| Hi! I looked a bit in the game files, and somewhere in there were the tiles - might have been in the map editor? need to check at home. Either way, there was essentially the logos of all stores, usually cropped into three or four pieces, and I fiddled them together in GIMP. From the top of my head I don't remember if I projected them afterwards, or if they were already front-facing. I can check if I still have the files once I'm home.
| |
| Is that remotely helpful?
| |
| /Pohly
| |
| Oh also, I think I drew over the GIMP file in Inkscape in order to make it vector graphics. There is some "find boundaries" feature in Inkscape that essentially draws the complete outline, then I just had to fill the colors from the original correctly.
| |
| /P
| |
| PS: Found the files on my work computer. The ingame-graphics are rotated, I projected them within GIMP, then made a vector outline in Inkscape.
| |
| -------------------------------------
| |
| :thank you. i have been adding all the logos from the game files as rotated.
| |
| :for example:

| :"I projected them within GIMP, then made a vector outline in Inkscape." what is a vector outline, is that how they appear flat? [[User:Ikip|Ikip]] ([[User talk:Ikip|talk]]) 18:31, 2 October 2023 (BST)

| |
| I think I see what you mean. No, so, the "flatness" comes from essentially "projecting" the logo in GIMP / Photoshop. You take the logo and essentially try to "skew" it until it looks roughly right. I did this more or less by hand and until I felt it was right.
| |
|
| |
| The vector part is only because the game-files didn't have a great resolution as far as I could see. The vector outline is done in Inkscape, as a result it converts the pixelated image into a scalable vector graphics that can be enlarged to your hearts desire. I then save a higher-resolution PNG which is what is uploaded to the wiki. Would it help you if I made a video tutorial?
| |
| /P
| |

| :: So I've tried to make a screen recording - Link to video (remove the whitespace before .be) : https://youtu .be/29ZULSS6gvk - I don't know if this is helpful but it's an attempt. If anything is unclear don't hesitate to ask. I haven't done the inkscape step because it might be over the top, and is somewhat difficult for the example you posted. I can make another video about that if you feel you want to try that as well. --[[User:Pohly|Pohly]] ([[User talk:Pohly|talk]]) 08:50, 3 October 2023 (BST)

Again, let me know if you want to do Inkscape - I found that it's maybe not necessary to do that every time, unless you're the perfectionist type *cough*. And yes, of course it can be shared. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with ;-) --[[User:Pohly|Pohly]] ([[User talk:Pohly|talk]]) 21:46, 3 October 2023 (BST)

| |
| :It's [[User:Vaileasys]] who did that, not 100% sure if they can be extracted as such, or if they need some graphic manipulation based on [[Tiles]] images that can be extracted from TileZed and then merged (I did it in GIMP). Gonna ask him on Discord and will let you know! —[[User:Faalagorn|Faalagorn]][[User talk:Faalagorn|☎]]/[[Special:Contributions/Faalagorn|✓]] 08:20, 20 September 2023 (BST)
