If someone could make the picture below into a print for 2x2f it would be much appreciated.

I might do it, but is it really that difficult to do it yourself? It doesn't really take skill :P

i have no idea how to do it lol

Alright, so here's a short tutorial:
1. Use an image editing program like Paint.NET or GIMP (MS Paint won't work) to delete the white space around the sign.
2. Resize the canvas to a power of 2 (64, 128, 256, 512 - higher is better)
3. Name this file anything without spaces and put it in a folder called "prints"
4. Copy this folder and rename it "icons" and resize the print to 64x64.
5. Place these in another folder - you should call it Print_1x1_VoltageSign, but you don't have to
6. Inside this, add a "description.txt" and a "server.cs"
7. Keep the server.cs empty and make sure it isn't actually "server.cs.txt"
8. Inside description.txt, do this:

Code: [Select]

Title: High Voltage Sign

A high-voltage sign.
Feel free to customize this to your liking.
9. Zip this all up and name it Print_1x1_VoltageSign.
10. Congratulations, you made a print!

It sounds a lot more complicated than it is.

6. Inside this, add a "description.txt" and a "server.cs"

you mean create new files and leave the server.cs one blank?

Yep.
There are some better-written tutorials floating out there, try and find them.

It's not a power of two, it's eight doubled repeatedly.

[TristanLuigi]

It's not a power of two, it's eight doubled repeatedly.

512 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2⁹.
It's also 8³, as in 8 * 8 * 8.
So we're both right :P

[BluetoothBoy]

When I said eight doubled repeatedly, I meant 8*2=16, 16*2=32, 32*2=64, etc. What you typed is not X number to a power of two, it's two to a power of 9.

Edit: This is my 1337 post, why is this my 1337 post?! ;-;

A power of two is anything that can be written as 2^x, x² would just be a quadratic function. I just skipped the first few numbers, that's all.

Oh wow, I feel like an idiot now. I don't know how I mixed up "a power of two" and "to the power of two (ok, I guess it's pretty easy to get mixed up, but still)... Sorry for any confusion I may have caused! :(

Don't feel bad, happens to the best of us.
