can you make one of these for npcs?

this is cool as fuck!

EASY

i figured it out its awesome

not working

THIS IS SO FUCK

difficult but probably easier than normal

this is to hard to understand

how i apply after saving

the icon is saved but does not appear on the map, do I have to do something else?

the icon is not appearing

nothing happens to the icon after i save a new one

is it possible to change the default size? the default is 400 and i would like to make it 512x512

you cant

how do i endorse a comment

now i could put gman in every map icon

words can't describe just how helpful this really is - did about 160 map icons quickly and easily without needing something like paintdotnet

Hm. I may be stupid. Thank you.

there's a giant X on the top right of the window

Is there a way to exit the interface once you're done making the icon? Pressing F8 just opens it a second time.

cool

To automatic it:

Delete the "thumb" folder located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\mapicons\thumb

Then open the Command Prompt and paste this:
mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\mapicons\thumb" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\maps\thumb"

This mod does work:

After taking your photo with f8, go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\mapicons\thumb

Then move the photo to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\maps\thumb

Restart Gmod

How do you make that "symbolic link" that you refer?

how do you close it

This mod doesn't fix the grey map icon issue. It still persists even when the folder is correct.

i made sure the screenshot was saved to the thumb folder and it doesnt fix the ugly grey map icons

Thanks for this, very epic!

Thank you, works really well!

I am permanently stuck on map icon preview

how do i make data/mapicons/thumb a "symbolic link" to the maps/thumb folder like it says to in the description? i want to make it automatic but i dont know enough about files to know what a symbolic link is or how to make it

THANK YOU SO MUCH

It works like a charm. Thank you for the friendly advice. Mods like these are really precious. Keep up the good work!

garrysmod\maps\thumb. if the folders don't exist, create them. there should only be one maps folder in your garrysmod folder.

Also what exact "maps" folder are the images supposed to go? You don't give the exact path and there are 3 different maps folders in various places.

Nevermind, I found the image but the map icon doesn't show up in the map selection screen.

thank you very cool

easily one of the best addons i use

it not work on real map

spend dozens/hundreds of hours on a map
not willing to spend 15 minutes to make a good thumbnail

lol

I accidentally got the icon maker stuck on my screen and had to restart a horror map when me and my friends were almost done >:(

but where is the icon i created??

Omg, I've been looking for something like this in AGES
Thank you so fucking much

f8 is my restart button

Я конечно понимаю, что аддону уже пару тысячилетий, но всё-же я надеюсь, что автор увидит мой комментарий. Насколько я понял, скриншоты с карты должны хранится по пути: "garrysmod\data\mapicons\thumb" и заменятся сами в автоматическом режиме уже в игре. Значит ли это, что и те иконки которые до этого были в игре должны быть отображены в той-же папке? И если это так, что делать если этого не происходит? У меня в вышеперечисленном пути есть только те скриншоты, которые я сделал с помощью мода и причем их наличие никак не изменят иконку карты в игре.

because you can't do that from within the game. you don't have access via lua to maps\thumb

This mod works like it needs to, but why all map icons can't be saved in exact folder (maps/thumbs) or at least can not be directed by yourself in whereever you want by some console command?
