PS---This was the note from Statesman about a 13 months ago. It's pretty succinct but it basically explains what I was trying to say above.
"Hey - my brother served in Korea (10th Mountain). Career military. Coming up on 18 yrs.
Anyway, we can't use volunteers. Remember the nasty lawsuits with EA and Ultima Online? Very problematic.
I'd love to have a proofreader - trying to get a fulltime editor/writer hired, in fact. There's SO much text!
I agree on the interactitivity 100%. Stuff to engage people. "

Yeah, that's why they can't make my power icon fix official.

What are you, his mother? -
No, bad! You do not quote a 2 page post for a three-line response!
-
No matter how much time you spend telling me how much work it is, I will still want power customization more than any other feature. I appreciate you putting so much time into this FAQ, though.
-
This. If any art guys are reading, it was very easy to make by putting the Eye of the Magus icon into Photoshop and taking the Hue/Saturation tool to it!
-
I could, but it would change the icon for PvP zone resistance buffs, too. In fact I do have it changed on my machine, but I hardly go into PvP zones so it doesn't bother me. I don't want to put changes into my "official" pack that fix one thing but break another.
-
You mean as in different from the new icon I already gave it? No, all the patron shields point to the same icon file. Besides, typed defense shields tend to use the same icon symbols as resistance shields.

I still long to see this for my Corr.

You're preaching to the choir here, buddy.

I wonder, is there any way you could create an interface for this whole process? Like, a screen with a list of all game powers and their icons so someone could easily mix and match them as they pleased.
Or even...
An icon-creating toolbox program that would put icons together from scratch. It would have 3 columns:
Powerset (icon color scheme)
Target (icon border)
and Effect (center icon image)
[/ QUOTE ]
It could probably be done, but not by me. I just don't have the knowledge or skills for such a thing. What I do boils down to making pictures in Photoshop and then putting them in the right folder. Also, I'm pretty sure the use of a program that can open and change the all the icons in the game would be against the EULA.

Is there any way you can redress the mouse pointer? I'd like something more ... visible.
I am using the "Ctrl highlights the mouse pointer" feature in Windows but it doesn't work well.

I could ostensibly change the cursor's appearance, but not its size, so I don't think I could help you there. Happy Birthday!

I think the total effects you could expect the power to do is more important for an icon to describe than how it looks or feels while doing it. That's why I didn't change Alkaloid's symbol to a picture of a piece of poo. Seriously though, Alkaloid sucks.
Anyway, I knew I wasn't going to be able to please everyone with these changes, that's why I included the info on how to revert my changes. I could try giving it the "damage over time" symbol, that way it would match the icon for Sands of Mu, if you'd like that better. -
That happens when you delete a modified icon file while the game is running. Just restart the game without the modified files in place.
-
Ooh, that's a good idea.
-
Just posting to let everyone know that I am still making more fixes and consistency changes, and also to bump this thread to keep it from getting purged.
-
I can't get them to fix it!
-
I can't fix Howling Twilight or Blaster Burn because the game is showing the wrong icons. In fact I shouldn't have to; the proper icons exist and are already in game, but it's not using them. Fixing them would break the power it stole the icon from.
I'm mulling over what to do with Glue Arrow. On the one hand, it does need a target to be used, but on the other hand it also leaves a pseudo-pet with a persistent AoE effect like other location AoE powers. I could try combining the borders, but since there's no precedent for that sort of thing in the dev-made icons... -
I just tried it myself, both the Map Pack and the standalone installer for the Icon Pack, and it worked fine. I don't know what to tell you.
-
Hm, I'll talk to Sapph. That's his department.

