Omg, can you release your scoreboard please kyzer, it looks like OWNAGE

[Chironex]

Lol, that was not my intention, only showing a different scoreboard because i'm proud of what i did

[Kingtendo]

Kyzer, did you make those "Custom Ratings" That was on your scoreboard, doesn't look like you used silkicons.

[Chironex]

Yes, they are others sillkicons, that clients download when they join

[Kingtendo]

Thanks, you do convert them into vmt and vtf files first, right?

[Chironex]

Yes. And you need to convert them with the same settings as the originals icons (you can find them in garrysmod.gcf)

[Kingtendo]

How can i view the settings (I have GCF Scape). In the VMt files of the icons ? :S

So These Settings, when converting the Targa to Vmt's and Vmf's?

Code: [Select]

"UnlitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "gui/silkicons/anchor"
"$ignorez" 1
"$vertexcolor" 1
"$vertexalpha" 1
"$nolod" 1
}
Are these Instructions right?

1. Convert IMG.png to IMG.tga
2. use Vtex on the IMG.tga with the settings above.

[Chironex]

Download VTFEdit, open a original .vtf gmod icon, look settings, remember them, then convert your own icons into .vtf using the same settings.

[Kingtendo]

Thanks alot, i know they have to be targa to convert the image, but then it can't be transparent? Can $translucent do this?

[Chironex]

No, use the original .png files, you CAN open them with VTFEdit, iirc you need to do Import not Open. They do appear in a weird background color, but don't worry they are transparent once converted to .vtf and once in game.

The vmt i used looks like that (as original gmod icons):

Code: [Select]

"UnlitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "silents_server/scoreboard/icon_pack_1/icon_01"
"$ignorez" 1
"$vertexcolor" 1
"$vertexalpha" 1
"$nolod" 1
}
