Icons + graphical launcher?
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:26 pm
Hello everyone!
I have found out that having graphical representation helps me distinguish between different mods and wads. With all those hellish and/or sci-fi names, it's easy to get confused. Here are the icons for unofficial Doom stuff I have been making. I try to include some artwork from the mods and maps themselves, ideally their official logo and title motive too. Sometimes there is very little of my own work, but some of them took a lot of messing around.
Display resolution is 128x128 for most, the larger images in the ico files are only there to force Windows to load bigger than 64x64 icons, as 128x128 ones seem to be ignored on my machine.

For quite some time I have been thinking of a graphical launcher. I have an html-based prototype of my own, but it's clumsy, windows-only and cannot do much, just lets you pick mod + wad + music + hud.
Is there some gzdoom compatible launcher I could use my icons in? If someone was interested in coding one, I have a nice concept, but I'm incapable of real programming.
In case my search is fruitless, I'll just be making more icons and improving existing ones over time and maybe if the situation doesn't change for some time I'll finish my silly launcher after all. I'm also taking icon requests. Can't promise when they're done, but I'll try.
