Better Way to View Item Icons?
« on: March 20, 2013, 06:31:49 pm »


               I use CEP 2.3, and am trying to come up with a simple way to gather up all the available item icons, by baseitem type, for easy viewing (I want our players to be able to check off icons they recognize as already-used). Any clever suggestions? At the moment I'm actually contemplating screenshotting each scrolling of each item type's icon choices from the toolset, though I'm sure there's a better way. I checked, but NWNExplorer doesn't seem to have a mass-viewing method...help? '<img'>

               I open the hak files themselves, export all the icons into a folder, then pull them into Photoshop. I make a simple grid with guides set to the width/height of the icons, then just pull each into the grid.  Save for web, and you have a handy combined image.

I usually set up my grid so that numbers appear at the top & side, so I don't have to individually label every single icon (0-9 across, 0-25 down or 0-25 across, 0-9 down).

Example: large shields (after Aenea + CEP + Q merge)

               Good tip, thanks. Looks like it's time to dust off my photoshop. '<img'>

               Alternatives are to create a table in your word-processor or use a free photo album program. A third alternative is something I remember seeing ages ago but don't know what it's called. There is a program out there that will create a web page from a directory of images, placing them into a html table.

               Tarot: That sounds like ThumbsPlus. There may be others that have the same feature but I distinctly remember this being one of the features heavily focused on in their earlier versions (I prefer v7, as v8 and v9 are built more like the current ACDSee, which I already have). Unfortunately, it isn't free.

I've never used it, but SlickView is free and has this feature.
