Hey all,

I made this utility in DarkBASIC a while back and found it again recently. I decided to post it in case it could be useful for anyone else.

What does it do? It automatically generates FPSC-compatible .BMP icons for large numbers of .FPE files at once.

To use it, drop RenderIcons.exe in any folder within your FPSC entitybank, and run it. It will automatically load all FPE files in that folder and their meshes and textures, and render them at the proper size in an isometric perspective, and save them as .BMP icons.

Hope it comes in handy. I can try to provide some support for it if necessary; I've also included the source.

Likewise, thanks for sharing this although I like to make my own custom Icons I'm sure many will have great use out of this.

All the best of luck.

do you have to move it to each folder and run it? this will be great for custom media i make... my icons never show in the editor...

also, does it work with segments

Thanks, guys! @seppgirty: no, it does not recurse through subfolders, and it doesn't do segments.
