Need Help with flag-grenade.png editing

[Bistoufly]

Greetings

I'm trying to mod the nade so that it's more visible.

So I remade the image in Gimp: changed size of image to 20X20 pxl and edited it to show a green neon circle effect.

The nade:


How it looks in Gimp:



But here comes my problem

As you can see in this screen shot:



The nades are not centered anymore. Obviously I must be missing something!



Any help on how to fix that would be much appreciated.

Ty,

Not possible due sprites being aligned by the left upper corner.
Just make them the same size as the original ones are, 1 pixel difference at most.


I have no fucking idea why is the name being placed here.
Its not like "look 400pixels to the left to see the user name"

Thanks for your fast reply.

But man, that's disappointing!

I suppose there is no work-around?

Sorry I don't understand, what do you mean?

Just dont make the modded one with a too big resolution difference (1-2 pixels are usually not noticeable, so it would be fine, but over it you will notice the offsets going bad)

This is one issue which has been hindering modder's efforts in creating much larger, more detailed weapons and gosteks.
A program that could actually alter the alignment of the weapons should be created.

I'd like that too.

But that brings a question:
Would it be possible to do that without hacking soldat?

Right now - I don't think so.

But I agree, it would be a huge improvement for modders if some of the images were aligned by center.
Guns, bullets and nades at least.

Speaking of bullets.. they're aligned by corner too, aren't they? Doesn't that mean that bullets that were after 1.3.1 are offset because before they were 1 pixel thick and now they're 3px thick? It doesn't seem like much of a difference, but still..
