Icon Deluxe + Source

krypton2k · 15 October 2021, 16:59

Has anyone got a copy of Icon Deluxe? The demo is on aminet.

https://aminet.net/package/gfx/edit/IconDeluxe2_0

Looks like the author released it at a later date:

But I cant find it anywhere.

Cheers.

Following this thread. Incredibly interested myself.

krypton2k · 16 October 2021, 03:51

I may have tracked down the author. Stay tuned.

nyteshade · 16 October 2021, 03:58

Did you also bug the photographer today? I asked the photographer Brian Tietz but he was like, “nope, wrong guy.”

krypton2k · 16 October 2021, 04:00

Haha no, that clearly wasn't him

nyteshade · 16 October 2021, 04:01

Hey! You never know. Maybe he gave up on the Amiga and BeOS, and focused on photography and surfing. Found several projects the author worked on in BeOS category but still sporting the ucsd address before I had to attend meetings and got lost in work. Glad you found him. Look forward to hearing the details.

I love that you went down the same rabbit hole as I did.

nyteshade · 16 October 2021, 04:08

Icons and the future of a good editor for one, are totally worth it. Let’s get the source on aminet if you get it.

nyteshade · 17 October 2021, 07:52

Any news?

krypton2k · 17 October 2021, 08:41

Sadly no reply yet. I am 99% certain I've found the right guy on Facebook though.

nyteshade · 19 October 2021, 02:54

Let me know what you find. I have an in progress icon creation app that will soon support layers for macOS. I’d love to bring some of that to the Amiga.

krypton2k · 20 October 2021, 12:06

You will be the first to know if anything happens. Your editor sounds good would love to see it on the Amiga. With a few little tweaks Icon Deluxe would be perfect for creating standard icons.

Hi guys, i've got IconDeluxe V2.00 with Nag Screen removed (bypass the 30s waiting screen) uploaded into the Zone!

DanyPPC · 19 January 2022, 13:40

Many thanks Lascap.

But, is it possibile to edit colorful glow icons or only standard 4 color icons ?

Lascap · 19 January 2022, 18:07

Hi DanyPPC,
The maximum of colors that is indicated in the software is 16.
I suppose it's a classic icon editor but it desserve a try to be sure, I do not know well glow icons...

I guess this hacked version is safe to use? Be careful though...

A word of warning: A while after the demo version of IconDeluxe was released (it wasn't crippled, but had a save delay) a pirate version surfaced in which the save delay was removed. I got pissed off and added a land mine to the public version: if the save delay was removed, it would erase the cracker's hard drive if he wasn't careful in how he modified the program (hehehe). This code is still in the source. It is encapsulated in #ifdef PUBLIC, and is conditional on the save delay having been removed to trigger the trap, but make sure to be careful and remove that code anyway.

The author, as he released the program and source... Near the bottom of the text here

Pity, the source is lost. Compiling it cleanly would be the nicest solution.

Did you get confirmation that the source was indeed lost?

I tried the wayback machine but no snapshot found

I asked on twitter who never know...
