@@shaefurr, what's your latest mbt stuff? I'm unable to download using the link in the first post. It says the content is private.

Try it again, no idea how it got set to private so I made it public.

The new sets are nice, but how come the images are so huge? If I resave them in Photoshop for web at 80 quality they are 400k, at 100 they are 800k yet your versions are about 3mb.

 

Is there a reason for the images to be that high quality? If not it would save storage space on the server and all the clients (due to caching) not to mention the faster download speeds from the server.

Are you talking about saving in the webp format? I didn't want to do that quite yet since it isn't widely supported yet. And I choose png over jpg because I still wanted something lossless. I can resave them in a different format if you want though

lol, I didn't even look to see they were png files. Yea, JPEG is so much better in this instance (for my uses) I'll probably just wait for you to update Gen 2 with the missing consoles but I guess I'll have to resave all the images to JPEG to make them less crazy file size wise.

After I finish the mb3 set ill just bulk convert all the sets to jpg so people can have their choice to download either png or jpg

@@techywarrior updated the links on the main page, they're now jpg files, also added more icons to the MBT set I had sitting around. I'll re-add the png downloads at a later time. Each icon is between 600-800k now instead of ~3MB.

What are you using to make the tiles? Do you have a photoshop action or something?

 

Thanks

 

No im just using regular console images from the web, I crop them out as I like and then change the lightness to +100, then add the colored background. For example this is what I used for the DSi.

 

Unfortunately because of all the manual cropping needed on each image there's no way to make use of an action, or at least not one to save any time anyway.

 

I should also add the for a lot of consoles I have to make the image from scratch using shapes since there arn't any good top view pics available.

Hello shaeffur,

 

Is it possible to make new genre gameicons in line with the new standard genre icons from MB I hope it's possible to make them from the old game icons you made.

 

i like to help if you like to share the base files :)

Yeah I can work on some soon, I should have the template around here somewhere.. I just reformatted again since I got tired of my win 8 apps not working. I'll get photoshop back on here this week and work on em.

Awesome that will save me a ton of work the templates for the genres are available on git as is a ready made txt file for you to add the genres into.

 

templates> https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Resources/tree/master/images/imagesbyname/genre-psd

 

I also have an action (cs6) that will turn the thumb into the folder image if you need/want it give me a shout.

Sounds good I use CS6 anyway, I should still have a landscape to portrait action unless I lost it in the reformat, ill hit you up if I need it.

foolishly I darkened part of the center of each backdrop in the genre icons without using a layer, you can see from the first pic below in which I pulled the backdrop from the genre set, ill probably just redo them completely to match the rest of the genre icons, 2nd pic below.
