custom icon

Archive: 9 posts


Hey guys,

I have a good idea but i'm at work not @ my PS3 D: .. just wondering if anyone knows how to make custom level icons; my guess is you can take pics with a ps eye (which i dont have)

or make just make a custom sticker in game and take a pic of it?

i kind of have a trademark that i made myself i would like to use it but would prob have to make a new one for every level

Hey you just gave me an idea!!

In some other thread we were trying to find a way so our level icons wouldn't be some 16:9 photo squished into 4:3 ratio (like the game does automatically right now)

Photos taken with the PS3 are 4:3 in ratio so this means I could make a giant icon in some empty level and take a picture of it with the eye. OMG.

glad to help ....hmm so if you take a picture in game it makes it a 16:9 but when you creat an icon out of squishes it to 4:3? if thats the case i guess ill have to try to figure out a way to not make it look like garbage when i do mine

Yeah it sadly does that. If you don't want your icon looking squished you either need to create it stretched looking (so it will look ok when squished) or use the PSeye to take the picture of it (and suffer the even more horrible image quality).

Actually I think it scales it to fit a square (1:1). But a 4:3 image would be much less distorted than a 16:9 image, so at least that will help.2009-01-29 17:07:00

I've tested this yesterday evening and it works.

It really is the way to get some proper looking logos but it could be annoying to have Sackboy in the screen and it's not always easy to hide him.

My main problem anyways is that the captured image from the camera is SO compressed when saved in the game that I can't stand the quality. I prefer a squished logo to this...
