Well, Storm Summoning / Freezing rain is now the placed Defense Debuff icon.

And Arachnos patron shields now use S/L Resist icon. I'll hop on Test and check the others.

[edit] Doesn't seem to be the case...

Looks like they made their own S/L resist icon for the patron shields, and used the old tier9 icon they used to have for the new powers like Hibernate and Surge of Power. The exception is Scorpion Shield, which has another new "defense buff" patron power icon. Personally, I would have given it the same S/L resist icon as the others and used the defense buff icon for Personal Force Field, but oh well.

So if I had all these .png images of the changes I was interested in making, would you be able to change them into texture format?


[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe. Do they fit in with the other icons? The level of excellence I shoot for is to make it hard to tell if I or the art guys made the icons.

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Just FYI, the latest version of the icon pack has been uploaded. All the links (and advice) in the OP will work for it, so download away. I'll get the changes lists up later.

Question: Is there a resource for converting images to .texture files? I'm interested in following in your footsteps and making icons for myself (for RP and personal aesthetic reasons).

I've got a question.

I really like what you did with Electric Armor's Lightning Field Icon, giving it the 'Damage Over Time' symbol.

Do you have any plans to change Death Shroud, Blazing Aura, Icicles, Mud Pots, and the other powers like this one? I'd REALLY like to see that kind of detail put onto those particular powers.

Also, sorry to bump once more...

Powers like High Pain Tolerance for Willpower don't need the Dull Pain symbol. The clock-like symbol int he background means it's for a limited time, rather than something that's always on. It'd be best to use the Stalker's reconstruction graphic, indicating it gives you HP.

He's tried that. The problem is, A: he's not too happy with the result and B: the DoT icon is difficult to make.

As for High Pain Tolerance, the Dull Pain icon has been associated with a straight out HP buff for ages. A simple cross means a heal, whereas a cross buff means a regen buff, and this power is neither. Until recently, there was no heal over time power, so that wasn't a problem.

What shall claim a Sky Kings' Ransom?

(QR) Any idea when the Mission Teleport icon will be fixed? Or if anyone has an alternative?

(I was thinking the signage from Portal would work... but... yeah.)

I could fix its appearance in the tray, but that wouldn't help much. It's not pointing at its proper icon file (which is just a temporary power-colored Teleport icon), which means that its using the default icon for powers missing their icons (that grey button with the red X or the small white square), depending on where the icon is being used. I might change it, along with the other Booster Pack powers (Self Destruction and Mystic Fortune), to something more distinct, once they have the icons working right.

That would be nice, Self Destruct really needs to be more noticeable. A distinct Red, Orange or Yellow would be awsome.
