Exporting Images from Medieval Engineers
Applications and Plugins
There are several ways to export the .dds images from Medieval Engineers. This can be accomplished using a variety of applications, including but not limited to Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and paint.net. Photoshop and GIMP will require the Intel Texture Works Plugin whereas paint.net supports this format natively. Other supported applications are listed at BCn App Support.
Sourcing
Most of the images needed are easily found as icons from the game. When viewing .sbc files there may be several icons listed for a single entity. These are displayed in the game by layering them together. Usually, only one layer is required, but in some cases two or more may be combined to make an appropriate image. For example, tool smelting icons are a combination of the appropriate tool icon and the smelting icon. Any image editing application that supports layering can easily allow composite images to be made.
Most of the icons needed to make images for the wiki can be found at the following file path, assuming the default installation folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MedievalEngineers\Content\Textures\GUI\Icons
Format
When saving the images the png format should be used.
- Png supports transparent pixels. This is desirable to avoid adding a background to the images.
- Png does not support layers so the image will have to be flattened to a single layer before saving. Most applications automatically flatten images when saving as png.
Jpeg is not recommended because it lacks support for transparent pixels.
