I was organizing my backpack yesterday and started getting confused. The walnuts, chestnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and almonds all look the same, and I also mixed up the aloe and peppermint.
If I could make some new icons, would it be something you'd have the time and desire to change? Would it be worth the effort?

Everybody seems to love icons so I am sure we could/would use them. I just don't know when we will be doing another graphic update on the content side of things.
-
That just means I have plenty of time to get it right.
Thanks.

Icons are totally fun!
I'm pretty decent in photoshop if you want/need any help gul.

This is what I've done so far.

I grabbed an empty inventory page screenshot from single player and superimposed the icons on a new layer. I say this to let you know I haven't done anything clever.
The first column, top to bottom, is ivy, peppermint, and aloe.
The third column is chestnut, pecan, hazelnut, almond, and walnut.
If you like the way these look, I can make others.

Nice work man!
-
*cracks whip* Get working on more. :)
Heh, good work man, I like them.. Lets get a good amount so that we can do an update all at one time.
-
I concur, those are rather impressive.
-
Well done. Layo has some very talented people. I have never seen a community of such talented individuals using their talents for something to serve others. Its a great family.
-
Thank you very much.
I'll look around at other icons in-game and see what I can come up with.
-
those are great!, it will let you tell all of them apart

Hey gul, lal and I are making some icons too. Want to coordinate our efforts?
And if you need help getting them IG I've figured out how to do it using the override folder (for quick previewing) and put them into haks.
I imagine you've looked up the specifications of the format you'll need them in (32x32 per inventory square, with an alpha channel for transparency yadda yadda.)
But, yeah, lets work together on this so we don't duplicate work :)
I was waiting to hear back from orth about the project team thinggy... but, if we build it they will come? :P

wow Gulnyr.....great work.
If you have more time...could you look at wood as well please. Hickory, Oak and Mahogany all look the same.
Thanks

Talan: Coordination sounds fine to me. I have a list of about 20 or so items I thought of doing just from thinking of items I use a lot and looking at a vendor for ten seconds while shopping. I wouldn't mind learning the other stuff about the override and haks. And I've got the size and alpha channel stuff down, yeah.
Anyone else: I'll take a look at anything you suggest. I can't guarantee a new icon for everything, though. Some icons are already good enough, like belladonna. I was going to draw that one, too, but it turns out the current icon looks close enough to a belladonna leaf that it would just be extra work to change it.
I'll look into the branches, but no promises. One log looks pretty much like another to me.
-
Nice graphix Gulnyr ;)
-
Is there any plan to make multiple wood icons still in the works? Gul? Talan? (I realize we've got a horizon, but that's no reason not to keep improving until we reach it.)
-
I forgot all about branches. I'll look into it.
-
Would be great :)
