Hi! I made a new page for the Image Subrect Editor. I have no idea how to create a template for the icon and ez click link thingy. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Image_Subrect_Editor If you could help out, as I think you're the one doing this, that'd be cool. Thanks!

I can do that but I would have to install some Source 2 games manually, by pirating games (HL Alyx) or using third-party sites (I picked the one that i trust the most) to get CS2 for free, then I can extract the SDK icons (such as Image Subrect Editor) from one of those games. That icon template isn't that hard to make.

I can upload the icon. I'll just follow the other icons naming conventions.

Hi! I've added the icon. I couldn't find what the others were named, but the name is image_subrect_editor_icon.png

Usually you can name it whatever you want, but I recommend you to use something like "Icon-S2ParticleEditor.png" or "Icon-(Tool name).png" for example.
For the company logos, software logos, etc..., use "Logo-(Name).png".

Another thing, if you go to 🖿common\Counter Strike 2\core\tools\images\ for example, there is tons of higher-res version of the tools icon, such as Image subrect in 32x32 or higher. These benefits high-DPI displays such as 4K or Retina one, but to use it on VDC, you just need third-party programs or website to convert it to PNG (which you already know), instead of uploading 16x16 version, upload the 32x32 (or higher) version of the icons (if the game/tools/software have it), and using one parameters (like {{{ico size = 16px}}}) for the icon template to scaling it down back to 16px (but will scaled back to 32x32 or more if you zoom your browser in or by using high-res displays). Right now I'm currently converting the ico to 32x32 size (and optionally upscale it if needed to), then overwrite the 16x16 one.

That's where I got that 16x16 icon from, it's the only one there. I'll upscale it and reupload.

Ah nvm, you got it. But yeah, that was the only scale of that icon.

Template has been created now. See {{ImgSubrect}}. Note that the newly uploaded icon may ended up look blurry (with 32px size) because the cache wasn't fully cleared on your browser, just use Ctrl + F5 to clear all caches while reloading the page.

Awesome, thank you! I just had 0 idea how any of that template stuff works.

redoing hotspot page

SethTooQuick10:20, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi again! So, I was wondering if remaking the hotspot page should be done? As I've made the Image Subrect Editor page, the old docs need to be cleaned up. Do you think it's wise to turn that page into "Hotspots" and orgainzie the info like the new subrect page?

Fixed L4D page

Hey man, fixed the L4D page. Turns out I must have accidentally added an extra }} somewhere in the Mod Status part of the template, or broke it in one way or another. Fixed by removing Mod Status.

I need to stop editing templates on mobile...

Hello! Have you checked the functionality of the Team Fortress Classic Team Fortress Classic? (with 25th Half-Life Half-Life update) I have Linux, and to be honest, I did not find any problems running this modification. Although Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Counter-Strike: Condition Zero/Counter-Strike Counter-Strike don't work.

I don't own that game so I would have to check the pirated version through Steam Underground forum (which is always updated to the latest version). The game did launch just fine, but it's does not have the HUD scaling fix at all, the menu did changed through and the logo on the menu was not cropped properly. However FOV Widescreen fix appears to work just fine, along with other video options.

Does Mapbase belong on Template:branch-navbox?

Hey man, I'm asking all active editors of the VDC to respond to the survey on my user page on whether or not Mapbase is an engine branch or not. I would like it if you submitted a response!

For now, Mapbase is the forked version of Src13 SP with some differences that was enough to making most or nearly all mods incompatible with vanilla/unmodified Source 2013 SP. So for now it's probably gonna stay as the engine branch.

Hello, can you say, for what we should add a name with title (abbreviation) of game; for example. Adding | nameCS 1.6 = CS 1.6; what application of this line?
ERR

leonidakarlach19:23, 23 March 2024 (UTC+7)
What do you mean by that? I basically just added the "| nameCS 1.6 = CS 1.6" (or similar on some software template) so that it would be much easier for me (and anyone else) to remember instead of having to visit the template page itself and find the exact number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc...) for the abbreviation of game title or alternative game name ({{{nt}}}). Typing {{cs|4|nt=CS 1.6}} would basically display as: Counter-Strike CS 1.6.
