Wanted: Entity tooltip thumbnails

[Maurice]

In an effort to make the entity section of the editor less of a fucking mess, I'm adding tooltips to them which may or may not include text but will definitely include an image.
These images will be 64x64 pixels and should perfectly illustrate the entity's look and/or function.

Now you have the chance to make one, two, or however many you like of these and I'm gonna pick the ones I like and include them with the game! You'll be credited in the source code.

Here's the current entity list:

And the icons:


Here's an example:

You're free to add text or other objects or anything really as long as it helps understand the entity.
Please leave the background transparent if you can.
Edited: Try to keep the scale to 1.

If you need information on how entities can be customized by rightclicking, I've uploaded the property definitions, but don't specify them unless it makes sense.

Have fun!

pipe:

[Maurice]

Perfect.

[ChrisGin]

Light Bridge.

[Maurice]

Try to keep the scale to 1, and maybe show that they can be portaled.

[ChrisGin]

Alright, 1 min.
EDIT:
Thinkin with portals.

[ChrisGin]

Companion Cube:



ALSO. Bowser thing.

...and axe.

Vine:

On state for floor button, vertical door and the on/off toggle

[Firaga]

Auto-portal placers.

Threw this together in 15 minutes, if I have time, I'll fix it up and/or make more.

[Maurice]

Mario shouldn't be in the frame if he's not needed, or he'll be just distracting.
1 image per entity.
Also it would probably be better if your image isn't a badly cropped image which actually has the window border in it.

[Firaga]

Done.

[ChrisGin]

Which companion cube picture is preferred? Both are typical uses of it.

[Turtle95]

I can try to center this if you'd like

Wouldn't it be helpful to show that lasers kill mario?

bad post

[Sunset_Moth]

I don't get that post. Also, do you need an animated tile tooltip for the animated tiles?
I could probably try doing one. (It would suck like heck though)

[Automatik]

Which one?
Also, it's for ENTITY tooltips. As in how to place the entities, and how it should react. (Probably)Not for the ennemies. And not for the tiles.

[Gramanaitor]

Here's one for the portal gel:



I'll try to do the other gels unless someone else get's them done before.

[Maurice]

Well it's a contest, if you think someone's tooltip sucks you do it better.

[TripleXero]

Mario Spawn/Checkpoint:
/

Flagpole:


Drain:


Up Pipe:


Warp Pipe:


I kept Mario in the images because it seemed like it fit or was needed in some of them, I guess the drain one doesn't really need it, but spawn/checkpoint shows that he doesn't spawn directly on the entity and flagpole shows it adds the ability to grab on like it's the pole

Also if someone's making these without using Mari0 screenshots or putting the entity on a transparent part, the transparency is 153

[alesan99]

Cheep Cheeps

if you prefer transparency then

[Mari0Maker]

Bullet Bill.




Would you accept a .gif?

[TripleXero]

I was gonna ask about animated images or multiple frames, too, because some are hard to show with one frame. Also, B is Bowser, isn't it?

[Mari0Maker]

Also, I think this is a better example for the Warp Pipe (edited from TripleXero's image):

[renhoek]

Here's one for the portal gel:



I'll try to do the other gels unless someone else get's them done before.

that's not even gel it's just an orange portal. EDIT: oh wait I just saw that's white gel.
anyway image dump

[Maurice]

There's only 1 gel entity and 1 gel-tube entity.
1-8 is not a level (and wouldn't be clear anyway).
is not the bullet bill entity.

Currently I got these:

[renhoek]

There's only 1 gel entity and 1 gel-tube entity.

I could have done so many other things in that time!
updated them




and cube dispenser because I felt that doing 2 thumbnails wasn't enough effort.

BILL START


BILL END

[Turtle95]

Powerups:

[Assasin-Kiashi]

BILL START


BILL END

Good, but I'd recommend using the default mario sprite, just for generalisation.

[Maurice]

The mario is totally unnecessary in that image anyway so I removed him.

[ChrisGin]

Portalgun Pedestal:

[Firaga]

Springboard


Seasaw


Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate

[Maurice]

Here's the current list. None of these are final. If you feel you can make a better one than any of these, go right ahead.

[Firaga]

Cloud Platform Thing

Though, this one needs to be redone better.

[Pyrosaur]

Piranha Plants!

EDIT:

bloops

[Mari0Maker]

is not the bullet bill entity.

Whoops. Let me fix that.


Also, better version of Cheep-Cheeps and Bloopers in my opinion. It removes the light blue background.

[Automatik]

Piranha Plants!

Imho, you should show where the entity should be placed, like for my thing:

[Mari0Maker]

Better BILL START and BILL END.


Also, this.

Should I add a fade at the end of it?

EDIT: Decided to do something different.

I didn't know the color of the "orange version", so I just used the orange gel's color.

EDIT 2: I just love doing this.

Edited from renhoek's.
Red arrow is by Assassin-Kiashi.

[Jackostar10000]

With the edited version of mine you should move the bill start / end to the very front mari0maker. it may be a bit easier to understand

I think how it is now is fine. You could edit it if you want.

[Firaga]

This one was made by my friend, Bribob4 from a different forum.
So if you're going to credit anyone for this should it be in the game, credit him.

and

[Firaga]

Coinblock, again, not made by me, made by TheCanadianToast.

[Superjustinbros]

I did a bit of cleanup on the vine graphic, and to show how the vine is placed in the block just incase newcomers try to build the whole vine itself out of the entity alone.


Oh, and one for Bowser.

I was thinking of putting up some text saying "5 AWAY" since the "B" entity spawns Bowser above the sixth and seventh tiles from where the "B" entity is placed

[MM102]

Try this:

or this:

It might also help If we had all the sprites
the orange one was just an inaccurate recolor

[renhoek]

Oh, and one for Bowser.

I hope you don't mind but I decided to add some text to the image stating how far bowser will travel from the entity.
