About EXOTICONS need help :)
Hello to all of you guys,
Well, i have checked those exoticons for OS3.5 , and since i own
more than 1000 games boxed with some very rare ones,
who can tell me how to create exoticons from my boxes in order
to continue the exoticons packs already existing ?
I would be so pleased to help and create some !
thanks

Ey up!
Well, BuZz is responsible for putting together the Exoticons pack.
There is a box scan section on ExoticA, so it might be worth going through the existing scans and see which ones you have that ExoticA doesn't. Then, if you have some time, perhaps you could scan them?
I'm sure BuZz would appreciate more additions to the box scan gallery - and at some point he may also do an update to the Exoticons...
I also seem to remember that BuZz was thinking about providing individual icon downloads too.
(Just waiting for BuZz to reply as he's been retro-partying hard this weekend! )

I'm sure BuZz will agree - or I'll bitch slap him!
HOL is certainly an excellent website, though it's a shame they have to impose limits on page views.
This doesn't happen with ExoticA.
With the almost ready-to-go-live wiki version of ExoticA (Kyzer's UnExoticA porting pending - if he's not dead), members can upload their own scans without waiting for an webadmin to do the work for them.
Plus, anything you upload is automatically credited to you - as is the nature of a wiki - whether you like it or not!

To create the exoticons I'm pretty sure I used Image2Icon
You can get it from
http://stephan-rupprecht.de/
I would be very interested in any scans you have. Since the old site is quite hard to maintain, if you would like, you could help us with the new one. You can add images to the new games gallery here:
http://dev.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Amiga_Game_Box_Scans
Feel free to add any credits to the image page as you wish (Or if you want a certain licensing for them)

I will take a look at my amiga scripts to give you the commandline options. As my a4000 is currently in bits, this will have to wait until later. (I might be able to do it tonight)
Thanks for the contributions. Please try and aim for at least 150dpi x 150dpi and save with "high" jpeg quality. (Such great art needs to be treated well )
thanks again

Ey up!
When you've finished uploading your scans, I'll show you - perhaps you could create a page telling us about what possessed you to purchase the Sensible Software Collection from eBay.dlfrsilver wrote:How to do this ?
I've noticed, thank you. It makes a change to see so many utility box scans. I wondered how long my AMOS box scan was going to remain on it's own!dlfrsilver wrote: PS : i have upload and added more again box scans, even in the
utils, with many rare ones.
Cheers!
