Multiboard icons

I am just remembering incorrectly, or was it possible to get the icons to overlap upon themselves instead of taking up the full 8x8 slot on the multiboard

i dont think so, why ever do you ask?

My RPG that I am working on uses graphical HP / MP bars in the multiboards and they can only move in chunks, if I can get them to overlap, it would look better graphically because then I can move it in smaller increments

What if you set the width of the column?

1% width should only allow the icon to show, and let them sit together. If you want the bars to be more fluid than 1 icon, make half or even quarter icons that only have a percentage of the bar full, and then you can just add that to the end to give it even more fluid.

even setting the width to 0.01 (1% in GUI) the minimal spacing seems to be that 8x8 slot for the icon, cant seem to figure out a way around that, might be hardcoded

they will not overlap, but like I said already, you can make multiple icons with varying width, so then you can split each icon into as many sections as you like.

A 2x8 solid green line should do it... or use mine: (each are 2x8)
If you want a mana bar, just do a simple colorize (in most graphics programs).
If you use mine, you don't have to give credit.

(Can't attach the JPG of it because it truly kills the quality of it)

0.01 width, using a 2x8 that i created myself and tried the ones attached, still takes up the full 8x8, it seems to stretch the image to fit in that 8x8 space in the same way it shrinks the 64x64 to 8x8

I guess you're stuck using the dreaded... t e x t b a r s . . .

oh well, thnx for the help

Do you guys not understand what I said?!

I guess ill have to make a demo map to show you...

just use one and change width of collumn

No, actually I dont understand what you said because editing the width of the column doesnt stretch the icon to fill it out, so yeah, a sample map would help if you dont mind

All the times I ever got columns to overlap, it was the text that was being overlapped by the icons. I don't know what Ammorth has been doing to make it work, so I would be intrigued to see a working sample.
