Bigger Iconset blurry

[KleinKirin]

Heya!

I have a problem and I dunno why it happens. I made a lot of Icons...so I made the iconset larger (height) but now the icons are blurry and some of them won't show up in the game. How large I can make that iconset?

Details, no one here is a mind reader, no one here is networked to your system, no one here is sitting at your desk with you. If you want people to provide you information, you need to provide them with details.

What is "larger"? "Larger" doesn't tell us anything. Give us actual numbers.

What do you mean by "blurry" that doesn't tell us anything? Where are they blurry? When are the blurry? In the battles during playtest? In the menus? In the database when you are assigning them? Is the image zoomed in? Is the image zoomed out? Is the image still at default dimensions but degraded?

Won't show up where? In the play test? In the menu? In the database? Where don't they show up? & what are the differences between the "blurry" icons, & the icons that "don't show up"?

512 icons tall is the limit.

You mean 512 rows? That is over 8000 icons. I'd say that is enough. (8121 to be exact)

8192. You'd say that, but we have threads here of people making larger ones and running head-first into that problem.

"Making" is probably a bit of a stretch.

Most of them probably just copy & pasted various versions of "The Giant Icon Set" or other ripped resources together.

I can't see many of the people that end up posting those threads having actually created a hundred individual icons, & then multiplying them up to eight hundred via recolors. Let alone doing the work to create 8,000+ icons.

Oh I meant to say 8191. :p ( it is 512*16-1 cause the first row has only 15 icons, not 16) :p

Well, to be honest, my icons set is mostly a combination of several existing tilesets too. (XV Ace resized and recolored, mostly) There is just a few icons I added myself.

I've been planning on making my own tilesets for a loooooooooooooong time now, but the truth is, I think it is too much work, and the VX Ace set is not half bad.

there are many, many icons in there I don't even use, and still I don't go over 767. (I crop this down per project. I don't have 100's unused icons in my projects.)
