this is one of the most in depth and helpful custom icon videos ive seen. Thank you so much! I didn't even know colon had a website for icons (I assumed as much but didnt have half a brain check)
Another thing to note is that if you want to switch the Icon number for changing placements for example: "spider_15-uhd" to "spider_42-uhd". It may sound easier to rename both .png and .plist filenames to whatever number of your like but doing so makes the Icon look broken. This is mainly because the spritenames and the metadata inside of the .plist file of an Icon do not match to the filename number. For example, your filename for a cube is "player_03-uhd" but the spritenames and metadata is listed as "player_145_001", hence the issue. Thus requiring to also rename the contents inside of the .plist file.
change it so that every time you open a plist file it opens it with the notepad app. you can change this by right clicking the plist file, click on properties, then change the ''opens with'' to be notepad @@xcvmilo
thank you so much, this is such a helpful video ^^ im not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but i think colon's website aligns the images and sets the plist file values based on the cropping or borders of the image, so if you have a photoshop file with all the layers neatly aligned, you can export each layer while not cropping the image and the icon should come out without you needing to make any adjustments. correct me if im wrong tho
Tip: For cubes, it may be better to make the P2 color 120x120 as well (this is the main size for cubes, it may very depending on the cube, which is hell) and set the offsets to the same for each color (this helps save time when adjusting offsets)
can you do a short tutorial on how to export icons from adobe animate correctly with all the layers? it would be helpful if you could show how to export the high resolution and medium resolution icons. thank you for your tutorials! they really helped :)
Hey, I have a question: Is there a way in 2.2 to make an icon that has specific, locked colours? I want to make a cube that’s the flag of Germany (cause I’m german lol) but I don’t want to have to choose those colours just for the cube when it will mess up the rest of my icons. Great tutorial btw, I’m definitely going to mess around with some other custom icons as well :)
Somebody on the GD discord claimed it was possible to add, not replace icons and now i'm trying to figure out if it's possible while i wait for their reply, very big if true.
i have a bit of a problem, i tried to import a ship texture, and it looks fine in the files, but in game it is invisible for some reason, and i cant find a way to fix it
everything was ok until i tried to open icon editor which crashed the game i did troubleshooting but it still crashes whenever opening the icon editor or a level. now i cant play the game because all my files are messed up, how do i fix?
When I go click the icon button, the game crashes, and I figured out it is because of the code going towards the icon, but I’m not sure how to fix it, it also crashes when I try to open a level ( I’m trying to make a cube )
Hi, I am a really large fan of the channel, and one of the things that I love the most is the texture pack. So, if you can, please can you release the texture pack link or share the link to Aerma's Favourites for 2.2. Thank you.
its probably because u didn't go deep enough into the fils u have to go to geometry dash then resources then icon if ur on Mac u might not be able to see the icons folder so in the top right go in the search, search the the type of icon for example bird or spider then under it, it will say search: this Mac resources click on resources and u put the files into it but me for some reason its not letting me put them in and I don't know why so I hope this helps.
Worked perfectly! Tsym I've been in hell trying to manually import a custom icon without any prior knowledge 🙏 I'd like to ask though, where do you get all your custom icons? Is there a site somewhere with these?

I’m trying too make a ship but it came out HUGE cuz the ITs like 1000 by 700 pixels, but if I make it small it gets super pixelated. What do I do?
Use vectors
image upscaler

anything that's put in the extra layer will not be affected by color choice, you can put stuff there
@@AermaExtra Aight thanks :)

I tested this with 1 custom icon I ported, it just crashes the game whenever I try to enter the icon editor. Anything I can do to fix this?

Make sure that all the file names for the images are perfectly written before exporting them to the website, otherwise the game will crash.
