2encdec -e 121 Icon.utx

 

Could anyone help me out here please? Thanks
