Needed icons

Ronan · Post by **Ronan** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 10:22 am

Simple enough little things, but we'll need quite a few of them. No rush or great need on any of these, they are just nice things to have. We can always re-use other icons, after all. Community content may eventually become available to take care of a lot of these for us. So this is just a list of what we need - I don't really care how its gotten (from the vault, photoshop, unused icon already included in NWN2, etc). Existing icons are found here (new ones should follow the same style, of course):
C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\UI\default\images\icons

As always post what your going to be working on in this thread to prevent duplicate efforts. Leareth started doing some of the common spells I know.

Please submit all icons here: ftp://alfatech:moonblade@ftp.alandfaraway.org/Icons
Be sure to follow the naming conventions listed below.

The lists are as follows:

Skills:
Icon filename: isk_<DESCRIPTION>.tga
ie, isk_climb.tga

Balance
Climb completed
Decipher Script completed
Disguise
Escape Artist
Forgery
Gather Information completed
Handle Animal
Jump
Perform (all 9, though again one icon could be used for all)
Profession (no more than one icon)
Ride
Sense Motive
Speak Language completed
Swim
Use Rope completed

Feats:
Icon filename: ife_<DESCRIPTION>.tga
ie, ife_trip.tga
Unsure, need to figure out a bit more about how the GUI works with active feats and skills.

Items:
Icon filename: it_<TYPE>_<DESCRIPTION>.tga
<TYPE> is 's' for scrolls, and is absent for currency.
ie, it_s_mindblank.tga for a scroll of mind blank.

Copper pieces (it_copper.tga) completed
Silver pieces (it_silver.tga) completed
Platinum pieces (it_platinum.tga) completed

We also need a scroll for EACH spell listed below.

Spells:
Icon filename: is_<DESCRIPTION>.tga
ie, is_mindblank.tga for the Mindblank spell.

Dimension_Door
Teleport
Greater_Teleport
Word_Of_Recall
Placeholders (levels 0-9, again 1 icon is probably ok here)
Disguise_Self
Scrying
Detect_Scrying
Detect_Poison
Detect_Magic
Read_Magic
Dancing_Lights
Ghost_Sound
Mage_Hand
Mending

Open_Close
Arcane_Mark

We also need a scroll icon for each one of these spells!

A thought - why not just use some of the icons within other games/systems/etc?

Easier than coming up with all of them on our own and ought to be considered Fair Use, no?

Probably. I really don't care where people get the icons, as long as they get them. I don't have time to think about it at all myself.

Could you post a zip-file with the icon's so I can download them? I can give a few a whirl, but I don't have the actual game myself.

RARed and uploaded to the fore-mentioned FTP, ftp://alfatech:moonblade@ftp.alandfaraw ... _icons.rar

Cool. I take it pure black (RGB[0,0,0]) means its transparent?

From what I've found working on them, black is black. If you're working in Photoshop you get the checkerboard transparency.

Well, people were supposed to post in this thread indicating what was already being worked on. But since it seems they are too good for this thread (*sniff*), you may want to ask in chat.

Oops. Sorry.

I've been working on skill icons so far. I've got Ride, Decipher Script, Climb, and Gather Info done.

EDIT: Speak Language also completed.
