Start and admin button graphics
« on: September 19, 2010, 08:10:02 pm »
OK, so I'm going to make my own inserts for some Ultralux lightable buttons, but I'm after some decent, clean start button graphics as well as a few others. I'm probably going to use text for the admin buttons but I would like decent black+white images of the standard P1+2 start button guys, exacty like the Happ standard image below:



There are probably similar ones available but I want that exact proportioned and shaped guy to work from, as there are many variations of this image and they look a bit pants. Anyone know where I can get them?

is it safe to assume that "pants" is a bad thing? i've never heard that word used as an adjective before.

sorry, i can't help you with the button lables...i'm assuming you are trying to create something similar to what Groovygamegear offers for the novagem/iL translucent buttons?

I recently made my own inserts for my ultralux buttons as well.   I just went to kinkos and got what I wanted printed on transparency paper.   the only hard part was cutting out the inserts in perfect circles.   I basically just used an Xacto knife and got as close as I could with that.  If you have another method in mind you plan to use to cut out the cirlces, please let me know how you intend to do it!

Pongo here sells decals, and there are a few links in his buy/sell/trade post that point to some different image files.  Might want to page through that post to see if there is anything that will work for you.

Otherwise, this is the one that I've seen before:

Not sure if the image would print at the correct size, or if you would have to toy around with the sizing to get it right though...

A hollow tipped punch of appropriate size would do the job
