is there a utility on byond with wich i can for example
choose a base icon, add overlays etc and then save the icon together with all overlays on it?

i would really appreaciate as my icon has lots of states and well, its annoying when i have to add 1 by 1 direction on each.

If you mean permanently altering the icon, all you need to look at is icon.Blend() with the ICON_OVERLAY parameter. You can do it in a BYOND program, although it's code-intensive and unless you're good at DM it might be easier just to do it by hand!

In addition, you could try copying the overlay icon in the BYOND icon editor, then pasting it over the other.

Sounds a lot like F_People to me except you cannot add your own overlays. HA. Maybe Flick should add that to his program.

As for your utility request, I probably could make one in a few hours. That is if you provide some details on how you would want it to work. For example, how would you want the overlays to be added? Also how are your icons structured?
