A Land Far Away

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.

• Silver pieces (it_silver.tga) completed
• Platinum pieces (it_platinum.tga) completed

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

Leareth is doing the currency icons.

C'mon. Now I know we have more than one photoshop pirate around here.

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.

I actualy got bored and started messen around with gimp. If there are still icons that need maken Id love an excuse to keep messen with it. Just dont want to do ones that have already been done.

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.

Thanks for stepping up folks. Looking forward to seeing unique icons.
