I was looking for info on agricraft sprinklers, and noticed there was no wiki entry for it. I thought I'd make one. I'm driving myself nuts digging through the java code trying to find the item image file, but all I can find is the texture file, which of course looks like a mess since it's a rendered 3d object. Do wiki page creators use some renderer, or do they just take minecraft screenshots and use a program to crop out all other background, and turn that into a transparent png?

Page in question: http://ftbwiki.org/S...ler_(AgriCraft)
I'm looking for the standard item picture. One like you'd see here. http://ftbwiki.org/Sprinkler

(edit: I've been playing with GIMP, trying to find a suitable image to upload. I did actually take a screenshot of the item and edit out the other pixels, but still wondering if there's an easier way)

RZR0 has an automated program that renders item images and uploads them to the wiki. He runs that every now and then when there are missing mod images. *pokes RZR0*

There is also an option in NEI to generate item images, under the Tools > Data Dumps section of the options. The format for the item panel dumps can be changed to PNG and you can specify a resolution. Unless you need the image uploaded really quickly it's better to wait for RZR0 to run his program though, that creates hundreds of images very quickly and is less work than manually using NEI dumps.

Oh, I did not know that, but I do now. Thank you. :)

 

I did not need the image ASAP, I just didn't want to leave it blank.
