If someone wanted to make a console version of this it would probably eliminate that issue, but for the majority of sheets that shouldn't be a problem.
It wouldn't quite be making a console version but if you want, I could try hosting this script on my home server for a while. I have full control over the entire computer so I could easily bump up the PHP memory limit and runtime limit to ridiculous numbers if desired :V

That's fine by me. Here's an improved version of the script:
http://www.jermungandr.net/experiments/tsr-iconchop2.rar
The script automatically deletes any image files older than half an hour every time it is run, so you don't have to worry about the files it creates taking up a lot of space.
By the way, what are you guys doing about being able to post icons in the forum? Since they are no longer straight images you can't just use the forum image tags to display them. I was thinking maybe you could create a forum code that goes something like:
Code:
[tsricon img="URL_of_Icon_Overlay_Image" url="URL_of_Sheet"]Name of Sheet[/tsricon]With alternates like "tmricon" and "ttricon" for the other colors.
RE: Improved Icons - Dazz - 01-19-2014
Pretty much what I was thinking of doing. It may take a bit of tweaking, but shouldn't be too hard.
RE: Improved Icons - Petie - 01-19-2014
Maybe look for a plugin that would let us tie BBCode to a database call and then just do [tsr=1234] or something to that extent? Some research into securing it would definitely be necessary but this would be the most user friendly way to do it if we can do it safely.
RE: Improved Icons - Dazz - 01-19-2014
That would cause issues with off-site links, for things like submissions. I think that's the main concern; from the site itself that'd be great, but outside links wouldn't work with that method.
RE: Improved Icons - Petie - 01-19-2014
Ah, hadn't thought about stuff that wasn't on the site. Yeah, I guess the Drshnaps posted would be the most logical way to handle it then.

I've updated the BBCode. Should work fine now, if not a little off in the textular area.
RE: Improved Icons - Random Talking Bush - 01-21-2014
Definitely looks better, but the font still seems to be a bit too big.
(EDIT: The updated version looks a lot better now, not perfect but it's much better than it looked before.)
RE: Improved Icons - Jermungandr - 01-21-2014
Now you just need some for the game icons. :I

RE: Improved Icons - Garamonde - 01-22-2014
Am I the only one who likes the old, plain, non-shadowed pixelated verdana font better...?
EDIT: Fixed my wording... although it looks right in Chrome so disregard this I guess...
RE: Improved Icons - Dazz - 01-22-2014
It is the pixelated verdana font...
