Silkicons gmod 13 - Developers

Is their anyone or any tutorials which i can follow because i want to be able to create my own icon for things like the Spawnlist etc. [U][B]EDIT:[/B][/U] This has been solved and to anyone who might have this similar problem that i had here is the solution. If you want to add you own custom icon to Garry's Mod 13 spawnlist icons, it requires you to find this directory. [U]C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials[/U] Once you are there you must find a folder called [B][U]icon16[/U][/B] if the file doesn't exist create a folder within this directory called [B][U]icon16 [/U][/B] After that create a .png image with the dimensions of 16x16 pixels using any sort of picture editing software of your choice, i prefer Adobe Photoshop. Now save the image in the icon16 folder you found or create, and now you should be able to find the image on the first row as shown here. [IMG]http://s29.postimg.org/zccwg5dev/Icon.jpg[/IMG]

What exactly do you need help with though? Silkkicons are just little 16x16 png files you can create yourself in either photoshop or paint. Just place them inside materials/icon16 when you're done.

Can you tell me the path to this materials/icon16 because i can't seem to find it. -Thanks

The icons are packed into .vpk files, you'll need latest GCFScape to open them.

So if i want to make my own icons in the Spawnlist i would need to \garrysmod\garrysmod\materials and find a folder called icon16, but if the file doesn't exist then create a folder called icon16 in the materials folder and place 16x16 .png icons which i created in PS and i should be able to see the icon i created here?

Thanks [editline]12th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Robotboy655;43163124]Yes.[/QUOTE] This unforgettably didn't work here is what i did. [B][U]Here is the icon/picture in this directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\STEAMNAME\garrysmod\garrysmod\materials\icon16[/U][/B] [IMG]http://s28.postimg.org/bnb1658nh/Step_1.jpg[/IMG] [B]After scrolling through the list ingame i could'nt find the icon i created.[/B]

Pretty sure it should be in steamapps/common/garrysmod

[QUOTE=Aj;43164613]Pretty sure it should be in steamapps/common/garrysmod[/QUOTE] That's if your game was converted with the Steampipe update.

[QUOTE=Aj;43164613]Pretty sure it should be in steamapps/common/garrysmod[/QUOTE] I placed the PNG icon i made and place it in this directory. [U]C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials\icon16[/U] Doing this successfully added my custom icon into Garry's Mod as shown here.
