Pixel art scrap icons in inventory!

[dawn rain]

Instead of the regular gear icon or occasional shovel, a small icon is shows to represent the scrap you hold! Here are some samples I've made that I'm most proud of:
Ima try and make it functional once all are complete

and yes i know the shotgun is stubby 😭

Pixel art scrap icons in inventory!

Your pixel resolution could be a smidge bigger perhaps, just so there can be a lil more detail, I dig this idea tho

[dawn rain]

this is true but i suck at pixel art so i like 16x16 best

but yh dimensions feel off sometimes like with the clock and shotgun

[weary cairn]

Just lock in 💪

[dawn rain]

Ong 🔥🔥

[tawny plume]

Great idea, someone I feel might be good to do this is the developers of #1295871652168466432

[rough thicket]

That's cool. Might also not be very hard

Is anyone already doing this?

[tawny plume]

Not to my knowledge

[rough thicket]

Well, if someone makes the pixel art, I'd be willing to do the code part :3

[tawny plume]

Seems pretty good at pixel art

[dawn rain]

ty :))

In terms of support for other mods, you could make a low tech automatic solution by rendering an item in low resolution and displaying that.

[tawny plume]

It may just look like a mess

[river crow]

Hence automatic, as in until dedicated support is made

[tawny plume]

amazing

[dawn rain]

i mean i could just make a placeholder texture (maybe the current gear icon but a pixelated version for consistency) and I can just manually add it if they A. reach out to me or B. i have nothing better to do

[river crow]

Thats blurry, not low res lol

[tawny plume]

ok 1 min

[dawn rain]

i mean this is alright but likeee

but likeee

ykyk

it would do until support is added i guess

[river crow]

uhh... Maybe some sort of color reducing filter?

[dawn rain]

i suppose 😔

[dawn rain]

oh yh true

idk how to do that though due to my lack of braincell

[tawny plume]

is this good? (I got carried away with the filters)

[river crow]

Reduce gamma

[dawn rain]

is that the bell 😭

[tawny plume]

ye it is a bell

[dawn rain]

i mean it looks very lethal company-ey with the filter

[river crow]

Thats just jpeg compression homie lmao

[tawny plume]

[dawn rain]

turn resolution down for regular pixellation

[tawny plume]

hmmm

[dawn rain]

[dawn rain]

uhhh

oopsie!!!!!

idk

i just use paint.net lmfao

[dawn rain]

and resize to 16x16

[river crow]

Can you send the unfiltered image?

[tawny plume]

lovely

[dawn rain]

paint.net my beloved ❤️

[tawny plume]

Took the icons from this

[tawny plume]

use it for all my icons

did some improvement

[dawn rain]

😭

[tawny plume]

[weary cairn]

jesus christ

step aside lemme take a crack at it

[dawn rain]

[tawny plume]

im so good (help me)

[dawn rain]

that looks like a red blunt lol

nah but its good tho

you did that manually right?

[tawny plume]

nuh uh

using my

algorithm

and machine learning

and code

that i cooked up

in .02 seconds

[dawn rain]

fr?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[tawny plume]

yeah im too good

[dawn rain]

on skibs

[tawny plume]

on skib§

apperatsus

[dawn rain]

😭

[rough thicket]

[weary cairn]

bing bang boom

[tawny plume]

shotgun

[weary cairn]

that's 20% smaller

what's the target resolution?

[tawny plume]

im not too sure its the same 16x16 look

[weary cairn]

16x16 ok hold fast

[dawn rain]

16x16 of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16x16 best resolution frfr

[tawny plume]

🥩

[dawn rain]

atomic i have a serious question

are you the typa fella

to jump for the beef

or play it safe for the chicken

[dawn rain]

(but you risk staying a parkour noob forever)

[tawny plume]

i fell off the noob level in parkour civ

going for the chicken

[tawny plume]

Do you like my shotgun

[dawn rain]

i love it

[tawny plume]

i also made this but yk whatever

it was ez

[weary cairn]

bing bang boom 16x16

[tawny plume]

And this was done not using filters and easily replicated by code

And also abit of fixing on the colors maybe

[weary cairn]

what I did was Posterize with 4 steps (this clamps the color values down to 4 deviations so you get that sharper color edges) and then just shrrrrank it down with nearest neighbor scale

[weary cairn]

without using nearest neighbor scaling you get this blurry effect

[river crow]

I wonder what the difference would be if you posterize after resizing

[weary cairn]

Probably subtle, though not negligible potentially

[river crow]

Or maybe applying a color pallet effect ontop of the above result

[rough thicket]

I see this thread has blown up a little

[tawny plume]

nuh uh

I don't remember if we mentioned over in the RuntimeIcons thread, but if the icons are made manually, you could make what essentially amounts to a mod pack that contains your icons as PNG files and configures RuntimeIcons to use them

would be a very long line in the config to set all those paths though, the way it is currently set up

[dawn rain]

True but changing the icon should be decently easy, runtimeicons' main function is to generate a 3d model icon on the go so i think having it as a dependency would be a bit unnecessary maybe

Bc runtime icons isnt made manually and it generates them as you play

[rough thicket]

My initial plan also didn't include RuntimeIcons tbh

[warped crater]

oh yeah, as long as y'all are programmers is not difficult

[rough thicket]

I just need some pixel art icons and the mod is as good as done

[weary cairn]

do these work for what you're doin?

[rough thicket]

I kinda prefer the style Sile gave as an example, but I can use that as well.

Both look good

[weary cairn]

the main benefit of my version, though yes less stylish, is like, so easy to just do with any icon

take ya less than a minute to do the process and then if you want you can do some polish afterwards

[warped crater]

Those do seem like fairly recognizable examples, though, so I wonder if it would work well for others

[dawn rain]

We can add both, my manually made ones for vanilla icons and then the automatic method for modded ones - then maybe do some tweaks to add some outlines or whatever to make it fit in

Or smth
