Another approach of making commandmap marker icons.
(See Ifurita’s tutorial for an alternative: Making Custom Command Map (CM) Markers @ wolfenstein 4 newbies)
For this approach you need the map source.
Example I choose is Fueldump maingate.
- [li]Open up the map in GTKRadiant.
[/li] [li]Choose the part of the map you want to make an icon from.
[/li] box -> select inside
[li]Copy this part.
[/li] [li]Open a new empty map.
[/li] [li]Insert the copied parts of the original map.
[/li] [li]Edit the copied parts to suit your needs.
[/li] [li]Adjust the camera.
[/li] [li]Take a screenshot.
[/li]
[li]Open this screenshot with your favorite image manipulation software.
[/li][li]Save the 3D-view part as image.
[/li] [li]Select the gray parts with the help of the magic wand.
[/li] color tolerance should be 0 or 1
[li]Fill the selected parts with black.
[/li] [li]Save this image (it’s the RGB part).
[/li]
[li]Invert the selection.
[/li] [li]This time fill the selection with white.
[/li] [li]Save this image with another name (it’s the Alpha part).
[/li]
[li]Scale both images to 64 * 64.
[/li]
[li]Combine both images to an alpha TGA file.
[/li] As I’m noob in making alpha TGA’s I use the little tool I’ve written for that (alpha targa split 'n merge).