The question comes up a lot whether this is allowed by the EULA. I'll let Sapph explain why we believe it is:
Quote:We feel this section does not apply to the map pack or similar graphical modifcations. The section is specific to the use of the Software and the Service, not the Game Content. We believe that, as a legal agreement, the EULA cannot be viewed piecemeal, but as a unified whole. As such, the EULA implicitly defines Software and Game Content as seperate legal entities - the former that is protected from ALL changes and/or derivative works, and the latter that is not. The version of the EULA that is quoted here was dated November, 2007, and was found at http://www.plaync.com/help/eula_coh.htmlOriginally Posted by SapphSpeaking in my official capacity of a co-owner and the technical administrator of Badge-Hunter.com and VidiotMaps.com, and the current distributor of Vanden's Power Icon Correction Pack:
We believe the EULA permits the use of the VidiotMaps map pack and other graphical modifications. Specifically, section 6 ("CONTENT AND MEMBER CONDUCT"), paragraph b states (emphasis added):

Obviously, the map packs are a "derivative work". They are indeed, substantially similar, both in ideas and expression to NC Interactive Game Content. However, since this derivative work is used for noncommercial personal purposes in connection with the creation of a fan webs site regarding the same, it seems clear that this use is licensed.

The icon pack has been updated, now for Issue 18! Thanks to Beef Cake at VidiotMaps for hosting it, and thanks to GuyPerfect for his very helpful icon tech. You can download it from the VidiotMaps.com download page. As always, here is a preview of some of the changes I've made. In addition to those ancient preview images, every icon in my signature image is an icon included in the pack.
This latest version contains alterations for 257 icons.
(Not including multiple powers that use the same file)
Reverting icon changes
If you don't like a change I made, the steps to revert it are simple. First, navigate to your City of Heroes/Villains installation folder. On most machines this is "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes" or "C:\Program Files\City of Villains". Then, navigate through the folders: Data -> texture_library -> GUI -> Icons -> Powers. Inside the Powers folder is where the changed icon files are stored. Then simply delete the file that corresponds to the icon that you want reverted. For example, to revert the icon for Unstoppable, delete the file "Invulnerability_Unstoppable.texture".

Changes new to this update:- Kinetic Melee and Electric Control have been given their own unique color schemes.
Currently unfixable (by me) icons:- Energy Aura/Dampening Field (doesn't have its own icon, is pointing to Power Shield's icon)
- Energy Aura/Energy Cloak (uses the same file as Energy Aura/Hide; the two powers provide differing levels of stealth, but by default they use the Phase Shift symbol. I fixed it to be accurate for Hide)
- Dual Blades's, Fire Melee's, and Electrical Melee's taunt powers are single target when used by Scrappers and targeted AoE when used by Brutes and Tanks, but all versions use the same icon, so there's no way to make it accurate in all cases. (Wouldn't you know it, there's separate icons for Dual Blades Build Up and Blinding Feint, which have the exact same symbol, but not for Taunt and Confront?)
- Freeze Ray (It's a single-target hold that's in a set with 2 single-target holds. Not technically unfixable, but I can't for the life of me come up with a better icon for it or Bitter Freeze Ray than the sleep symbol in lieu of the Hold symbol)
- Zero-G Pack (a proper icon exists, but the game is pointing at the Raptor Pack icon)
- Vial of Bees and Clockwork Connection both summon 3 underling pets, but since all the temp pet powers use the same icon, I can't give them the three pet symbol.
- Same story with the Summon Spiderlings power in Mace Mastery for Stalkers
- Vigilance (has "damage increase" symbol because it's pointing at the Defiance icon)
- Gauntlet (ditto)
- Conditioning (ditto)
- Traps/Time Bomb (both Traps/Time Bomb and Traps/Detonator point to the same icon; the icon isn't accurate for either of them, so I fixed it to be accurate for Detonator, since more people took that power)
- Villain Ancillary Power Pools: several of the pools have a mishmash of color schemes because of using shared icons.
- Patron Pets given proper "Pet power" border, inner symbol changed to normal pet summon symbol

Reminds me of this video. It's hard to see, but basically it's a crab that gets sucked through a 3 millimeter crack.

Woo! I finally got in someone's sig with only one degree of separation!

You know, Posi, you never told me what "E3 2004 Screenshot Mode" is.
-
Great, you just had to go muddle up this lovely dev dialogue by trying to talk about issues with the GAME. Sheesh.
-
Now why would someone one-star this thread? They must be jealous of my uncanny ability to get multiple redname posts in one thread by unabashedly asking for them.

Issue 11 has them all changed to their desks, sorry!

So many ways to misinterpret that, and I can't think of one. -

Do I want dev posts or new game content/fixes? Yeah, I'll take the devs actually working on the game, if one must choose.
